The iPhone 16 is rumored to have a 6.3-inch display, a new vertical camera lens arrangement, and a pill-shaped camera bump. It may also feature a new Capture Button for taking photos and videos. The A18 chip is expected to power the iPhone 16, and it may support Wi-Fi 7. The standard iPhone 16 models are expected to have a starting storage capacity of 256GB, while the Pro models might offer up to 2TB of storage.
The iPhone 16 Pro's battery design has reportedly changed with the introduction of a metal shell, as opposed to the foil casing used in previous models. This change is believed to improve thermal management, as metal would help distribute heat rather than concentrating it. The new battery design is also said to use a graphene heat sink and a metal battery case, which could improve heat transfer. Additionally, the battery cells may have an increased energy density and could be encased in stainless steel instead of aluminum.
