Here are the expected specifications and price of the iPhone 16 Pro, and all the features of this awaited phone, in addition to a comprehensive overview covering all the rumors and leaks that talk about the phone, in addition to expectations of what we can expect to see in the best Apple phone for the year 2024, which comes based on what we have seen in the phones. Which were launched in recent years.

iPhone 16 Pro specs

iPhone 16 Pro price and expected release date

Both the iPhone 15 Pro andiPhone 15 Pro Max The same prices as their predecessors, which arrived in 2022. However, one of the radical changes we saw is that the iPhone 15 Pro Max came in a standard version with 256GB of internal storage instead of 128GB, which technically raised the starting price from $1,099 to $1199.

Will the iPhone 16 Pro arrive at the same price as last year's phone? Or will we get a price increase? In principle, if you are waiting for me to tell you in the following words that it may witness a decrease in price, then I am sorry, my friend, I cannot lie to you because almost no company reduces its prices. The most likely possibility is that the phone will maintain the price of last year’s release at least, even if it witnesses an increase. Price wise, it will not exceed $100, so the price of the iPhone 16 Pro could be $1,000 or $1,100 at the latest.

Note that this is the company's official price, and the price will increase significantly from country to country depending on the interference of many factors such as taxes, customs, value-added tax, greed of merchants, etc.

The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to be officially announced in September 2024. This may change based on things like supply chain disruptions, production issues, and more. The announcement event may be held in the middle of the month, but what is certain is that it will be held on a Tuesday, which seems to be the company’s favorite day based on the conferences that have been held over the past years.

Display

According to multiple sources, including reliable analyst Ross Young, the iPhone 16 Pro will come powered by a larger display than the previous model. The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to feature a 6.3-inch screen, which is an increase from the 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro screen.

Assuming that these rumors come to fruition, this means that it will be the first time that the screen size of the iPhone Pro model will change since the launch of the iPhone 12 Pro in 2020. This is certainly a welcome addition, as a large segment of users have complained over the past years about the excessively small screen size. This is the main reason that prompted many to buy the Pro Max version, which features a larger screen ideal for watching movies and videos, browsing the Internet, etc.

How will this larger screen size affect the overall form factor of the iPhone 16 Pro? The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to be slightly longer than its predecessor, and it will certainly be heavier, as its weight is expected to reach 194 grams, but many reports indicate that its thickness will probably not change.

Will we get a battery upgrade?

A blogger published a leak in November 2023 showing a prototype of a battery that has a large percentage that we could see in the iPhone 16 Pro. As you can see in the image below, the battery features a new metal cover.

This will be the first time Apple has used a metal casing for an iPhone battery. In the past, the company exclusively used a traditional foil cover. The alleged iPhone 16 Pro battery is rumored to use the same L-shaped design and will have a capacity of 3,455 mAh, compared to the 3,274 mAh battery we saw in the iPhone 15 Pro.

Switching to a metal casing would provide significant improvements in cooling and heat dissipation for the iPhone 16 Pro. This could improve battery life, allowing the phone to operate at higher performance levels for longer periods of time, which in turn means resolving the overheating issues that affected the iPhone 15 Pro.

Furthermore, a separate supply chain rumor suggested that the iPhone 16 Pro will use a new “graphene thermal system.” This change will also improve heat dissipation and thermal conductivity. The iPhone currently uses a copper heatsink, and tests have shown that switching to graphene can provide approximately four times better thermal conductivity than the previous generation.

Finally, a rumor also claims that the iPhone 16 Pro will come with a new battery design. This could bring fast wired charging capacity to 40W (up from 27W on the 2023 phone) and MagSafe charging to 20W (up from 15W). So far, this rumor has not been confirmed and we recommend taking it with a little seriousness since Apple does not reveal much about these matters.

Rumored camera upgrades

There are a few rumors about camera improvements that we could see in the iPhone 16 Pro. It is worth noting that multiple sources reported that the iPhone 16 Pro will adopt the same 5x zoom quad camera currently available exclusively for the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also reported that the iPhone 16 Pro will use new Sony camera sensors for the main camera. While details in this regard are still somewhat scarce, it is expected that this change will lead to a significant improvement in the camera’s performance in low-light conditions.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro's ultra-wide camera is also expected to see a significant improvement. The iPhone's ultra-wide camera has remained largely unchanged since the iPhone 13 Pro was revealed in 2021. Analyst Jeff Pu reported that the iPhone 16 Pro will use a new 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera, which is a significant improvement over the current 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera. On iPhone 15 Pro.

Networks and communication capabilities

According to both Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu, the iPhone 16 Pro will come with Wi-Fi 7 support. This is an upgrade from the iPhone 15 Pro's Wi-Fi 6E support.

Wi-Fi 7 technology significantly boosts data transfer speeds, with theoretical peaks of over 40 Gbps. This makes it up to four times faster than Wi-Fi 6E and about six times faster than Wi-Fi 5. Wi-Fi 7 also focuses on reducing latency, which is key for things like smart home accessories and other smart devices like the Vision Pro.

But even if the iPhone 16 Pro will support Wi-Fi 7, users will need to upgrade their entire Wi-Fi routing system to one that supports Wi-Fi 7. This will be an expensive process, especially at first.

Analyst Jeff Pu also reported that the iPhone 16 Pro will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon X75 modem. This modem can achieve 5G download speeds of up to 7.5 Gbps thanks to its support for the “5G Advanced” standard.

Other features we may see in the iPhone 16 Pro

As always, it's important to remember that these are just rumors, and things can change. We will keep this article updated with the latest rumors and expectations about the iPhone 16 Pro, but if these leaks and rumored specifications are true, we are in the process of a wonderful phone that will turn all the scales around, and will compete strongly for the title of best smartphone in 2024.
