Apple iPhone16 Announcement
Apple faces immense pressure ahead of the event to prove the new AI features and other iPhone 16 updates are worth shelling out for an upgrade. Apple also needs to convince investors that it hasn’t fallen behind in the AI arms race, as rivals have already released similar features with the new technology.
iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max
The premium iPhone tier is set to see larger screens and a solution to the previous model’s heat management problems.
MacRumors reported that the displays of the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max would each be .2 inches larger than the equivalent iPhone 15 model at 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively. The site suggested that the phones would be slightly larger than its predecessors.
9to5Mac reports that the iPhone 16 Pro could see the same 5x zoom tetraprism camera that is currently exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The model could be able to record video at 4K resolution at 120fps for the first time.
The upper line could see the addition of a “capture button” that would open and operate the phone’s camera. 9to5Mac reported that the button could appear on all models while MacRumors suggested that it could be a Pro and Pro Max exclusive feature.
iPhone 16 Reveal; iPhone 16 Leaked Photo
A leaked photo from Apple watcher Kotusami Ito posted to X in November showed a prototype of the battery case that could be used in the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max to prevent overheating issues that plagued the iPhone 15 Pro. The case would use a metal cover instead of a tin one.
iPhone 16 Colours
Kuo predicted that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will be available in black, white or silver, gray, and rose.
iPhone 16 and 16 Plus
The anticipated headline announcement from Apple Monday is the new iPhone 16 range.
The major upgrade rumored to be in the iPhone 16 is a new A18 chip with 8GB of RAM to enable the support of Apple Intelligence, the company’s artificial intelligence software.
9to5Mac reported in March that the new chip had been designed to support on-device artificial intelligence.
The new models are said to be gaining an action button, replacing the iPhone 15’s mute toggle that had been previously incorporated into the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, according to MacRumors.
The cameras on the iPhone 16 will likely be re-arraigned from the diagonal orientation of the iPhone 15 to the vertical layout seen in the last generation’s Pro models. The change, according to 9to5Mac, is to support the recording of spatial video.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted on social media site X that the company will release the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus in black, green, pink, blue, and white.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported in November that the company was planning an overhaul to the wireless earbud offering and 9to5Mac suggested that the results of the shake-up are due Monday.
The company will sunset the Airpods 2 and Airpods 3, bringing the entry-level and midlevel wearables under the Airpods 4 banner.
The entry-level Airpods will likely not have noise cancellation while the midlevel offering will. 9to5Mac reports that the Airpods Pro will not see any changes until 2025.
