Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) upcoming flagship series, the iPhone 16, is generating a lot of buzz. Here’s a roundup of all the rumors and leaks about the highly anticipated device.
What Happened: The tech giant is expected to release its iPhone 16 series in September, continuing its tradition of annual launches. The new series is anticipated to feature larger screens, a revamped design, and improved performance, among other upgrades.
Screen Size And Display: The iPhone 16 is expected to have a 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Plus will feature a 6.7-inch display. The Pro models are anticipated to be even larger, with the iPhone 16 Pro sporting a 6.3-inch display and the iPhone 16 Pro Max having a screen of 6.9 inches. Previously, it was speculated that this iPhone with a gigantic screen was named iPhone 16 Ultra.
The new models are also rumored to feature a new OLED display with micro-lens array or MLA technology, offering improved brightness and energy efficiency. However, this will be a new technology for Apple smartphones. Therefore, it is possible that iPhone enthusiasts will have to wait longer, in case the technology is not ready for the iPhone 16 lineup.

Moreover, it is almost certain that the 2024 iPhone models will be powered by iOS 18 and one consistent rumor surrounding this software update is improved AI-powered functionalities. This could entail a revamped Siri, capable of efficiently executing complex tasks through voice commands.
A leaked report previously suggested that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max may come with an increase in battery capacity.

Some leaks have also suggested that new iPhone 16 models could feature "space black" and "rose" colors. The leak also suggests that the “Natural” and “White Titanium” hues are set to undergo slight modifications. It’s expected that the “Natural Titanium” shade will have a more grayish tone, while “White Titanium” will resemble a “Silver White” shade similar to the iPhone 14 Pro’s silver model.
