What You Need to Know About IPhone 16

First off, let’s talk about the release date. The iPhone 16 is expected to be announced on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, with preorders starting likely on Friday, September 13, and at least some models shipping on September 20. So, mark your calendars and get ready to camp outside the Apple Store, because you know you want to be the first one in your friend group to have it.

Now, let’s dive into the features. The iPhone 16 is rumored to have a larger 6.3-inch display for the Pro model and a whopping 6.9-inch display for the Pro Max. That’s right, folks, we’re talking phablet territory here. The standard and Plus models are expected to stick with their current 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes, so no need to worry about your pockets getting any smaller.

In terms of design, the iPhone 16 is rumored to have a vertical camera layout, because who needs symmetry when you can have a unique look? The Action Button, which was introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro models, is expected to be on all four iPhone 16 models. This means you’ll have yet another button to accidentally press while trying to take a photo.

The iPhone 16 is also expected to have a new “Capture Button” for taking photos and videos. Because, you know, the current way of taking photos on an iPhone is just too complicated. The microphone will be next to the lenses, and the camera flash will be located on the back of the device outside of the bump. So, get ready for some interesting selfies with the flash in the wrong place.

In terms of performance, the iPhone 16 is expected to have an A18 chip, with the Pro models possibly getting a slightly buffed-up version, the A18 Pro. This means you’ll be able to run all your favorite apps and games even faster, and you’ll have no excuse for not responding to your friends’ texts in a timely manner.

As for the price, we don’t have any solid rumors yet, but expect it to be in line with previous iPhone releases. So, start saving your pennies now, because you’ll want to be ready when the iPhone 16 hits the shelves.
