Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 16 this September, and the anticipation is high as we await the next chapter in the iPhone saga. If you’re considering upgrading from the iPhone 15, here's a look at what’s changing and what remains the same between the two models.
iPhone 16 Design and Size
While the iPhone 16 won’t bring any drastic changes in size compared to the iPhone 15, it will feature some subtle design tweaks. The new iPhone 16 will maintain the same dimensions as its predecessor. However, Apple is introducing a vertical camera layout for the iPhone 16, a shift from the diagonal arrangement seen in the iPhone 15. This new layout is expected to enhance the phone's ability to capture spatial video, particularly useful for the Vision Pro headset.
iPhone 16 Colours
In terms of colour options, the iPhone 16 is expected to offer a range of vibrant choices. Rumours suggest that it will be available in black, green, pink, blue, and white. Some sources hint at additional shades, including a light pink and a darker blue-green. The iPhone 16 will continue with the colour-infused back glass design seen in the iPhone 15, featuring a frosted effect that adds a premium touch.
iPhone 16 Specifications
Under the hood, the iPhone 16 will be powered by Apple's new A18 chip, built on the advanced 3-nanometer technology. This promises improvements in efficiency and performance, though exact details are still under wraps. The standard iPhone 16 models are expected to come with 8GB of RAM, up from the 6GB found in the iPhone 15.
iPhone 16 Camera
The iPhone 16 will sport a revamped camera system with a vertical arrangement. This design change is aimed at better accommodating the new spatial video capabilities. Although there won't be a major overhaul in camera specifications, the new setup is designed to offer improved photo and video quality.
iPhone 16 Battery and MagSafe
The iPhone 16 will also see enhancements in MagSafe technology. The alignment magnets are expected to be slimmer, making the magnetic ring smaller. Battery life is set to improve slightly, with the iPhone 16 featuring a 3,561mAh battery compared to the iPhone 15’s 3,349mAh. This could lead to better overall performance and longevity.
iPhone 16 Price in India and Availability
While exact pricing for the iPhone 16 in India will be announced after launch, it is anticipated that Apple may launch the standard model at a similar price point as its predecessor. To recall, iPhone 15 was launched last year at Rs 79,900.
The iPhone 16 and its counterparts are expected to launch around September 10, with pre-orders likely starting shortly after the official announcement.
