Skipping the iPhone 15 Pro? Here's What's Rumored for iPhone 16 Pro


Are you skipping the iPhone 15 Pro and waiting another year to upgrade? If so, we already have some iPhone 16 Pro rumors for you.

Below, we recap new features rumored for the iPhone 16 Pro models so far:

  • Larger displays: The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be equipped with larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, respectively, according to Ross Young, CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants. The devices are expected to have taller aspect ratios as part of this change. By comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays, respectively.
  • 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens: The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature an upgraded 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera lens for higher-resolution photos with more detail when shooting in 0.5× mode, according to Jeff Pu, a tech analyst at Hong Kong investment firm Haitong International Securities.
  • Wi-Fi 7 support: The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will also support Wi-Fi 7, according to Pu. This would enable the devices to send and receive data over the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands simultaneously, resulting in faster Wi-Fi speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connectivity. Wi-Fi 7 is expected to offer peak data transfer speeds of over 40 Gbps, a 4× increase over Wi-Fi 6E.
  • 5x optical zoom on Pro model: The iPhone 15 Pro Max's tetraprism lens system with 5x optical zoom will expand to both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, according to supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
iPhone 16 Pro models should launch in September 2024, so there is still plenty of time to go, and additional details will surface over the coming months.

The A17 chip designed for the iPhone 16 and ‌iPhone 16‌ Plus will be made using a fundamentally different manufacturing process to the A17 Pro in the iPhone 15 Pro to cut costs, according to a rumor that has now been clarified by a reliable source.


A17 Feature Dark

A Weibo user who claims to be an integrated circuit expert with 25 years of experience working on Intel's Pentium processors was first to float the rumor in June. Now, the same source has clarified Apple's apparent plan for its standard iPhones' chip in 2024.


The ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌'s A17 Pro chip is fabricated using TSMC's N3B process, but Apple reportedly plans to switch to the lower-cost N3E process for next year's standard A17 chip designed for the ‌iPhone 16‌ and ‌iPhone 16‌ Plus. This will mark the first time that Apple has designed a chip specifically for its standard iPhone models. In previous years, Apple simply gave the entire ‌iPhone‌ lineup the same chip before staggering them by one year between the standard and the Pro models starting with 2022's iPhone 14.



The A15 Bionic chip in the ‌iPhone 14‌ and ‌‌‌iPhone 14‌‌‌ Plus is a higher binned variant with one additional GPU core than the A15 used in the ‌iPhone 13‌ and ‌‌‌iPhone 13‌‌‌ mini, so some cross-generational differences despite outwardly featuring the same chip would not be unheard of, but this would effectively be the retention of the same name on a fundamentally different chip.


N3B is TSMC's original 3nm node created in partnership with Apple. N3E, on the other hand, is the simpler and cheaper node that most other TSMC clients will use. N3E has fewer EUV layers and lower transistor density than N3B, resulting in lower efficiency. N3B has also been ready for mass production for longer than N3E, but it has much lower yield. N3B was effectively designed as a trial node and is not compatible with TSMC's successor processes including N3P, N3X, and N3S, meaning that Apple has to redesign its future chips to take advantage of TSMC's innovations.


Apple was originally believed to be planning to use N3B for the A16 Bionic chip, but had to revert to N4 because it was not ready in time. It is likely the case that Apple is using the N3B CPU and GPU core design originally designed for the A16 Bionic in the A17 Pro, before switching to the original A17 designs with N3E later in 2024. This architecture will presumably be iterated on through TSMC's successor nodes for chips like the "A18" and "A19."


The Weibo user was first to say that the standard ‌iPhone 14‌ models would retain the A15 Bionic chip, with the A16 being exclusive to the ‌iPhone 14‌ Pro models – a rumor that went on to be widely corroborated and turned out true. Earlier this month, Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu corroborated the rumor about 2024's A17 chip being fabricated with N3E, adding that the ‌iPhone 16‌ and ‌iPhone 16‌ Plus will also feature 8GB of memory, up from 6GB on the iPhone 15 and ‌iPhone 15‌ Plus.

Segundo este rumor, para o ano saem dois SOC. Um A18 para os modelos normais e um A18 Pro para os modelos Pro.
 

iPhone 16 to Include an Additional Capacitive 'Capture' Button​

https://www.macrumors.com/2023/09/25/iphone-16-capture-button/

The iPhone 16 series is expected to gain an additional capacitive button, known internally as the "Capture Button." Codenamed "Project Nova," the button is likely to be one of the main selling points of the ‌iPhone 16‌ lineup, assuming it gets past the initial testing phase. The Capture Button is located on the same side as the Power button, only positioned slightly lower - where the mmWave cutout can be found on more recent iPhone models. The mmWave cutout has been moved to the opposite side, located under the volume buttons.
Along with the new Capture Button, the ‌iPhone 16‌ lineup is expected to gain a capacitive Action Button. Known as "Project Atlas," the haptic Action Button uses a design similar to the Capture Button, using strain gauges and reluctance motor to provide the necessary haptic feedback.
the base model ‌iPhone 16‌ is expected to feature a redesigned camera bump, with vertical camera arrangement akin to the ‌iPhone‌ 12. The Pro models are also set to feature an increase in screen size, from 6.1" and 6.7" to 6.3" and 6.9", respectively.

iPhone 16 Lineup Will Feature A18 and A18 Pro Chips, Analyst Says
In a research note with investment firm Haitong International Securities this week, obtained by MacRumors, Pu said "we view A17 Pro as a transition design and now expect all the iPhone 16 models to feature A18, on TSMC's N3E."

In response to our email, Pu clarified his expectations, as outlined below:
  • iPhone 16: A18 chip (N3E)
  • iPhone 16 Plus: A18 chip (N3E)
  • iPhone 16 Pro: A18 Pro chip (N3E)
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max: A18 Pro chip (N3E)

Novo chassis, ou seja, serão maiores que os 15 Pro.
Também acho mas já li vários artigos que indicam que antes de mexerem no chassi irão reduzir ou até eliminar o notche/faceid.
Além disso acho estranho este ano redesenharem o interior do Pro para no ano a seguir apresentarem um novo chassi. Não é habitual na Apple.
 
Quando digo novo chassi, refiro-me ao facto de ele ir ser maior, não que o design seja extraordinariamente diferente face ao atual.

De qualquer das formas, estão aqui as dimensões preliminares:

iPhone 16 and 16 Pro: Preliminary Weights and Dimensions​

https://www.macrumors.com/2023/09/29/iphone-16-preliminary-weights-dimensions/

O iPhone 16 e 16 Plus serão idênticos aos atuais mas as câmaras voltam a adotar um alinhamento igual ao do iPhone 12.

Os Pro terão as seguintes dimensões:

As far as materials are concerned, the ‌iPhone 16‌ Pro and ‌iPhone 16‌ Pro Max are expected to maintain the same Grade 5 Titanium used on the ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌, with the same brushed finish and curved design. Similar to the base model ‌iPhone 16‌, the ‌iPhone 16‌ Pro is also expected to feature a slightly larger Action Button, and an entirely new capacitive "Capture Button."
 
Vou mesmo saltar o 15p e esperar pelo 16p. A ideia de um 6.3" é algo que me deixa bem alegre. Já gostava de ver algo assim fosse aqui, Samsung, Oneplus ou Pixel :P

Só faltava dizerem que iriam inovar e fazer um ecrã sem qualquer buraco ou whatever. Ir do meu oneplus 7 pro sem nada para outro, era mesmo o melhor.

Também acho que o sweet spot será entre 6.2 e 6.5.
Ando com o 13Pro 6.1 e queria mais, mas o Pro Max é calhau na minha opinião. (muito pelo formfactor que adoptaram)

Aguardemos.
 
Acho que podes tirar o cavalinho da chuva. O Touch ID só é melhor de usar se tiveres o telemóvel pousado numa secretária e precisares de o usar, de resto o Face ID é melhor.

Mas a Apple também tem solução para o problema que indiquei em cima, que é comprar um Mac e um Apple Watch.
 
@RicardoMoreira eu é o q uso mais no android. tenho o reconhecimento por cara desactivado. Sempre que ando de bicicleta (que é basicamente todo os dias), lá tenho que meter pin, porq não reconhece capacete+oculos..
Também desbloqueio muita vez, sem sequer estar a olhar para o telemovel. Simplesmente meto lá o dedo ao levantar e já vem desbloqueado.

Agora, se disserem que bom era ter os 2? Então ya, top :)
