iOS 18 is set to introduce several new LLM features across all iPhones. However, on-device AI capabilities might remain exclusive to the iPhone 16. Expect enhancements in Siri’s interactions with the Messages app, auto-generated Apple Music playlists, and seamless integration with productivity apps for AI-assisted content creation.
Apple will transition to USB-C technology with the iPhone 15 lineup, and it is also expected to be used for the iPhone 16 models.

A huge Plus for battery
The iPhone 16 Pro models will adopt stacked battery technology, potentially leading to increased capacity and extended lifespan. These stacked batteries may also facilitate faster 40W wired charging and 20W MagSafe charging within a 3355mAh capacity.
Up to 26 hours video playback on iPhone 16 Plus
Up to 20 hours video playback on iPhone 16
Add a MagSafe charger for faster wireless charging
29% more screen.
Now that’s big and bigger.
iPhone 16 Plus has a supersized display
Increased Brightness: MLA technology significantly boosts the brightness of OLED panels. By placing billions of minuscule convex lenses above the OLED pixels, it redirects light toward the viewer’s eyes, resulting in brighter displays. LG claims that its new OLED TVs with MLA can be up to 150% brighter than certain models from the previous year.
Energy Efficiency: The lenses in MLA help optimize light distribution, reducing wastage of light not directly angled toward the viewer. As a result, an OLED TV equipped with MLA can be as much as 22% more energy efficient compared to a standard OLED panel. This efficiency gain may also contribute to extending the lifespan of OLED TVs.
META OLED: META (not to be confused with the social media company) complements MLA. It’s a brightness-boosting algorithm directly integrated into the OLED panel. META combines both hardware and software solutions to enhance brightness, further improving the overall performance of OLED displays.
Improved Viewing Angles: MLA technology enhances the viewing angles of OLED displays. By directing light more effectively toward the viewer, it minimizes color shifts and brightness variations even when you’re not directly facing the screen. This is particularly beneficial for larger TVs or curved displays where viewers may be seated at different angles.
Reduced Screen Reflections: The convex lenses in MLA help reduce screen reflections. When ambient light hits the screen, the lenses scatter it away from the viewer’s eyes, resulting in better visibility and less distraction from reflections. This feature is especially advantageous in well-lit rooms or environments with windows.

iPhone 16 Pro has Dynamic Island, a magical new way to interact with iPhone.
And an Always‑On display, which keeps your important info at a glance.
d moviesAn improved 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens could be part of the iPhone 16 Pro models, which would enable better images in dim light. It would probably work like the 48-megapixel Wide camera, which merges four pixels into one “super pixel” for enhanced image quality.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 48-megapixel wide-angle camera will likely have an eight-part hybrid lens with two glass and six plastic elements, as well as upgrades for the telephoto and ultra wide camera lenses.
The 5x Telephoto lenses could be available for both the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max in 2024, instead of being exclusive to the bigger Pro Max.
A new button on the right side of the iPhone 16 that lets you take photos and videos with ease. You can zoom in and out by swiping left and right on the button, and focus with a light press. To start a recording, you have to press the button with more force.
A new lens for the rear camera that allows you to zoom up to 10x without losing quality. This lens also enables spatial video recording, which is a 3D format that can be viewed on the Apple Vision Pro headset.
A 14-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) and a digital gain control (DGC) that enhance the camera performance. The ADC converts the light signals into digital data, while the DGC adjusts the brightness and contrast of the image. These features allow the iPhone 16 camera to capture more details and colors, especially in low-light conditions.
The iPhone 16 Pro’s camera technology is expected to feature a superior sensor with larger and more sensitive pixels. This would enable better performance in low-light situations and greater dynamic range, resulting in clearer and more vivid images even in difficult lighting conditions. The image quality is also rumored to be greatly improved, using the most advanced machine learning algorithms to fine-tune every shot for detail and color accuracy.
The iPhone 16 Pro is rumored to bring innovative zoom features that could transform the way we take photos with our smartphones. With the use of advanced periscope lens technology, users may be able to zoom in on faraway subjects with remarkable clarity and detail. Whether it’s capturing a stunning landscape or a soaring bird, the iPhone 16 Pro’s zoom features are expected to provide a new level of artistic freedom.
The iPhone 16 Pro’s camera technology is expected to offer professional video recording capabilities on the mobile platform. Users may be able to record high-quality 8K videos at higher frame rates, creating new opportunities for cinematic storytelling and professional video content creation. The use of advanced stabilization technology could also make handheld recording more smooth and professional-looking, reducing the gap between traditional video cameras and smartphones.
The iPhone 16 Pro’s camera technology is expected to enhance augmented reality (AR) features, using its advanced sensor and processing capabilities to provide immersive AR experiences. From innovative AR gaming experiences to interactive educational applications, the iPhone 16 Pro’s camera technology could enable new ways for users to interact with the world around them and connect the digital and physical realms in unprecedented ways.
A new wireless standard that improves the connectivity and speed of the iPhone 16 camera. With Wi-Fi 7, you can transfer your photos and videos faster and more reliably to other devices or cloud services.
A new TrueDepth front camera with autofocus and a larger aperture uses a 4-in-1 format that merges a 2×2 pixel grid into a bigger super pixel. This doubles the sensor size to 1.4-microns for the iPhone 16 Pro.
A 48MP ultrawide camera upgrade will not only enhance raw quality, but also minimize the quality difference between the main and ultrawide cameras on the iPhone 16 Pro.
The A18 chip comes in two variants: the A18 and the A18 Pro
The iPhone 16 uses the A18 chip, which is a new processor designed by Apple and manufactured by TSMC on the latest 3-nanometer node. The A18 is used in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models, while the A18 Pro is used in the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models. The A18 and A18 Pro chips are expected to offer faster performance and better efficiency than the previous generation of A-series chips. However, the exact specifications and features of the A18 and A18 Pro chips are not yet confirmed by Apple, and may change before the official launch of the iPhone 16 lineup.
Some of the possible features of the A18 and A18 Pro chips are:
A new type of memory that is faster and more power-efficient than the LPDDR5 RAM used in the iPhone 15 Pro models. The standard iPhone 16 models could be upgraded with 8GB of RAM
A second-generation 3nm chip fabrication process by TSMC that is less expensive and has improved yield compared to the first-generation 3nm process, N3B.
A new button on the left side of the iPhone 16 that can be used for various functions such as Siri, Apple Pay, and accessibility.
The iPhone 16 Pro models could be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 modem, allowing for faster and more efficient 5G connectivity.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the iPhone 16 Pro models could use the next-generation WiFi 7 technology, which is expected to offer speeds of “at least 30” gigabits per second, and could reach up to 40Gb/s.
