1/11 Solid-state buttons: For months, it was rumoured that the iPhone 15 series would feature haptic solid-state buttons that would replace the physical volume buttons. But, the physical volume buttons are still present on the iPhones due to “manufacturing complexity, higher associated costs, and software integration issues”, according to Mark Gurman. Rumours suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max would get this feature. (Unsplash)

2/11 Bigger display: Apple analyst Ross Young has claimed that the tech giant will be introducing even bigger iPhones next year. Young claims that Apple could go even bigger next year with a 6.3-inch iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9-inch iPhone 16 Pro Max. Meanwhile, the standard models are expected to maintain their current sizes.

3/11 Under display Face ID: While Apple has now gotten rid of the notch across its entire iPhone lineup, the Face ID module, along with the front camera is still present at the top. However, that could soon change as Apple is looking to introduce a full-screen iPhone in 2024, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. It could feature an under-display Face ID sensor. (REUTERS)

4/11 WiFi upgrade: Apple could also bring Wi-Fi 7 technology to the iPhone 16 Pro models which would transmit data in 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands, and at speeds of around 40 Gbps. As per the report, this upgrade would not only result in faster networking speeds but also lower the latency and improve the reliability of the connection. (Unsplash)

5/11 Better camera - It is also reported that the iPhone 16 Pro might get the tetraprism lens too, following the inclusion of this feature in this year’s iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple is reportedly working together with its exclusive supplier Largan to improve the yield. Apple is also looking to pioneer specially moulded lenses to compensate for the smaller size of the smartphone. This would allow Apple to fit larger lenses without compromising the small form factor of the iPhone 16 Pro.  (Unsplash)

One of the most significant leaks points to the addition of two new iPhone 16 SE models, namely the iPhone 16 SE and iPhone 16 Plus SE, featuring 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays respectively. Both are said to include the signature Dynamic Island notch and a 60Hz refresh rate, potentially signaling the integration of the budget-friendly SE line into the main series.

Beyond the SE additions, the iPhone 16 series is expected to feature standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models with 6.3-inch displays and a 120Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could boast a larger 6.9-inch display while maintaining the smooth 120Hz refresh rate.

Additionally, camera configurations are rumored to vary across models, with the iPhone 16 SE models sporting a single pill-shaped rear camera similar to the iPhone X. In contrast, the standard iPhone 16 is speculated to feature a dual-camera setup, while the Pro models may come equipped with a triple-camera system akin to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.

While these leaks offer tantalizing insights, Apple's official announcement will provide clarity on iPhone 16 variants pricing and features.
