September is just around the bend and it brings tech lovers some buzzworthy news with the iPhone 16 entering the tech market. With Apple swearing by their tagline “ Think Different” it gives each of us tech geeks small easter eggs related to its release date, design changes, upcoming features, and more. Can’t wait? Don’t wait! Here’s all you need to know.
Expected Release Date
If you are an Apple lover, you’re sure to already know the cheat code behind Apple’s launch month, i.e. September. 2024 is proved to be exactly alike with the iPhone 16 charging up the tech market by the second week of September. Historically, Apple has had a tradition of holding its events on Tuesdays, which happens to be the 10th of September, 2024. If they choose to swear by the same, the pre-order doors would be opened for the public from the 20th of September itself. However, if they tend to bring any noteworthy changes to their lineups, Apple might consider rescheduling their release dates.
Design and Display Enhancements
The popular iPhone 16 has been rumored to offer a larger screen size for the Pro models. As reported by many, the iPhone 16 Pro could come with a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max variant comes with a 6.9 inch. These are by far one of the biggest displays implemented by Apple in their phones, bringing in a wave of significant yet spectacular design changes appreciated by all.
With big screens come bigger responsibilities, i.e. saying goodbye to unnecessary bezels, thanks to their newer design technology. In addition to this, Apple might have been taking their slogan too seriously by saying goodbye to the most-loved plus models to open doors to a better, thinner premium device called the iPhone 17 Slim rumored to be launched in the following year.
New Colors for the iPhone 16
Gone are the days when monochrome iPhones were a thing. 2024 is the year for everything colorful. The iPhone 16 makes the most of it with its many new color offerings as well and would be available in five distinct colors
- Black
- Blue
- Green
- Pink
- White
If your cart craves a Pro model, you’re in for a surprise. The Pro models come in with a more premium finish and stand-out colors being black, natural, pink, and white titanium following the tradition of the Great Pro Models.
Camera Upgrades in a Flash
For those click-click enthusiasts, the iPhone 16 models are sure to steal the spotlight. With major advancements, especially in the telephoto department, both the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models would have a 5x telephoto lens which is now equipped only on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This not only means better, sharper photos but better zoom performance for those long-distance shots you’d wanna capture.
In addition, Apple is rumored to be working on an anti-reflective tech that helps with lens flare and improves photo quality.
AI-Features with Apple Intelligence
In the world of everything AI, Apple goes the extra mile by launching Apple Intelligence, introduced in WDC in June 2024. Some of the following features include chat GPT integration, better Siri features, and tools for rewriting texts by themselves. These features are sure to make this new model not just smart, but the smartest of them all.
Performance Boost with A18 Chips
For the first time in two years, every iPhone 16 model is said to have the latest generation A18 chip while the Pro models are rumored to come with the A18 Bionic Pro, manufactured using TSMC’s cutting-edge 3 nanometer process for better performance.
Will iPhone Foldables Make an Entry?
Be it Google, Oppo, Motorola, or even Samsung, everyone has a foldable flagship model to its name but Apple. Apple isn’t going to break records with a new foldable design model in 2024. However, there have been multiple rumors of one in the making, with newer camera features such as vertical aperture.
Final Takeaway
By far the iPhone 16 has been successful in gaining the hype of newer and older Apple customers concerning everything ‘different’ it has to offer. Keeping in mind the newer design, chipset, and AI integration, this model is sure to make waves in the smartphone market boosting Apple’s popularity yet again.
