The launch of Apple’s iPhone 16 with a new camera layout is planned for September 2024.
Apple will unveil the iPhone 16 this September, and 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’s staying the same between the two models.
iPhone 16 design and size
While the iPhone 16 won’t bring any drastic size changes compared to the iPhone 15, it will feature some subtle design changes. The new iPhone 16 will retain the same dimensions as its predecessor. However, Apple is introducing a vertical camera layout for the iPhone 16, a departure from the diagonal arrangement of the iPhone 15. This new layout is intended to improve the phone’s ability to capture spatial video, which is particularly useful for the Vision Pro headset.
iPhone 16 Colors
In terms of color options, the iPhone 16 is expected to offer a range of vibrant options. Rumors suggest it will come in black, green, pink, blue, and white, with some sources suggesting additional shades including a bright pink and a darker teal. The iPhone 16 will retain the color-infused glass rear design seen on the iPhone 15 and feature 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, based on advanced 3-nanometer technology. This promises improvements in efficiency and performance, but exact details are still under wraps. Standard iPhone 16 models are expected to come with 8GB of RAM, up from the 6GB on the iPhone 15.
iPhone 16 Camera
The iPhone 16 will feature a redesigned camera system with a vertical arrangement. This design change is intended to better support the new spatial video features. Although the camera specifications are not being fundamentally overhauled, the new setup is expected to offer improved photo and video quality.
iPhone 16 battery and MagSafe
The iPhone 16 will also see improvements in MagSafe technology. The alignment magnets are expected to be slimmer, making the magnetic ring smaller. Battery life will improve slightly, as the iPhone 16 has a 3,561mAh battery, while the iPhone 15 has 3,349mAh. This could lead to better overall performance and longevity.
iPhone 16 price in India and availability
While the exact iPhone 16 prices in India will be announced after the launch, Apple is expected to launch the standard model at a similar price to its predecessor. To recall, the iPhone 15 was launched last year at Rs 79,900.
The iPhone 16 and its counterparts are scheduled to launch on September 10, with pre-orders expected to begin shortly after the official announcement.
