The iPhone 16 Pro is rumoured to feature a new ultra-wide lens, Wi-Fi 7, and a faster 5G modem.

Although Apple has just released the iPhone 15, there are already some online rumours regarding the iPhone that will be released in 2019. This time, some information on the iPhone 16 Pro’s anticipated features has been disclosed by analyst Jeff Pu of Haitong International Securities. Pu claims that the gadget will have Wi-Fi 7, a new ultra-wide lens on the back, and a speedier 5G modem.

iPhone 16 forecasts

Pu explains his projections for the iPhone 16 lineup based on his sources within Apple’s supply chain in a memo to investors obtained by 9to5Mac. The next iPhones will have displays that are 0.2 inches bigger than the 6.1- and 6.7-inch models currently in use. The bigger size of the iPhone 16 was already mentioned by analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Ross Young.

Apple will be able to use the same tetra-prism lens for 5x optical zoom that was first released with the iPhone 15 Pro Max on the smaller Pro model now that the standard iPhone 16 Pro is available in a larger size. Jeff Pu restates that a 12-megapixel tetra-prism lens will be included in both the Pro and Pro Max models for improved zoom.

Additionally, the source suggests that Apple intends to update the Pro versions with a more modern ultra-wide lens—a feature that hasn’t changed much since the iPhone 13 Pro. A 48-megapixel sensor will replace the present 12-megapixel sensor in the ultra-wide lens of the iPhone 16 Pro models, marking a significant advancement.

5G and faster Wi-Fi

The new A18 Pro processor, which is also constructed utilising a 3-nanometer technology, just like the A17 Pro, will be found in the iPhone 16 Pro. The 8 GB of RAM found in the existing iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max will remain in the new processor.

Nevertheless, the iPhone 16 Pro will be able to connect at even quicker rates via both Wi-Fi and 5G. Pu predicts that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X75 modem, which enables 5G download rates of up to 7.5 Gbps via a new “5G Advanced” standard, would be included in the upcoming iPhone models.

Although Wi-Fi 6e was first supported by the iPhone 15 Pro, Wi-Fi 7 may be available on the iPhone Pro of the next year. The.

Rumours of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16

According to Jeff Pu, Apple will continue to use just two rear lenses for the camera on the standard iPhone 16 model—no optical zoom—and the ultra-wide lens will retain its 12-megapixel sensor without macro or autofocus.

Additionally, it is anticipated that Apple will use a less potent A17 CPU rather than the A17 Pro for the iPhone 16. There will be no enhancements to the 5G modem and 8 GB of RAM (as opposed to 6 GB for the A16 Bionic). The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will receive a more subdued update to Wi-Fi 6e, while the iPhone 16 Pro will enable Wi-Fi 7.

The iPhone 17 Pro may be the first to employ a copper mainboard covered in resin to save space.
