iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max to get bigger displays with significantly thinner bezels

Apple’s next-gen iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will retain the iPhone 15 design, including 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screen sizes and aluminum cases, but they’ll sport faster processors and up the memory to 8GB (up from 6GB) to support Apple Intelligence and other features. It’s the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max that will get the bigger, literally, changes.
Mark Gurman for Bloomberg News:


The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max… screen sizes are increasing to 6.3 inches on the smaller model (up from 6.1 inches) and going to 6.9 inches from 6.7 inches on the Max version. While the changes represent an increase of less than 5% on both models, the shift will come with bezels that are now about a third slimmer. That should make for a sleeker overall look.
Like the iPhone 15 Pro line, the 16 Pro models will support Apple Intelligence with the inclusion of 8 gigabytes of memory. They’ll also get speedier chips with an enhanced neural engine that Apple will say is optimized for AI.
Both of the iPhone 16 Pro models will get camera upgrades as well, including a move to a 48-megapixel lens from a 12-megapixel one for the ultrawide-angle camera. That will match the megapixels of the standard, wide-angle camera on last year’s model. The smaller iPhone 16 Pro will also gain 5x optical zoom on the telephoto lens, up from 3x, to match the Max version.
The most significant camera enhancement coming to both models: a dedicated, touch-sensitive button on the right side of the phone for taking photos and video. This button will be the biggest selling point for the new iPhones, other than AI. It will work similarly to a shutter button on a DSLR camera, allowing a user to lightly press it to focus on a subject and then press harder to take a picture. It will also be capacitive, allowing a user to swipe across it to move between still and video modes and zoom in and out.


MacDailyNews Take: These bigger displays, with markedly thinner bezels, will sell a lot of iPhones and upsell a lot of buyers from plain Jane iPhone 16/Plus to iPhone 16 Pro models.
