- iPhone 16 Pro is expected to feature 4 colour options
- iPhone 16 Pro is expected to boost its camera system
Ahead of the lunch, the rumours and leaks of the upcoming iPhone 16 series are doing rounds on social media. The rumours had been churning as soon as the idea of the iPhone 16 line-up surfaced and with iOS 18 coming up it became even more certain. The most recent leak suggests the colour palate of the iPhone 16 series, especially the higher-end device. According to this recent leak, the iPhone 16 Pro is most likely to feature a new colour along with the old ones. It indicated that the series will have 4 colour options, including the latest “Desert Titanium”.
The leakster, @MajinBuOfficial, took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal the iPhone 16 Pro line-up colour range. According to the tipster, the iPhone 16 Pro lineup will have four colours in total: white, black, gold and grey. The marketed names might not be the same and will be released only with the launch. While the four colours are usual in an Apple smartphone line-up, the leakster went on to explain how the gold colour might be different from the previous ones. He stated that the iPhone 16 Pro gold model is most likely to be a dark gold colour, resembling old purple colour. This model is expected to be called as Dark Titanium, which is relatively discreet and deeper than the previous purple model we saw in iPhone 14 Pro.
As the new colour has been leaked, don’t we all want to actually see it to fully understand how it looks? Well, another tipster has posted the same leak but with an elaborate image. A leakster on X, @SonnyDickson, shared an image of the iPhone 16 Pro colour options. He is also the one who leaked the colours of iPhone 16’s standard variant. Take a look.
If this is truly the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro, then the design looks the same as its predecessor, iPhone 15 Pro. The triple-camera panel housed on a square island resembles the iPhone 15 Pro and even iPhone 14 Pro. Does that mean that the design revamp will be only be seen in the standard variant of the iPhone 16 series?
iPhone 16 coming in September: What to expect
The iPhone 16 design is expected to feature some notable tweaks. The leaks have revealed that the vanilla variant of iPhone 16 will sport two vertically aligned cameras, reminiscent of the iPhone X and iPhone 11. However, the new model will reportedly house these cameras in a capsule-shaped camera island, offering a fresh look. But now that he photos of iPhone 16 Pro have resurfaced, there is not much difference that can be noted.
The upcoming iPhone 16 series is anticipated to boost storage and memory capabilities. Specifically, the Pro and Pro Max models may offer an impressive 2TB of storage, twice the maximum capacity of their predecessors, while the standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models are anticipated to feature 8GB of RAM, a notable upgrade from the 6GB found in the iPhone 15 series, ensuring smoother performance and multitasking capabilities.
The camera system on the iPhone 16 Pro models is most likely getting a significant boost, with the Ultra Wide lens being upgraded to 48-megapixel, resulting in enhanced low-light performance and the ability to capture high-resolution images. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max are rumoured to feature larger batteries, with a 6 per cent and 5 per cent increase in capacity, respectively. However, the iPhone 16 Plus may see a 9 per cent reduction in battery capacity.
