Apple is only a few months away from launching the iPhone 16 series, but according to a new leak, there are two major upgrades coming to this year's model.

According to a leaker using the name yeux1122 on the Korean platform Naver, both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will ship with larger screens this year. According to this person, the iPhone 16 Pro's screen will increase in size from 6.1" to 6.3" and the iPhone 16 Pro Max's display will increase in size from 6.7" to 6.9".

In addition to larger screens for both models, Apple will also reportedly use Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology to increase brightness and improve viewing angles on both displays.

According to yeux1122, the battery for the iPhone 16 Pro series will also be upgraded this year, with each model launching with a larger battery. As a result, the battery life should exceed that of previous iPhone Pro releases, according to Leeker.

Apple has not commented on its plans for the iPhone 16, but rumors have been rapidly gaining traction in the press over the past few months. We previously heard that Apple wants to bundle a larger battery into this year's model, and there has been some back and forth about whether the company will really boost the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro series or stick with those existing sizes.

Apple will be keeping up with the Galaxy S24 series: the Galaxy S24 Ultra lasted a whopping 16 hours and 45 minutes in a 5G web surfing test, while the Galaxy S24 Plus lasted 16:32. iPhone 15 Plus (14:14) and iPhone 15 Pro Max (13:39) offer impressive endurance, but with a considerable 2-hour lag.

Additionally, reports have surfaced suggesting that the iPhone 16 lineup's camera will get a major upgrade this year, including a new 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, which Apple says will make it easier to snap photos with the device's physical action button on the device to make it easier to snap photos. Apple could also add a number of AI features, as generative AI capabilities are expected to be announced in iOS 18 this year.

However, as in previous years, Apple has not talked about its plans for the iPhone 16, making it difficult to say with certainty what the company is planning. It is also worth noting that we do not know the identity of yeux1122 or how they were able to obtain information about Apple's plans. Therefore, until more rumors corroborate their claims and Apple itself has a chance to speak out, it is best to take their claims with the proverbial grain of salt.

However, the number of rumors is growing as we head into 2024, and it is clear that the iPhone 16 is getting closer to launch. Until then, stay tuned to our iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro hub for the latest rumors and leaks.
