Apple has been the most dominant player in the smartphone market for a long time, constantly innovating to bring new features and designs to their customers. The latest rumor mill is churning out details about Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16, and it seems like the tech giant is planning to up the ante with their next flagship smartphone.

One of the most significant rumors surrounding the iPhone 16 is the introduction of new screen sizes for the Pro models. Since the iPhone 12, Apple has kept the same two Pro model sizes, but the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants, Ross Young, suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro will feature new screen sizes, increasing both the aspect ratio and the screen size to around 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches. If these dimensions are close to 6.9 inches, this would make the iPhone 16 Pro the largest iPhone ever released, matching the size of Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra, one of the largest Android phones currently available. These dimensions will be formally announced during the Display Week conference on May 23.

While it’s unclear whether the extra screen space will result from a slightly larger frame or slimmer bezels, these changes are unlikely to significantly impact usability. However, these new dimensions are not the only change expected with the iPhone 16.

Earlier this year, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that the iPhone 16 line could include a third model, exceeding the iPhone 16 Pro Max in size. This device could potentially be the much-speculated iPhone 16 Ultra, initially rumored for release this year but now seemingly delayed until 2023.

Another rumor that has been circulating is the introduction of solid-state buttons, which reportedly encountered a snag during the development stage. Apple was planning to debut solid-state buttons with the iPhone 15 to enable additional functions, including an Action button to replace the mute switch. However, it seems this feature is likely to be introduced with next year’s iPhone 16 model.

Solid-state buttons, unlike traditional buttons, do not move physically but use haptic feedback to simulate the feeling of a click. This means that they take up less space and are more durable than their mechanical counterparts. In addition, they can perform more functions, making the iPhone 16 even more versatile.

One thing is certain – Apple has a reputation for keeping its customers on their toes when it comes to the release of new products. While rumors about the iPhone 16 are already making waves, we won’t know anything for sure until the official release. Until then, we can only speculate about what Apple has in store for us with the iPhone 16.

It’s worth noting that Apple has a history of keeping its iPhone designs relatively consistent for a few years before making significant changes. However, with the rapid evolution of technology and the ever-growing competition in the smartphone market, Apple may have to step up its game to stay ahead of the pack.

Mind you, this is all just hearsay! But who doesn’t love some enticing gossip. So until the release of the iPhone 16, we’ll just have to keep an eye out for more rumors and teasers from the tech giant.
