Both Pro and Pro Max models are also expected to have up to 6.9-inch displays.
Performance Boosts and Connectivity Enhancements
The iPhone 16 series is rumored to double the available RAM, starting at 16 GB, and feature a redesigned thermal protection system to prevent overheating. The Pro models may also boast upgraded WiFi 7 support and Qualcomm modem chips with mmWave 5G and sub-6GHz. Both advancements should improve connectivity and power efficiency.
