The iPhone 16 series launch is still distant, but Mac Rumors has revealed renders based on prototypes for the iPhone 16 Pro (code-named Diablo) and the iPhone 16 Pro Max (code-named Lightning). Both models appear similar to their predecessors, but with larger screen sizes and a new capacitive Capture button located below the power button on the right side.
Expected specifications for the iPhone 16 Pro include a 6.27-inch screen, measuring 149.6 x 71.45 x 8.25mm and weighing 194 grams. The 16 Pro Max is anticipated to feature a 6.85-inch display, measuring 163 x 77.58 x 8.25mm and weighing 225 grams. Updates to the 16 Pro series also include improved 48MP ultrawide cameras, with the smaller 16 Pro getting a 5x tetra prism zoom lens.
The notable hardware addition is the new Capture button, speculated to have a force sensor and flush placement with the phone’s frame. Exclusive to the Pro models, this button is expected to serve as a camera app shortcut. Its placement will require Apple to relocate the US-exclusive mm Wave antenna to the left side.
