iPhone 16 series launch in September: 7 cool things to expect

iPhone 16 series is all but confirmed to launch on 10th September next month, and so far, we have a wealth of details about the next mainline phones from the Cupertino tech giant. There are several key features that Apple is expected to introduce, both new and old, which will make the iPhone 16 series quite refined and feature-rich.
Here are eight exciting things you can expect from the Apple iPhone 16 series:
This is set to be the standout feature of the iPhone 16 series, thanks to the A18 series chipsets that all the iPhone 16 models—the iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16, and iPhone 16 Plus—will incorporate. It will enable features like Genmoji, Image Playground, Grammar tools, and more.

iPhone 16 Pro models are more or less confirmed to feature titanium for the device frame. This means, just like the iPhone 15 Pro, the iPhone 16 Pro will be durable and scratch-resistant over time. Here’s our article showing how the iPhone 15 Pro has held up over more than a year.
Previously exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, both iPhone 16 Pro models will feature 5x telephoto tetraprism cameras for increased reach. This will also allow users to capture lifelike portraits with SLR and mirrorless camera-like background compression and bokeh.

This hardware addition has been rumoured for some time now, and at this point, multiple reports and sources have mentioned that all four new iPhone 16 models will include the Capture Button. It isn’t clear whether it will be a capacitive button or a physical button that you press, but it may allow you to half-press to focus, and could also feature haptic feedback to indicate a successful click.
iPhone 16 vanilla models are likely to feature a vertical camera layout, similar to models like the iPhone 12 and earlier. This is likely to support capturing Spatial Video for the Apple Vision Pro. Currently, the iPhone 15 Pro is the only phone that supports Spatial Video, and it has an ultra-wide camera positioned above the main wide camera. The iPhone 16 may feature a similar setup.
As with every year, Apple is expected to introduce several new colours with the iPhone lineup. For the iPhone 16 Pro, Apple is anticipated to introduce a Desert Titanium colourway, which is expected to be a shade between gold and bronze. This is likely to replace the blue titanium colourway and join the Natural Titanium, Black Titanium, and White Titanium colourways.

iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to feature new displays, increasing from 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively. This is likely to be good news for users who appreciate larger phones, though those who prefer smaller screens may not be as pleased.
