**Rumored Features of Apple's iPhone 16 Models**

In recent months, there have been numerous rumors and leaks about the upcoming iPhone 16 models. One of the most exciting features that has garnered significant attention is the new capture button, which was eventually scrapped. However, this move may not be entirely a bad thing, as it could pave the way for other innovative features. Speaking of new buttons, there have been whispers about the possibility of solid-state volume power and mute buttons on the Pro Models. Although these buttons were initially expected to make their debut in the 15 lineup, Apple may finally overcome the technical issues that plagued its plans.

**New Action Button and Programmable Buttons**

If you're an iPhone 15 user, you'll be happy to know that the new action button is making its way down to the iPhone 16 models. This feature will provide users with a more convenient way to interact with their device. On the other hand, Apple may introduce entirely different new programmable buttons on next year's iPhones, which would be an interesting move in itself. While the exact details of these new buttons are still unclear, they could potentially revolutionize the way we interact with our smartphones.

**Volume Buttons and Pro Models**

One of the most anticipated features for the iPhone 16 models is the introduction of solid-state volume power and mute buttons on the Pro Models. Apple may have finally overcome the technical issues that plagued its plans for the 15 lineup, allowing these high-end devices to boast improved functionality. While it's unclear when exactly these buttons will make their debut, fans of the Pro series can look forward to a more refined user experience.

**Size Increase and Display**

Another exciting development is the expected increase in size for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models. The iPhone 16 Pro is rumored to have a display that measures around 6.27 inches, which will be rounded up to 6.3 inches for marketing purposes. Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to feature a larger display, with some rumors suggesting it could reach an incredible 6.9 inches in size. While this may seem like a significant increase, fans of the Pro series can look forward to a more immersive viewing experience.

**Camera Upgrades and Spatial Video**

The camera department on the iPhone 16 models is expected to receive significant upgrades. One of the most notable improvements will be the vertical camera layout, which will return to its familiar design from the iPhone 12 and 12 mini. This could enable the new devices to record spatial video for Apple Vision Pro, a feature that has been in development for some time now. Furthermore, the 16 Pro Models are rumored to feature upgraded ultrawide sensors with a megapixel count of 48 megapixels, allowing for higher resolution when shooting at 0.5x.

**Periscope Camera and Optical Zoom**

Perhaps one of the most exciting camera-related features is the possibility of a super telephoto Periscope lens on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. This would enable users to enjoy dramatically increased optical zoom capabilities, which could be a game-changer for photographers and enthusiasts alike. Although this feature was initially rumored to be exclusive to the Pro Max in the 15 lineup, it's possible that Apple will make its way down to the smaller 16 Pro version next year.

**Internal Components and Performance**

When it comes to internal components, rumors suggest that the iPhone 16 Models will bring Wi-Fi 7 support and an A18 Pro chip. This would represent a significant upgrade over the current A17 chip used in the iPhone 15 series. For the standard models, fans can look forward to a more refined user experience with the A17 chip and 5G Advanced connectivity.

**Battery Life and Stacked Battery Technology**

Finally, there have been whispers about new battery life improvements and stacked battery technology on the iPhone 16 Models. This could result in higher capacities and longer battery lifetimes for users, which would be a significant improvement over current devices.

**iPhone 16 Ultra Rumors**

While not as widely reported, rumors have also surfaced about an additional iPhone model called the iPhone 16 Ultra. Although these features are still largely speculative, the iPhone 16 Ultra could potentially feature improved camera capabilities, an even larger display, and even a portless design. However, the skeptic in me is down on this rumor, citing concerns about Apple's ability to pull off such a bold move. Nevertheless, it's worth mentioning as a potential future development.

**Conclusion**

As we approach the release of the iPhone 16 Models, it's clear that these devices will offer significant upgrades and improvements over their predecessors. From the new capture button to the camera enhancements, there's much to look forward to for fans of Apple's flagship device. Whether you're upgrading from an older model or considering a new purchase, the iPhone 16 Models are shaping up to be an exciting development in the world of smartphones.

**Device AI Features and Siri**

In addition to these hardware upgrades, rumors also suggest that the iPhone 16 Models will boast improved device AI features and a more refined Siri experience. This could enable users to interact with their devices in new and innovative ways, which would be a significant step forward for Apple's virtual assistant technology.

**Conclusion**

As we look ahead to the release of the iPhone 16 Models, it's clear that these devices will offer significant upgrades and improvements over their predecessors. Whether you're upgrading from an older model or considering a new purchase, there's much to look forward to for fans of Apple's flagship device.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthe iPhone 15 it's a couple months old and it's already old news because we have tons of new info and features about the iPhone 16 and so in this video if you're one of those people who didn't get an iPhone 15 or maybe you're an yearly upgrade person we're going to go over all of the new features and upgrades that you can expect to see on the iPhone 16 lineup now first and foremost and quite possibly the strangest new addition is a new physical capture button which is rumored for not just the Pro Models but all iPhone 16 models now we did just get an action button on the pro model uh this is an entirely different button and the point of this button is a bit unknown if I had to take a guess when I hear capture it immediately ties you know my brain over to the camera side um and what specific features or functions it could do again all of this is still very unclear uh but the button is likely to be one of the main selling points of the iPhone 16 lineup assuming it gets past all the initial testing phase the capture button is located on the same side as the power button only positioned slightly lower where the millimeter wave cutout can be found on more recent iPhone models now that millimeter wave cutout right here is going to be moved over to the left side underneath the volume buttons uh what's also interesting in this case is that the button is capacitive and not mechanical like the buttons that we have now and again this was actually a rumored change for the iPhone 15 lineup for that new action button and the volume buttons which was eventually scrapped I would love to hear your thoughts on whether this new capture button is a selling point for you or not go ahead and let me know in those comments down below but and on entirely different new programmable button is an interesting move by Apple in my opinion now speaking of those volume buttons that were going to be uh capacitive Apple may actually introduce those solid state volume power and mute buttons to the Pro Models this year after potentially overcoming those technical issues that actually plagued its plans for the 15 lineup so that's another new upgrade that we could see uh with those buttons now again I mentioned earlier that we did get a new action button for the pros this year and if you're an iPhone 15 uh standard model user you'll be happy to know that we are expecting the uh action button to make its way down to the iPhone 16 models the standard ones another new update is the expectation that these iPhones will actually increase in size at least for the pro and the pro Max the iPhone 16 Pro will have a display that's around 6.27 in in size which is probably going to be rounded up to 6.3 for marketing purposes uh while the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to have a display that's 6.85 in in size round it up again to 6.9 so we'll have a iPhone 6.3 and an iPhone 6.9 that's not really a huge change but one that should feel relatively noticeable and if you were already kind of thinking that these phones were getting too big I'm sure you're not super happy about this news but yeah a couple of uh extra inches an inch and a halfish uh in terms of size will be added to the screens for those Pro Models the standard iPhone 16 models are rumored to have a vertical camera layout uh that's similar to the camera layout that was used on the iPhone 12 and 12 mini now Apple changed it on the 13 and 14 uh and it's not entirely clear why Apple would revert back but one theory is that this could allow for those new 16 and 16 plus devices to record spatial video for Apple Vision Pro speaking of cameras we are also expecting the 16 Pro Models to finally upgrade its ultrawide sensors megapixel count to 48 megapixels allowing for higher resolution when shooting at0 5x the new 16 Pro Max could be the first to feature a super telephoto Periscope camera for a dramatically increased optical zoom which is very intriguing because Apple already kind of upgraded that a lot this year by going from 3x Optical to 5x Optical and I already love shooting at 5x optically it's already so good so could we see a 10x optical zoom on the next iPhone that would be insane and I would love to see it uh and that's one of the rumored features not the 10x but just having a already dramatically increased uh Optical sensor for the telephoto lens now speaking of that 5x Optical that camera upgrade was only on the pro Max for the 15 and so that should make its way down to the smaller 16 pro version uh for next year in terms of internal components uh connectivity wise and just performance- wise we should see Wi-Fi 7 support an a18 Pro chip which is the followup to the 17 Pro that we have now uh for the standard models we should see a17 chips and 5G Advanced when it comes to those internal component upgrades rumors also suggest that these 16 Pro Models will use stacked Battery Technology which can result in higher capacities and a longer battery lifespan finally there have been talks about new Siri AI features powered by large language models expected in iOS 18 but it's the iPhone 16 models that would actually gain on device AI features and so just another little added bonus for those who might be upgrading to the iPhone 16 I guess as a bonus feature rumor we do have have word that the ultra model uh iPhone 16 could make an appearance in 2024 and it would be an additional fifth phone so we'd still have the 16 16 plus 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max and then this iPhone 16 Ultra added to the lineup which could feature additional camera improvements an even larger display and even a portless design but the skeptic in me is really down on that specific rumor and I think it's kind of this the the portless design part but it is something worth mentioning but of course I would love to hear from you all in the comments down below is this current early rumored features list enough for you to upgrade to next year please let me know down in those comments this has been down with Mac Rumors thanks so much for watching and I hope to see you around in the next videothe iPhone 15 it's a couple months old and it's already old
