The 16 Plus will retain the same 6.7-inch screen size as its predecessor. The smallest phone in the lineup is the baseline iPhone 16 with its 6.1-inch screen. Both non-Pro 16 models will feature a vertically stacked camera design, rumored to support Spatial Video recording. All four Apple 16 series phones are expected to sport slimmer display bezels.

The Apple 16 and 16 Plus are anticipated to gain the Action Button, first seen on the iPhone 15 Pro models. Additionally, Apple may introduce a new Capture Button across the entire Apple 16 series.

It is still early, but details regarding the display specifications for next year’s iPhone series have emerged from sources within the supply chain. According to the leaked information, the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are anticipated to receive an increase in size, with displays measuring 6.27 inches and 6.86 inches, respectively, both utilizing 120Hz LTPO panels. However, the reported size of the 16 Pro Max display may raise some skepticism, so it’s advisable to approach this information cautiously.
Conversely, the situation differs for the standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus models, as they are expected to retain the same display sizes of 6.12 inches and 6.69 inches, respectively, along with a consistent 60Hz refresh rate. This aligns with insights shared by industry expert Ross Young, who suggests that the Pro Motion feature will not be introduced to the standard models until 2025.
Regarding the 2024 iPhone 16 lineup, the inclusion of Dynamic Island technology is anticipated across all models, which is not surprising. While loyal users of older iPhone models might not find the 60Hz display a significant concern, the displays on Apple’s pricier base iPhone models are starting to appear less competitive compared to flagship and midrange Android devices in the market.

As indicated by another report from The Elec, Apple is planning to extend the Dynamic Island pill-molded pattern from the iPhone 14 Pro series to all iPhone 15 models including the non-Pro iPhone 15 and 15 Plus.
Some sources say that Apple has proactively made orders to its part suppliers like Samsung Display which for turn ordered gear worth KRW 24.1 billion ($19.3 million) from the South Korean organization Philoptics. The order is allegedly for scratching hardware utilized for the creation of Dynamic Island displays.
Samsung Display is supposed to contract more organizations in the future to assist with dealing with the expanded Dynamic Island display interest from Apple. Discussing iPhone display tech, The Elec likewise says that Apple may at long last bring an Under Display (UD) Face ID for the iPhone 16 Pro series. No further subtleties were shared on how the full-screen arrangement would be executed.
More seasoned reports recommended Samsung Display might band together with OTI Lumionics which is fostering another age of UD camera with restrictive natural cathode designing material for ideal clearness over the camera and sensors.
These reports hypothesized that we could see the UD Face ID arrangement on the iPhone 15 Pro series however that appears to be far-fetched. Apple has proactively started preliminary iPhone 15 creation in China as per ongoing bits of hearsay so we’ll probably get more insights concerning them soon.
