According to a recent rumor, Apple is purportedly planning to introduce new color options for the iPhone 16 Pro, potentially alongside the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Reportedly, these new additions will include Space Black and Rose variants, expanding the palette beyond the existing white and gray offerings.
As part of this color expansion, it’s speculated that the current Blue Titanium option available for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will be replaced in the upcoming generation. The rumored Space Black hue is anticipated to resemble the iPhone 14 Pro’s color of the same name, supplanting the Black Titanium variant.
Moreover, the Natural Titanium shade, previously referred to as gray, is expected to persist, while White Titanium will make a return in a revised form, described as more of a ‘silver white’ akin to the iPhone 14 Pro’s silver color.
While the source behind these claims has a track record of accurately predicting the launch of the purple iPhone 14 Pro color, it’s essential to exercise caution, as the accuracy of these predictions remains unconfirmed. Only time will tell whether these speculations are corroborated by subsequent rumors and leaks.
Interestingly, a recent separate rumor hinted at potential color options for the iPhone 16 Pro, suggesting Desert Titanium and Titanium Gray, which could align with the aforementioned Rose and Gray hues, respectively.

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.

The iPhone X brought about a significant transformation in Apple’s design approach by eliminating the Home button and a major portion of the top bezel, enabling the screen to expand vertically. This departure marked the end of the previous 16:9 screen aspect ratio, with 19.5:9 becoming the favored alternative. The current iPhone 14 series continues to utilize this aspect ratio, and the upcoming iPhone 15 will also follow suit. However, the subsequent iteration may deviate from this pattern.
According to analyst Ross Young, the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will adopt a taller aspect ratio, although the exact specifications (possibly 20:9 or 20.5:9) are not yet confirmed. The display sizes will slightly increase from 6.1″ and 6.7″ to 6.2X” and 6.8X” respectively.
It’s important to note that these discussions solely pertain to the Pro models. The standard iPhone variants will likely receive their respective updates with a time lag – a Dynamic Island feature this year, followed by a 120Hz refresh rate in 2025, and potentially a new aspect ratio at some point.
Based on Young’s predictions, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, succeeding the 16 series, will introduce an enhanced design for the Dynamic Island. This will involve relocating the Face ID system beneath the display, leaving only a small punch hole for the front camera. While this adjustment will allow for more vertical space, it may make accessing the Island feature more challenging.
