iPhone 16 Pro Might have Taller Displays

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.
