iPhone 15 vs iPhone 16
Apple Intelligence
Firstly, let’s talk about the hottest upgrade everyone has been buzzing about: Apple Intelligence. Introduced during Apple’s WWDC 2024 event, this generative AI feature has captured significant attention. However, as usual, along with the excitement, Apple has also faced some criticism. Apple Intelligence will only work on devices running on the A17 chip or higher. This means the standard iPhone 15 models won’t have access to it, but the iPhone 16 will feature it.
Redesigned camera module
According to a report by MacRumors, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will feature a redesigned camera module. Since the iPhone 11, iPhones have had a squarish camera module, but this might change with the iPhone 16. The report revealed renders of the iPhone 16 showing a vertical cylindrical camera module housing two sensors, with the flash positioned outside the module.
Change in sizes
In April, an X user named Sonny Dickson shared a picture of all four iPhone 16 models. He also mentioned the sizes of these models, noting that the iPhone 16 Pro variants are larger than the iPhone 15 Pro models. According to the leak, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature a 6.9-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.7-inch display.
Based on the information I managed to obtain, the new iPhone 16 will have a 3561 mAh battery, while the 16 plus should have a 4006 mAh battery and the 16 Pro Max, should be equipped with a 4676 mAh battery that is no longer L-shaped due to the redesign of the internal structure… pic.twitter.com/T7VuhQ6Brs
