iPhone 15 Pro.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Weve made a big song and dance about the rumored upgrades coming to the
iPhone 15 Pro , but new intelligence suggests prospective buyers may actually be better off waiting for the iPhone 16 Pro, instead.

While Apples next Pro-level iPhone is expected to feature a super-fast A17 chip and much thinner bezels than the iPhone 14 Pro , analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the iPhone 16 Pro will get a periscope lens and a larger
display arguably two more substantial upgrades.

In other words, the iPhone 16 Pro could be a smaller (and potentially
cheaper) version of the much-rumored iPhone 15 Ultra , which is expected to arrive this year in place of an iPhone 15 Pro Max.

As Kuo notes, the Ultra is rumored to get a periscope lens in 2023 owing to its superior screen size to the iPhone 15 Pro. We expect the upcoming devices to measure 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, respectively, but bumping up that 6.1-inch figure for the iPhone 16 Pro in 2024 would allow Apple to house a periscope lens on the rear of the device.

Kuos comments follow previous rumors hinting that the iPhone 16 Pro will hide its Face ID and front-facing camera components under its screen , much like how many of the best Android phones now have under-display fingerprint scanners. This upgrade would presumably arrive in the form of an improved Dynamic Island , the fancy digital cutout Apple introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro.

Whats more, both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Ultra were widely rumored to get solid-state volume and power buttons , but Apple analysts now predict
that these buttons will arrive with the iPhone 16 line , instead.

Solid-state buttons use haptic vibrations to simulate the sensation of being touched, despite not actually moving, however Apple reportedly needs more
time to develop the haptic engines required to power this new technology.

If these solid-state buttons do indeed arrive with the iPhone 16 Pro, then, theyre yet another reason why Apples 2024 Pro-level iPhone might be worth waiting for especially since the iPhone 15 Pro could be the most expensive Pro-level iPhone ever .
