The 2024 iPhone model is called the iPhone 16. It is anticipated to include better processors, a significant screen improvement, and more.
When Is the iPhone 16 Coming Out?
Although the iPhone 16’s debut date is unknown, it will probably occur in the fall of 2024. Apple releases the iPhone on a fairly regular schedule:
September 22, 2023: iPhone 15 series
September 16, 2022: iPhone 14 series
September 24, 2021: iPhone 13 series
With all in mind, a mid-September to early-October 2024 release window for the iPhone 16 seems realistic. That will probably be a few weeks before the phone is announced.
Estimated Release Date
It appears that a September 2024 release date is certain.
Price rumors for the iPhone 16
Apple keeps the price of new iPhones consistent, much like it does with release dates. Expect the pricing of the iPhone 16 to be extremely close to, if not exactly the same as, that of the previous versions, even if nothing has been confirmed. The base model of the previous three iPhones was released for the following price:
iPhone 15 with 128GB: $799
iPhone 14 with 128GB : $799
iPhone 13 with 128GB : $799
Therefore, the price of the iPhone 16 may vary slightly, but it’s safe to assume that it will start at about $799, with the price increasing with screen size and storage. It goes without saying that the Pro version will cost more.

iPhone 16 Features & Specifications
There are rumors that the iPhone 16 will include faster CPUs, larger screens, better cameras, and other enhancements. The following is an overview of the rumors:
Every model has an always-on ProMotion screen with a 1Hz screen refresh rate.
improved protection against screen scratches
Face ID under the screen, Apple A18 processor, Wi-Fi 7 chip
24 megapixels for selfies and a 48 megapixel telephoto lens

bigger phones in terms of size
Additional AI functionalities.
Display
Three significant improvements are allegedly coming to the iPhone 16 series screen.
First, a Korean report that the iPhone 16 will have Always-On 120Hz ProMotion screens on all versions is cited by Mashable and other sources. These days, Apple’s more expensive Pro models are the only ones with Always-On ProMotion screens. ProMotion, which debuted on the 2017 iPad Pro, enhances the fluidity of video playback and scrolling.
This revolutionary panel might be able to reduce its refresh rate from 120Hz to 1Hz, according to TechRadar. When displaying static material, such as when using the Always-On screen option or StandBy, this would enable the phone to conserve a substantial amount of battery life.
Last but not least, a Chinese report obtained by MacRumors claims that the screen of the iPhone 16 would employ a new “super-hard anti-reflective layer” in place of the existing ceramic shield technology to guard against scratches and screen damage.
Face Recognition
According to Ross Young, an industry researcher at Display Supply Chain Consultants, Face ID will see a significant shift with the iPhone 16 Pro models: the Face ID will be embedded beneath the screen rather than utilizing a camera notch at the top. Moving the Face ID sensors beneath the screen would be a step toward eliminating the notch completely and having an all-screen front on a future iPhone model, even though the selfie camera cutout would remain.
Chips and Processor
Every year, Apple releases a new processor designed to run the iPhone. Anticipate the iPhone 16 series to be centered around the as-yet-unveiled Apple A18 chipset, based on the previous evolution of those chips.
Furthermore, according to HotHardware, the iPhone 16 will have an Apple-designed Wi-Fi chip that supports Wi-Fi 7, enabling simultaneous usage of the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz Wi-Fi bands.
Snapshot
At least three significant enhancements to the iPhone 16 series cameras are rumored.
Firstly, MacRumors reports that the phone’s telephoto camera on the back has better resolution. That website claims that the iPhone 15’s telephoto camera will increase to 48 megapixels from 12 megapixels. For the time being, this enhancement is only anticipated for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Furthermore, according to MacRumors, the front-facing selfie camera on iPhone 16 models should have a resolution of 24 megapixels, as opposed to the iPhone 15’s 12 megapixels.
Last but not least, renowned Apple analyst Kuo Ming-Chi predicts that the iPhone 17’s camera lenses will be constructed with six elements, as opposed to the current models’ five, which will enhance image quality, particularly in low light.
Dimensions of the Phone
Although it’s not a widely circulated rumor, HotHardware claims that the iPhone 16 might have a different aspect ratio—19.6:9—and grow taller and thinner than the current iPhone.
AI
Although there aren’t any concrete rumors yet regarding the iPhone 16’s AI capabilities, it is a given that both the device and its iOS version will come with a ton of new AI features. What they are will depend on what features make their debut with the iPhone 16/iOS 18 in 2024, as well as how the quickly advancing field of artificial intelligence develops. However, fresh advancements in AI are expected.
