The iPhone 16 series is expected to feature larger displays on the Pro models (from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches on the Pro and from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches on the Pro Max), a dedicated camera button, and new AI features in iOS 18.1. While major hardware changes might not arrive until next year, the iPhone 16 will offer a significant upgrade over its predecessor.
