Of course, we can question the reliability of such early information about the dimensions and weight of the new iPhones, a year before their launch in September 2024. Macrumors calls this information “preliminary” for good reason, as iPhone 16 prototypes may change several times over the next 11 to 12 months may change several times between now and 12 months, although at least the case dimensions probably won’t vary too much. Details about the iPhone 15 successors confirm some previous rumors and leaks, including the larger screens of the two Pro models, which are expected to grow from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches and from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches.
iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus
The two basic iPhones from 2024, however, will hardly change in size. Only the weight increases by 2 grams to 173 grams for the iPhone 16 and 203 grams for the iPhone 16 Plus. The currently diagonal camera duo is expected to return to the vertical layout of previous iPhone generations before the iPhone 13, and the action button will also appear on both base models of the iPhone 16 next year, replacing the mute switch there. The materials (aluminum and matt glass on the back) are unlikely to change in 2024.
iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max
The most interesting innovations concern the successors to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Specifically, 6.27-inch and 6.85-inch screens are expected, rounded up to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches. This affects the dimensions and weight of the suitcase. Compared to their predecessors, the two iPhone 16 Pros are heavier, taller and slightly wider, but not thicker. According to Macrumors sources, the specific specifications are as follows:
- iPhone 16 Pro: 149.6 x 71.45 x 8.25 mm and 194 grams, compared to 146.6 x 70.6 x 8.25 mm and 187 grams for the iPhone 15 Pro
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: 163 x 77.58 x 8.25 mm and 225 grams compared to 159.9 x 76.7 x 8.25 mm and 221 grams for the iPhone 15 Pro Max
The materials aren’t expected to change next year, so we’re keeping Grade 5 titanium for the case and the same rounded design with flat side edges. In addition to the action button, a second button is intended to make quick photography easier. Bonus info: According to Ice Universe The iPhone 16 Pro will have thin screen bezels of 1.3 to 1.4 mm.
