New chip and smarter software are on the cards
As September draws ever closer, we in turn get closer to the expected launch date of the rumored iPhone 16. As sure as night follows day, a next-generation iPhone will almost certainly arrive in the latter part of 2024.
And with the iPhone 16, we can expect some tweaks and potentially significant upgrades, at least going by the rumors so far and my own experience covering Apple products for the best part of a decade. At its core, the iPhone 16 is likely to be a vehicle for iOS 18 and the smart features brought with it in the form of Apple Intelligence and an overhauled Siri.
Major changes, such as a radically different design, supercharged cameras or even a 120Hz display don’t appear to be on the cards for the standard next-generation iPhone or the iPhone 16 Plus; as usual, you can expect the headline-grabbing upgrades to feature in the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Nevertheless, the iPhone 16 will still be a smartphone to watch this year, so read on for all the changes, upgrades and disappointments we expect and what we know so far.
