At the time of writing this, we’re probably only a couple of months away from the launch of the iPhone 16 series, and as is usual with new iPhones, we’ve already seen dozens of leaks and rumors.
As such, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect from these phones, so below we’ve detailed all the likely specs for each expected model, namely the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
These predictions are based on the most credible leaks and rumors we’ve seen so far, along with educated guesses based on Apple‘s usual patterns. So, none of this is confirmed, but there’s a good chance that much of it will turn out to be true.

| iPhone 16 Specs (Rumored) | |
|---|---|
| Show: | 6.1 inch OLED |
| Resolution: | 1179 x 2556 pixels |
| Update frequency: | 60 Hz |
| Chipset: | A17 Pro or A18 |
| Rear cameras: | 48MP wide angle, 12MP ultra wide angle |
| Frontal camera: | 12MP |
| RAM: | 8 GB |
| Storage: | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB |
| Battery: | 3,561 mAh |
The iPhone 16 could have an A17 Pro chipset (like the iPhone 15 Pro) or a new A18 chipset, depending on which leaks you believe.
In recent years, Apple has equipped the standard iPhone models with the previous year’s Pro-level chipset, so if the company continues that pattern, then it’ll be the A17 Pro that we’ll see. But even if it does get a new A18, this could still be a weaker chipset than the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, as they could have an A18 Pro instead according to leaks. So whatever the case, expect the chipset here to be less powerful than the ones on the higher-end models in the iPhone 16 series.
Several leaks have said the iPhone 16 will have 8GB of RAM, so it seems almost certain that this will be the case as there are no conflicting reports. We haven’t heard much about storage, but it’s likely to be similar to the iPhone 15, with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB models, though one iPhone 16 leak suggests we could see 256GB as the base capacity.
The iPhone 16’s display likely won’t see much of an upgrade, either, with reports suggesting it will once again be 6.1 inches, likely with a 60Hz refresh rate and a resolution of around 1179 x 2556. It’s also expected to once again be OLED, though according to one report, the iPhone 16’s display could be brighter than its 2,000-nit predecessor.
We have very specific battery specs, with multiple leaks saying the iPhone 16 has a 3,561mAh battery, which would be around 6% larger than the iPhone 15’s 3,349mAh battery.
Finally, the iPhone 16 cameras are likely to remain unchanged, with the same 48MP main camera and 12MP ultra-wide camera expected last year. There’s still no word on the selfie camera, so for now we’ll assume it’ll also be 12MP like on the iPhone 15.
iPhone 16 Plus Specs Predictions

The iPhone 15 Plus (Image credit: Future | Alex Walker-Todd)Swipe to scroll horizontally
| iPhone 16 Plus Specs (Rumored) | |
|---|---|
| Show: | 6.7 inch OLED |
| Resolution: | 1290 x 2796 pixels |
| Update frequency: | 60 Hz |
| Chipset: | A17 Pro or A18 |
| Rear cameras: | 48MP wide angle, 12MP ultra wide angle |
| Frontal camera: | 12MP |
| RAM: | 8 GB |
| Storage: | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB |
| Battery: | 4.006 mAh |
The iPhone 16 Plus is likely to have many of the same specs as the iPhone 16, based on leaks and previous renders.
We then expect it to have the same chipset, either an A17 Pro or an A18, as discussed above.
It will also likely have the same amount of RAM, rumored to be 8GB, and identical storage capacities, likely 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB, although one leak suggests a starting capacity of 256GB.
The display is likely to be different from the iPhone 16, but not in most ways from the iPhone 15 Plus, so we’ll likely see a 6.7-inch 1290 x 2796 OLED display again, and unfortunately the iPhone 16 Plus will likely have a 60Hz refresh rate too, though its display could be brighter than the iPhone 15 Plus.
But sadly, multiple leaks suggest that the iPhone 16 Plus will actually have a smaller battery than its predecessor, at 4,006mAh, instead of 4,383mAh.
And as for the cameras, we’ll likely see the same cameras as last year’s iPhone 16 Plus, namely a 48MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 12MP front-facing camera.
iPhone 16 Pro Specs Predictions

| iPhone 16 Pro Specs (Rumored) | |
|---|---|
| Show: | 6.3 inch OLED |
| Resolution: | To be confirmed |
| Update frequency: | Adaptable 1-120 Hz |
| Chipset: | A18 Pro |
| Rear cameras: | 48MP Wide Angle, 48MP Ultra Wide Angle, 12MP Telephoto with 5x Optical Zoom |
| Frontal camera: | 12MP |
| RAM: | 8 GB |
| Storage: | 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB |
| Battery: | 3.355 mAh |
Apple may have quite a few upgrades planned for the iPhone 16 Pro, starting with the chipset, which is reportedly (and unsurprisingly) set to be a new A18 Pro.
However, this chipset will reportedly be paired with 8GB of RAM, just like on the iPhone 15 Pro. That’s a spec that could limit the iPhone 16 Pro’s AI capabilities.
We haven’t heard much about what storage capacities the iPhone 16 Pro might have yet, but we’re guessing they’ll be largely the same as the iPhone 15 Pro, namely 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. That said, one leak points to a maximum capacity of 2TB. It’s also possible that Apple could ditch the 128GB size, as it already did with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
As for the display, leaks suggest the iPhone 16 Pro’s screen will be slightly larger than its predecessor, at 6.3 inches, up from 6.1 inches on the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 16 Pro’s display could also be 20% brighter.
As for the battery, leaks suggest the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 3,355mAh battery, making it marginally larger than the 3,290mAh battery in the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 16 Pro could also charge faster, at 40 watts.
Finally, the iPhone 16 Pro will likely receive some camera upgrades, with leaks pointing to it getting the 12MP, 5x zoom camera already found on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The iPhone 16 Pro could also feature a new 48MP ultra-wide camera, which would be an upgrade from the 12MP ultra-wide on the current model. However, reports suggest the phone will retain the 48MP main camera and 12MP front-facing camera from its predecessor.
iPhone 16 Pro Max Specs Predictions

| iPhone 16 Pro Max Specs (Rumored) | |
|---|---|
| Show: | 6.9 inch OLED |
| Resolution: | To be confirmed |
| Update frequency: | Adaptable 1-120 Hz |
| Chipset: | A18 Pro |
| Rear cameras: | 48MP Wide Angle, 48MP Ultra Wide Angle, 12MP Telephoto with 5x Optical Zoom |
| Frontal camera: | 12MP |
| RAM: | 8 GB |
| Storage: | 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB |
| Battery: | 4.676 mAh |
The iPhone 16 Pro Max will almost certainly be the highest-spec model in the iPhone 16 line (well, unless we get an iPhone 16 Ultra anyway).
The Pro Max will reportedly be no more powerful than the iPhone 16 Pro, featuring the same A18 Pro chipset and 8GB of RAM as its smaller sibling.
As for storage, one report suggests the iPhone 16 Pro Max will max out at 2TB, up from 1TB on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. There’s no word on the other capacities, but they’re likely to be the same as last year, namely 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
We’ve also heard that the iPhone 16 Pro Max could have a massive 6.9-inch display, up from 6.7 inches on its predecessor, and as with the other iPhone 16 models, its screen could be brighter than the current phone’s.
According to multiple sources, the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s battery will also be larger. Leaks suggest it will have a 4,676mAh battery, rather than the 4,441mAh of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. As with the iPhone 16 Pro, it will also charge at 40 watts.
Finally, we have the cameras, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max is rumored to have a new “super-telephoto” camera, which could zoom far beyond the 5x zoom of the iPhone 15 Pro Max. That said, this is an old leak, and if it does happen, it could be destined for an iPhone Ultra, so it’s equally possible that the iPhone 16 Pro Max will keep its current 12MP camera with 5x zoom.
In any case, it will reportedly get a new 48MP ultra-wide camera, just like the iPhone 16 Pro, but will likely have the same 48MP main and 12MP selfie cameras as its predecessor.
