Apple will equip the iPhone 16 Pro series with larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screens
Apple is poised to unveil its next-generation iPhone 15 series this autumn, with the most significant alteration likely being the adoption of a USB-C port in lieu of the Lightning port that has been in use for a decade. Furthermore, premium models will incorporate additional exclusive features to differentiate themselves from other devices and justify higher price points, such as the integration of the new A17 Bionic chipset, manufactured using TSMC’s 3nm process, and superior camera modules.
In recent years, Apple appears to have shifted its focus to high-end models, striving for more distinctive designs. The forthcoming iPhone 16 Pro series is no exception. According to Wccftech, next year’s iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature larger displays, measuring approximately 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively. Reportedly, the new screen sizes can be determined with precision down to two decimal places.
Apple aims to increase the display area of the iPhone 15 Pro series by reducing the bezel dimensions while maintaining the overall dimensions unchanged, resulting in narrower bezels. The existing iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are equipped with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays. Although information about the screen sizes of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is not yet available, rumors suggest they will remain unchanged. The situation regarding the standard iPhone 15/16 models remains unclear.
As the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are more than a year away from release, Apple has ample time to modify the design of the devices, and no definitive answers exist at present. If issues related to production, cost, or supply chain arise and fail to align with Apple’s plans, the company may abandon its plans to increase display sizes.
