Some people’siPhone 15models have only just arrived, but theApplerumour factory waits for nobody – and that means theiPhone 16rumours are already in production. So far the rumours we’re hearing are focusing on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which makes sense as it’s the Pro and Pro Max where Apple now makes the most significant improvements in each new model year.

So what can we expect from Apple’sbest phonesin 2024? According to two separate reports, theiPhone16’s pricier variants could be getting some significant changes in terms of their design and their cameras.

What’s rumoured for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max?

The new button, currently named the “capture button”, is another solid state button but this one will apparently be on the other side of the frame, just under the sleep/wake button. Capture suggests that it’s going to be a camera button, but the leaker is unclear what else the button might be designed to do. This ties in nicely with arumour last monthof a new capacitive button.

Predicting a better camera for the iPhone 16 Pro Max is a pretty safe bet, and another rumour suggests just that: according to trade title Economic Daily News, Apple is planning to use acrylic moulded lenses in the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Those lenses are slimmer than the current ones, which means that Apple could deliver increased optical zoom without making the camera bump more massive. The report doesn’t give any more details but previous rumours have suggested a “super telephoto” lens with possibly double-digit optical zoom.

We’re still very early in the iPhone 16 product cycle, so even if these reports are 100% accurate there’s no guarantee that Apple won’t change its mind between now and the phone entering production. But they’re an interesting indication of where Apple may be planning to take next year’s iPhones.
