The Next Frontier: Exploring the iPhone 16 & Its Evolution

There are nearly 7 billion smartphone users worldwide, and iPhones continuously rank as the highest-selling cell phone year after year. In the U.S. alone, 61% of consumers use an iPhone. Since 2013, iPhones have experienced a 230% increase in market share.

So, it comes as no surprise that the rumor mill begins churning shortly after a new iPhone is released. In this article, the tech experts at TVCMALL have the word on the street about what to expect from the iPhone 16. But first, let’s dive into the iPhone's meteoric rise as the world’s most popular smartphone.

 

Evolution of the iPhone

According to Demand Sage, there were 60 million iPhones in 2010. In 2024, there will be 1.56 billion, including 69 million iPhone 15 devices. Apple transformed the iPhone into a tech icon thanks to innovation and brand reputation.

First, nothing beats the iPhone user experience. iPhones are known for being intuitive and easy to use. Android phones have clunky processes with cavernous menus. The iPhone, on the other hand, takes the user on the shortest route to accomplish any task. What takes several swipes and taps on an Android only takes one or two on an iPhone.

Apple has mastered the art of brand reputation. With thematic events and sleek, all-white packaging, Apple hasn’t just created an innovative smartphone; they’ve created an iPhone experience. So, it’s no wonder the anticipation for the next iPhone begins building almost immediately following every iPhone roll-out.

 

iPhone 16 Release Date

Apple fans have plenty of questions about Apple’s newest flagship, especially, “When is the iPhone 16 coming out?” We expect Apple to follow tradition and set an iPhone 16 release date sometime in September 2024. Until then, we have plenty of reliable rumors to wet your Apple appetite.

 

iPhone 16 Features

We anticipate the iPhone Pro models will go through a growth spurt, with the Pro and Pro Max versions topping out at 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively. Some analysts also expect the new Pro models will have a slightly larger iPhone screen.

Apple engineers are hard at work designing new A-series chips for the iPhone 16. However, there’s very little information about what we can expect from the new chips. Also, the iPhone 16 Pro models may have the faster Snapdragon x75 modem, which would allow for faster downloads.

Apple Vision Pro, the state-of-the-art VR/AR headset Apple introduced earlier this year, will get a boost from the iPhone 16 lineup. With lenses placed vertically, rather than horizontally, we expect the new iPhone 16 will be able to record spatial video that can be viewed with the Vision Pro. But that’s not the only update to the iPhone 16 lineup’s camera.

We have also heard rumors of a Capture Button on the iPhone 16 that will act like the shutter button of a dedicated camera. Rumor has it that the Capture Button will be able to detect pressure to first focus, then capture the image.

 

iPhone 15 vs. iPhone 16

If you’re considering upgrading, you’re probably wondering about the differences between iPhone 15 vs. iPhone 16.

While the Pro and Pro Max versions of the iPhone 16 will be larger, the standard iPhone 16 will be the same size as the iPhone 15. Also, the iPhone 15 Pro rolled out a programmable action button to replace the mute switch. Now it seems Apple is extending the action button for all iPhone 16 models.

Many users complained about the iPhone 15 overheating. Apple has been working to solve the problem with features that distribute heat more effectively in the iPhone 16.

So far, it appears the camera will be the same on the iPhone 15 vs. iPhone16. As a reminder, the iPhone 15 comes with a 48MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide front camera. However, photography enthusiasts can look forward to a sensor that is physically larger and able to capture more detail on the iPhone 16.
