The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max were consistently reported to ship with bigger displays when compared to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, with the latest render gallery outlining the cosmetic changes arriving to this year’s flagship lineup. Additionally, Apple may reduce the size of the Dynamic Island, increasing the screen-to-body ratio of both ‘Pro’ models, along with other changes, so let us discuss in detail while also showing a few renders based on a bevy of leaks and rumors.
The YouTube channel AppleTrack has provided a detailed rundown of the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, starting with the displays. After several years, Apple will finally be upsizing the panels of both models, going from a 6.1-inch screen size on the iPhone 15 Pro to a 6.3-inch one on the iPhone 16 Pro. With the iPhone 16 Pro Max, you are expected to see a 6.9-inch display, up from 6.7 inches on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
As the majority of you know, in addition to getting that increased screen real estate, the biggest advantage of a larger smartphone is that there is ample space to incorporate a bigger battery. Unfortunately, that might not be the case here, at least for the iPhone 16 Pro, as a prototype’s battery was listed with a 3,355mAh capacity, marking a modicum 2.48 percent increase over the iPhone 15 Pro’s 3,274mAh cell. Hopefully, these specifications will change because it is high time Apple maintains its pace with its competitors in using bigger batteries.
One of the most significant changes would be reducing the size of the Dynamic Island. In one of the renders, the iPhone 16 Pro is shown to feature a front-facing punch-hole cutout, and an earlier rumor even claimed that Apple was testing out one model with this particular design. It is entirely possible for the Dynamic Island to contract into a punch-hole cutout, but looking at Apple’s iPhone launch history, the company typically sticks with the same design for a few years before finally offering the global market something different.
There is also said to be a new capture button for video-capturing purposes. As for the cameras, both ‘Pro’ models arriving later this year are rumored to feature a 5x tetraprism optical zoom camera. Last year, just the iPhone 15 Pro Max was treated to this hardware, so upon the arrival of the newer handsets, consumers will be delighted to upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro without having to spend on the top-tier flagship. As for the chipset, AppleTrack believes that the ‘Pro’ moniker will be retained this year, with the new SoC being called the A18 Pro.
Earlier, leaked iOS 18 code revealed that Apple would not use the A17 Pro in the cheaper iPhone 16 models, but launch the A18 instead. Whether the A18 is just a

Today, Apple has released the final version of its highly anticipated iOS 17.3 and iPadOS 17.3 updates. The latest update comes a week after the company seeded the release candidate build to developers for testing purposes. iOS 17.3 is a major update, considering the changes it will bring to the platform besides bug fixes and performance enhancements.
iOS 17 launched with a fair share of bugs and issues that prolonged months after its release alongside the iPhone 15 lineup. While the company managed to fix some of the crucial bugs, some issues exist to this day, almost five months later. The company is working with developers to fix the iPhone's ongoing battery drain and connectivity issues. iOS 17.3 update will be released with a potential fix for the iPhone's connectivity issues and a significant feature that protects the iPhone after it is stolen.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra might have retained the same 5,000mAh battery capacity as the Galaxy S23 Ultra from last year, but the chipset improvements, coupled with the software optimizations, would have helped Samsung’s flagship beat the competition in the latest battery drain test. One YouTuber placed four premium handsets next to each other to perform the benchmark, and even the iPhone 15 Pro Max with its 3nm A17 Pro found it difficult to overtake its newest rival in the flagship space.
Apple Inc.'s long-awaited Vision Pro mixed-reality headset finally became available for preorders on Friday, giving the company its first real taste of consumer demand for the $3,499 device.

The base model includes 256 gigabytes of storage. The company also said it would sell a carrying case for $199 and additional batteries for $199, while extra bands will cost $99 a piece.
