The standard models are expected to feature a redesigned camera module with diagonally placed lenses, a new A18 chipset, and enhanced 8GB RAM. Thanks to the inclusion of the Action Button, Capture Button, and Apple Intelligence features, the standard and plus models will align closely with the pricier Pro models.
The flagship iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are anticipated to come with larger displays and a more capable chipset. Notably, the iPhone 16 Pro is speculated to inherit the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s tetraprism periscope camera with 5x optical zoom. Additionally, all four iPhone 16 models are set to launch in new colors, adding variety to your choices. If you’re interested, make sure to check out our guide on iPhone 16 colors!

Furthermore, Apple is likely to introduce stable versions of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and other operating systems, along with more details about Apple Intelligence.
