After many years, Apple appears to be preparing to increase the screen size of its iPhones. According to rumours, the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will have larger screens than the current iPhone 15 Pro models.
Display specifications
The iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6,27-inch screen, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have a 6,85-inch screen. This means that the two models will be approximately 0,17 and 0,75 inches larger respectively than the current models.
The new models will feature OLED displays with a resolution of 2778x1284 pixels. The refresh rate will be 120Hz, and they will also support ProMotion technology, which allows the refresh rate to adapt to the content displayed on the screen.
Comparison with previous models
The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will be the first iPhones to feature larger screens since the iPhone 6 in 2014. The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max have 6,1-inch and 6,7-inch screens respectively.
The increase in screen size will also result in a slightly taller and wider design for the new models.
A history of iPhone screen sizes
iPhone screen sizes have gradually increased in recent years. The iPhone 6 was the first iPhone with a screen larger than 4 inches. The iPhone 7 Plus was the first iPhone with a screen larger than 5 inches. The iPhone X was the first iPhone with an OLED display. The iPhone 11 Pro was the first iPhone with a ProMotion display.
The increase in screen size on the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will be a significant upgrade for Apple. It will offer a more comfortable viewing experience and open up new possibilities for developing new features and apps.
