The upcoming iPhone 16 lineup might see a significant shift in Apple’s strategy for its standard models. Rumors suggest the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus could receive hardware upgrades previously reserved for their Pro counterparts, possibly narrowing the performance and feature gap.

Tech analyst Jeff Pu shared some insights about these changes in a recent investor note. Pu suggests that all iPhone 16 models will have 8GB of RAM.

This is an upgrade for the standard models since the current iPhone 15 and 15 Plus only have 6GB, which means the new phones could handle multiple tasks and demanding apps better.

The analyst also expects the base iPhones to come with Wi-Fi 6E support which uses 6GHz frequency for faster download and upload speeds, though a compatible router would be necessary. Right now, only the iPhone 15 Pro models have this feature.

Another interesting change might be in the camera design. Pu says Apple is testing a new layout for the cameras, similar to the iPhone 12, moving away from the diagonal design seen in recent models.

We’ve already talked about these possible changes in a previous report, which included early renders of the new phones. Pu’s information seems to match what we knew before.

These changes would make the standard iPhone 16 models a lot more like the Pro versions. The Pro models will probably still have some unique features, but the difference between them might not be as big.

However, remember that all of this is still just speculation. Apple’s final plans for the iPhone 16 could change before they officially announce it later this year. So, while these updates sound great, it’s best to take them with a pinch of salt.
