Leak suggests iPhone 16 Pro / Max will be larger than their predecessors

According to previous rumors, the iPhone 16 Pro models could sport the narrowest bezels ever on the phone. Apart from that, now we also have more information about the dimensions of the iPhone 16 series devices.

A recent report from IT Home suggests that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be slightly larger than their predecessors. However, the thickness will remain the same. The source of the information is unofficial renders of the iPhone 16 series devices, which also include the dimensions. You can see how the dimensions are different as compared to the predecessors in the table below.

As you can see, the base iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus are basically the same in size as their predecessor. However, the camera module is redesigned which reportedly enables the phone to capture Spatial Video, like the Apple Vision Pro headset.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously noted that the iPhone 16 Pro Max may come with a longer battery life as compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. It could be due to a larger battery pack on the inside. According to a previous rumor from earlier this year, the Pro models may also come with a slightly larger 1/1.14-inch main sensor and a periscope telephoto lens. All of the above requires more internal space, which could be a reason for the size expansion of the upcoming Pro iPhone models.

In addition to the rendering, Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site) tipster “Instant Digital” shared the width of the bezels of all four iPhone 16 models. However, it’s important to note that his predictions of dimensions are slightly different than what we are seeing with the latest render. To be more specific, Instant Digital predicted the height and weight of the iPhone 16 / Plus to be 2mm smaller than the predecessor, while the latest render claims they will remain the same. That being said, both of the sources are unofficial and you should take it with a pinch of salt.
