Has the iPhone 16 Launched?

The iPhone 16 hasn't launched yet. However, Apple is expected to announce and release the iPhone 16 lineup this fall. We predict we'll see the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models in September. Until another announcement comes, we can assume September as the release date for the new iPhone lineup.

How Much Does the iPhone 16 Cost?

The iPhone 15's price in Türkiye currently starts at 54,000 lira. So far, no price increase has occurred except for the iPhone 15 Pro Max model. In fact, we can say it's the only product in the iPhone 15 lineup to see a "price increase." Even though rising production costs pushed iPhone 15 component prices to their highest level for Apple, iPhone 16 models might see a slight increase, though prices could also stay the same.

What's the Design Like?

Apple may change the design of the base iPhone 16 model. Three different prototype models with different designs have surfaced. All three share a vertical dual-camera layout in common.

There are some differences among the three prototypes. One has an iPhone X-style camera. The other two have separate lenses similar in style to the iPhone 12. These prototype designs also feature a haptic volume button and standard mechanical volume buttons alongside a new Capture button.

These prototypes also give hints about the colors Apple will use for the base iPhone 16 model. Colors like pale yellow, pink, and black are being discussed.

While the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus appear to stay the same size as the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, the Pro models will get a bit bigger. The iPhone 16 Pro's screen will grow from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will grow from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches.

The iPhone 16 is also expected to introduce new haptic buttons.

It's also known information that the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will continue using the same 60Hz displays currently found on the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus.

What Are Its Features?

For the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, we'll see an A17 chip. However, this may not be the same as the A17 Pro chip currently found in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Apple is expected to use a lower-cost process for a standard "A17" chip that could appear in the standard iPhone 16 models.

Analyst Jeff Pu, on the other hand, believes Apple will only use the names A18 and A18 Pro for its new chips. That means all iPhone 16 models will have some variation of the A18 chip instead of the A17, which could be seen as a "previous-gen" chip.

Apple is also said to be working on a new thermal design to help with heat dissipation. The base iPhone 16 models could feature a graphene thermal system, while the iPhone 16 Pro could have a metal battery casing.

There are rumors that Apple is working on its own in-house 5G modem chips, but that won't happen this year. Instead, the iPhone 16 Pro may use Qualcomm's Snapdragon X75 modem for faster, more efficient 5G connectivity. The iPhone 16 will continue using the Qualcomm X70 chip currently found in the iPhone 15. It's also said to potentially feature Wi-Fi 7 technology, capable of speeds of at least 30 gigabits, up to 40 Gb/s.

Finally, the iPhone 16 Pro models will see improved battery life.
