New iPhone 16 Pro renderings reveal two major upgrades

Apple has long been rumored to be introducing a Capture button on this year's iPhones, and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has hinted that the new feature is intended to allow users to quickly shoot video clips without having to take the extra step of unlocking and opening the Camera app Gurman hinted at this

Earlier this week we saw CAD renderings of the regular iPhone 16 with the Capture button in place, and now it's the Pro model's turn

In a new post, 91mobiles has released drawings of the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro in its entirety, obtained through "industry sources" There are three things that stand out when compared to the current iPhone 15 Pro, which features heavily in lists of the best phones you can buy

The first is the presence of a capture button that appears to be on the left side of the device, below the action button While the camera function can be bound to the "action" button, iPhone 16 Pro buyers may find this a more natural position to place their finger

As for the action button, it appears to be slightly larger than the one on last year's model Perhaps this is to make it a little easier to find, whether as a replacement for the mute switch, which is sorely missed, or for other cell phone functions

The last change is perhaps the most significant: 91mobiles lists the dimensions, and it appears that the iPhone 16 Pro will have a slightly larger footprint than its predecessor

The site claims that the upcoming model will measure 1496 x 714 x 84 mm Given that the dimensions of the current model are 1466 x 706 x 825 mm, it appears to be a handset that will be larger in all directions, especially in terms of height

While a millimeter difference may not sound like much, the report notes that these minor changes, combined with Apple's thirst for ever-shrinking bezels, will see the iPhone 16 Pro achieve the long-rumored 63-inch screen size It points out that we could see This would be significantly larger than the 61 inches that the iPhone Pro screen has had since the iPhone 12 launched in 2020 (its predecessor, the iPhone 11 Pro, had a 58-inch panel)

The iPhone 16 will not be available until September However, Apple is expected to adopt artificial intelligence in its upcoming devices, and we may get a glimpse of it at the WWDC 2024 developer conference in June
