The latest iPhone 16 series was just announced today and is expected to be released on September 20th. However, multiple international media outlets have already leaked information suggesting that next year's iPhone 17 will undergo a more comprehensive overhaul, with significant upgrades in design, camera, and software. Some experts are even recommending skipping the iPhone 16 and waiting for the iPhone 17.
According to Mashable, the tech website MacRumors claims that the iPhone 17 will be "the biggest update in recent years," with three highly credible reasons that might make users consider skipping the iPhone 16 and going straight for the iPhone 17. First, analysts Jeff Pu and Ross Young have pointed out that Apple plans to introduce a "Slim" series, which will replace the "Plus" models with thinner and lighter devices.
Second, there is a major leap in camera resolution. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the iPhone 17 will feature a 24-megapixel front camera. The last time Apple updated its camera resolution was with the iPhone 11, so this significant upgrade would be exciting. However, it remains unclear whether this camera upgrade will be across all iPhone 17 models or just select ones.
Third, the camera module will be repositioned. Currently, iPhone cameras are located in the upper-left corner, but rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Slim will move the camera to the top-center, likely with just a single wide-angle lens. Additionally, the design of the Dynamic Island will also undergo adjustments.
Regarding AI applications, ZDNET notes that while the iPhone 16's hardware is impressive, the maturity of Apple Intelligence still has room for improvement. It’s rumored that the iPhone 17 Pro will see a RAM upgrade from 8GB in the iPhone 16 Pro to 12GB. For users with an iPhone 12 or older, or those in urgent need of a new phone, upgrading to the iPhone 16 might make sense. However, experts strongly advise iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 users to wait for the iPhone 17.
For Apple fans who have held off upgrading in recent years, the iPhone 16 is still something to look forward to. Many tech enthusiasts were invited to the Apple event, including Joeman, a YouTuber with over 2.59 million subscribers. He quickly shared an unboxing video of the new colors, praising the Pro series' elegant "Desert Titanium" finish. Joeman also introduced the five color options for the standard iPhone 16 series and discussed new hardware features.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus come in five colors. Joeman noted that the most noticeable change in the standard series is the vertical camera arrangement. The new "Lakeside Green" has a bluish-green hue, while "Deep Sea Blue" has hints of purple. The new pink is matte and highly saturated, with a "Barbie pink" style. The black is also matte, but Joeman’s favorite is the classic Apple white, which he praised as timeless and elegant.
The Pro series includes the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, available in black, white, gray
