Although Apple's iPhone 16 Pro is two generations away, that hasn't stopped rumors from revealing its intricate details. Like every subsequent iPhone, the 16 Pro will bring a host of changes and improvements. And among them, the aspect ratio will be the most prominent.
Renowned Apple analyst Ross Young takes a look at what we can expect from this highly anticipated device and how it will affect next year's iPhone 17 models.
According to Young, a noticeable change in the horizon is a change in aspect ratio. The 19.5:9 aspect ratio of the iPhone 14 line is expected to remain the same in this year's iPhone 15 models. However, the iPhone 16 Pro is said to have a larger aspect ratio.
As the aspect ratio gets bigger and not wider, the screen size of the new iPhone models gradually increases. The current benchmarks of 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches are expected to grow to 6.27 inches and 6.86 inches respectively.
This corresponds to an increase of 2.5% in both display configurations. The new aspect ratio promises to bring media content to cinematic proportions. With a longer canvas for visual storytelling, users can delve deeper into short vertical content like social media feeds and web browsing.
As these rumors continue to circulate, tech enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the unveiling of the iPhone 16 Pro to see how Apple's latest innovation will shape the future of mobile technology. We'll learn more about the upcoming devices as the rumors grow.
