Many Apple enthusiasts await the release of new iPhones each year. September is when the company typically releases its new lineup of smartphones, which consists of four models: standard, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max. However, there are now rumours circulating that Apple may choose to release up to five models in its upcoming iPhone 16 series this year.
On X (formerly Twitter), tipster Majin Bu hinted that two more iPhone 16 SE models might be released in 2024. Along with possible pricing and other details, the referenced source has also released a few of the schematics for the upcoming 2024 iPhones. Based on the leak, this is all the information we have.
Apple to launch 5 iPhones this year
Leaked schematics suggest that the next iPhone 16 series may include five different models. Apple may include the iPhone SE series in this year’s flagship lineup in order to accomplish this. The renders show different camera setups for each model; the iPhone 16 SE and iPhone 16 Plus SE, for example, have a single pill-shaped rear camera arrangement that is similar to the iPhone X.
On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have a triple rear camera setup, while the standard iPhone 16 has a dual rear camera unit. In contrast to the square-shaped camera bump of the current iPhone 15 series, these designs, which feature vertical camera arrangements with pill-shaped camera bumps, are consistent with earlier leaks.
Display
There have been rumours that the iPhone 16 SE will have a 6.1-inch screen with a refresh rate of 90Hz, while the iPhone 16 Plus SE will likely have a larger 6.7-inch screen with a 60Hz refresh rate. Notably, there are rumours that both models come with the Dynamic Island feature. There is conjecture that the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models will have 6.3-inch screens with a refresh rate of 120Hz. A larger 6.9-inch display with a refresh rate of 120Hz is anticipated for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Processor
In a comment on X, the tipster also revealed possible iPhone 16 series pricing information. The iPhone 16 SE Plus may retail for $799 (roughly Rs 66,000) for the 256GB model, while the iPhone 16 SE may begin at $699 (about Rs 58,000) for the 128GB model, according to the leaks.
The 256GB model of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to retail for roughly Rs 91,000 and $999, respectively, while the base iPhone 16 with 256GB storage is expected to retail for $699.
Users are advised to treat all of this information with caution as it is not official. It is still quite far off, but Apple is expected to reveal its 2024 iPhones in September of this year. In the days leading up to the launch, there will be a lot more leaks. For all the latest information, keep checking back with India Today Tech.
