The Real Picture of iPhone 16 Is Here! Will The Whole Series Be Upgraded to 40W Fast Charging?

2024-07-19 The real picture of iPhone 16 is here! Will the whole series be upgraded to 40W fast charging?

Mr. Li of Meilan revealed on Weibo that the charging power of iPhone 16 will be increased to 40W.

According to mainstream news, this year's iPhone 16 series will still consist of four models.

They are iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.



Among them, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus rear camera will adopt a vertical design so that spatial video shooting will be possible.

The iPhone 16 Pro series models are expected to bring larger screen size, narrower screen borders, and the debut of the shooting button.



Body size, the body size of the iPhone 16 series, will usher in major changes. The screen size of iPhone 16/iPhone 16 Plus is the same as the previous generation, 6.1 inches/6.7 inches respectively. The screen size of iPhone 16 Pro/iPhone 16 Pro Max will be increased to 6.3 inches/6.9 inches. There is no change in width and thickness, and the main increase is the height of the fuselage.

Correspondingly, because the screen has become larger, the weight has also increased.

Display material, according to The Elec, Apple plans to use a new OLED material on the iPhone 16. The new OLED panel uses "microlens" technology, which can reduce power consumption while maintaining high brightness compared to traditional OLED panels, so it is more energy-efficient.



In terms of imaging, Apple hopes that the iPhone camera can be linked with the Vision Pro headset, allowing the iPhone 16 series to support spatial video shooting and jointly build the Vision Pro video ecosystem.

Therefore, the camera design of iPhone 16 has also ushered in major adjustments. According to the prototype renderings revealed by the supply chain, the camera arrangement of the standard version of iPhone 16 will be changed from a diagonal layout to a vertical layout, similar to the camera in iPhone 12.



The chip aspect is more critical. As we all know, the TSMC process used by A17 Pro is not ideal. Because the density is too aggressive, the chip energy efficiency has not opened up a gap with the 4nm process, and the low yield leads to high costs.

RAM, flash memory RAM, and flash memory capacity are too low, which is the eternal pain of Apple fans. The standard version of iPhone 15 has only 6GB RAM and 128GB flash memory. I don’t know what Apple thinks, but anyone who uses iPhone as a main machine should know that 128GB flash memory is not enough.

The good news is that according to the revelations of the US media, the next generation iPhone 16 will start with 8GB RAM + 256GB for the whole series, so there is no need to worry about whether to buy the beggar version.

The 40W fast charge we mentioned at the beginning is very likely to be configured on the iPhone 16.



The iPhone 15 model supports 27W wired charging and 15W MagSafe wireless charging. In this comparison, the increase in charging power this time is very large.

The reason for increasing the charging power of the iPhone may also be related to the increase in battery capacity. According to previous leaks, the battery capacity information of the four iPhone 16 models is as follows:

iPhone 16: 3561mAh

iPhone 16 Plus: 4006mAh

iPhone 16 Pro: 3355mAh

iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4676mAh

For comparison, we can look at the battery capacity of the current four iPhone 15 models:

iPhone 15: 3349mAh

iPhone 15 Plus: 4383mAh

iPhone 15 Pro: 3274mAh

iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4422mAh

It can be seen that except for the iPhone 16 Plus, the battery capacity of the other three iPhones has increased. Therefore, Apple will improve the problem of increased charging time caused by increased battery capacity by providing charging power.

In addition, Bloomberg reported yesterday that Apple has informed its suppliers and partners that in the second half of 2024, the shipment target for the iPhone 16 series models will increase by 10% compared with the iPhone 15 series.



In the second half of last year, Apple shipped about 81 million iPhone 15s. This means that the shipment of iPhone 16 will exceed 90 million units at least.

Bloomberg also mentioned that one of the important reasons why Apple is so optimistic about the shipment of iPhone 16 is that Apple Intelligence introduced in the iOS 18 system can greatly enhance the competitiveness of the product, thereby stimulating users' upgrade needs and desire to buy.
