iPhone 16 and 16 Pro: Preliminary Weights and Dimensions

The iPhone 16 should be made more climate-friendly, otherwise Mother Nature will come and hit Timmy on his fingers

The plans for locally collected, strictly vegan, composted materials have been put in place. The project's code name is Chewy Pretzel. The initial research into this material indicates that it's going to attract bees, which is allegedly Apple's secret plan to restore the bee populations around the world.

Obviously, this will lead to dramatically lower sales and Apple stores turning into giant, urban bee hives, which is part of another even more secretive plan code-named "No Bee Left Behind" to turn Apple into the largest honey-producing company the world has ever seen.

Well, I will try to interpret this positively and say: they are making room for an iPhone Pro Mini

I would do morally questionable things for an iPhone Pro Mini

This image says the same thing, though: Too big.

Fingers crossed that we see the 16 pro max in a 6.9 inch screen 👍

We don’t need any larger phones.

We need a larger heatsink.

We need a larger heatsink.

Someone is working on a quantum-nano, cooling chamber. I can feel the cool breeze already.

Feels like a pretty lame update for the Pro models. Essentially a little taller. You aren't going to notice a less than 1mm increase in width.

The non-Pro models are going to be a complete bore. They won't be interesting until they get LTPO displays in 2017.

MacRumors has obtained preliminary information on the weights and dimensions planned for the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The information corroborates previous reports suggesting that the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will feature larger displays.

iPhone 16 and 16 Plus

Current information suggests that the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will maintain the same dimensions as the current iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, with the only difference being an increase in weight of around 2 grams for both models – 173g for the iPhone 16, and 203g for iPhone 16 Plus. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will be available in the same 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch display sizes as their predecessors.

Regardless of the dimensions, however, the base model iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are expected to feature a redesigned camera bump, with a vertical camera arrangement similar to the iPhone 12. They are also likely to include a capacitive Action button and potentially even an all-new capacitive "Capture Button."

In terms of materials, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus should use the same type of aluminum found on the iPhone 15 chassis, and will also feature matte back glass. The choice of materials is unlikely to have any significant impact on the weight of the devices, with the increase being a consequence of minor design changes.

iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature an increase in display size compared to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, measuring roughly 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively. To be more precise, the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.27-inch display (159.31 mm), while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature a 6.85-inch (174.06 mm) panel.

This represents a noticeable increase of 0.2 inches for both models. As a result, the dimensions of the device as a whole will increase. The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will be slightly taller than their predecessors, while also being somewhat wider. Interestingly, the width of both devices appears to align with their respective iPhone 14-series counterparts, the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.

iPhone 16 Pro

	iPhone 16 Pro	iPhone 15 Pro
Thickness	8.25 mm	8.25 mm
Height	149.6 mm	146.6 mm
Width	71.45 mm	70.60 mm
Display	6.3" (159.31 mm)	6.1" (155.38 mm)
Weight	194 grams	187 grams

iPhone 16 Pro Max

	iPhone 16 Pro Max	iPhone 15 Pro Max
Thickness	8.25 mm	8.25 mm
Height	163.0 mm	159.9 mm
Width	77.58 mm	76.70 mm
Display	6.9" (174.06 mm)	6.7" (169.98 mm)
Weight	225 grams	221 grams

As far as materials are concerned, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to maintain the same Grade 5 Titanium used on the iPhone 15 Pro, with the same brushed finish and curved design. Similar to the base model iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Pro is also expected to feature a slightly larger Action Button, and an entirely new capacitive "Capture Button."

It's worth emphasizing that the information presented here is remarkably early. The iPhone 16 lineup is almost a whole year away, and the design is far from being finalized. While changes throughout development are always possible, significant deviations from the dimensions and weights we've listed are unlikely, and the information we've provided represents our best insight into the overall size of the iPhone 16 lineup.

If it looks the same it’s an instant no. Apple, we’re tired of buying the same looking phone. Innovate. PLEASE.

 

[JosephAW]

Maybe Apple was surprised us and release the iPhone 16 in January

 

[Kazgarth]

I'm 100% upgrading if the Pro Max gets larger display next year.

 

[Dobiewonkanobie]

iPhone 15 isn’t even done rolling out and we’re already seeing articles about 16? Yes I get it that technology continuously advances, but how about we take time to enjoy what we have now for a while before looking forward to the next model year? Isn’t speculation on what is a year away a little early?

Um, maybe don't go to a website with "rumors" in the name if it matters that much to you. If they didn't post these kinds of things they wouldn't be doing their job.

I'm 100% upgrading if the Pro Max gets larger display next year.

Based on the current information, this would be the difference in display size:

 

[Marty80]

I am so stocked bring on the iphone 16 ultra, its time to update my aging 12 pro max relic.

However I am not sure, if I am able to embrace the colour choices, the dynamic island, and titanium frame, which seems to age not very well.

Maybe the 16’s slight increase in weight, might resolve the 15’s heating issues.

Would you please add one more frame for comparison to S23 Ultra? Thank you.

Would you please add one more frame for comparison to S23 Ultra? Thank you.

I'm too lazy to redo the calculations and research the exact S23 Ultra size, but it should be roughly the same as the 16 Pro Max, based on this: https://www.phonearena.com/phones/s...ra,Apple-iPhone-15-Pro-Max/phones/12002,11930

Anyone else slightly confused at the very modest increases in weight for the Pro models? I really have a hard time believing that the Pro Max is going to have a noticeably larger display and only increase in weight by 4g? That's almost nothing.

I really hope this doesn't come at the expense of battery life. I REALLY want great battery life (from a big battery, not "efficiency" that never lasts longer than a couple months) on the 16 Pro Max.

I DO appreciate the weight savings the 15 Pro/Max brings, but battery life is more important. I can use my 240g 13 Pro Max just fine so getting a little closer to that (but with the weight going to battery life instead of stainless steel) would be fine by me.

Maybe the rumored stacked battery tech is allowing this weight savings?

 

[contacos]

They should finally show everyone already on the market how a Fold is really done! But I guess it would eat into their iPad market even more

 

[Coby1man]

16 Mini please.

 

[LedRush]

I just hope the Pro and Pro Max have the same features and tech so I can get the smaller one, which is still too big. I wouldn’t mind a focus on increasing battery life, but apparently I’m virtually alone on that one.

 

[Konrad]

But, will it have a sim tray? Or the US carriers did not allow it and Timmy needed yet few more cents from them?

 

[bLackjackj]

The iPhone 16 lineup is almost a whole year away, and the design is far from being finalized.

Thats completely incorrect. Apple would absolutely know the actual design by now. In fact that would be working on the re-tooling design. Manufacturing is only 8 months away. The design is finalised.

 

[svish]

Good to hear that the capacitive buttons will be featured on all models. Interesting to hear about changes to the camera layout for the non Pro models.
