Apple’s next-generation iPhone 16 series is expected to launch in September month this year. The tech giant generally launches four models in the iPhone series, which are the base variant, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max. However, rumours about the iPhone 16 Series have suggested that the upcoming Apple iPhone lineup might include as many as 5 models this year.
This information has been revealed via leaked schematics about the upcoming 2024 iPhones. Tipster Majin Bu shared on an X (previously Twitter) post that we could see two new iPhone 16 SE models too in 2024. The cited source has also shared some of the schematics of the upcoming 2024 iPhones, potential prices, and more.
According to leaked schematics, the upcoming iPhone 16 series might introduce five distinct models. This might be possible if Apple integrates the iPhone SE line into the iPhone 16 lineup. The renders listed show five iPhones with different camera configurations. The renders for the iPhone 16 SE and iPhone 16 Plus SE were seen sporting a single pill-shaped rear camera layout like the iPhone X. Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 16 sports a dual rear camera unit, and the Pro models – iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature a triple rear camera setup.
The same vertical camera arrangements with pill-shaped camera bumps designs were shown in the previous leaks, which means Apple might not adapt the square-shaped camera bump of the current iPhone 15 series for the Next-gen iPhones.
Both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro will likely feature a 6.3-inch screen equipped with a 120Hz refresh rate, and the Pro Max model is rumoured to have a bigger 6.9-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
The iPhone 16 SE is tipped to feature a 6.1-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate, and the iPhone 16 Plus SE might be equipped with a larger 6.7-inch screen with a refresh rate of up to 60Hz. Both the iPhone 16 SE and Plus SE models are expected to have Dynamic Island feature.
Apart from the specifications of the iPhone 16 series models, the tipster also revealed the price of the phones. As per the tipster, the iPhone 16 SE price might start at $699 (around Rs 58,000) for the 128GB model, while the iPhone 16 SE Plus costs could be around $799 (roughly Rs 66,000) for the 256GB variant.
Meanwhile, the vanilla iPhone 16 with 256GB storage is tipped to have a price tag of $699, while the 256GB versions of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are rumored to cost $999 (around Rs 83,000) and $1099 (around Rs 91,000), respectively.
