The differences in size between the Pro models and the regular models are evident: the iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to feature a 6.9-inch screen, while the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to have a 6.3-inch screen. The iPhone 16 Plus will maintain its predecessor's screen size (6.7 inches), while the base iPhone 16 will be the smallest in the series with a 6.1-inch screen.

The two non-Pro models are expected to come with a new vertical camera design, enabling, according to rumors, spatial video recording.
