New iPhones with Same Design
The new iPhones, including the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, all feature the same design. This is in contrast to the iPhone 14 models, which felt dated in 2022.
iPhone 16 and 16 Pro Design
The iPhone 16 and 16 Pro variants are expected to have the same design as the iPhone 15 series. However, there may be slight size differences, with the 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max potentially being slightly larger than their predecessors.
Rumors of a Hole-Punch Design
There have been rumors that Apple is testing a new hole-punch design for the iPhone 16 Pro. However, experts believe that this design update may not happen so soon, as Apple would need to ensure that Face ID components can be placed under the screen.
Android vs. iPhone Design
While many Android flagship phones feature hole-punch designs, this is because they lack 3D face recognition support, which is a key feature of iPhones. Android phones have not adopted under-display camera technology due to maturity concerns.
Slow Transition to All-Screen iPhones
Apple is expected to gradually move towards all-screen iPhones, but it will take time. The company has made incremental changes in design, such as keeping the iPhone X notch and then transitioning to the pill-shape Dynamic Island.
Hole-Punch Design in the Future
According to display analyst Ross Young, the iPhone 17 Pros in 2025 are expected to debut the hole-punch Dynamic Island. The iPhone 16 series will likely continue with the pill-shaped cutouts.
Testing and Development
Apple is reportedly testing under-screen Face ID, Touch ID, and camera technology to perfect hole-punch displays and eventually achieve all-screen iPhones. The company wants to ensure that Face ID continues to work reliably.
Exciting Features and Rumors
It is common for rumors about exciting new features to circulate before they are ready for commercial deployment. While the iPhone 16 Pro hole-punch rumor makes sense, it may be too soon to get too excited about it.
Expert Insight
Mark Gurman, a well-known insider, has stated that the iPhone 16 won't have any major hardware upgrades. Apple will rely on iOS 18's features to sell the new hardware.
