In general, every year before the release of the iPhone, there will be countless leaks in advance, and this year’s iPhone 16 is no exception. There has been a lot of information leaked, it is reported that the new iPhone will start with 256GB, and will also eliminate all physical buttons on both sides.
The iPhone 16 starts at 256 gigabytes and costs the same.
@LeaksApplePro recently tweeted that Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro this year starts with 256GB storage, and the price may remain at $999 (domestic starting price is 7,999 yuan).
Previously, the iPhone 15 Pro model started with 128GB of storage, while the iPhone 15 Pro Max started with 256GB of storage. The report said the move could further unify Apple’s iPhone Pro line, keeping the same specifications in addition to size differences, including camera and storage.
The outside physical buttons are all removed, and the bare iPhone is here
According to reports, ASE Investment Control once again won Apple’s large order, exclusive access to Apple’s new design this year, used on both sides of the new body of the iPhone 16 series, replacing the existing physical keys of the capacitive key system level package (SiP) module order.
In other words: The next iPhone will be bare, with no physical buttons!
Foreign media news said: Apple wants to remove the physical keys such as volume keys and power keys used for many years in the iPhone, and needs at least two system-level packaging modules to integrate capacitive keys and Taptic Engine motors and other related components, and the relevant system-level packaging modules are exclusively won by ASE Investment Control.
The new iPhone has a foldable screen? Maybe, but not necessarily right now
Android folding screen has dozens of models, iPhone folding screen when will come? Don’t worry, Cook’s doing it!
According to a list published recently by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple has been awarded a patent for a foldable screen phone that focuses on a new spring layer concept to reduce stress during folding.
According to the information, the spring layer consists of an array of metal springs, which are then embedded with sensors such as force-sensing structures (such as strain gauges), and the patent states that foam columns and other compressible structures can be interspersed with the spring if necessary to help adjust the performance of the spring layer.
However, applying for a patent is a very normal thing, and it is not necessary to apply immediately, right? The next iPhone may have a foldable screen, but maybe it’s just a concept.
