The iPhone 16 Pro models are rumored to have the narrowest bezels ever seen on an iPhone. In addition to this, new information has surfaced regarding the dimensions of the iPhone 16 series.
Recent details from IT Home indicate that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will be slightly larger than their predecessors, although their thickness will remain unchanged. These insights are derived from unofficial renders of the iPhone 16 series, which also provide dimension specifics. The differences in dimensions compared to the predecessors are outlined in the table below.
| Phone model | Height (mm) | Width (mm) | Thickness (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 15 Pro Max | 159.9 | 76.7 | 8.25 |
| iPhone 16 Pro Max | 163.03 | 77.58 | 8.25 |
| iPhone 15 Pro | 146.6 | 70.6 | 8.25 |
| iPhone 16 Pro | 149.61 | 71.45 | 8.25 |
| iPhone 15 Plus | 160.9 | 77.8 | 7.8 |
| iPhone 16 Plus | 160.88 | 77.75 | 7.8 |
| iPhone 15 | 147.6 | 71.6 | 7.8 |
| iPhone 16 | 147.63 | 71.62 | 7.8 |
Dimensions and Design Changes
The base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models are nearly identical in size to their predecessors. However, the camera module has been redesigned, potentially enabling the phone to capture Spatial Video, akin to the Apple Vision Pro headset.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has previously mentioned that the iPhone 16 Pro Max might offer a longer battery life compared to the iPhone 15 Pro Max. This could be attributed to a larger battery pack. Additionally, earlier rumors suggest the Pro models may feature a slightly larger 1/1.14-inch main sensor and a periscope telephoto lens, necessitating more internal space and thus contributing to the increased size of the upcoming Pro models.
Bezel Specifications and Render Predictions
Moreover, a Weibo tipster known as “Instant Digital” shared the bezel widths for all four iPhone 16 models. However, it's important to note that these predictions slightly differ from the latest render dimensions. Specifically, Instant Digital predicted that the height and width of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus would be 2mm smaller than their predecessors, while the latest render suggests they will remain the same. Given that both sources are unofficial, these details should be taken with a grain of salt.
