Similar to the Magic 6 series, the forthcoming Magic 7 range might comprise the Magic 7, Magic 7 Pro, Magic 7 Ultimate, and the Magic 7 RSR Porsche Design. Among these, the Magic 7 Pro has been the subject of frequent leaks. Recently, a tipster shared a mock render illustrating the phone’s rear design. An image has now emerged on Chinese social media, revealing most of the key specifications. Here’s what the Magic 7 Pro might offer.

    Potential Specifications of the Honor Magic 7 Pro

    The Honor Magic 7 Pro is expected to feature a 6.82-inch 2K dual-layer OLED display with quad-curved edges and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen could incorporate 8T LTPO technology and be protected by the latest Kunlun Glass for added durability. It may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor, combined with UFS 4.0 storage and LPDDR5X RAM.

    Camera Capabilities and Battery Features

    Regarding photography, the phone might include a 50-megapixel front camera with 3D depth-sensing features. The rear is speculated to house a triple camera system, consisting of a 50-megapixel main sensor (OmniVision OV50H), a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, possibly using IMX882 or 200-megapixel Samsung HP3 sensor technology.

It is anticipated to support 100W wired charging and 66W wireless charging for rapid power replenishment. Other prospective features may include IP68/69 water resistance, ultrasonic fingerprint and 2D face recognition, and Honor’s improved eye protection 3.0. Additionally, the phone might support satellite communication and include the C1+ RF chip, E1 efficiency chip, and x-axis linear motor.

    Rumors and Speculation

    It is important to mention that the authenticity of this leaked image cannot be verified. As such, it’s wise to approach these specifications with skepticism.

  • iPhone 16 Launch Poster Leak Suggests September 10 Event

    iPhone 16 Launch Poster Leak Suggests September 10 Event

    News of Apple's upcoming September event, which is typically kept under wraps, may have been prematurely revealed, according to a new rumor. A source known as Majin Buu suggests he has obtained a promotional poster for the event featuring the tagline “Ready. Set. Capture.” The poster indicates that the event will occur on September 10th, aligning with earlier speculations about the iPhone 16 launch period.

    Nonetheless, it's wise to approach this information with skepticism. Majin Buu admits that his source desires anonymity and that he cannot independently confirm the poster's authenticity. Until Apple issues official invitations, a cautious "wait and see" attitude is advisable.

    A Hint in Gold?

    The poster's gold-shaded Apple logo might hint at the purported "Desert Titanium" color for the iPhone 16. The event's slogan, “Ready. Set. Capture,” could be linked to a new capture button expected in the iPhone 16 series. This button is rumored to be a solid-state capacitive button, offering haptic feedback via an integrated Taptic engine.

    Features and Expectations

    While the button's precise role remains speculative, it might either initiate the camera shutter or function as a quick access to the camera app. More details will likely surface during Apple’s September event. This year, the lineup is anticipated to include four models, presumably named iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. These devices are expected to debut with iOS 18.

    We'll keep monitoring Apple's official channels and other credible sources for further updates. For now, it's best to consider these early rumors cautiously and watch for more solid information as September approaches.

    iPhone 16 Pro/Max Leak Reveals Larger Size

    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.

    iPhone 15 Pro Max159.976.78.25
    iPhone 16 Pro Max163.0377.588.25

    iPhone 15147.671.67.8
    iPhone 16147.6371.627.8

    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.

    Further Rumors
