The iPhone 15 has been out for a few months now, but should you buy it? Maybe not. These are three reasons why you should wait for the iPhone 16 (Pro).
3 reasons why you should wait for the iPhone 16 Pro
Every year there is a new iPhone. In September 2023 it was the turn of the iPhone 15, but should you buy this iPhone? Not necessarily. Perhaps it is better to wait a little longer for the iPhone 16 (Pro). We give you three reasons why.
1. Face ID disappears below the screen
The screens of the iPhone 16 Pro and the Ultra will soon work without the Dynamic Island. This is the small black bar at the top of the screen that can change shape.
This is because the Face ID sensor ends up under the screen. This makes the Dynamic Island redundant and the front of the phones consists entirely of a screen. There is still a small dot visible through the front camera. So you no longer have an annoying black bar. Although there is even a chance that it will also end up under the screen. It remains exciting.
2. Screen really gets bigger
There is more good news for the screen. According to rumors, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max (or iPhone 16 Ultra) will soon have a larger screen. Display analyst Ross Young also confirms this, because according to him the screens will be about 15 percent larger.
That doesn’t sound like much, but the iPhone 16 Pro Max goes from a 6.7-inch screen to a 6.9-inch. This is the largest screen for an iPhone yet.
3. Camera gets better with the Pro version
This year, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has the best camera of all iPhones. Unfortunately, the iPhone 15 Pro’s camera didn’t get all the new features. For example, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 5x zoom, but the Pro can only zoom in 3 times. This made the Pro less interesting than the Pro Max.
According to usually reliable Apple expert Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple will do something different with the next iPhone. According to him, both the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max will have the same camera.
This means that both Pro models will soon be able to zoom in 5x optically (or more). According to rumors, the iPhone 15 Pro did not get this technology due to space limitations. But according to Kuo, there were also problems with production. According to the Apple expert, that is no longer the case. So do you want a Pro iPhone? Then it is smart to wait a little longer.
We secretly hope that Apple will improve the camera some more soon. There are rumors about a kind of ‘superzoom’, but you have to take those rumors with a grain of salt.
