Apple is releasing a series of new iPhones this year, with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus taking over a number of functions from the iPhone 15 Pro. We already know this.
Apple is working on the iPhone 16 (Plus)
The iPhone 16 will be released this year and through rumors we know more and more about the new phone. We now know that Apple will adjust the sizes of the iPhones this year and that the action button will also come to the ‘normal’ iPhones. This means that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will also have an action button this year. With the iPhone 15, the new button was limited to the Pro models.

That is reportedly not the only Pro feature that we will see with the iPhone 16 this year. It is now customary for Apple to also bring functions from the Pro models to the regular iPhones a year later. For example, the iPhone 15 and the iPhone 15 Plus received the 48-megapixel camera and the Dynamic Island this year. With the iPhone 16 (Plus) we see functions from the iPhone 15 Pro again. Here they are.
More RAM and faster WiFi
The iPhone 16 (Plus) is rumored to run on the A18 chip, which is made using the new 3nm technology. In addition, the iPhone 16 will have 8 GB of RAM for the first time, while the iPhone 15 still has to make do with 6 GB. More working memory ensures that performing multiple tasks at the same time runs more smoothly. The function makes it easier to multitask, without the iPhone 16 becoming slow.
In addition, both the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus will support the faster WiFi 6E. Currently, only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max support this WiFi standard. With WiFi 6E, a new frequency is added to the existing frequencies of 2.4GHz and 5GHz. This function gives you much faster internet with the iPhone 16, even if multiple devices are on the same network.
This is when the iPhone 16 will appear
The iPhone 16 therefore gets quite a few functions from the iPhone 15 Pro, including faster WiFi and more RAM. Other changes we will see with the iPhone 16 are a better microphone and a modified camera island. So several adjustments are expected with the iPhone 16, both outside and inside.

We still have to wait a while for the next iPhone, because Apple will probably not release the new devices until September. Until then, we’ll have to make do with the iPhone 15. Don’t want to wait that long and are you planning to buy a new iPhone soon? In that case, the iPhone 15 Pro has many functions that we see with the iPhone 16 this year.
