From CNET: As the iPhone 15 settles into the market, the tech community is buzzing with anticipation for Apple's next-generation handset, which is expected to be named "iPhone 16."
We've heard whispers about the iPhone 16's features, which are said to span from a new power-efficient display to larger screens, better zoom lenses, an action button and, perhaps not surprisingly, a suite of new gen-AI powered features.
The newest rumors suggest Apple has been working on iPhone Flip models in two different sizes, though there have been difficulties in making the devices to Apple's standards. The company may also be working on a folding tablet with a screen around the size of an iPad Mini. Even though virtually every major phone-maker -- from Google to Oppo to OnePlus and Samsung -- have launched their own bendable handsets, Apple has been characteristically quiet about whether there will ever be an iPhone Flip or an iPhone Fold.
The rumors of larger screen sizes are piling in, at least for select iPhone 16 models. The latest is from Korean publication, the Elec, which published an April report saying select iPhone 16 models are poised to adopt an innovative screen technology, resulting in thinner bezels or the frame around the phone's screen. This development could translate to a slightly larger screen area for some iPhone 16 models, although it's not clear which models.
One of the most salient selling points of Samsung's Galaxy S24 series and Google's Pixel 8 lineup were each of their souped-up AI tips and tricks, and it wouldn't be a major shock if Apple went in the same direction. Apple CEO Tim Cook has gone on the record this year confirming Apple sees "a huge opportunity for Apple with gen AI and AI."
