The iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max are products in the iPhone line of smartphones made by Apple which are to be released sometime in September 2024. These phones are to be released operating with iOS 18, which is in the iOS line of software made by Apple.

Charging Port
The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will be expected to use USB-C for the second time since Apple transitions to USB-C technology for the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro. But one iPhone can have a portless design, having charging and data transfer can be done with MagSafe or similar technology.

Display
iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will come with larger screen sizes, 6.27" (15.9 cm) and 6.86" (17.4 cm), from 6.12" (15.5 cm) and 6.69" (17 cm), and they will feature a slightly taller aspect ratio, from 16.5:9 (11:6) to 16.6:9 (83:45).

Under-display Face ID
The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max might have an under-display Face ID technology, which is expected to introduce as soon as 2024, but it might not be available until 2025 with the iPhone 17 Pro.

Solid-state buttons
The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will have a solid-state feature for all buttons, which will look similar to the iPhone 8, iPhone SE, and the trackpad on the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. When a user presses a button, a haptic vibration is used to tell what button they've pressed.

Colors
The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max models would come in four new different colors which would be Space Black, Pearl, Rose, and Gray. The Space Black color option is expected to return after nearly two years being last seen on the iPhone 14 Pro in 2022. Although, it was alternatively seen as Black Titanium on the iPhone 15 Pro in 2023.

Camera
iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max would have a 48-megapixel Ultra Wide lens, which allows improved images in low light. They will have the 48-megapixel camera on the wide lens, with four pixels combined together to create a super pixel for better image quality. The 48-megapixel wide-angle camera will also feature an eight-part hybrid lens, along with camera improvements. The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max could get periscope telephoto lenses by 2024. The regular 16 Pro will also get a 5x optical zoom, used on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The whole iPhone 16 lineup is expected to have a stacked rear sensor design, which is first introduced on the iPhone 15 models.

The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max would also feature a super telephoto periscope camera to get an increased optical zoom with a focal length of 300mm.

Price
As with the iPhone 14 lineup, prices have started at US$799. For iPhone 15 models, prices have to be higher. As with the upcoming iPhone 16 lineup, the prices have to be way higher. Hypothetical prices for iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are listed below:

Wifi 7 is also going to use 350 MHz channels with QAM technology, which is 2.4x faster than Wifi 6 with the same number of antennas. It will also provide faster transfer speeds, lower latency, and more reliably connectivity.
