If there is something that characterizes those who like the techno world, it is anxiety. And to highlight this particularity, there are already news of the iPhone 16. Yes, details of the 2024 model were known... and it still didn't come out on the 15th.
According to analyst Ross Young, Apple will increase the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro next year, while also changing the aspect ratio to make the devices taller and narrower.
According to Young, the iPhone 16 Pro will feature a 6.27-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature a 6.86-inch display, almost a tablet (the first iPad was 9-inches). The Max 14 is 6.7 inches.

What this means is that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature larger screens, at the cost of making the devices taller rather than wider.
While these changes will be exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro, the changes are speculated to continue on non-Pro iPhone models, starting with the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus in 2025.

The iPhones 14 have received criticism for their lack of innovation.
While, as 9to5 Mac reports, Apple is clearly working on these screens, the company's plans may change based on issues such as supply chain disruptions.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 is expected to be presented at an Apple event during the first weeks of September this year, to be launched a week or two later. They are expected to be similar to the iPhone 14, although with more rounded back edges.
In principle and as expected, the iPhone 15 will switch to USB-C port this year.
On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Ultra, which will likely replace the iPhone 15 Pro Max, would have more advanced image processing software than the iPhone 15 Pro, as well as the rest of the iPhone 15 series.
Even if the camera hardware is the same in the 15 Ultra and Pro versions, the iPhone 15 Ultra would have a considerable advantage in the photographic section.
It could also get more out of its new processor, with the source adding that the Ultra's performance won't be as limited by software as on the Pro model. Those performance limits are in place to stop phones from overheating, so if this is true, then the iPhone 15 Ultra presumably must also have a better cooling system.
The rest of the news points to an iPhone 15 line that would receive the entire Dynamic Island feature (Dynamic Island, which debuted in the latest Pro versions) instead of a notch, and that although all will apparently use USB-C, the two top models will offer higher data transfer speeds (similar to USB 3.2 technology).
