12 Reasons to Wait for the iPhone 16 & 7 Reasons Not To

Wait for Larger Screens

According to display analyst Ross Young, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will have larger displays. If true, they will be the largest ever for an iPhone.

Young believes the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will come with 6.27-inch and 6.86-inch display sizes, respectively. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have 6.12-inch and 6.69-inch displays.

Young says these changes will be exclusive to the Pro models and the lower-end iPhone 16 models are expected to keep the same screen sizes (6.1-inches and 6.7-inches).

A well-known leaker on Twitter backs up Young's claims. So does MacRumors. So does yeux1122.

Young also believes Apple will also change the aspect ratio on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max which will make the devices a bit taller than their predecessors.

You can get a sense for these potential changes via these CAD images of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max from 9to5Mac and from these images courtesy of Sonny Dickson. 

According to Korean publication Sisa Journal, Apple will maximize the size of the display by implementing ultra-thin bezel technology called "BRS" or Border Reduction Structure.

The site claims Apple will apply this change to all four iPhone 16 models. South Korean publication The Elec backs up this assertion. 

Leaker Ice Universe says the iPhone 16 Pro will have the world's narrowest bezel, surpassing the Galaxy S24. He's released supposed measurements for the iPhone 16 Pro Max. 

So, if you've wanted an even bigger display on your iPhone, you might want to hold off on an upgrade this year and wait for the iPhone 16 series.
