The iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, and iPhone 16 Pro are likely to be introduced and released on Friday, September 20. Here is everything we currently know about the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, the more reasonably priced phones in the lineup.

One of the features that should be included in all four of the new iPhones this year is the Capture Button, which is still can see on Sony Xperia phones. 

Furthermore, a recent article from 9to5Mac says to pinpoint its specific location. The color of one of the iPhone 16 Pro models—more especially, the much anticipated gold model—is the subject of the "reliable data," as the magazine refers to it. Furthermore, it hides the Capture Button.

There's been no conclusion on what the hue would look like beyond the hint that it's golden in some kind. Some say it'll be golden, while others predict a demure dark brown. "Therefore, we can expect this gold appearance to likely be accurate," the report states, citing the same source that identified the natural gray titanium color of the iPhone 15 Pro with accuracy.

The photograph of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus in a case shows a gap on the long edge on the same side as the Sleep/Wake button. This appears to validate the location of the Capture button, and it is quite probable that if it is where it is on the Pro models, it will be the same on standard iPhones.

The Latest Report on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus

According to a report, iPhone models already have iOS 18 loaded, which is the most recent proof that everything is proceeding as planned, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.

“I’m expecting iOS 18.1 beta 3 with Apple Intelligence as well as iOS 18.0 beta 8/RC (without visible changes, as I previously said, from beta 7) to arrive later this week (Wednesday is the target). iOS 18 is already being flashed on iPhone 16s being shipped from the factory.”, he posted on X.

Later, Gurman said on X that everything had gone according to plan with the beta software releases. If iPhone 16 units have already been dispatched from the manufacturer, that bodes well for the September 20 on-sale date.

Although it should come as no surprise that iOS 18 comes pre-installed, the absence of noticeable changes between versions 7 and 8 could indicate that Apple is confident enough in the software's quality to forgo the possibility of day-one updates on release day, as has occurred with some products in the past.

Design: iPhone 16 and 16 Plus

From the front, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will appear to be identical to the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus. However, when they are turned around, the most visible alteration appears to be a reorientation of the two rear cameras, which will most likely be vertical rather than diagonal. The ability to record spatial video—a stunning 3D format that can be played back on the Apple Vision Pro—will be one of the many benefits of this for customers.

Next is the Action Button, which, with the exception of the 15 Pro and Pro Max, will take the role of the mute/ring switch seen on all iPhone models before to the 15. The Action Button is customizable, allowing it to be used for reasons other than muting the ring.

The opposite edge may feature an all-new Capture Button, allowing users to conveniently snap photos and record video. This capacitive button could enable intuitive zoom controls, enabling users to seamlessly adjust the frame. While some analysts speculate it may be exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro, the writer believes Apple will likely offer this functionality across the entire iPhone 16 lineup, including the standard and Plus models.

The new device is expected to retain the current 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch display sizes but may feature a more energy-efficient OLED panel.

The device's color options are also likely to change. The keynote invitation's animated imagery suggests the new colors may include yellow, pink, blue, black, and white.

Recent reports indicate a potential shift in battery technology that may lead to longer battery life or, more realistically, maintain current battery life even with increased energy demands from new features.
