It is said that Apple’s iPhone series will change size in 2024, and the iPhone 16 Pro models will have larger screens than their predecessors. According to reliable sources, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will have screens around 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively. This is a significant increase over the existing 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.

The increase in screen size is accompanied by slightly larger overall dimensions. Both Pro models will be slightly longer and wider than their 2023 counterparts while maintaining the same thickness.

This size change can have various consequences. The larger form factor could allow Apple to use larger batteries for better battery life, which is a typical user request. Additionally, increased screen real estate could pave the way for potential display improvements or other internal upgrades.

Rumor has it that these size changes are currently limited to Pro models. The standard iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are expected to retain the existing 6.1- and 6.7-inch displays. However, rumors suggest that Apple may offer larger 6.27-inch and 6.85-inch displays for standard iPhone models in the 2025 iPhone 17 series. This could also lead to a move to a higher 19.6:9 aspect ratio for all iPhones.

Note that these details are based on existing rumors and leaks; so approach these details with some caution. Apple will most likely launch the iPhone 16 series in September as usual, so the company will have plenty of time to change plans. With all this said, this change in the screen sizes of the Pro models marks an interesting development in Apple’s iPhone strategy.
