The iPhone 16 Pro generation is expected to debut with Apple’s A18 Pro chip, paired with 8GB of RAM. Additionally, there will be an option to expand the storage up to 2TB, compared to the previous generation’s 1TB limit.

The upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max could potentially offer the longest battery life across the Pro model range, featuring a 4,676 mAh battery cell, compared to the 4,441mAh cell on the 15 Pro Max. As for the smaller 16 Pro, it is rumored to carry a larger battery than its predecessor, promising improved battery life.
