The rumors are pouring in, and per analyst Jeff Pu, Apple is looking to add both Wi-Fi 7 and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera to some of its iPhone 16 models.
The company is rumored to be bringing Wi-Fi 7 to its iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max handsets this year. The iPhone 14 launched with Wi-Fi 6 and not Wi-Fi 6E, but since then Apple has brought 6E support to the iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, and Mac mini, and is expected to bring it to the iPhone 15 lineup next month. Wi-Fi 7 is expected to deliver real-world speeds of 5.8Gbps, about 60 percent faster than Wi-Fi 6E. Granted, users will need a Wi-Fi 7 router to enjoy those speeds.
Pu also noted that the iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to receive a 48MP ultra-wide camera. The iPhone 14 Pro models launched with a 48MP wide-angle camera that uses pixel-binning to deliver high-quality photos. A 48MP ultra-wide camera would presumably bring similar results to the ultra-wide camera and possibly a larger aperture for better clarity in challenging light.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
