(Image credit: Apple / Laptop Mag)Perhaps the upgrade that will have the biggest impact on the iPhone 16 is its rumored increase to RAM, which will see the device take the leap from 6GB to 8GB — in turn seeing the handset able to support the AI features included with the upcoming Apple Intelligence suite for iOS 18.This upgrade would mean that all models of iPhone 16 will be compatible with the upcoming feature, as would the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, which also offer 8GB of RAM. However, that also suggests that the vast majority of iPhones won’t support on-device Apple Intelligence.That said, Apple may offer cloud computing options for lower-specced handsets, though whether or not they’ll gain access to all Apple Intelligence features this way remains to be seen.

(Image credit: Laptop Mag / Rael Hornby)If you’re hoping for any further upgrades to coincide with the iPhone 16’s rear-camera shakeup, then we may have some bad news for you, at least for this year.According to Apple analyst Ming Chi Kuo, we shouldn’t expect much change in the specs of the iPhone 16’s cameras to the iPhone 15 that came before it. That means seeing a return of the same 48MP main lens met with 12MP ultrawide array and the same 12MP selfie camera.Those seeking an upgraded photography experience from the base iPhone may want to skip this year’s offering, as it’s reported that the base iPhone 17 will at least feature a 24MP upgrade to the handset’s selfie camera.

(Image credit: Apple Hub)The iPhone 16’s new camera layout won’t be the only visual changes we expect to see revealed today. Another change for the iPhone 16 could see Apple wave goodbye to its pastel colorways for the most part, bringing in some deeper hues thanks to blue and teal/green additions that join the lineup’s black, white, and pink options.It’s likely that these new, bolder colors are the result of Apple bringing the iPhone 15 Pro’s color-infused back glass to its base models this year, allowing for stronger tones and a more striking, stand-out look for the handsets.

(Image credit: Laptop Mag / Rael Hornby)Beyond its specs, the iPhone 16 is said to feature a new re-deigned camera island that switches out the previously diagonal layout for a vertically stacked set of lenses. Why the change? The answer may be linked to Apple’s mixed-reality headset, the Vision Pro.Last year, the iPhone 15 Pro received an update that saw its ultrawide and telephoto lenses switch places. We caught early wind of this change thanks to one reliable tipster’s claims in May 2023.At the time we weren’t sure exactly why Apple intended to make such a switch, given that it would make no real aesthetic difference to the phone or its photography. However, as we would later find out, it was all to do with further taking advantage of the Vision Pro’s ability to view spatial photographs.On a related note – the camera arrangement has changed, compared to the 14 Pro / Pro Max.The Ultra Wide and Telephoto cameras have swapped positions – so the camera between the flash and LiDAR sensor is the one with periscope lens on the 15 Pro Max (regular telephoto on 15 Pro) https://t.co/J0QYdPsNH7May 16, 2023The revised camera layout for the iPhone 15 Pro models allowed them to engage in the taking of spatial photographs, perfect for playback on the Vision Pro headset.The iPhone 16’s redesigned camera array, should (in theory) now be positioned in a way to allow similar spatial photography opportunities when the device is turned to landscape, making it an affordable option for those looking to add another dimension to their digital snaps.
