The iPhone 16 Ultra could opt for a 6.9-inch screen according to 9to5Mac. Apple would wait for the 2024 iPhone generation to switch to Ultra.
Yes yes, the iPhone 15 is not yet released that the rumors surrounding the iPhone 16 are already gaining traction. The source is serious, it is 9to5Macwhich reports that the future series of smartphones from Apple will welcome a very large screen.
In recent months, the arrival of an iPhone Ultra has caused much ink to flow. And according to 9to5, Apple would wait for the iPhone 16 generation to make this brand change. We would therefore have an iPhone 15 Pro Max in 2023 and an iPhone 16 Ultra in 2024.
A 6.9 inch screen
The latter would include a screen which, on paper, seems huge since it would measure 6.9 inches. This would result in a taller smartphone, but not necessarily much wider. When we see the pieces that are the iPhone 14 Pro Max, it’s hard to imagine how we could go further.
To advance this information, 9to5Mac was based on CAD files, that is to say a 3D document supposed to contain the precise measurements of future devices, but also their parts or other elements. Here are the approximate dimensions revealed by this file:
- iPhone 16 Ultra (approximate)
- Width: 77.2mm;
- Height: 165.0mm;
- Screen size: 6.9 inches.
- iPhone 15 Pro Max (approximate)
- Width: 76.7mm;
- Height: 159.8mm;
- Screen size: 6.7 inches.
It’s still early to conclude
Even if it may seem obvious, remember that a leak concerning the iPhone 16 must be viewed with the utmost caution. Even 9to5Mac who reveals this information recalls it. The iPhone 16s are far from being finalized at this stage and can still evolve.
However, several reputable sources claim that the entire iPhone 16 series would see its screens grow. According to Ming-Chi Kuo for example, the basic iPhone 16 would go from 6.1 inches to 6.3.
