The rumor mill is churning out exciting details about the upcoming iPhone 16 lineup. According to the latest rumor, the Pro model will feature the new "Rose" color option.
It's important to note that it's a different rumor claiming that the iPhone 15 Pro's successor will have a "Rose Gold" option.
A Touch of Rose: New Color Option for iPhone 16 Pro Models
A fresh rumor from China, particularly from Weibo tipster OvO Baby Sauce OvO, suggests a new "Rose" colorway for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. This information, corroborated by Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, marks a departure from the previous "Rose Gold" offered in 2015.
Kuo further suggests that the existing Blue Titanium option might be dropped for the iPhone 16 Pro, replaced by this captivating "Rose" hue. This aligns with an earlier leak hinting at a similar shift.
Color Options for iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus
While the Pro models embrace a new color option, the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus seems to be sticking with a familiar palette.
As MacRumors reports, Kuo claims that these models are expected to come in black, green, pink, blue, and white. This replaces the yellow option available on the iPhone 15, marking white as the new addition.
Face ID Design Changes: Another iPhone 16 Rumor on the Watch
Another intriguing rumor suggests potential modifications to the Face ID design on the iPhone 16. While specifics remain under wraps, this development has reportedly impacted Apple's supply chain partners.
A report indicates that a key supplier of Face ID sensor components might face closure due to Apple discontinuing their services - a consequence of these rumored design alterations.
The Elusive Under-Screen Face ID
While details about the Face ID revamp are scarce, it's important to note that these changes might be internal tweaks without impacting user experience. Additionally, Apple is reportedly working on under-screen Face ID technology for future iPhones, but this futuristic feature isn't expected to materialize before next year at the earliest.
Design Language: A Familiarity with a Twist
The iPhone 16 lineup is anticipated to retain the core design language of the iPhone 15 series, per 9to5Mac. However, the Pro models might boast slightly larger screens. The entire lineup is also rumored to incorporate a new capture button, potentially enhancing the camera experience.
These rumors paint a picture of an iPhone 16 lineup that offers exciting color options for the Pro models, while potentially introducing subtle yet significant changes to the Face ID system.
As the Cupertino giant readies for the big "iPhone 16" announcement for the September launch, expect more details to emerge, solidifying the features and functionalities of the next generation of iPhones.
Earlier this month, Tech Times reported that a new Digitimes rumor claimed that a 5x telephoto camera will be bannered on the iPhone 16 Pro.
