The iPhone 16 series launch event will take place in just over a week according to Apple's announcement, but it seems that Apple's latest iPhone model has just appeared in real life and was recorded in a video.

Source Majin Bu, who often has reliable leaks about new technology products, has just shared a video of what is believed to be the iPhone 16 model on social network X.

The video shows an iPhone in the rain, with a vertically aligned dual rear camera setup and a matte black finish. There’s also an Action button above the volume buttons and a larger button on the opposite side below the power button. This could be the rumored Capture button.

However, users only get to see the iPhone 16 model from the back and some glimpses of the side. There are no images of the front of this iPhone in the video. This may be because the person filming the video intentionally hid the front screen from being visible.

Since the front of the device is not visible, it is not possible to be completely sure whether this is a real iPhone 16, or if it is just a fake device or a mold used for accessory production.

Furthermore, Apple is notorious for keeping everything about its new products under wraps before they’re released. Unreleased iPhones have only appeared in real life a handful of times in the past, and those involved have often suffered unpleasant consequences.

According to leaked news up to now, the upcoming iPhone 16 series will have many bright upgrades compared to its "predecessor".

The first notable thing is the screen upgrades . While the iPhone 16 Pro models' screens are expected to increase by about 0.2 inches, the standard iPhone 16 models are said to be the same size as the iPhone 15 generation.

In theory, that means the iPhone 16 will have a 6.1-inch display and the Plus version will have a 6.7-inch display. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will have 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays, respectively.

Rumors also say that Apple is applying Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology to the iPhone 16 series. In April 2024, a report said that the iPhone 16 series' screen bezels will continue to get thinner.

About the camera : Leaked news says that the tetraprism lens will be equipped for both iPhone 16 Pro models (previously only on the iPhone 15 Pro Max), but the possibility of equipping the standard iPhone 16 is very low.

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will both get a new upgraded 48MP Ultra Wide camera this year. This will mark a significant improvement over the current 12MP Ultra Wide camera on the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max.

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will have a vertically arranged rear camera cluster, instead of a diagonal module like the iPhone 15.

Regarding the possibility of upgrading the battery for the new iPhone: Initial revelations suggest that both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models will use stacked battery technology, providing higher capacity and longer life.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that switching to stainless steel casings for iPhone batteries would increase the battery's energy density by 5 to 10 percent, while still ensuring safety and meeting new EU regulations.

According to rumors, Apple may reduce the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 Plus series, when it is only 4,006mAh compared to 4,383mAh of the iPhone 15 Plus.

Meanwhile, this year's iPhone 16 Pro‌ Max will have an even greater battery life of 30 hours, compared to 29 hours of the iPhone 15 Pro‌ Max.

About AI features - Apple Intelligence: It won't be necessary to have the iPhone 16 Pro to experience Apple Intelligence, iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are also supported.

Siri is smarter with contextual awareness, helping users perform tasks across multiple apps.

In addition, with Apple Intelligence, iPhone 16 can also exploit Genmoji to quickly create personal emojis; edit text, edit photos and even ChatGPT...

Apple announced the event "It's Glowtime" at 10am on September 9 (0am on September 10 Vietnam time) at Apple Park headquarters.

In addition to the iPhone 16 series launch, Apple is likely to introduce the Apple Watch, AirPods 4, and announce the official release dates for iOS 18, macOS Sequoia, and other software.
