According to a post made by tipster Ovo Baby Sauce Ovo (translated from Chinese) on Chinese social media platform Weibo, a fresh leak suggests that the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro may launch in a new ‘Rose’ colour. This new colour option corroborates earlier rumours that Apple may reintroduce the Rose Gold colour first seen with the iPhone 6S in 2015. iPhone 16 Pro specifications have also surfaced online. Here are the details.

The tipster also revealed that the blue titanium finish introduced with the iPhone 15 Pro models last year could be discontinued. Instead, the rose colourway is expected to join the existing options of black, grey, and silver/white for the iPhone 16 Pro variants. This information matches a previous report by supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who predicted that a new ‘rose’ titanium colourway could be part of Apple’s next iPhone series.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to have the same colour options as the iPhone 15 series, with the only change being the replacement of the yellow option with a white option. These colour updates could provide a new aesthetic appeal for the iPhone 16 Pro, which could potentially attract a wider range of users. Like all leaks, it is advisable to take this information with a grain of salt as Apple is yet to confirm it.

The iPhone 16 series may feature larger displays and thinner bezels for a better visual experience. The iPhone 16 Pro may feature a larger 6.3-inch screen. However, such a large display may make it difficult to use with one hand. Leaks suggest that Apple may move to capacitive, touch-sensitive buttons that feel like pressing a real button through haptic feedback. This innovation, powered by Apple’s Taptic Engine, was originally anticipated for the iPhone 15 series but was delayed due to technical constraints.

The iPhone 16 Pro may feature the advanced A18 Pro chip. The iPhone 16 Pro may have the same 5x optical zoom capability as the iPhone 15 Pro Max, thanks to Apple’s tetraprism lens system, which promises better zoom performance without sacrificing image quality. Apple is reportedly working on new anti-reflective optical coating technology for its cameras to reduce artifacts such as lens flare and ghosting, ensuring better image quality in different lighting conditions. In addition, the iPhone 16 Pro models are expected to get an upgraded 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens, which will capture more light and deliver clearer, more detailed shots. The rest of the details are still unknown. The iPhone 16 series is likely to launch in September this year.
