iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 16: 30+ Upgrades to Expect

After over a year of reports, there are now more than a dozen specific rumors about the features and improvements set to be offered by the two non-Pro iPhone 16 models later in 2024.

While the upgrades that the iPhone 16 offers over the iPhone 15 will likely be at the center of Apple's marketing strategy later this year, many users are on two-year upgrade cycles, so the features introduced on both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 will stack up. All of the changes the iPhone 16 models are expected to feature compared to their two direct forerunners are listed below, using information from a range of reliable sources that we have previously covered. We will update this article as more rumors emerge in the coming months.

This guide focuses on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 16, but to learn about how we are expecting the iPhone 14 Pro to improve on the iPhone 16 Pro, see our other comparison article.

Design

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to largely carry over the design of their predecessors. As a result, the iPhone 16 will be a relatively significant evolution over the ‌iPhone 14‌, featuring slightly rounded edges, a frosted glass back, and a vertical rear camera arrangement to facilitate spatial video capture. Other important design changes are expected to include the removal of the mute switch in favor of the Action button introduced on last year's Pro models and the introduction of an all-new "Capture" button.

Displays

For iPhone 14 users, the iPhone 16 will offer many of the display upgrades that came to the previous generation, as well as a more efficient OLED panel thanks to micro-lens technology.

Cameras

The iPhone 15 introduced a major camera upgrade for Apple's standard smartphone lineup, bringing over the 48-megapixel camera of the iPhone 14 Pro. With a number of other improvements such as spatial video capture, the iPhone 16 should be a significant camera upgrade over the iPhone 14.

芯片、内存和连接性

据传 iPhone 16 机型将采用与 Pro 机型相同的 A18 芯片，新机型可能会比首次推出 A15 仿生芯片的 iPhone 14 提供重大性能改进2021 年。2GB 额外内存和第二代超宽带芯片也将进行显着升级。

电池和充电

iPhone 16型号可以获得一些电池技术和充电方面的重大改进，电池密度更高，充电速度更快。值得注意的是，据传 iPhone 16 Plus 的电池比前代产品更小，但目前尚不清楚这将如何影响实际电池寿命。

值得升级吗？

2023 年的 iPhone 15 是对 iPhone 14 的相当重大的升级，引入了更现代的设计，包括动态岛、USB-C 端口和 48 兆像素摄像头。 iPhone 16 将在这些升级的基础上进行构建，提供“拍摄”和“操作”按钮、Apple Intelligence 和空间视频拍摄功能。据传将有 30 多项升级，许多当前的 iPhone 14 用户会发现升级到 iPhone 16 机型即使不是必需的也是值得的。

发布日期

iPhone 16 和 iPhone 16 Plus 预计将于秋季推出。苹果通常每年 9 月都会举办一场发布会，发布新的 iPhone 机型，并在一周多后发布。有关 iPhone 16 型号的更多信息，请参阅我们的综合综述。
