Early rumors are surfacing regarding the specs of the iPhone 16 series, likely set to launch in September, if Apple's previous release schedule is maintained. 9to5Mac has discovered an investor note where market analyst Jeff Pu outlined what we should expect in the iPhone 16 range, such as new System on Chip specs and camera upgrades.

According to Pu, the iPhone 16 Plus and even the base iPhone 16 could be powered by Apple's next-gen A18 SoC, utilising a 3-nanometer fabrication process. This would offer a sizeable power and efficiency boost over the current base iPhone 15, which is still based on older 4nm Apple A16 hardware. The new A18 chip is also said to boost RAM to 8GB in the iPhone 16 - up from the current 6GB in the iPhone 15.
