Apple recently rolled out the iOS 18 update for eligible iPhone users. This update came with several new features and improvements. This new update is reported to allow users to start the firmware recovery of iPhone 16 if it enters recovery mode by simply placing it next to another iPhone or iPad to start the firmware recovery. In this case, the other Apple device will download a new iOS firmware and will simply transfer it to the bricked device. This simply means that you will not require a Mac or PC to fix the firmware issue of your iPhone 16 models.

This has been reported by 9To5Mac in a report. A user can use any device running on iOS 18 to restore a bricked device, though iPhone 16 models are the first that can be restored wirelessly. Here it’s important to mention that it’s not sure whether the company will be rolling out this capability to other iPhone models or not. This might require new hardware, which means the previous iPhone models may not get this. The wireless recovery and firmware restore was first introduced for Apple Watch with iOS 15.4 and watchOS 8.5 and then later it was expanded to the Apple TV with iOS 17 and tvOS 17.

Apple’s decision to shift its production from China not only keeps it in a safe position when things are not right in China but also helps it diversify its production. The Indian government is also continuously working to make India a favorable ground for manufacturers. The government earlier this year not only reduced the import duty on parts used for mobile manufacturing from 15% to 10% to boost phone manufacturing in India but also announced Rs 1 lakh crore corpus with a 50-year interest-free loan.

This comfortable ground benefits companies, the government as well as the citizens who get job opportunities. Tata Electronics, which runs two plants for Apple, is the biggest job creator in the Apple ecosystem, along with Foxconn and Pegatron. As per the reports Apple iPhone factories are set to hire more than 10,000 people directly during the peak festival period. And they aim to manufacture more than 50 million iPhones in India per year.

Also, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is tipped to arrive with a 4676mAh battery that is again slightly bigger than its predecessor. Not only this, as per the image revealed by the tipster iPhone 16 Pro Max will feature a rectangular battery rather than an L-shaped battery due to the redesign of the internal structure as per the tipster.

Apple unveiled its latest iPhone 15 series a few months back and this latest series was immensely loved by consumers all over the world as not only were there long queues to get the iPhone 15 series smartphone but the device also went out of stock due to huge demands. Well even before the launch of the iPhone 15 series, updates regarding the iPhone 16 series started arriving over the internet giving an idea to the users about the upcoming series. Just like how the iPhone 15 series arrived for the very first time with a USB Type-C port, the upcoming iPhone 16 series is also said to arrive with new changes and improvements.

MacRumors has recently revealed prototypes of iPhone 16 which are said to be based on Apple’s internal designs.

iPhone 16: Early Prototypes

The iPhone 16 renders above are in three color variants- Yellow, Pink and Black. iPhone 16 Yellow variant features button design with an Action Button, unified volume button and iPhone X-style camera bump. iPhone 16 pink color variant has an action button and separate mechanical volume buttons and the iPhone 16 black color variant has larger action button and new capture button.

Earlier it was tipped that the iPhone 16 will arrive with a vertical camera layout similar to the iPhone 12 smartphone and the above renders showcase the same thing. It is said that Apple is considering two different camera bump designs- the iPhone 12 style design, with two camera lenses located one above the other, or the iPhone 12 X-type design, with a singular pill-shaped enclosure. However, the renders also reveal that the position of the flash will remain unchanged.

From the above renders, it can be said that Apple will be using mechanical buttons for iPhone 16  while the Action button will be standardized to the entire iPhone 16 range. However, the size of the action button is varied across different configurations. One new addition that Apple could include is the capacitive capture button which is on the right side of the device as seen above while the company is also said to develop an alternative hardware configuration that does not feature a capture button which might be used in case of hardware issues.

The front side of the iPhone 16 is the same as its predecessor which features Dynamic Island. Meanwhile, iPhone 16 is also said to feature a USB Type-C port

Also, these are just the early designs and have not been finalized by the company yet. Since there is a lot of time left for the launch of the iPhone 16 series there might be a few changes made by the company in the design of the iPhone 16 smartphone.

Recently, the iPhone 15 series was revealed with a possible increment in price. We updated you about the same. Now Ming-Chi Kuo reported regarding the iPhone 15 that, Apple will upgrade the specification of iPhone 15’s UWB. He also stated that the production process will move from 16nm to an advanced 7nm.
