The iPhone 16 Pro models will feature a taller aspect ratio of 19.6:9, a change that will trickle down to the standard iPhone 17 models the following year, new forecasts
The iPhone 14 lineup has an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, a specification that is expected to remain the same across this year's iPhone 15 lineup. The change with the iPhone 16 Pro models means that the device should get slightly taller, rather than wider. While the iPhone 16 Pro models have been widely rumored to feature larger screens for some time, the aspect ratio of the devices was unclear until now.
Young also provided exact display sizes for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The devices are expected to increase from 6.12- and 6.69-inches to 6.27- and 6.86-inches, respectively. This represents a display size increase of 2.5% on both devices.
With the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus in 2025, Apple will apparently bring the larger 6.27- and 6.86-inch display sizes to its two standard iPhone models. As Young has previously reported, these devices are also expected to gain LTPO panels to support ProMotion for variable refresh rates up to 120Hz. This means that the standard iPhone 17 models look set to receive a substantial display upgrade, with larger sizes and LPTO for ProMotion.
