Speculations indicate that the iPhone 16 Pro series will maintain this level for HDR brightness. The source of this leak, Weibo leaker Instant Digital, has garnered credibility by accurately predicting features such as the nanotexture glass option for the iPad Pro, as reported by Forbes. Apple's recent revelation regarding the iPad Pro introduced a new display technology known as Tandem OLED, which merges two OLED screens to achieve unparalleled brightness.

This development hints at a potentially game-changing upgrade for the display technology expected in this year's Pro iPhones.

This enhancement is particularly significant for users who frequently utilize their phones outdoors, where screen visibility can be compromised by sunlight. Aside from the enhanced display, there are widespread speculations about potential features of the iPhone 16 Pro. It's rumored that it could be driven by an advanced 3nm A18 Pro chipset, replacing the A17 Pro.
