Reasons why Apple should not increase the iPhone 16 Pro screen size.

Apple is expected to increase the iPhone 16 Pro screen size, but is this action appropriate for the product?

Recently leaked screen protector images showed that the new screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max is larger than its predecessors. This causes a lot of worry, especially with the iPhone 16 Pro version. Let's find out why users are so worried.

Size of iPhone 16 series

According to the leak, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will retain the same 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens respectively, however the iPhone 16 Pro has a slightly larger 6.3-inch screen compared to the iPhone's 6.1 inches. The 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have screens increased from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches.

Apple has yet to confirm these details, but it's likely they will come to fruition. In fact, DCSS screen expert Ross Young has also hinted that the iPhone 2024 screen size will be larger as early as May 2023. Furthermore, famous leaker Majin Bu on

Is bigger better?

That is one of the questions that many people often think about, and Steve Jobs himself mentioned the same thing when the iPhone remained the same 3.5 inch size from its launch until his death. Obviously increasing the iPhone size larger than 3.5 inches is the right choice for Tim Cook, but think about the simplest thing, which is that people now need "quality rather than quantity", because The current iPhone size seems to be too good.

Many phone users actually prefer smaller phones. That's because they like to keep things simple. They don't need a bigger phone, because they watch all the soap operas on TV. They don't need that ultimate gaming experience, because they have a PlayStation or like to throw darts in the nearby pub.

iPhone 15 Pro Max is the iPhone model with the largest screen on the market.

Others are simply bored of standing in front of a screen all day and don't want to get caught up in the digital world. In general, people who like compact phones will like compact designs and they have quite a good argument for choosing phones with screens from 5 to 6 inches, which is everyone's pocket.

Lessons Zenfone 11 Ultra

When discussing phone screen size, it is impossible not to mention the appearance of Zenfone phones from Asus, most specifically the Zenfone 11 Ultra. It's a phone with an incredibly increased screen size that Asus launched in March. To compare the growth, let's look at the size information of Zenfone models as follows:

- Zenfone 9: 5.9-inch screen.

- Zenfone 10: 5.92-inch screen.

- Zenfone 11 Ultra: 6.78-inch screen.

The Zenfone 11 Ultra is not a bad phone. It is equipped with the advanced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, 12 GB RAM and 256 GB internal memory. Additionally, it also boasts a large 5,500mAh battery that supports ultra-fast 65W wired charging and decent 15W wireless charging. But it doesn't do what the popular Zenfone 9 and 10 models did before it, which is compact design.

Zenfone 11 Ultra is not as popular as Zenfone 9 and 10 because it is too big?

After all, it seems like zooming in on the iPhone 16 Pro is unnecessary. We don't despise large screen phones at all, it's even good to look at the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The problem here is their compact design. It will serve those who need the most compactness possible. For those who need a giant in terms of size, the future trend of folding phones can be solved, while the size of iPhone Pro Max models already caters to specific customers.
