Referring to previous reports, Apple’s M4 chips are divided into three versions, with the low-end chip code-named Donan, the mid-range chip code-named Brava, and the high-end chip code-named Hidra.

The M4 chip will be built using the same 3nm process as the M3 chip, but Apple supplier TSMC may use an improved version of the 3nm process to improve performance and power efficiency. Apple also plans to add a vastly improved Neural Engine, increasing the number of cores used for artificial intelligence tasks.

These leaked spy photos are definitely just mockups (via This means that the final iPhone 16 series may have some differences from the spy photos, but the overall design should be roughly consistent.

It is noticed that the first thing that may catch your eye is the new camera module design of iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, which looks like it is integrated with the camera of iPhone X (iPhone X uses a vertically arranged dual camera, located on the pill shape module) and the module design of the current iPhone 15 series. Regardless of whether it looks good or not, it will definitely bring a sense of freshness.

Another noteworthy detail is the iPhone 16 Pro Max on the far left, which is significantly larger than the other models. According to rumors, it will have a 6.9-inch display, which will be the largest Pro Max model ever. For comparison, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 6.7-inch display.

Apart from that, the spy photos don’t reveal much other information.

One of the highlights of this year’s new iPhone 16 series is the elimination of the physical volume buttons and power button on both sides of the fuselage, replacing them with capacitive touch buttons. In order to enhance the user experience, a second Taptic Engine motor will be added to provide vibration feedback when the user presses the keys, achieving the goal of disappearing the physical keys on the outside of the iPhone.

Apple wants to remove the physical buttons such as volume buttons and power buttons that have been used in the iPhone for many years. It requires at least two system-in-package modules to integrate capacitive buttons and Taptic Engine motors and other related components. Large orders for related system-in-package modules are made by ASE Investment Holdings won it exclusively.

In order to meet the needs of Apple’s new designs and new orders, ASE’s Kaohsiung factory is fully expanding its production and is expected to enter the phase of heavy shipments in the third quarter.

ASE Investment Holdings has a close relationship with Apple and has many years of supply experience. According to previous reports, Apple split its orders for advanced packaging and chip foundry, becoming the first major customer of ASE’s advanced packaging production capacity.

Apple says that the spring layer is composed of an array of metal springs, and then embeds sensors such as force-sensing structures (such as strain gauges) in the spring layer. In addition, the patent also states that if necessary, foam columns and other compressible structures can be combined with Springs are interspersed together to help adjust the performance of the spring layers.

The spring layer can be made of various flexible metals, such as spring steel, nickel-chromium aluminum alloy, beryllium copper alloy, stainless steel, cobalt-nickel alloy and other spring metals. Attached relevant pictures as follows:

Apple said that the introduction of a spring layer into folding screen devices can, on the one hand, relieve the external pressure on the device in events such as impacts and extrusions, and on the other hand, it can also relieve the stress on the screen during repeated folding and unfolding. This improves the durability of foldable screen devices.

Apple believes this spring layer can relieve external pressure and prevent excessive local deformation.
