iPhone 16: Apple May Trade ‘Dynamic Island’ for New Hole Punch Cutout
It’s only been two months since Apple released the iPhone 15 series, and already the rumor mill is churning out speculations about the iPhone 16 Pro. Now, the latest rumor comes from an iPhone 16 Pro with a punch hole — which could essentially replace the Dynamic Island feature that debuted on the iPhone 14 Pro and is now present across the entire iPhone 15 lineup, even the vanilla models. .
An Apple insider @MajinBuOfficial on X (formerly Twitter) said Apple is testing a punch-hole version of the iPhone 16 Pro, but it hasn’t been finalized yet. He says the decision will depend on what happens in March 2024. He added that we probably won’t see a perforated iPhone until the iPhone 17.

However, this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, as it is too early to predict what will happen to the iPhone 16 Pro. It is likely that Apple is only testing the said iPhone, and it may or may not be released in the near future.
Also, if you think about it, Apple isn’t known for abandoning a heavily marketed feature after only a few years of implementation. In addition, iOS has also been modified accordingly, with features now built around it. So it may be a while before we see the iPhone move past Dynamic Island in favor of something more subtle and something smaller.
The next major iPhones are expected in September, but the iPhone 15 series is fairly new, and you can easily buy the models now without paying a market premium over the MRP. We reported on the black marketing of the new iPhone 15 Pro models in September, when the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max were sold for around Rs 20,000 above the MRP. The situation has gradually improved as more stocks have arrived, and the initial hype has faded.
