iPhone 16: Design, Price, Release Date, And More
Apple is expected to release their next-generation iPhone 16 models sometime in 2024, featuring faster chips, larger sizes, improved cameras and possibly even a new button. They may feature A-series processors designed using their N3E node of 3-nanometer technology, which may offer some performance and efficiency gains; details remain to be determined at this time.
The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 could feature different chips; higher-end chips would likely only be limited to Pro models. We expect some significant upgrades compared to iPhone 15. Here are all the major rumors and reports.
iPhone 16: Release Date
As is typically the case, Apple will unveil and release their iPhone 16 line sometime during fall 2024, though we could see any number of delays and surprises occurring between now and then. Current estimates put their release in September.

iPhone 16: Price
Apple was able to absorb increased production costs with iPhone 15, as component prices for it were the highest in 2024; thus indicating we may see an increase in all models of iPhone 16 in terms of pricing; though exactly how much could change remains unknown.
iPhone 16: Design
MacRumors reports that the design most likely for use on the iPhone 16 will feature a capacitive action button, mechanical volume controls and a new “Capture button.” Both the 16 Plus and iPhone 16 should remain similar in size to their previous iterations, but Pro models may grow larger; reports state the iPhone 16 Pro display may increase from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches while 6 Pro Max displays should grow even larger from 6.7-9 inches.
Apple is reported to use micro-lending technology in their OLED displays on iPhone 16. This could result in improved brightness and energy efficiency; MacRumors reported that its new Capture button may mimic that of high-end cameras.
iPhone 16: Specifications
Apple will likely adopt a less expensive process to produce standard A17 chips for use in its iPhone 16 models, while the Qualcomm Snapdragon modem will provide faster 5G connectivity on the Pro model. As for base model devices, they could utilize Qualcomm chips similar to what exists currently in iPhone 15 for their processor and may feature Wi-Fi 7 technology that offers speeds of up to 40Gb/s.
iPhone 16: Updates and Software
Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference, an event held every summer that showcases new software releases, will coincide with the iPhone 16 line’s introduction. We can therefore expect iOS 18 to arrive alongside this model later that Fall – featuring AI-powered features like enhanced Siri interactions, Apple Music playlist generation and integration with productivity apps.

iPhone 16: Battery Life
Rumor has it that the iPhone 16 Pro may boast improved battery life as the technology used to stack batteries will likely be implemented, potentially providing higher capacities and longer lifespans with this method. Furthermore, 20W MagSafe charging rates could also improve substantially due to this change.
iPhone 16: Cameras
Apple could soon upgrade the camera on their iPhone 16 Pro Max and Pro models, featuring an ultrawide 48MP camera, to replace its 12MP current version on iPhone 15 Pro models. Such an upgrade would deliver higher-detail images even in low light situations.

Booze Bandits Busted: High-End Hooch Heist in Ventura County
In a scene straight out of a Hollywood heist movie, two L.A. residents decided to quench their thirst for the finer things in life by helping themselves to thousands of dollars worth of top-shelf liquor from Ventura County stores. But their grand plan to stock up on the good stuff went down about as smoothly as a shot of cheap tequila.
John Daniel Johnson, 37, and Dhati Mack Conley, 34, thought they’d hit the jackpot when they waltzed into a Target store in Thousand Oaks on June 12. Little did they know, their shopping spree was about to come to an abrupt end.
As they were loading up on bottles that probably cost more than most people’s weekly grocery bill, eagle-eyed security crews spotted the pair. Faster than you can say “last call,” our not-so-smooth criminals made a dash for it.
But their getaway was about as successful as trying to open a wine bottle with your teeth. Deputies caught up with them as they were peeling out of the parking lot, putting the brakes on their boozy adventure.
When the cops popped the trunk, it was like they’d stumbled upon a millionaire’s liquor cabinet. We’re talking about $5,000 worth of high-end hooch, lifted from both Target and Ralphs. Talk about expensive taste!
Now, Johnson and Conley are facing felony charges for organized retail theft. And given their rap sheets are longer than a cocktail menu, a judge slapped them with a $200,000 bail. Looks like they’ll be trading in their top-shelf dreams for some jailhouse pruno.
The Ventura County Organized Retail Theft Task Force is on the case, determined to keep sticky fingers out of store shelves. They’re asking anyone with info to give them a ring at 805-383-8703. Or, if you prefer to keep it on the down-low, you can always drop an anonymous tip to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers.
Remember folks, crime doesn’t pay – but it sure can cost you a pretty penny.

‘State of … terror’. Man testifies about fatal stabbing of gay classmate in Foothill Ranch
The man charged with the alleged hate-crime fatal stabbing of a former gay classmate in Foothill Ranch testified Thursday he was high on marijuana when he realized the victim had unbuckled the defendant’s pants and was touching him before the attack.
Samuel Lincoln Woodward, 26, is charged with the Jan. 3, 2018, killing of 19-year-old Blaze Bernstein.
Testifying in his own defense, Woodward said that after the pair had reconnected and were talking on Snapchat, Woodward suggested getting together, so Bernstein sent him his address where Woodward picked him up. The two then went to nearby Borrego Park, where Woodward opened a sleeping bag stuffed with snacks, drinks and marijuana, he testified.
Woodward said he took a “couple of puffs” of a heady strain of marijuana that relaxed the nervous defendant.
“I continued to tune in and out” under the influence, Woodward said.
He said the marijuana helped distract him from “how ridiculous I must have looked,” explaining that others had viewed him as behaving outrageously while under the influence.
Woodward, who has been diagnosed as autistic, testified earlier about his difficulty in developing romantic relationships or friendships, and about his difficulty communicating with others. The long, shaggy-haired and bearded defendant often looked down as he testified, prompting his attorney, Ken Morrison of the Orange County Public Defender’s Office to remind him to get the hair out of his face or to look up.
Woodward testified Thursday that he felt something on his leg, making him think he perhaps had urinated on himself as he had done in the past while under the influence of the strong strain of marijuana.
Woodward felt himself “nodding off” as the feeling persisted, but then, “I snapped open and I literally looked right next to myself. I saw a hand on my crotch with my pants unbuckled.”
Opening statements in the trial of Samuel Woodward are expected to begin Tuesday more than six years after he was arrested for the stabbing death of his former classmate, Blaze Bernstein. NBC Los Angeles’ Hetty Chang reports.
He added, “I looked right up and (Bernstein) had his phone in his hand. … His hand was in the innermost area of my thigh.”
Woodward, who had been staring downward, was cajoled by Morrison to make eye contact with the defense attorney. He admitted it was “very difficult” to talk about Bernstein touching his private parts.
“Sam, please look at me,” Morrison said. “Do you believe Blaze Bernstein deserved to die that night?”
“No,” Woodward said.
The defendant said he “came undone” as he realized Bernstein was touching him as they were lying on the ground at the park.
“I went into a state of … terror,” he said. “I remember just asking, `What are you doing? … I just remember asking again and again what are you doing?”
Bernstein said “something like calm down … or it’s not a big deal,” Woodward testified. “All I remember is him telling me something that sounded like ‘`’It’s already done,’ and ‘I got you, I got you.'”
Woodward will continue testifying Thursday afternoon.

Kourtney Kardashian reveals son’s rare lung condition and emergency surgery
Kourtney Kardashian recently opened up about the harrowing health scare that threatened her pregnancy with son Rocky. In a candid revelation on “The Kardashians,” the 45-year-old reality star shared details of the rare condition that led to her emergency fetal surgery last September.
“We had a terrifying scare,” Kardashian confessed, her voice tinged with residual worry. The culprit? An unusual accumulation of fluid in Rocky’s developing lungs. “It’s super rare — the condition that he had — but it’s also super rare and lucky that we caught it,” she added, gratitude evident in her tone.
Despite the initial success of the surgery, Kardashian’s relief was short-lived. The fluid began to return, plunging the expectant mother into a fresh wave of anxiety. It was then that an unexpected source offered a glimmer of hope: a documentary about the power of positive thinking.
Inspired, Kardashian embarked on a daily ritual of talking to her unborn child and offering heartfelt prayers. Whether through medical intervention, maternal determination, or perhaps a touch of cosmic intervention, the fluid issue resolved completely.
Meanwhile, Travis Barker, Kardashian’s husband and Rocky’s father, wrestled with his own concerns. “I don’t want him to come out early,” Barker was overheard saying as the couple prepared for the birth. “I want to make sure his lungs are perfect — everything’s perfect.”
Rocky Thirteen Barker made his grand entrance on November 1st, healthy and whole. Now, ensconced in what she calls her “blissful baby bubble,” Kardashian reflects on the tumultuous journey with a mixture of relief and joy. “It’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of,” she shared, her words carrying the weight of hard-won happiness.
In the end, the Kardashian-Barker family’s story serves as a poignant reminder that even amid celebrity and privilege, the path to parenthood can be fraught with very human fears and triumphs.
