The leaked footage, originally shared on Chinese social media platform Weibo and later reposted on X (formerly Twitter) by leaker Majin Bu, showcases the iPhone 16 Pro in its Black Titanium finish. Here are the key takeaways from the unboxing:

Design Changes
- Slightly larger 6.3-inch display compared to the iPhone 15 Pro's 6.1-inch screen

Color Options
- Black Titanium and Desert Titanium finishes shown in the video

It's worth noting that early market data suggests higher interest in the non-Pro iPhone 16 models, possibly due to their lower price points and inclusion of new AI features.
