Good morning! As usual, Tim Cook started the Apple event with his signature greeting. This year, however, Cook placed a strong emphasis on AI, introducing terms like 'Apple Intelligence' and 'Machine Learning' right from the start. This clearly signals Apple's commitment to AI. The new iPhone 16 series is the first iPhone to fully embrace AI. Let's take a first look at the upgrades in the iPhone 16 Pro Series.
1. For the first time ever, the first iPhone designed for AI
With Cook's announcement that this new generation of iPhones is 'built for Apple Intelligence', a new chapter in Apple's history has been written. While the highly anticipated Apple Intelligence feature won't be available at launch, it's set to roll out next month, initially limited to US English. Apple has confirmed that Apple Intelligence will gradually support more languages. In December, English dialects in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the UK will be among the first to access the feature. Apple plans to expand support to other languages like Chinese, French, Japanese, and Spanish in 2025.
2. More professional imaging functions
For the Pro models, Apple has once again delivered significant upgrades to the camera system. This year, all three camera lens have received enhancements, not only for better photo quality but also for video capabilities where Apple has always excelled. The fusion camera features a 48MP 'fused' sensor with second-generation quad-pixel technology, supporting 48MP ProRAW and HEIF photo formats and achieving zero-shutter-lag.
The ultra-wide camera has seen a major upgrade, with a bump from 12MP to 48MP, coupled with a quad-pixel sensor with autofocus and a widened aperture from f/4.4 to f/2.2, allowing for significantly improved low-light performance.
3. Camera Control buttons
Below the iPhone's lock screen button, a new camera-like button has been added. With this "Camera Control," you can easily: Press to launch the camera app Single-click to take a photo Long-press to start recording a video Tap and slide to zoom Double-tap to switch between other camera settings: exposure, depth of field, camera, style, tone Camera Control can also be used with third-party apps.
4. A18 Pro with more performance and lower power consumption
This year, there's a significant change in the processor. Both the standard and Pro models are equipped with Apple's latest A18 chip. The A18 Pro maintains a configuration of 6 CPU cores and 6 GPU cores. The 6-core GPU offers a 20% performance boost over the A17 Pro and supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing up to twice as fast as the previous generation. The 6-core CPU delivers a 15% performance improvement over the A17 Pro while consuming 20% less power, making it "the fastest CPU in any smartphone," according to Apple. Built for AI, the A18 Pro also features a 16-core neural engine, providing a 15% improvement in Apple Intelligence capabilities compared to the previous generation.
Previous iPhones have often been limited by their thermal performance, hindering the sustained performance of their powerful chips. This year, the iPhone 16 Pro series introduces a new metal thermal structure and optimized glass backplate. Apple claims this design delivers up to a 20% improvement in sustained performance compared to the iPhone 15 Pro.
5. Bigger size, longer battery life
Both Pro models have seen an increase in screen size. The iPhone 16 Pro has grown from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max has expanded to 6.9 inches, making it the largest iPhone yet. Coupled with narrower bezels, the iPhone 16 Pro offers a more immersive display. With optimized internal space, the iPhone 16 Pro can accommodate a larger battery. Combined with the A18 Pro chip's improved energy efficiency, the iPhone 16 Pro Max offers up to 33 hours of video playback, while the iPhone 16 Pro delivers up to 27 hours.
6. New colors
The rumored "Desert Titanium" for the Pro models has finally been unveiled. It's a shade deeper than the previous "Champagne Gold," leaning towards brown or deep khaki. It's arguably Apple's most understated and luxurious gold yet, and is the highlight color for the iPhone 16 Pro this year.
