Iphone 16 Series
Introduction
So the time has almost come for when people wait for the new launch of the all new iphone series. And this time is no different, the new iphones are about to launch in the third quarter of the year which is around september to october. And maybe this time it will be september. This time apple is bringing in all new chipsets for the iphone lineup, A-series chipsets built on the latest N3E 3-nanometer node. It will definitely come with some improvements on the efficiency and performance of the new iphones. But the pro and non pro models could use different models of the chipsets, with higher end chipsets limited only to the pro models.
And this time we will get to see the action buttons on all of the 4 models of the iphone 16 series. It won’t be like the last time we got on the iphone 15 series, where only the pro models got the action button, instead we will get the action button on all the 4 models. And a all new ‘Capture Button’ is also set to be introduced to the all new iphone 16 series and all the 4 models will be getting it. It will be very convenient to capture images and videos with the capture(shutter) button, which also can be used to focus on the subject we want.
Design
This time the iphone 16 series is designed slightly a bit different from its predecessor. Like the camera setup is changed to vertical from diagonal as it was in its previous designs, also with all new designed vertical capsule like camera bumps, with the flash being set up outside the camera bump apple has set the cameras of the iphone 16 and iphone 16 plus models in a new position and this design will help these two iphone cameras in capturing spatial videos more precisely. The iphone 16 pro and iphone 16 pro max will house the same square like design camera bumps from its previous predecessors as it will house the triple camera lens setup with lidar sensor and the flash.
All of the iphone 16 Series models will be equipped with the action button and the capture button.
The iphone 16 and iphone 16 plus will get the aluminum built frame and the iphone 16 pro and iphone 16 pro max will get the titanium built safety. Its the same with the iphone 15 models. What has changed this time is with the displays.
Display
There have been some slight changes done with the screen sizes of the two iphone 16 models, the iphone 16 pro increasing from 6.1 inches to 6.27 inches display and the iphone 16 pro max increasing from 6.7 inches to 6.86 inches. Its not much but has been a change done by apple after a long long time.
This time the iphone 16 phones could use a technology called micro – lens technology which would improve the brightness with a lot less power consumption. According to apple they have used a lot more improved material this time for the OLED displays of the iphone 16 models due to which it will be a lot more power efficient than those of its predecessors.
And according to the leaked designs the iphones will boast a slimmer bezel display than its predecessors.
Performance and Hardware
We cannot complain with any of the iphones we have previously seen or used, be it performance or battery life. And with all new designed chipsets, the iphone 16 series will be a beast of a performance. The iphone 16 and iphone 16 plus will be getting the all new A18 chipset based on 3nm technology, and the iphone 16 pro and the iphone 16 pro max will be built with the A18 Pro chipsets also based on 3 nm technology.
The iphone 16 and iphone 16 plus would be getting an upgrade of 8GB Ram and an expected upgrade of 12GB Ram for the iphone 16 pro models.
This time the base models of the iphone 16 series will also be packed with the wi-fi 6E hardware which we have seen only in the pro models of the iphones previously. So this time apple is giving an equal kind of connectivity to all the models of the iphone 16 series models which was not done with the previous iphone 15 series models.
Camera System
Placement design has been changed from diagonal to vertical for the iphone 16 and iphone 16 plus. It is said to give better angles for spatial videos which the pro models only had. And for the megapixels the iphone 16 and the iphone 16 plus models will carry a 48 megapixels main + 12 megapixels ultrawide camera setup, whereas the pro models will carry out a regular triple camera setup with 48 megapixels main + 48 megapixels ultrawide + 12 megapixels telephoto 5x lens. And a capture button on all the models to capture images and videos which would make it very convenient for the camera users.
It is also said to boasts with some new AI features.
Software Features
For the software department it will be packed with the all new IOS 18. And as it is a generation of AI, the new iphone 16 series will also boasts a lot of new AI features.
Battery
It is said that the new iphones will be coming with some changes in the battery department, each of the model is set to get an upgrade to its predecessor batteries, whereas the iphone 16 plus will be getting a downgrade.
Apple is taking this risk because of the iphone 16 pro max. Apple wants its customer to think about the pro max counterpart for its battery also, because many of the customers went for the plus model just for the pricing and the battery. So this time this change could bring some difference in the sales department for the iphone 16 pro max.
