When many people have already fallen asleep, Apple quietly announced the autumn new product launch conference. In the early morning of August 27, Apple officially announced that the Apple special event will be held at 1 am Beijing time on September 10, which has made September look forward to it. This also means that the iPhone 16 series will officially meet global consumers, and a technology Spring Festival Gala for the AI era is about to kick off.
Unlike last year's "curiosity", this year's theme is "highlight moment", which may mean that the iPhone 16 series has brought a greater breakthrough in imaging. And this breakthrough may not be the main camera. After all, the 48-megapixel main camera has only been used for a few years. Phonefix speculates that it is at the telephoto end, which allows the telephoto of the iPhone 16 Pro Max to compete with a number of Android imaging flagships.
Of course, this highlight may also have more meanings, such as the highlights of the comprehensive upgrade of various configurations, or the bright highlights brought by the new color scheme, etc. The specific meaning may not be revealed until the press conference.
First of all, in terms of appearance design, consumers are actually used to the iPhone family-style design concept, and there is not much expectation for each generation update. In the past updates, the iPhone X Full Screen was a milestone update. After using the notch screen for several years, the introduction of the smart island is also a milestone update. This year's iPhone 16 series is likely to be designed with the smart island, which is its front. Moreover, it is basically certain that iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are still not eligible for high refresh rate. If you want to experience the smoothness of 120Hz, you must buy the iPhone 16 Pro series.
On the back, color innovation is actually more concerned. iPhone always controls color just right. The standard version has the positioning of the standard version, and the Pro series has the advanced Pro series. Judging from this year's official poster, color is still the highlight, and the standard version may bring users more choices. In addition, titanium alloy materials were introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro series last year, which made the body lightweight to the extreme. This year, it is expected to continue titanium alloy and make adjustments in color. For users, there is another choice.
In terms of models, in addition to the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro, and 16 Pro Max, there are rumors that an Ultra version will be launched this year. As for whether the Ultra version will replace the Pro Max or be higher than the Pro Max, there is no definite news yet, but no matter which one you choose, Ultra is more like a fusion of Apple's mainstream market. You can first choose an iPhone 16 Phone Case to protect your phone.
After all, there are many Ultra models on the market, such as Huawei Pura 70 Ultra, Xiaomi 14 Ultra, vivo X100 Ultra, OPPO Find X7 Ultra, Samsung S24 Ultra, etc. If you look closely, you will find that except for Apple, the top manufacturers on the market are named Ultra, which is very interesting. So if Apple brings an Ultra version this year, it's no big deal.
In terms of performance, the A18 processor is the highlight of this year, which represents the strongest processing power at present. It will adopt TSMC's 3nm process technology. The more sophisticated process also allows the number of transistors of A18 to be increased, thereby achieving a far lead in performance, and will then form the most direct competition with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8GEN4.
And it is reported that in order to bring stronger AI capabilities, the iPhone 16 series will not use the A17 Pro chip on the iPhone 15 Pro series, but will upgrade the entire series to A18. This is obviously good news for users who have higher demands for performance and AI. They no longer need to pay a high price to upgrade to experience Apple's AI.
In addition, based on Apple Intelligence, users can finally input questions to Siri, which is finally on the same path as the current AI phones, giving users an additional way to interact during use. In addition, Siri can understand and respond to more natural language, including when users stutter or change their minds when speaking. In addition, the cross-application operation feature, the functions of Apple Intelligence can be widely used in Apple and third-party applications, such as Mail, Messages, Notes, etc., as well as office software such as Keynote, Powerpoint or Word.
The iPhone 16 series will be the product that Apple will use to meet the round-robin battle of domestic manufacturers in the next year, and it is also a Dinghaishenzhen that sits firmly on the high-end without panic. Each generation of iPhone has its own mission. Although it has been criticized for lack of innovation in recent years, Apple is still in a leading position in sales, and it is difficult for domestic brands to shake it.
In the AI era that has arrived, the iPhone 16 series is also working hard to catch up, and even relying on Apple Intelligence built on A18 to achieve a straight-line overtaking of domestic manufacturers, which is exciting.
