iPhone 16: few new features, but not because of Apple!

Spread the love

Apple has just unveiled its new iPhone 16  to come from here the next few days. These are proving to be quite stingy with new products in Europe, but Apple has nothing to do with it.

If you were waiting for the iPhone 16 like the messiah, you might be surprised. Apple took advantage of its latest keynote on Monday, September 9 to unveil in detail its new iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. While the evening was rich in announcements, those concerning the firm's new smartphones presented several new features that will not be available at their launch with us.

What are the new features of the iPhone 16 ?

This year, here we go again: Apple is presenting four iPhone models. First, we find the classic iPhone 16 as well as the iPhone 16 Plus, which take up most of the elements of the previous iPhone 15 Pro and are therefore equipped with the “action” button. The latter can be configured to launch the shortcut or application of your choice. It is even possible to launch an instant translation!

But the iPhone 16 doesn't just have one new button. Below the On/Off, you'll also find the new “capture” button. The latter is not physical but haptic. So understand that you won't be able to press it hard, like the main button on older iPhones that could only be “activated”. This “capture” button allows you to use the iPhone 16 like a classic camera by pressing it to take a photo. You can also do a “double tap” above to open the camera options or slide your finger to adjust the zoom. This should prove very practical in everyday life!

The other design change comes from the cameras of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. The latter now have two sensors placed vertically as was the case for the old iPhone 11 or 12. This allows in particular the iPhone 16 to shoot spatial videos that can be viewed with an Apple Vision Pro headset.

As has been the case for several years now, the iPhone 16 Plus has the same new features as the classic iPhone 16, but in a larger format and with a better battery than its basic counterpart.

On the power side, the iPhone 16 is equipped with of the new A18 chip which would be a jump of 15 to 20% in power compared to the previous generation according to Apple. However, it will be necessary to test this on games and demanding operations to verify it.

Apple spent most of its evening highlighting its artificial intelligence called “Apple Intelligence” and directly integrated into the iPhone 16. Unfortunately, the latter will not be available in Europe at its launch due to European regulations. Apple has already announced that its AI will only be available in English in 2024 and will offer other languages ​​next year.

What's new in the iPhone 16 Pro ?

In addition to the classic iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus, Apple spent a large part of its keynote on Monday, September 9, unveiling the new iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The latter first take up the new features of the first two models, but add a few exclusives to encourage their purchase.

First off, the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are larger than their predecessors with screens ranging from 6.3 to 6.9 inches for Apple's largest iPhone ever. Four colors are also announced with black, white, natural gray and sand gold.

Still on the design front, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are equipped with a new A18 Pro chip for an increase of almost 20% in performance compared to the chip that equips the iPhone 15 Pro.

Côté camera, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are equipped with an additional photo module. The latter goes from 12 ' 48MP for the ultra wide angle and a better focal length. You should therefore capture more light and small details compared to the sensor that equips the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. Optical zooms will be able to go up to x5.

For video, Apple announced that its iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will be compatible with LOG mode to be able to export your footage and edit it more easily with your favorite software. It will also be possible to film in 4K quality with 120 FPS for maximum fluidity. !

What are the prices of the iPhone 16 ?

Many consumers and Apple fans feared a price increase from the firm, but this is not the case! The prices are the same as for the previous generation which was already down compared to the iPhone 14. You're lost ? Here are the prices of the iPhone 16 in France:
