hello. This is Technologytodaynow. In about a week from now, the new iPhone 16 series will be introduced at Apple’ s event. There’s a lot of news out there, but in this post, we’re going to talk about the iPhone 16 Pro, which is expected to have the most changes.
iPhone 16 Pro, powerful performance and new features
Slightly larger and brighter display than previous models
This year’s iPhone 16 Pro lineup will reportedly feature a larger display than its predecessor. The iPhone 16 Pro will be 6.3 inches larger than its predecessor, up from 6.1. It’s a very slight increase, but this will allow for an increased battery and more room for a tetra-prism lens. In an era where the majority of media consumption is done on smartphones, a slightly larger display will be more satisfying to users. In addition, OLED panels with micro-lens array technology are expected to improve power efficiency and further increase brightness.
iPhone 16 Pro with improved overheating
One performance feature that the iPhone 16 Pro is known to focus on is superior thermal management.
As I mentioned in my previous post, the most anticipated improvement for iPhone 15 Pro users in the U.S. is thermal improvements, and Apple has changed the battery material for the new iPhone 16 Pro series, as well as the graphene heat sink itself, which is expected to dramatically reduce heat generation compared to its predecessor.
A 18 with Pro chipset
The iPhone 16 Pro is expected to feature the A18 Pro chipset, produced on the N3E 3-nanometer process that Apple specifically ordered from TSMC. The performance of the neural engine, which is specifically designed to power Apple’s intelligence, is rumored to surpass that of the M4 chipset.
Camera performance
One of the things we’re most excited about with the iPhone 16 Pro series is the camera. The iPhone 16 Pro camera, which is at the heart of what separates the regular lineup from the Pro lineup, features a 48MP sensor with an ultra-wide-angle camera, which is expected to be a significant upgrade for photo and video shooting. In addition, optical 5x zoom is finally available on the Pro model, thanks to a tetraprism lens that was previously available on the Pro Max. In addition, the 7-element lens coated with a new technology is expected to dramatically reduce ghosting.
Battery performance
One of the things many of you have been asking for is a battery that doesn’t heat up and lasts longer, and this year’s iPhone 16 Pro series is said to have a completely new inverted L-shaped battery redesign, with a new sintering process and larger, higher-density stacked battery technology, which is said to dramatically improve performance and longevity. Those of you who have been struggling with batteries may want to take note.
Equipped with a capture button
The capture button on the iPhone 16 Pro is said to be simply a camera shutter button.
It will reportedly allow you to swipe left and right to zoom in and out on a subject, press it like a half-shutter to focus on a subject, press hard to start recording, and more.
For those of you who shoot a lot with your iPhones, this will be a useful feature that will set the series apart from others.
Estimated price
The iPhone 16 Pro could see a $100 increase, bringing it to $1,099. However, it is unlikely that the price will actually increase as the base storage will be upgraded from 128GB to 256GB. However, if this does happen, the price of the iPhone in South Korea, which is heavily influenced by the dollar exchange rate, is expected to be in line with last year’s starting price of 1.7 million won.
Release schedule
Recently, there are reports that the pre-order date in Europe will be September 12, a day earlier, but in Korea, the pre-orders will start on September 13, and the first batch of pre-orders will be available on September 19-20, and in the case of SKT, the general sale will start on September 19. As the initial release schedule is accelerating, it is recommended that those who want to purchase the iPhone 16 Pro series should decide how much capacity they want in advance.
