Webmaster's Home (ChinaZ.com) September 10 News: At 1 a.m. on September 10, Apple held an autumn new product launch conference in the spotlight, officially releasing the highly anticipated iPhone16 series, and at the same time unveiled new products such as AirPods4 and Apple Watch S10. The conference not only showcased Apple's latest technological innovations, but also brought a number of hardware upgrades.
The iPhone 16 Pro series inherits the design of its predecessor while also making bold innovations. The body is made of grade 5 titanium alloy, which not only enhances durability and strength, but also reduces weight. The new series is available in four colors: black titanium, white titanium, primary titanium, and desert titanium, to meet the individual needs of consumers. In terms of internal structure, an aluminum alloy frame and enhanced heat dissipation materials are used to improve heat dissipation performance by 20%. In terms of performance, the iPhone16Pro series is equipped with the A18Pro chip, which uses the second-generation 3nm process, which improves performance and GPU performance by 15% and 20% respectively, and supports hardware ray tracing technology.
In terms of screen, the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro series has increased, with the iPhone 16 Pro being increased from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max being increased from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches, making the latter the largest iPhone in Apple's history. Both models come with Dynamic Island, ProMotion technology, True Tone, and 2000 nits of peak brightness. In terms of imaging system, it adopts a 48-million-pixel fusion main camera and ultra-wide-angle lens, and the telephoto lens of the iPhone 16 Pro has been upgraded to 5 times, supporting 4K120 frame shooting and Dolby video shooting.
The iPhone 16 Pro series also adds capacitive buttons to provide a convenient operation experience. In terms of price, the iPhone 16 Pro offers 128GB to 1TB storage options, with prices ranging from 7,999 yuan to 12,999 yuan. The iPhone 16 Pro Max offers storage options ranging from 256GB to 1TB, with prices ranging from 9,999 yuan to 13,999 yuan. The pre-sale of the two models will start at 20:00 on September 13 and will be officially released on September 20.
The iPhone 16 series continues Apple's minimalist style and introduces three new colors: ultramarine, dark cyan and pink. The fuselage is made of aircraft-grade aluminum and the new Ceramic Shield material, which has been increased by 50%. The screen sizes remain the same at 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, respectively. The iPhone 16 series has a dual-camera system that supports spatial video recording, a main camera of up to 48 million pixels, and a 2x telephoto lens. In addition, the iPhone 16 series is also equipped with the A18 chip, which improves performance by 30%, reduces power consumption by 30%, increases GPU performance by 40%, and supports Apple AI technology.
The pre-sale of the iPhone 16 series will also start at 20:00 on September 13, and the official release date is September 20. In terms of price, the iPhone 16 offers 128GB, 256GB and 512GB versions, priced at 5999 yuan, 6999 yuan and 8999 yuan respectively; The iPhone 16Plus offers the same storage options, priced at 6999 yuan, 7999 yuan, and 9999 yuan respectively.
In terms of processors, the A18 series chips are equipped on both the iPhone 16 Pro series and the iPhone 16 series. The A18Pro chip uses TSMC's next-generation N3P3nm process, which improves performance by 10% and reduces power consumption by 16%. The CPU core configuration is 6 cores, including 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, and integrates the next generation of ML machine learning accelerators. GPU performance has been improved by 20 percent, the neural network unit has been maintained in a 16-core configuration, and the memory bandwidth has been increased by 17 percent. The A18Pro also supports advanced technologies such as ProMotion display, always-on display, USB3 interface, and ProRes video recording.
Although the performance of the A18 chip is slightly inferior to that of the A18Pro, it still uses TSMC's N3E process, which provides stable performance and efficient energy efficiency. The CPU core is also configured with 6 cores, and the performance is improved by 30% compared to the previous generation A16, and the GPU performance is also significantly improved. Neural network units are optimized for large generative models and can speed up machine learning by up to 2x. The memory bandwidth is increased by 17%, the power consumption is reduced by 30% compared to the A16, and the power consumption is reduced by 35% at the same performance, providing users with longer battery life.
