It is clear that this presentation was key to Apple: had to demonstrate that new artificial intelligence functions and others iPhone 16 updates are worth it. Apple also needs to convince investors that it has not fallen behind in the “arms race” artificial intelligenceas its rivals have already launched similar features with the new technology.
The biggest problem is that, since the launch of the iPhone 12 with 5G connectivity in 2020, the Cupertino company has given customers little reason to buy the latest generation of its phones. Cameras, in general, have greatly advanced to the point where they are sufficient for most people’s needs, we no longer have a hard time perceiving higher screen resolutions, The power of microchips is beginning to be subordinated to AI, Fast charging is almost non-negotiable, as is a good batteryAnd Apple hasn’t improved much in these areas.
This is the new iPhone 16
With all this said, the curtain opens and iPhone 16 arrives. The first thing that is certain is that this family will be the most divided in history: there will be a European edition and another for the United States due to the privacy and antitrust laws of the EU that, among other things, They have also made it possible for European users to install third-party app stores such as AltStore, which will allow them to easily reintroduce Fortnite on their iPhones.
So let’s talk about what brings us together: iPhone 16 base model specs. Regarding the presence of its much-mentioned capture button (it acts as a camera shutter), as expected, this model… The screen is 6.1 inches and the bezels seem thinnerwhich makes the screen appear larger.
The screen material is part of a set of materials supplied by Samsung with an improved panel that would replace the blue fluorescent technology with blue phosphorescent technology, a move that would apparently improve the energy efficiency of the iPhone’s display. Game mode has also been improved to process high-quality images and games.
The action button allows you to perform tasks directly, such as translating, identifying a song or opening an application. Regarding the microchip and as is also customary, this model has an A18 brain with 3 nanometer technology (30% faster than the previous generation), 8GB RAM (a slight increase) and up to 256GB of storage.
What about the battery? Tim Cook has not specified the milliamp hours it has, but it is said to be around 3,600 mAh. Obviously, it comes with a USB-C charger and the ability to send messages via satellite.
The main camera remains at 48 MPa 12 MP telephoto lens and a 12 MP wide-angle front camera. The main cameras share information to create better images and merge the best of each lens and resolution. All this from 800 euros.
