Welcome Here  Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd.

Early this morning (10 September), Apple launched a series of new products at the 2024 autumn conference, including the iPhone 16 series and wearable product line updates, semi-in-ear noise-canceling AirPods 4, iPhone 16Pro series of hardware upgrades and AI features are very noteworthy.

iPhone 16Pro series: second-generation 3nm A18Pro chip, big image upgrades, bigger screen

What was never expected was that Apple rolled up on the bezels in these last two generations of the Pro series. The last generation of iPhone 15Pro series narrowed the bezel in the case of the overall size of the screen remains unchanged, the overall width becomes smaller, and this generation of iPhone 16Pro, Apple continues to roll the bezel, has the narrowest screen bezel of Apple products so far at the same time, but also iPhone 16Pro and Pro Max screen from 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, respectively, increased to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively.

Along with the larger screens, the overall width is exactly the same as the iPhone 14Pro Max with a slightly longer length due to the narrower bezels. Weight-wise, the iPhone 16Pro series is also slightly heavier compared to its predecessor due to the addition of some new peripheral hardware configurations, which will be mentioned below.

Aside from the screen size, one of the most noticeable changes to the exterior is the addition of a new ‘Camera Controls’ interaction button (not a millimetre-wave antenna, really) on the right side of the device, just below the power button. It's a long, sapphire glass and stainless steel button, similar to the iPhone 7's home button, that uses pressure sensors and a tap engine to provide haptic feedback similar to a camera's mechanical shutter, and a multi-pixel capacitive sensor and signal processor underneath the sapphire glass, which recognises touch gestures, such as left and right swipes, and so on. .

In terms of performance, the iPhone 16Pro series is equipped with the A18 Pro chip, using the second generation of 3nm process, the CPU is 2 performance cores + 4 energy-efficient core architecture, compared to the previous generation of the A17Pro speed increase of 15%, energy consumption reduced by 20%, compared to the standard version of the iPhone 16 series of the A18 has a larger cache, the overall total system memory bandwidth increased by nearly 20%, the most ever. the most in iPhone's history. This CPU also features a new generation of machine learning accelerators to enable high-performance, high-throughput, low-latency computing.

To support Apple's AI capabilities, the A18Pro integrates a 16-core NPU with up to 35 trillion operations per second, faster and more efficient, with a 17 per cent increase in memory bandwidth compared to its predecessor, and co-designed with Apple Intelligence to deliver up to 15 per cent faster speeds compared to the A17Pro in running Apple Intelligence's features.

The A18 Pro also uses a new 6-core GPU with the same architecture as the desktop-class M-series processors, which is 20 per cent faster compared to the A17Pro, with support for ray tracing and dynamic caching.

Compared to the A18, the A18 Pro also has some exclusive IP, including a new display engine that supports all-weather display, ProMotion, USB3, ProRes video capture, etc., plus a new video encoder and a new ISP. the new video encoder and the new ISP work in tandem to increase the image sensor's data processing power by two times that of its predecessor, which also brings a big upgrade in image The new video encoder and the new ISP work together to increase the image sensor's data processing power by two times that of the previous generation, which also brings about a major upgrade in image capabilities.

Firstly, the image sensor hardware has been upgraded, with a second-generation 4-in-1 48-megapixel sensor for the main camera, second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilisation, support for 24-megapixel and 48-megapixel ultra-high-resolution photos, and 12-megapixel 2x telephoto support too. Apple says it has used an innovative camera architecture to quickly and efficiently transfer data from the sensor to the chip, and this 48-megapixel sensor reads data twice as fast as its predecessor, shooting 48-megapixel ProRAW and HEIF photos with zero shutter lag, and even enabling 4K 120 fps Dolby Vision video recording

The ultra wide-angle is the same 4-in-1 48-megapixel sensor with macro and autofocus support, while the telephoto is a 12-megapixel, quadruple prism periscope head with 5x optical zoom, which this time, unlike the iPhone 15Pro lineup, is the same telephoto on the 16Pro and 16ProMax.

Determined to make the iPhone Pro series a ‘cinematography device’, Apple has equipped the iPhone 16Pro series with four new studio-quality microphones that retain realistic recorded sound, capture video with spatial audio, and support in-frame mixing that separates out human voices from the frame for a cinematic recording. separated out for a cinematic recording effect.

Of course, can record 4K120fps ProRes and Log format video, Pro series starting 128GB storage capacity is not enough to see, Apple is also very ‘conscientious’ to support external recording, you can external hard drive to record video.

The much-criticised heat dissipation problem this time in the iPhone 16 Pro series to follow the A18Pro chip has also been resolved to some extent, Apple has made changes in the body architecture, based on the previous generation of graphite layer aluminium metal sub-structure, so that the sustained performance of up to 20%.

The iPhone 16 Pro series is available in four colourways - Black Titanium, White Titanium, Desert Titanium and Original Titanium. In terms of pricing, the iPhone 16 Pro storage 128GB version is priced at Rs. 7,999 with support for up to 1TB of storage at Rs. 12,999. iPhone 15 Pro Max storage starts at 256GB and is priced from Rs. 9,999, with the 1TB storage version priced at Rs. 13,999. Pre-orders will open on 13 September and go on sale from 20 September.
