Apple's iPhone has always been the focus of the tech and digital world, and every year, new product launches attract the attention and discussion of users around the world. However, recently, a well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in the latest ** report that Apple will not launch a new iPhone with a large design change with generative AI applications until 2025 at the earliest. In other words, this year's iPhone 16 is still in lazy mode, and next year's iPhone 17 will have a big upgrade.
At present, there have been a lot of revelations about the iPhone 16 series on the Internet, so let's briefly summarize it and take a look at how much toothpaste it squeezes.
Vertical dual camera: I heard that for the "space ** shooting" function, the dual cameras of the iPhone 16 will return to the arms of the vertical row.
action button: The mute switch of these two models has also changed, no longer a segmented design, but like last year's iPhone 15 Pro model, with an Action button3, which can be tapped and repressed to achieve different actions, such as switching silent mode, starting Siri, taking screenshots, etc. However, this button still maintains a mechanical design, and does not use the previous ** capacitive design.
A18 chip: This time the chip is no longer a "backward student", but compared with the Pro version, it is still a little brother.
8GB RAM: Keep up with the pace of Pro, and the backend retention ability has been improved.
Thermal design: The whole series uses graphite heat dissipation, and the battery of the Pro model is also blessed with a metal shell.
Uncertain high brush: The high-brush panel seems to be a flash in the pan, and it is now back to 60Hz, and we can only wait and see what will happen in the end.
The screen is enlarged: This year's Pro series screens are a bit larger, respectively 63 inches and 69 inches.
Take a photo button: This new button is hidden under the power button, touch to focus, and press lightly and heavily to achieve focus and shutter functions.
Stacked battery technology: The rumored stacked battery technology can bring more battery capacity and longer battery life.
A18 Pro chip: The performance has been significantly improved, with single-core and multi-core improvements of about 20% and 13%, respectively.
New imaging system: The main camera has been upgraded to the IMX903 sensor, and the ultra-wide-angle camera has also been upgraded with 48 million pixels.
5g advanced: Equipped with a Qualcomm X75 modem, it supports faster and more power-efficient 5G connections.
wi-fi 7: Faster speeds and lower latency, while the standard version is Wi-Fi 6e.
ios 18 & ai: Cook hinted that AI will be a blockbuster upgrade for iOS 18, so let's wait and see what surprises WWDC24 will bring.
As for the 45W wired fast charging, we still need more information to confirm. However, to be honest, the charging speed of the iPhone does need to be accelerated.
After reading this information, do you think the upgrade of the iPhone 16 series is enough? Isn't it a little tempted again? Of course, if you feel that the iPhone 16 series upgrade is still not enough to make you excited, or you have a limited budget, then you can also choose to wait, because according to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo**, Apple will not launch a new iPhone with a large design change with generative AI apps until 2025 at the earliest. In other words, the iPhone 17 will have a big upgrade, and there may be more surprises and innovations at that time, and maybe then you will really want to change your phone.
Stacked battery technology: A new type of battery structure design that can increase the battery capacity in a limited space.
Thermal design: Refers to the design of a device that improves the heat dissipation efficiency through specific materials and structures.
5g advanced: An advanced version of the 5G network, offering higher speeds and lower power consumption.
wi-fi 6e/7: Wi-Fi 6E is an extended band version of Wi-Fi 6, while Wi-Fi 7 is a new generation of Wi-Fi technology standards.
ai: Artificial intelligence, which refers to technology that enables machines to simulate intelligent human behavior.
