As we all know, Huawei entered the "cold winter" in 2019, the P40 series became the last 5G mobile phone in the P series, and the P40 series was born in 2020, according to which it has been 2 years now. On April 7, Huawei Mall re-listed the Huawei P40 Pro, but only 8GB+128GB was available, priced at 5988 yuan. This operation makes many people confused, spending nearly 6,000 yuan to buy a mobile phone in 2020 is worth it?

Huawei P40 Pro

Let's first take a look at the basic configuration of Huawei P40 Pro, the machine has a total of bright black, frost silver, zero degree white, deep sea blue, morning light gold five color matching, equipped with a 6.58-inch screen, resolution of 2640×1200; built-in 4200mAh battery, support 40W wired fast charge and 27W wireless fast charge; equipped with Kirin 990 5G SoC chip, support 5G + 4G dual SIM dual standby, WiFi 6+, can achieve 2.4Gbps peak air interface rate; The rear is equipped with a Leica quad camera composed of a 50-megapixel main camera + a 40-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens + a 12-megapixel telephoto lens + a 3D deep-sense lens.

From the configuration point of view alone, the competitiveness of Huawei P40 Pro is indeed not as good as that year, and the screen refresh rate of 90Hz may not be as good as that of 120Hz high-brush mobile phones, but it is still difficult to feel the difference in experience, but due to the lack of LTPO function, the battery life may not be as good as this year's flagship model. In terms of performance, the Kirin 990 chip may not be as good as the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform in terms of performance release, but the power consumption and heat generation perform well in individual scenarios, which is also enough to support the current popular mobile games.

Speaking of images, Huawei's strength in taking pictures is obvious to all, Huawei P40 Pro as a high-end flagship, its equipped with a 1/1.28-inch super-perception sensor is not outdated this year, plus full-pixel eight-core focus, OIS optical image stabilization, 5 times light change, 50 times digital zoom and other functions, can even be comparable to some of this year's flagship machines. All in all, if you value 5G+ Hongmeng, then the P40 Pro is indeed a good choice.

Generally speaking, the big update of the mobile phone system will often add some new features on the basis of fixing bugs, but if the current version of the use experience is good, and does not need new features, many people will choose to ignore this update, and there is a very small probability of "brick" risk in the mobile phone update process, which also makes many people "avoid" the update. On April 7, Apple launched the iOS 15.5 beta version, many people are still hesitating to update, and then the mobile phone China takes you to analyze the pros and cons of the new system.

Some developers found the Apple Classical App and two key buttons in the Apple Music code for the iOS 15.5 beta: "Open from Apple Classical" and "Open a new app designed for classical music." It is reported that Apple has not yet launched the "Apple Classical" app, and Apple announced the acquisition of classical music streaming service Primephonic last year, aiming to add classical music streaming services to Apple Music. It can be seen that Apple may launch a new music application, which may be built for classical music streaming services.

At the same time, foreign media 9to5Mac found in the code that the "Reader" app has added support for third-party channel payments. Apple has previously proposed to support third-party payment channels, but it has not been able to achieve it, and the beta version may be an opportunity for third-party payment. The App Store guidelines show that "external link account authorization" only applies to "reader apps", and if third-party payment is used, in-app purchases can no longer be offered using Apple's platform.

In summary, if you prefer to listen to music, especially classical music, then the iOS 15.5 beta is very suitable for you, as for the third-party payment function, it seems that it is still in the testing stage and has not yet matured, so it may not be as convenient as expected. In addition, there are rumors on the Internet that iOS 15.5 is the last major version update before iOS 16, so it is recommended that you directly update iOS 16 after waiting.

The Apple Developer Conference (WWDC) has been held since 1983 and has a history of 39 years, and the main purpose of the conference is to let Apple show the latest software and technology to developers. On April 6, Apple officially announced that WWDC22 will be held online from June 7 to 11, with the theme of "Call to code" and will showcase innovative achievements such as iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. So what's the point of this WWDC22?

Software, iOS 16 can be described as a "bombshell", throughout the past iOS system updates, to iOS 14 and iOS 15 in recent years as an example, iOS 14 added picture-in-picture, car keys, widget optimization and other new features, significantly improving the user's experience, and iOS 15 FaceTime calls, live text, look at the picture query and other functions are more comprehensive coverage of the user's daily use, so iOS 16 is one of the biggest points of WWDC22 is not exaggerated.

In terms of hardware, the new generation of MacBook Air, AirPods Pro2, the new Mac Pro may also appear in WWDC22, the call for these three new products is extremely high, but unfortunately absent at the spring new product conference in March, many people regret it. Referring to last year's WWDC21, Apple worked iOS, iPadOS, MacOS, WatchOS and other software levels, but the hardware level had no time to take care of, perhaps this year's WWDC22 will be a two-pronged approach, let us feel the ultimate black technology.
