Foreign media summarized the changes in the configuration of the iPhone 16/16 Plus, the A18 chip improves AI performance, and the new camera button is in the list
Not surprisingly, there is less than half a year before Apple's autumn new product launch conference, and according to the "convention" of the progress of iPhone phone leaks in previous years, the current relevant revelations about iPhone 16 series mobile phones have high reference value. Recently, foreign media MacRumors also summarized the configuration upgrades and changes of the iPhone 16/16 Plus.
Compared with the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max, the iPhone 16/16 Plus upgrade is still inevitably suspected of "squeezing toothpaste", and all signs indicate that the high screen has not been dropped, and the iPhone 16/16 Plus is still 6.1/6.7-inch 60Hz refresh rate OLED "Dynamic Island" screen, so according to the available information, the measurements of the two models have hardly changed, but according to the media, or due to the upgrade of some internal components, the iPhone 16/16 Plus has slightly increased the weight of the body by 2g compared with the previous generation, to 173/203g.
Compared to the front of the iPhone 16/16 Plus, which is nothing new, the back and side buttons have changed slightly. Among them, the back no longer adopts a square diagonal arrangement of dual camera schemes, but returns to the vertical arrangement and further reduces the area of the lens group. At the same time, the two models no longer use the traditional mute paddle, but instead use the same operation button as the Pro series, and also add a shooting button.
Compared to the non-innovative appearance, the iPhone 16/16 Plus has a relatively obvious upgrade on the inside. In terms of processors, according to the latest leaks, it will be equipped with a new A18 series chip, which is reported to have a significant improvement in AI performance, and will support more AI-related functions with the new iOS 18. At the same time, in terms of battery capacity, the iPhone 16 will be increased to 3561mAh, but the iPhone 16 Plus may not be upgraded but will be reduced to 4006mAh. But in terms of charging rate, the latest leaks show that the iPhone 16/16 Plus will support wired charging speeds of up to 40W, although this has long been commonplace for the Android camp, but it is still a big improvement for the iPhone with a conservative charging rate, and MagSafe's fast charging specification will also be increased to a maximum of 20W.
In keeping with Apple's tradition, Apple's fall launch event will be held in September, and the four new iPhone 16 series devices will also lead the new product launches at this conference.
