Recently, there have been a lot of revelations about Apple's new products.
Now, more is mentioned again in the latest news.
iPhone 16 series
Recently, the topic of #iPhone16或取消实体音量键电源键# has also appeared on the hot search list.
This is different from the previous parameter revelations and appearance rendering information.
According to the leaks, Apple has ordered a large number of capacitive button components from the supplier, which will allegedly be used in the upcoming iPhone 16 series.
The order is said to be a capacitive key system-in-package (SiP) module, which will be used to integrate a capacitive assembly with two Taptic Engine motors placed on either side of the iPhone.
Apple is said to replace the existing physical buttons on both sides of the iPhone series with capacitive buttons. The new button detects the pressure of the press and provides haptic feedback to the user by generating vibrations.
In fact, this is not the first time that Apple has been announced that it will adopt capacitive buttons for the iPhone.
As early as before the release of the iPhone 15 series, it was reported that the iPhone 15 Pro will use a capacitive touch button design. It may have additional Taptic Engines on the left and right sides of the fuselage to provide force feedback. This will make the user feel as if they are pressing a physical button. This will increase the number of Taptic Engines per iPhone from 1 to 3.
However, in the subsequent development progress, the project was eventually cancelled due to unsatisfactory test results and a high hardware failure rate. Therefore, the iPhone 15 Pro series currently on sale still applies physical buttons.
At the same time, the latest revelations also mention that capacitive key components will be put into mass production in the third quarter of this year, which is a bit late for this year's iPhone iteration. Therefore, this recently revealed order may be for the iPhone 17 series, not the models that will be launched this year.
Of course, everything is subject to change before the actual arrival of the new product, and there should be more news in the future, so interested users can stay tuned.
AI capabilities
In addition to the new iteration of the iPhone series, the news about the development of Apple's AI devices has also attracted much attention.
According to a leak from sources, Apple is working on a large language model (LLM) to run on the device. This will make generative AI capabilities more responsive and better protect user privacy.
But at the same time, this kind of large language model running on the device side is not fully at the level of a product running in the cloud. Apple may make up for this with technical support from other AI service providers.
At present, Apple has discussed a potential generative AI partnership with large model companies, and plans to launch new AI features that "help users in their daily lives".
Mac & Apple Watch
The recent news also mentions the news of Apple's M-series self-developed chips.
According to the leaks, Apple may skip the M3 chip for Mac mini devices and go straight to the latest M4 chip, and bring new product launches as early as the end of this year.
Recent revelations also include renders of new Apple Watch products.
According to the leaks, the Apple Watch Series 10, which will be released this year, may change to the Apple Watch X naming scheme.
In terms of functional support, the long-awaited blood glucose monitoring function is expected to be installed. It will also bring lower power consumption and better display effects, and apply a magnetic strap connection system.
On the whole, a number of Apple's devices will be released next, and they cover a number of different brands, which one are you looking forward to?
