Today, two entries about the iPhone 16 appeared in the hot search on Weibo. One of them is the exposure of the price of the #iPhone 16 Bank of China#, according to the well-known whistleblower LeaksApplePro, the starting price of this year's iPhone 16 Pro is still $999 (from 7999 yuan in China).
At the same time, the starting storage of the machine has also been upgraded to 256GB, so this is a one-time increase without a price increase. And Pro Max started at 256GB last year, not an increase, but simply removed the 128GB version, and the starting price of the national version at that time was 9999 yuan.
After the standard configuration was upgraded to 256GB, the maximum storage was also increased to 2TB. The price difference between the 512GB-1TB of last year's iPhone 15 Pro series was 2,000 yuan, and if the price difference between 1TB and 2TB this year is still the same, the price of the top configuration may rush to 16,000......
The second is that #iPhone 16 may become bald#, just looking at the entry, I thought it was Apple to cancel the iPhone 16 screen top cutout. Click in and take a look, it turned out to be that the iPhone 16 series may want to cancel the physical volume button and power button and replace it with a capacitive button.
This type of button simulates the physical pressure sensation by detecting the pressure and providing vibration feedback with the Taptic Engine motor. The home button on the current iPhone SE is a similar design, and Apple may add an additional motor to enhance the experience.
In addition, MacRumors, a foreign technology media, recently summarized 15 changes to the base model of the iPhone 16, as well as 30 optimizations to the 16 Pro series. Among them, there are several more important upgrades, such as the use of Action buttons throughout the system, and the addition of photo buttons.
There are also upgraded 40W wired fast charging and 20W MagSafe charging across the range, and the battery capacity has been increased except for the Plus (Plus does not go up but down). In addition, the base model will be equipped with an A18 chip, 8GB of RAM, and support for spatial video shooting.
The Pro series will be equipped with the A18 Pro chip, which adopts a thermal design, a 1/1.14-inch IMX903 main camera and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide angle on the rear, and the telephoto is a quadrismatic design. Also, the screen size has become a bit larger, at 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively.
Overall, the iPhone 16 series is finally getting more toothpaste than previous generations, and the much-anticipated fast charging and cooling are finally available. Moreover, Pro still increases the amount without increasing the price, which can be regarded as a disguised price reduction for large storage users, because the entry threshold is really lower.
Do these upgrades to the iPhone 16 series give you the idea of a new one?
