Although there is still a long time before Apple's autumn new product launch conference in September, there are still endless revelations about the new generation of iPhone, including details such as exterior design, hardware configuration and some performance improvements, which have aroused widespread attention from consumers and the industry.
According to the latest reports, the iPhone 16 series will be launched with four models, including iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Of particular note is that the Pro version will start with 256GB of storage, a strategic adjustment that is clearly geared towards the market's demand for high-capacity storage solutions. For this change, it is expected that Apple will also take into account that the new iPhone will be equipped with a 48-megapixel main camera, as well as an ultra-wide-angle and periscope telephoto lens, and the size of photo and video files will increase significantly, thus putting forward higher requirements for storage space.
In terms of core performance, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expected to be powered by the A18 processor, while the Pro version will be powered by the more advanced A18 Pro processor, which promises significant improvements in processing speed and energy efficiency. In addition, the display size of the new device will also be improved, with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus increasing the screen size from 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively, which will bring users a more immersive visual experience.
In addition, the iPhone 16 Pro series is particularly noticeable in terms of imaging upgrades. On the basis of inheriting the 48-million-pixel main camera of the previous generation, the new Pro series will be equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens with the same pixels, so that the resolution of spatial video can reach the 4K level, which will greatly enrich the shooting experience of users and meet the pursuit of high-quality image content. What's more worth mentioning is that this time the iPhone 16 is expected to support high refresh rates across the entire series, which is undoubtedly a major improvement for the standard version. This change may attract more users who were originally going to buy the Pro version to switch to the standard version.
If nothing else, the new iPhone 16 series will most likely be released in September this year. Although the storage capacity of the iPhone 16 Pro has been increased to 256GB, considering that the current high-end market competition is particularly fierce, its price is expected to remain unchanged at $999, which means that the price of the Chinese version will most likely remain at 7999 yuan.
