Not surprisingly, Apple's iPhone16 series is still squeezing toothpaste, especially in terms of battery life, which does not rise but falls. Recently, Wall Street reported that the battery casing of Apple's iPhone 16 series will be replaced from aluminum plastic film to stainless steel, and the supplier is a Chinese company. The all-steel shell will be laser welded, which can improve the battery life, mainly to increase the number of cycles.
Before that, it was reported that Apple's iPhone 16 series will increase the battery capacity to varying degrees, but the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 Plus has been reduced by 9%, from 4383mAh on the iPhone 15 Plus to 4006mAh. At the same time, the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Max has increased by only 6% and 5%.
In terms of fast charging, the improvement of the iPhone 16 series is not very obvious, and the iPhone 16 supports 40W wired charging and 20W MagSafe wireless charging. Compared with the 100-watt fast charging of domestic flagships, 40W is still not enough.
In addition, according to the iPhone 16 series exposed models, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16Plus have great changes in the appearance design, and the lens module adopts a vertical dual-camera design. The iPhone 16 Pro series still retains the square three-camera Deco design, which is the same as previous generations.
As for the performance, image, screen and other configurations of the iPhone 16 series, they are all regular upgrades, however, the screen refresh rate of the iPhone 16 and 16Plus has not been improved, and it remains at 60Hz. It's 2024, and it's a bit unreasonable to still use a 60Hz screen.
