On September 10th, Apple released the iPhone 16 series, although Apple introduced many upgrades and features at the press conference, but there are some data that users need to dig out by themselves, so today we will talk about some data that Apple did not introduce.
In order to better adapt to AI functions, this year's iPhone 16 series is equipped with 8GB of RAM and A18 series chips, and the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are suspected to have scored on GeekBench.
The iPhone 16 with the A18 chip scored 3,114 points for single-core and 6,666 points for multi-core, and the iPhone 16 Pro with A18 Pro chip scored 3,018 points for single-core and 7,751 points for multi-core. Compared to last year's A17 Pro chip, the A18 Pro chip is indeed stronger than the A17 Pro.
It was previously reported that this year's iPhone 16 series will support 40W wired charging + 20W wireless charging, but on Apple's official website, the iPhone 16 Pro still only supports up to 15W wireless charging, but on the Apple (United States) official website, it is shown that it supports 25W MagSafe magnetic charging, as for why this is so, it is still unknown.
Last year, Apple changed the charging port of the iPhone 15 series to USB-C, but the new iPhone 16 series did not improve the data transfer standard as everyone expected, and the iPhone 16 standard version still maintains the 2.0 standard of the previous generation.
The A18 Pro mentioned at the launch event has been boosted to faster USB 3 speeds, but the published data shows that the 16 Pro series is still the same USB 3 standard as the 15 Pro series. Although Apple calls it USB 3, it already has the same speed as the USB 3.1 Gen2 standard, but a 10Gb/s cable is required to achieve this standard.
That said, Apple only compared the A18 chip to the A18 Pro chip when it was introduced, and at the same time showed that the previous generation already had this feature.
The weight of the 16 Pro series has also increased due to the larger screen of the iPhone 16 Pro series, with the 16 Pro getting 12 grams over the previous generation, the 16 Pro Max getting 6 grams over the previous generation, and the iPhone 16 standard version not changing much.
In other aspects, Apple has officially launched a new Beats series case for the iPhone 16 series, with four colors and a price of 399 yuan. In addition, after the iPhone 16 series hit the shelves, the iPhone 15 Pro series and iPhone 13 were removed from the shelves.
