Apple has unveiled its latest flagship smartphones, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, expanding the iPhone 16 lineup.
These premium models are designed with superior screens and cameras compared to the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.
The iPhone 16 Pro features a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max boasts a 6.9-inch screen, surpassing the previous models’ sizes of 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches.
Both models showcase what Apple describes as “the thinnest borders on any Apple product” and the “best iPhone displays ever.”
They are crafted from a new form of titanium, which is nearly half the weight of stainless steel and more scratch-resistant.
The new iPhone 16 Pro Max also promises the “best iPhone battery life ever,” though specific details were not disclosed.
Under the hood, the iPhone 16 Pro models are powered by the A18 Pro chip, featuring second-generation 3-nanometer transistors and a 16-core neural engine designed for generative AI tasks.
This setup boosts total system memory bandwidth by 17% and is described as “even faster and more efficient than A18.”
Camera improvements include a 48-megapixel “fusion camera” with faster data processing, a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera for detailed wide-angle shots, and a 5x telephoto camera for enhanced zoom capabilities.
For video, the new models offer 4k recording at 120 frames per second, which Apple claims is the highest resolution and frame rate ever for iPhone cameras.
The Pro models also feature four “studio-quality” microphones with reduced noise, designed for high-quality vocal and acoustic recordings, and spatial audio capture.
A new “Audio Mix” feature, touted as an “industry first,” utilizes machine learning to separate background sounds from speech.
An upcoming update to the Voice Memos app will enable users to layer additional tracks over previously recorded ones, benefiting musicians who wish to add layers to their recordings.
Pricing for the iPhone 16 Pro starts at $999, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max begins at $1,199. Both models will be available for pre-order on Friday, with in-store sales commencing on September 20.
