New iPhone 16, here's what it looks like: release date and price

Apple’s event has finally brought to light the highly anticipated iPhone 16. With a series of updates that affect both hardware and software, the new generation of iPhone is destined to redefine the user experience, thanks also to the deep integration with Apple Intelligence, the system based on artificial intelligence.

Let’s discover all the main new features of the new iPhone 16, from the improved hardware to the software innovations that promise to revolutionize the way we interact with our smartphone.

Colors, displays, and new hardware features

The new iPhone 16 comes with a range of rich and vibrant colors, designed to satisfy all tastes. But it’s not just the aesthetic aspect that makes news: the display has been improved, reaching a maximum brightness of 2000 nits and dynamically adapting up to 1 nit when the Always On function is active. This ensures a clear and high-definition visual experience even in the most difficult conditions, such as direct sunlight.

Another interesting new feature is the integration of the Action Button also on the base models of the iPhone 16. This button, customizable by the user, allows you to assign quick shortcuts for various functions, such as opening the camera, activating the flashlight, or performing actions with Apple Intelligence.

Next to this, we find the new Camera Control, a button designed to be easy to use in both portrait and landscape mode, without the need to apply real physical pressure. You take a photo with a simple tap, and you start recording a video with a double tap. The haptic technology generates a vibration that simulates the pressure of a physical button. The sensitivity of the Camera Control is also able to distinguish between a light pressure, which allows you to adjust the zoom, and a more firm one, which allows you to access other settings such as the portrait effect.

Improved Camera: Innovations for Photos and Videos

The iPhone 16’s camera has undergone a major evolution, confirming Apple as a leader in mobile photography. The main sensor is 48MP, but thanks to pixel binning technology, the final photos are optimized for a 12MP output rich in detail and with better light management. This sensor allows you to take incredibly sharp photos even in less-than-optimal lighting conditions.

The second camera is ultrawide 12MP that allows you to capture macro images and obtain a 0.5X zoom-out effect. Thanks to the combination of the main camera and the ultrawide, the iPhone 16 also lets you take spatial photos and record spatial videos, which is content designed specifically for the Apple Vision Pro headset.

The combined use of the two cameras makes the photographic experience even more versatile, allowing you to capture spectacular images in a wide range of situations. The main camera also supports a 2X optical zoom without quality at 12MP, increasing the options for the user.

Another exciting new feature is the introduction of the new Photos app, redesigned to take advantage of the potential of Apple Intelligence. The Clean Up feature makes it easy to remove unwanted objects or people from photos, further improving the quality of the images without the need for external software.

A18 processor and gaming power

The new A18 chip is the beating heart of iPhone 16, designed with the most advanced 3-nanometer technology. This evolution not only provides a significant improvement in performance but also marks a crucial step in the integration of artificial intelligence at Apple. The A18 chip is 2 times faster in machine learning and offers a 17 percent increase in memory access speed, ensuring reduced response times and smoother multitasking.

Another big new feature is support for AAA games, previously reserved only for iPhone 15 Pro. Thanks to the improved GPU, which is 40% faster compared to the previous generation, the iPhone 16 is now able to handle console-level games, offering a top-notch graphic experience directly on mobile. Apple has already announced that many console titles will arrive on the iPhone in 2025, thanks to this new computing power.

Finally, an important improvement concerns the battery, now larger and optimized to support the power of the A18 chip and the new Apple Intelligence features without sacrificing battery life.

Apple Intelligence: a revolution based on AI

One of the most anticipated new features is the introduction of Apple Intelligence, an advanced artificial intelligence system that promises to revolutionize the interaction with the device. This AI can understand natural language, recognize images and videos, and help users complete everyday tasks more easily and quickly. For example, we will be able to draft emails that Apple Intelligence will rework to make them formal and professional or use GenMoji to create personalized emojis.

Thanks to the integration with Siri, Apple Intelligence will take the voice assistant to a new level of interaction. Siri will become more natural and intuitive, capable of understanding the context of conversations and dynamically adapting to the user’s corrections. We will be able to give commands like "Play the latest Imagine Dragons song" and Siri will find and play the song without the need for further details.

Apple Intelligence is built on a principle of Private Computing, which means that all personal information will remain private and will not be shared with external services. This system uses 100% renewable energy to power the servers that support it, confirming Apple’s commitment to sustainability.

Release Date and Price

The iPhone 16 will be available for pre-order from September 13, 2024, with first shipments and availability in stores starting from September 20, 2024. Official prices start at:

  • 799 dollars for the iPhone 16
  • 899 dollars for the iPhone 16 Plus.

Apple, as usual, plans a staggered launch of the models: starting with the Pro and Pro Max models, followed by the standard versions in the following weeks.

In conclusion, the iPhone 16 represents a significant upgrade for Apple users, with improvements on all fronts, from the camera to artificial intelligence. The synergy between hardware and software, with the new A18 chip and the integration of Apple Intelligence, marks the beginning of a new era for Cupertino smartphones.
