    OK. Apple 16 finally got all that.
    Now, can they please make it a flying Apple Drone Phone?

      Vanilla iPhone 16 getting A17 chip is a given. The thing is, is it getting the A17 Pro. Do take note Apple gave it the Pro naming. So meaning the A17 on the iPhone 16 Vanilla most probably can't play the "3A Console Quality Games"

It is plenty fast enough for 4k streaming, downloading the occasional game, and web browsing.

                  they always say it will bring everything and then flop, just basic stuff, im iphone user and like the iphone a lot, but if it is like this year maybe Apple should not sell no iphones next year, was kinda a flop device this year, not much to it from 14 series

                        Everything this guy has predicted has already been reported in articles you can read here.

                        The only ability exhibited is an ability to READ articles and the gall to plagerise.

                        Wifi 7 (UWB) is needed for Pro Vision headset well before IPhone 15 released already Apple announced.

                        5G modem: Qualcomm Apple new 3 year deal, recently signed.
                        Qualcomm hold 2 patents expiring in 2029 and 2030 that prevents Apple from launching its own 5G modem in 2025. Et Al.

                        Tetra prism: In mid September 2023 Kuo reported as such. The article quite informative so here is the link.

                        So I am a bit nervous as due to my reporting here.I am being put forward for a Pulitzer

                          More ram and more megapixels don't count? Remember your words as an iFan. Now speak the opposite because your favorite company do it. Defend them while buying overpriced junk.

                            If someone really needs wifi 7, you can buy Pixel 8 or 8pro. But seriously, how many of you even have a wifi 7 router?😁

                              This doesn't make Apple catch up properly. Their periscope telephoto is tiny, and it does not have a high resolution either, so it struggles at zoom ranges higher than 5×. These are the phones that implement 5× zoom correctly:
                              •Google Pixel 7 Pro - 48MP (Quad Bayer), 1/2.55"-type
                              •Google Pixel 8 Pro - 48MP (Quad Bayer), 1/2.55"-type
                              •Xiaomi 13 Ultra - 50MP (Quad Bayer), 1/2.51"-type

                              As you can see, this isn't a lot, but then again, Apple's own device costs a lot, and only the Xiaomi 13 Ultra is near that one's price. Even then, the Xiaomi packs another telephoto, this time not periscope-style and at 3.2× zoom instead, so that you can also get better portrait shots. It also has a much better and much larger main sensor.

                              Apple needs to use a 1/2.5"-type 48MP sensor for its 5× zoom periscope telephoto. They also need to have a 1/1.7"-type (or larger, we've seen Oppo use the main sensor also for the ultrawide before) 48MP ultrawide, and both the ultrawide *and* the telephoto needs to have macro capability. If Apple added macro for their telephoto, then they would normalise what has only so far been done by Huawei, and they would be ahead of the curve. The increased resolution also really helps macro for both the ultrawide and the telephoto, and they could really drive home the improvements on their macro game when announcing the phone. They could really market the feature and actually sell well.

                                Rodolf, 13 Oct 2023For superfast home networking? Why whenever WiFi 7 is me... moreCan you be a bit more specific? Lol. What exactly are you using it for? "Superfast home networking" is the marketing term of all marketing term. It means nothing but sounds cool.

                                Only real world usage case I can think of is prob for businesses that need a quick local connection but for some unknown reason cannot use cables.

                                    With its 6.3 in screen, 5 MP zoom camera and 48 MP ultra wide, 16 Pro is shaping up to be a great upgrade from my 12. Super excited for this one!

                                      like transfering 10PB of data from homeserver to phone, thats what 46Gbit/s for, right?
                                      what the phone storage capacity nowdays? 2TB max? or more ?

                                      why people always think about the internet is because obviously majority of people use their wifi to internet rather than to LAN
                                      like social networking, youtube/VOD-streams, gaming browsing, etc.

                                      beside wifi7 specs not even finalize, it still in draft specs
                                      its expected for finalize+release in 2024, so then networking device with that standard
                                      how many people urging to get wifi7 early?

                                      dont get me wrong, there nothing wrong with providing wifi7 support, its always good things to support latest-tech
                                      but if we talking the importance, i dont think it should put it on top list, as there way to less people fully use it
