iPhone 16 and 16 Plus get powerful A18 chipset, keep the old screens

09 September 2024
The A18 is a 3nm chip with a GPU powerful enough to play games that were exclusive to the Pro - and, crucially, powerful enough to run Apple Intelligence.

    60Hz for base models is kind of bad. I mean I had some cheap Redmi phone (150EUR) with Oled screen and 120Hz.
    Then again, you can always buy some iPhone 13, or even iPhone 12, with much cheaper price. No need for an iPhone 16, or 15.

      Yay my shity 100 euro smartphone also has 2x telephoto, according to iPhone 16 logic!

      No, Apple, just stop. We don't need more camera gimmick number wars. Samsung was enough already.

            Apple must still have a job lot of 60Hz panels they want to use up in their base models before finally catching up with the rest of the smartphone world. Purely incremental upgrade

              So the same bs trend continues and before Apple fans flip this same bs is on every manufacturer. But yeah! Apple is the biggest "gimme ur money" corp out there

                Anonymous, 09 Sep 2024Meanwhile… Samsung’s A25 has 120Hz 😂 (+ Possibly the A16 too)144 hz price 100 eur
                https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_edge_(2022)-11777.php

                This apple cost 10 times more for 60 HZ great job apple.

                  The first benchmark released on Geekbench for the A18 chip is 3100 in single core and 6700 in multi-core. So no, the A18 is not powerful, it would be slightly less fast than the A17 Pro: a shame. Let's hope it is for the benefit of energy consumption.

                    I´d rather have an iphone 14 pro or even a 15 pro rather than the new 16.

                    Like me most people should think the same way

                      This is what happens when you engage in full out protectionism. Apple is falling behind so globally. Only in the US is it protected enough to succeed.

                          Regardless of the practical use of high refresh rates, there shouldn't be any excuse for an expensive phone to omit it, in the first place.

                                        But the wow factor is the touch induced shutter controls. Also it is nice to see Pro features from Sony on Pro models
