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.

justasmile, 10 Sep 2024Yeah... 60hz is a dealbreaker.No. It is not. The $800 Droids with 144Hz are mediocre, heavy bricks, with mediocre battery life, mediocre performance, mediocre cameras etc. Just another pathetic, clichéd, childish "argument" by attention deficit GSMArena commentators.

        They went back to the old camera arrangement. The new iPhone 16 looks like the old iPhone 12.

G4 is just overclocked G3, same GPU, same NPU and same security chip. And the G3 is barelly powerfull than Exynos 1480. Pixel 8a with G3 is good midrange phone but Pixel 9? S24 price with A55 power, just no. Thank you. And the more expensive Pixels are even more and more over priced.

                Apple adding more buttons on the iPhones would be a wake-up call for Android. Can't wait to have the camera shutter button back.

                  One question: which one would you rather have, 120Hz display with blazing fast SoC or 60Hz display with blazing fast SoC.

                        The point is clearly flying over your head, likely because you'd rather be a shill than think well.

                        If a phone that costs $200 can have a 120Hz OLED, why can't one that costs as much as the iPhone 16?Oh I get it now: you would rather have 60Hz display with blazing fast SoC than 120Hz display with blazing fast SoC. 🤡

Never THE best in any single category but consistently scoring high enough in enough categories.

                                    Apple insisting on the Plus model - an absolute fiasco that sells miserably - shows that sales numbers isn't what dictates the phones in their portfolio. Otherwise the superior Mini would be back and the Plus, gone.


                                    Anyway, "The second wave of countries include Macao, Vietnam, and 19 other countries".

                                    Macau isn't a country. It's part of China. A special administrative region for now, but not an independent country. Just like Hong Kong.

                                      Here is the thing, your smooth case for iPhone Samsung Galaxy is more to user problem than the hardware itself. In other words, dumb. Period.
