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.

Notebookcheck has proved those chinese phones that advertise 1920 and 2160Hz do not have it. All of them below 240Hz.

Just fake ad just like charging speed that they do not reach, but 70-80% of it ..

    For those who bragging about 120Hz display on their cheap Android phone and compared it to iPhone 16. Well, how smooth your phone performance?? Did it load website or your app blazing fast with the 120Hz screen?? What are the point having 120Hz display panel (cheap display panel) + weak @ss SoC when your loading screen like game that took forever to load.
    I rather have 60Hz display with blazing fast SoC than 120Hz display with weak @ss SoC.
    🤦🏻‍♂️

Oppo will offer Live Photo and an Airdrop compatible with iOS and Android... There is a lot more movement among Chinese manufacturers. See you in October/November

              At least Apple didn't increase the size of their vanilla flagship needlessly. For next year, I hope they decrease the iPhone 16 to 5.9" and they go back to iPhone X/XS footprint. Just leave this old 6.1" screen size to their SE lineup and previous gen vanilla flagships.

              I think a 5.9" iPhone 16 would appeal not only to fans who would get the new vanilla flagship iPhone no matter what but also to those who just want the phone that's the least cumbersome to operate with one hand, so it could sell as many units as the 13 vanilla and 13 mini combined.

                DarlingYext, 09 Sep 2024Still 60hz joke devices, expensive toys lmao Ah yes, because 90 and 120hz introduce so much usability and features that any phone without it is simply a toy. It's impossible to respond to email with only 60hz.

                        Yeah... 60hz is a dealbreaker.

                          PureOS, 09 Sep 2024Again and again same phones. It's technology, all phones are pretty much only incremental increases at this point in time.

                              "Apple has introduced an intermediate mode that captures 24MP photos – they offer more detail than 12MP shots combined with smaller file sizes than 48MP images"

                              Wasn't that available last year?
                              Or was it exclusive to 15 pros?

                                  You should be ok with 60 Hz if your are 60+ years old. If you're younger than that you might be blind.
