iPhone 16 big secret leaked: Apple to power groundbreaking AI features with this new technology – Technology News

Get ready, Apple fans—there’s a new iPhone lineup on the horizon. On September 9, 2024, Apple will take the wraps off the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, at an event called “It’s Glowtime.” According to the latest reports, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 series will be supercharged with the powerful A18 chip, developed using Arm’s cutting-edge V9 architecture.

This new development promises a leap in performance, specifically designed to handle Apple’s growing focus on artificial intelligence (AI) features. The iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max should get the “pro” version designed for more heavy duty tasks including the speculated ability to record 4K videos at a whopping 120 frames per second. The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus should have a relatively watered-down non-pro variant of the chip.

The A18 chip decoded

The A18 chip is the real game-changer here, especially for AI enthusiasts. Apple teamed up with SoftBank-owned Arm to integrate their latest V9 chip design, Financial Times reported on Saturday. Apple signed a long-term deal with Arm in September 2023 that goes beyond 2040, ensuring that the future of iPhones will continue to push the limits of mobile technology. Expect faster speeds, better multitasking, and of course, more AI-driven features.

V9 isn’t new to Apple. The M4 silicon which was unveiled in May and launched first on iPad Pro, uses the same blueprint. New upcoming Mac models are expected to take things even further. But it looks like the iPhone is getting a shot at it even before and what a big shot in the arm it could be, if the performance of the iPad Pro is anything to go by. For those unaware, Arm provides the set of instructions—V9, in this case—that go behind building a chip like the A18.

iPhone 16 and 16 Plus: Under-the-hood upgrades

While the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus won’t see massive design changes, what’s inside is where the magic happens. The 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screen sizes remain the same, but these models are getting a significant memory upgrade from 6GB to 8GB to support the new Apple Intelligence, an AI-powered feature set that will bring more advanced functionalities to your non-Pro iPhones for the first time ever. The A18 chip will also play a big role to expedite things while making a lot of other things possible on these non-Pro iPhones for the first time.

iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max: The next-level camera experience

The Pro models, of course, take everything up a notch. The iPhone 16 Pro will boast a larger 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max expands to 6.9 inches, thanks to slimmer bezels. Under the hood, their A18 Pro chip, optimised for AI tasks, will ensure your phone is faster and smarter than ever.

The cameras are another major upgrade. Both Pro models will feature a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera, up from the previous 12 megapixels. Even more exciting, the iPhone 16 Pro will match the Pro Max’s 5x optical zoom, making zoom photography more versatile. But the real standout feature? A DSLR-style, touch-sensitive shutter button that’ll take your photography game to a new height. Lightly press to focus, apply more pressure to snap a photo, and even swipe across to switch modes or zoom in.

A lot of this is mere speculation for now, but we won’t have to wait for long to know more. Mark your calendars for Apple’s fall event on September 9, when all these secrets will be officially revealed. Stay tuned for further updates.
