Apple Event: New Products Introduced

Apple introduced its new products that excite the tech world at the event held today. Highlights of the event included the Apple Watch Series 10 smartwatch and the next generation of headphones, AirPods 4. However, all attention was on the new smartphone series, the iPhone 16, which was expected to be the star of the stage.

This year, Apple introduced a total of 4 new iPhone models, just like last year. These models are listed as iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Especially the Pro and Pro Max models are considered the top-tier options in the iPhone series. Apple aims to bring a fresh breath to the competition by building upon its previous models in this new series. So, what are the technical specifications of these new phones? What innovations do they bring when compared to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max?

Design and Display

Design and Display

If you are expecting a radical design change, you might be disappointed. Apple presented 4 new phones at the launch, and these models are quite similar to their predecessors in design. However, upon careful examination, some differences stand out. The screens of the new models are slightly larger compared to previous generations. This does not mean that the phones will feel bigger in your hand; on the contrary, the black bezels around the screens are thinner compared to their predecessors. Thus, while the screens grow, the overall size does not change significantly. Looking at the screen sizes, the iPhone 16 Pro’s screen is set at 6.3 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s screen is 6.9 inches.

Processor

Processor

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max introduced today are equipped with the Apple A18 Pro processor, which is a more powerful silicon than the A18 processor found in the iPhone 16 model. This new processor features the smallest processing technology used in mobile chipsets, which is 3nm transistor technology. Additionally, it offers a 16-core NPU (Neural Processing Unit) for artificial intelligence applications and increased memory bandwidth. Delving into the details of the processor, Apple claims that this new silicon will provide users with significantly more advantages in the field of artificial intelligence compared to previous models. Furthermore, it enhances gaming experiences while also making significant improvements in camera performance, allowing for better image processing capabilities.

Tesla Semi Fire: NTSB Preliminary Report Released

The NTSB’s preliminary report on the Tesla Semi fire has been released. This content includes important information about the details of the incident, the causes of the fire, and Tesla’s safety measures. Explore the impact on Tesla’s electric vehicles and its future steps.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released a preliminary report stating that a Tesla Semi electric truck in California required firefighters to use “50,000 gallons” (approximately 190,000 liters) of water to extinguish a roadside fire. Firefighting teams also deployed an aircraft to drop fire retardant on nearby areas as a precautionary measure to control the fire.

The accident occurred on August 19 at 3:13 AM local time on the I-80 highway east of Sacramento. The electric truck went off the road while navigating a curve, collided with a roadside boundary marker, and then struck a tree, coming to a stop. Fortunately, the driver was not injured in the accident; however, considering their health condition, they were taken to the hospital.

The Tesla Semi’s large 900 kWh battery caught fire upon impact, and toxic smoke began to spread during the fire. While the fire continued with temperatures reaching up to 538°C, firefighters worked intensively to cool the blaze with water. However, due to the fire’s effects, the vehicle continued to burn until late in the afternoon. Meanwhile, Tesla sent a technical expert to the scene regarding fire safety and high voltage hazards.

The highway reopened to traffic at 7:20 PM local time, 16 hours after the accident. The NTSB, as an organization that can only make recommendations and cannot enforce regulations, sent a team to the area for investigation purposes. This major accident raised several issues, including dangerously hot fires and toxic smoke, which will attract the attention of many international organizations.

The NTSB had previously stated in 2021 that fires in the batteries of electric vehicles pose serious risks to emergency response teams and that the guidelines provided by manufacturers for such fires are inadequate.

New Leaks About Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra

Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy S25 Ultra along with the Galaxy S25 series at the beginning of 2024, likely in January. Although no official announcement has been made yet, leaks regarding the upcoming flagship continue to spread rapidly on the internet. Notable leak source IceUniverse shared several new visuals of the Galaxy S25 Ultra in a post on the X platform. These visuals reveal the design differences between the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

One of the notable features in the leaked images of the Galaxy S25 Ultra is the rounded corners of the phone. In contrast, this year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra has quite sharp corners, which has led to feedback from some users indicating discomfort while holding the device. Previous leaks have suggested that the Galaxy S25 Ultra may be somewhat larger.

A tweet shared by IceUniverse: Galaxy S25 Ultra Image

According to leaks, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to be thinner and lighter compared to previous models. In August, rumors emerged that the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra would be lighter than its competitors, with a weight of under 221 grams.

Another image featured in IceUniverse’s post shows close-ups of the sides of both next year’s expected flagship phone and Samsung’s current flagship. In this image, the side of the Galaxy S25 Ultra appears flatter with rounded corners. While these changes may not create a major revolution, they will generally positively affect the feel of the phone in hand.

Looking at other rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, it is expected that the company will offer top-tier screen and camera upgrades next year. Additionally, there is a strong expectation that the satellite connection feature will also be introduced alongside the Galaxy S25.

New Features in iOS 18

Additionally, there’s an option to change the colors of the icons and adjust their darkness levels. In short, you are no longer bound to a boring layout. It raises questions why Apple waited until 2024 to offer this feature.
  • Revamped Control Center: The Control Center is completely redesigned in iOS 18. Users will be able to group controls more comfortably, and developers can easily add controls from their applications. Also, there’s an option to divide the Control Center into pages, allowing different controls on each page.
  • RCS Messaging Support: With iOS 18, Apple introduces Rich Communication Services (RCS) messaging support. Users can add various effects to their texts and react with new emojis for more colorful responses.

  • App Lock Feature: Users can now lock specific applications. For example, they can activate Face ID protection from the menu that appears when long-pressing an app icon. Thus, anyone wanting to open the app will have to pass the Face ID protection first.
