Apple Introduces the iPhone 16 Series

Apple has officially introduced the highly anticipated new iPhone 16 series. This new series consists of four different models: the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The two non-Pro models, namely the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, are positioned as the entry models of the series. Both models are almost identical in features, except for their screen sizes. Now, let’s take a closer look at the innovations that the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus offer to users…

Design

Aside from the Dynamic Island, it can be said that Apple has not made a significant change in its iPhone designs since the iPhone 11. The same applies to the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. Both models feature only minor tweaks compared to their iPhone 15 counterparts. The most notable design change relates to the rear cameras. Contrary to expectations, Apple has reduced the square camera block used since the iPhone 11 and has opted for a vertical arrangement for the two camera lenses. The LED flash is located outside this camera block.

There are also some innovations on the sides of the phones. First of all, the Action Button, which was previously available only on Pro models, is now also offered on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. Additionally, there is a new Capture Button located just below the power button. This button primarily functions as a camera shutter button but also has a capacitive structure that allows for swipe gestures.

The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus will be available in various color options including white, black, ultramarine (blue), teal (green), and pink.

Display

The iPhone 16 is equipped with a 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Plus has a 6.7-inch screen. Both models’ displays can reach a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits and can drop to as low as 1 nit in the dark. Surprisingly, both models come with the Dynamic Island. However, the highly anticipated ProMotion feature is still not available on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus displays. Apple seems to have postponed the 120Hz experience once again to the iPhone 17 series by only allowing the screens to operate at 60Hz.

Processor and Technical Specifications

Apple guarantees that AI features will work on the new iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus models. For this reason, the devices use the next-generation 3nm A18 chip. Recall that the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus used last year’s A16 chip and had RAM capacities limited to 6GB. Therefore, Apple Intelligence features cannot be utilized on those models. However, the situation is quite different for the 16 series. Apple has opted for the A18 chip with a sufficiently fast NPU and likely 8GB of RAM in its new phones. In terms of storage space, there is no change compared to last year; both models start with 128GB of storage. Additionally, 256GB and 512GB options are available, but these options will come at a higher price.

Cameras

Both the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus come with a dual-camera system. Both phones feature the 48MP main camera lens used in the iPhone 15 series. The ultra-wide camera lens will also have similar features. However, some improvements are expected for better low-light performance. Additionally, it will be possible to take macro photos thanks to the automatic focus feature.

What are the Prices of the iPhone 16?

The price of the iPhone 16’s 128 GB version is set at $799, while the 256 GB version will be offered at $899, and the 512 GB version will be available for $999.

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.

iOS 18 Officially Released: Here Are the Innovations!

Apple officially launched iOS 18 yesterday, as promised. After a long beta testing phase, this update brings many exciting new features for iPhone users.

iOS 18 Officially Released: Innovations and Features

New Features in iOS 18

Advanced Customization Options on the Home Screen: With iOS 18, users can now arrange app icons freely without sticking to the traditional grid layout. 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.
Updated Photos App: The Photos app is presented with a new opening page and a modern layout. Users can now browse photos by time, people, and many other criteria, reorder media files, and explore more with the “Collections” feature.
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.
Apple Intelligence: One of the important features of iOS 18 is Apple’s artificial intelligence kit, Apple Intelligence. However, to fully benefit from this feature, you’ll need to wait for the iOS 18.1 update. More information about Apple Intelligence can be found here.
