The iPhone 16: mini size, maximum power!
It was released in France at the end of September, but that is enough to promise it as good a future as its predecessors: l’iPhone 16 d’Apple made a hit since its launch!
Unchanged, sound compact 6.1 inch size allows for one-handed use, especially with two new action buttons appeared on the edge:
- you program the shortcut of your choice on the 1st (airplane mode or the flashlight for example),
- and with the 2nd, with a simple press of the finger, you access the photo settings, you change the frame or lens, then you shoot.
Since we are talking about photos, let us note the appearance of a 48 Mpx 2-in-1 fusion camera with optical stabilizer, both wide-angle and 2x telephoto, coupled with a 12 Mpx ultra-wide-angle. We also like the front flash, essential for night selfies, and 3D spatial capture.
We will then admire his photos, his video recordings and is streamer not HDR on the beautiful screen OLED Super Retina en Full HD+. The brightness is excellent even in direct sunlight, the lights are bright although sometimes a little orange, and the fluidity of the images is excellent thanks to theintegration of Ray Tracing technology which more than compensates a refresh rate of just 60 Hz. Gamers have nothing to worry about!
All the power of the iPhone 16 is concentrated in its SoC Apple Bionic A18 engraved in 3 nm, and it will hold the charge all day without blinking, up to 20 hours of continuous video playback.
-It remains to talk about AI: with the iOS 18.1 update, we saw the first functionalities appear, but it was necessary wait until next April to benefit from everything (the fault of the uncertainties linked to the European Digital Markets Acts regulation, known as DMA):
- writing tools or audio transcriptions and summaries,
- new retouching and photo classification possibilities,
- ChatGPT integration,
- smoother communication with Siri…
