Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 series is expected to be unveiled during their annual September event, potentially set for 10th September. This year, the Cupertino-based tech giant is anticipated to introduce four new models: iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
iPhone 16 Pro Leaks: What We Know So Far
According to the latest leak by tipster Instant Digital (translated name) on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to come with a 3,577 mAh battery. The iPhone 16 Pro Max, on the other hand, is likely to feature a 4,676 mAh battery pack. These figures represent a 9% and 5% increase, respectively, compared to the battery capacities of last year’s models.
Moreover, Apple is set to enhance the charging capabilities of these two devices. The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to support 40W wired and 20W MagSafe charging, a significant upgrade from the 27W and 15W currently available on the Pro models.
Apple’s AI Features Slated for October Release
A recent report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman indicates that Apple’s new AI features, known as Apple Intelligence, will not be available with the initial iOS 18 update. Instead, these features are scheduled to be released via the iOS 18.1 update in October. Major AI updates, such as ChatGPT integration and Genmoji, are expected to roll out later in the year or in early 2025.
“AI is among Apple’s biggest selling points in the iOS 18 update,” noted Gurman. If these reports hold true, it underscores Apple’s commitment to ensuring software readiness before launching new hardware. Historically, Apple has delayed iPhone launches due to incomplete software features. For instance, the iPhone 4s launch was postponed to October because Siri and iCloud were not ready by the June launch date.
As the excitement builds around the iPhone 16 series, Apple enthusiasts can look forward to notable improvements in battery life and charging speeds. With the anticipated launch just around the corner, stay tuned for more updates on the latest innovations from Apple. For more such insights visit Birdseyenews.com
