Apple has released the most anticipated iPhone 16 in history. Why is it the most anticipated? Because it has AI, and it is said that there will be major upgrades to the screen, memory, chip, battery, and imaging system.
In fact, with the release of iPhone 16, we find that this upgrade is quite different from previous years.
First of all, in terms of appearance, iPhone 16 suddenly reverted to the iPhone X era overnight, with the dual cameras arranged vertically.
In addition, the Pro version has been upgraded to 6.3 inches, while the Max version has become 6.9 inches. The standard version is 6.1 inches, and the Plus version is 6.7 inches. With four versions and four screen sizes, it is easier to distinguish.
Third, Apple, which is known for its simplicity, has specially designed a camera button for iPhone. With a simple swipe of your finger, you can adjust exposure, depth of field, and other camera functions. You can also switch between lenses or use digital zoom to compose your shot, making it extremely convenient.
Fourth, all versions use the A18 chip. The standard version comes with the A18, while the Pro version has the A18 Pro, which is more powerful and has stronger AI capabilities compared to the A17 Pro.
Fifth, memory upgrade, with all models featuring 8GB of RAM.
In addition, there are upgrades to the cooling system and battery.
More importantly, compared to last year's iPhone 15, the upgrades come at no additional cost. The iPhone 16 starts at RMB 5,999, the iPhone 16 Plus starts at RMB 6,999, and the iPhone 16 Pro starts at RMB 7,999, all with 128GB of storage as the base model. The iPhone 16 Pro Max starts at RMB 9,999 with 256GB of storage.
However, among the four iPhone 16 models, I believe the most worth buying is the standard iPhone 16, followed by the iPhone 16 Pro.
The standard version of the iPhone 16 comes with brand-new color options, routine upgrades to the processor and memory, multiple camera buttons, and a new camera layout. It also features 8GB of RAM and AI functions, just like the Pro version.
The main camera boasts 48 megapixels, and the only differences from the Pro version are the lack of a high refresh rate screen (it has a 6.1-inch display) and the use of the A18 chip instead of the A18 Pro. However, it has all the essential features and starts at just RMB 5,999, with a high likelihood of further discounts, making it a very attractive option.
The iPhone 16 Pro boasts all the highlights of the iPhone 16 series, with a 6.3-inch screen that is 0.2 inches larger than the standard version, creating a noticeable difference.
The 6.3-inch screen size is just right, not as large as the 6.9-inch Max version, providing an optimal balance of hand feel and visual experience. Priced at RMB 7,999 and up, with the potential for further discounts similar to those seen with the iPhone 15 series, it offers exceptional value for money.
Therefore, I believe that for those seeking cost-effectiveness, the standard version of the iPhone 16 is a great choice. For those who prioritize performance and experience, the iPhone 16 Pro is the way to go. As for the Plus and Max versions, they may be unnecessary due to their larger sizes.
