Take a look at the latest exposure of iPhone 16: Whether it is worth waiting for another year depends on personal needs.

iPhone models have developed rapidly in recent years, and it is usually not long before the new model is released that the news of the next model begins to appear. Moreover, every time the iPhone is released, it is very popular, and its fans are also very large. For the new machine, I always want to see it in advance, so I can make a better decision on the choice. But what people didn't expect recently is that the iPhone 15 hasn't been released yet, and news about the iPhone 16 series has appeared. For the market, I don't know if it is good or bad. For other manufacturers, it is definitely not good. The competition will be more intense, and it is easy for everyone to focus on the iPhone series.

According to the latest news, Apple will adopt solid-state buttons in new mobile phones next year, which is expected to be used in iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models. This news has aroused widespread concern and heated discussion in the industry.

First of all, it has been reported that Apple's iPhone 15 Pro series models will use solid buttons. However, Guo Ming, a well-known Apple analyst, tweeted in April that Apple had cancelled the solid button design in the iPhone in 223 and changed it back to the original solid button design due to "unresolved technical problems".

Mark Gurman of Bloomberg also mentioned this news in his latest Power On newsletter. Although the iPhone 15 Pro engineering machine is indeed equipped with new buttons, they have been "abandoned" from the production version.

he pointed out that "manufacturing complexity, higher related costs and software integration problems" are the main reasons for the delay. Gurman claims that this feature is destined to be adopted in 224, probably iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

compared with the traditional mechanical keys, solid-state keys will give users a lighter, thinner and more sensitive experience in use. This technology not only eliminates the possible failures of traditional mechanical keys, but also makes the appearance of mobile phones smoother and more beautiful. At the same time, solid-state buttons also have more operational performance, such as realizing different functions by pressing with different strength.

according to the exposed patent drawings, the functions of solid-state buttons are somewhat similar to the 3D Touch technology introduced before, but there are also some differences. 3D Touch requires users to use different pressures to achieve different operations, and solid-state keys can achieve this only by simulating the feeling of physical keys through vibration motors.

AirPods Pro2 released by Apple last year is to simulate the real keystroke effect through excellent feedback and sound, which has been unanimously loved by users. The iPhone 16 Pro series with solid buttons may also use a sliding operation mode similar to AirPods Pro2.

Solid-state buttons also have some challenges, but Apple hopes to enhance the usability and reliability of products and provide a more comfortable user experience through this technology. Although this technology has not been officially applied to mobile phones at present, I believe that once it is officially launched, it will be welcomed by the majority of users.

In a word, Apple's solid-state button technology is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated innovations in the era when various new technologies are constantly emerging. It can provide higher reliability and operational performance, making users more comfortable when using mobile phones. I believe that with the advancement of technology, Apple will introduce more and better innovations in the future. Let us wait and see.

in addition, it is worth mentioning that, in addition to the solid-state buttons, the iPhone 16 Pro series is likely to be equipped with an off-screen Face ID, which hides the related components under the screen, and becomes the same appearance as Android's center punch screen, saying goodbye to the ugly long strip "smart island" punch.

Last year, the iPhone 14 Pro series was changed to "Smart Island" for the first time, and Liu Haiping, which was used since 217, was abandoned, which reduced the area occupied by Liu Hai on the mobile phone screen. However, many users still spit out the smart island, and the punching area is much higher than that of Android phones.

Previously, the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO) publicized a technical patent for Face ID under the Apple screen, which described embedding various sensors under the iPhone screen, including Touch ID sensor, magnetic sensor, pressure sensor, direction and motion sensor, air gesture sensor and so on. Let the Face ID under the screen be applied.

the screen frame of the iPhone 15 Pro series will be narrowed to about 1.55 mm. after using the Face ID on the screen, the screen impression of the iPhone 16 Pro series will be greatly improved, making it the iPhone with the highest value after the iPhone X ..

In addition, by the way, it is predicted that the screen sizes of iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, which are expected to be launched in 224, will be further increased.

MacRumus, an IT media, quoted Ross Young, an analyst of Display Industry, as saying on the 9th local time that the screen sizes of iPhone 16 Pro and iPhon 16 Pro Max, which will be launched next year, will increase to 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively.

Ross Young said that the screen size of the iPhone 16 Pro model is a rounded number, adding that the specific size data down to two decimal places will be disclosed at the monitor week conference held in Los Angeles on the 23rd.

previously, apple installed 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays on the iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max respectively. If Ross Young's prediction is accurate, then the screen size of the iPhone will become larger and larger. Of course, this year's iPhone 15 Pro model will use the same 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens as in the past.

Apple's iPhone 15 series, which is expected to be launched this autumn, is expected to maintain the screen size division method of the existing models, that is, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro will adopt the 6.1-inch screen specification, while the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max will adopt the 6.7-inch design. At the same time, all models may be replaced with a Dynamic Island with a hole design, instead of using the bangs-shaped screen design.

In addition, Rosyoung said that the two standard models of iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus will still use the existing screen size, so that Apple can further distinguish the four iPhone models.

According to the above news, the screen sizes of four models of iPhone 16 series are sorted out as follows:

iPhone 16-6.1 "

iPhone 16 Plus-6.7"

iPhone 16 Pro-6.3 "

iPhone 16 Pro Max-6.9"

The p>MacRumors report also pointed out that Apple would modify iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16.

since there is still more than one year before the launch of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple still has plenty of time to adjust the design of the fuselage, and there is no definitive answer yet. If there are problems in production, cost or supply chain, you can't keep up with Apple's plan, or you may give up the plan to increase the display size.

So up to now, the above rumors of breaking the news have not been confirmed by Apple officials.

However, after the news of the news was exposed, it has aroused a heated discussion among foreign fruit fans. Some netizens expressed their expectation, and some netizens replied humorously, is this the iPad mini 7 I have been waiting for? In addition, some netizens think that the iPhone 14 Pro Max in their hands is already big and heavy. If the screen of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is upgraded to 6.9 inches, the weight of the fuselage will also increase. For people with small palms, the feeling of holding it with one hand is definitely more burdensome.

furthermore, Gurman also mentioned the issue of low-cost iPhone that everyone cares about. When commenting on Apple's financial report, he pointed out that the Indian market has become a crucial place for Apple. But in fact, the pricing of Apple iPhone in India is more expensive than that in the United States.

It is worth noting that Ross Young is an analyst who accurately predicts the display information of Apple products. In the past, he accurately predicted that the iPhone13 Pro would support adaptive refresh rate. There are also 14-inch, 16-inch Macbook Pro, and the sixth-generation iPad mini will be equipped with a larger 8.3-inch display.

In addition, the iPhone 16 series is actually a little regrettable, such as the 5G signal band. It is also reported that Apple would have released its own 5G chip this year, but the research and development may be immature and will not be completed until 225. In short, iPhone 15 series and iPhone 16 series will still use Qualcomm's 5G chips, and there may be self-developed chips in iPhone 17 series. Fortunately, at present, various models of iPhone are very durable, and they won't be stuck for three to five years, especially if you buy a model with a large memory. Basically, if you don't want to change it, the phone won't break down.

but on the processor, this year's iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will use A17 chips produced by TSMC's 3nm process. As for the 2nm process technology mentioned by TSMC in its shareholder report recently, due to the research and development cycle, it should not be seen on the iPhone 16, and the 16 generation should still be a 3nm processor.

interestingly, however, TSMC's 2nm launch is expected to be Apple, and the iPhone 17 series will be upgraded in 225, and the processor will be upgraded to A19. Of course, the specific architecture is still unknown.

The upcoming iOS 17 is said to no longer support the upgrade of iPhone 8 series and iPhone X, and there is another big wave of waiting parties that will soon be backstab by Apple. If it is you, do you choose to get on this year's iPhone 15 or bite your teeth and wait?

iPhone 16

finally, the current price of the iPhone 14 pro in JD.COM is 8,599 yuan, which can be participated in (over 4, minus 1,1 preferential activities), and the hand price is 7,499 yuan, which is a good price in the near future. This mobile phone uses Apple A16 processor, and its performance with 256GB memory version is remarkable. In addition, this mobile phone also uses a 48-megapixel rear main camera. Compared with the previous generation, it has a good improvement in night scene photography ability and detail processing; In addition, the machine also uses IP68 dustproof and waterproof, 12 Hz high screen and 29 hours of long battery life and many other excellent configurations, you deserve it.

well, it should be noted that these news have not been officially confirmed by Apple, so there may be uncertainty. However, judging from Apple's past product release strategy, it usually conducts sufficient research and development and testing before new technologies are ready to be put into the market to ensure their stability and reliability.

so, how do you feel about this news? Will you choose to buy the iPhone 15 series phones to be released this year? Or continue to wait for next year's iPhone 16 phone?
