The iPhone 16's BIGGEST Upgrade!

the iPhone 16's biggest upgrade is not going to be the larger sizes or the new main camera sensor on the 16 Pro Max or even the new capture button it's actually going to be the a18 pro chip and here I'm not referring to the performance upgrade that we'll get which by the way are significant but rather everything else that this chip will enable us to do oh and we're also doing an iPhone 15 giveaway more details on how to enter later in the video okay so there are three areas of improvements that the a18 pro ship will give us AI battery life and thermals and while the a17 pro was limited to the iPhone 15 Pros only this year we are set to get both the a18 pro as well as a standard a18 in the non-pro models of the iPhone 16 likely with some of the cores disabled which means that all of these improvements will apply to all iPhone 16 models so let's start off with AI which is really the biggest iPhone 16 upgrade and something that the a18 chip will be extremely crucial for Apple has already teased AI as being part of wwc 2024 and we already know that Apple's planning to launch some big AI features in iOS 18 there're said to be a completely revamped version of Siri as well as tons of on device AI features in Apple's other first party apps and of course to be able to power all of those features Apple also needs a chip which would be the a18 now with the a17 pro Apple more than doubled the neural engines performance from 17 tops or trillions of operations per second to 35 which was actually more than even the N3 chips neural engine which can do 18 and while sure measuring just tops alone can be misleading as it really depends on the use cases we do know that the A7 Pro was already a big upgrade over the a16 in terms of its neural engine in fact if we take a look at the a17 pro chip design we can see that a significant amount of space is actually taken by that neural engine and I think what's really surprising here is that Apple has been able to do all of this with the same number of cores for their new engine which literally stay the same since the iPhone 12 at 16 chus and with the a18 chip apple is said to be significantly upgrading their new engine cores which makes me think that they might even double the amount from 16 to 32 in turn making the whole chip even bigger now after hearing this you probably have two questions number one what sort of AI features will we see and number two will the iPhone 15 Pro also have those features considering that it also has a very powerful neural engine well to answer the first question Apple has been exploring on device generative AI so we could see things such as automatic transcriptions and translations from voice notes being able to straighten and extend images and also being able to quickly summarize notes and emotes essentially the type of features that we've already started seeing on other phones like the s24 ultra now I should also mention that the Spy ds24 Ultra having a ton of really cool AI features including things like being able to automatically translate a phone call in real time I didn't actually find myself using any of them and the reason being that most of these features are restricted to Samsung's own apps and since I don't use Samsung's browser or Samsung's Gallery app I just had no use for those features on my iPhone I definitely do use more of Apple's own apps but even there I still prefer using Google photos over Apple photos Google Map Maps over Apple Maps as well as notion for all of my important noes as opposed to Apple nodes so I think that most of the I features that we'll get at least the on device ones will be app specific rather than OS specific however I pretty sure that we'll still get some features that will work just about anywhere probably some sort of Siri recommendations which brings us to the second question will the iPhone 15 Pro also have some of these AI features and personally I think that it will for sure have the power to drive those on device AI features after all apple is already using AI in many areas of their iOS photos automatically categorize your photos based on faces places and more Siri is already able to give you suggestions based on your app usage and then the journal app already knows a ton about you based on everything you do in a day and all of this is already processed on device now whether or not Apple actually gives the 15 Pro these a features or they decide to limit these to the iPhone 16 only is a whole another story after all apple is known to software lock a number of their features to their latest iPhones only the iPhone 15 for example introduced the new 24 megapixel photo mode which was entirely lacking from the 14 Pros despite using the exact same a16 chip then night mode was only introduced with the iPhone 11s and at first only on the main module then the 12's addited to the ultra wide and then the 13s addited to the telephoto 2 and today the latest SC still doesn't have it same goes for Siri which was initially limited to the iPhone 4S despite the iPhone 4 clearly being able to run it as shown by certain jailbreaks so in my opinion Apple will for sure limit some AI features to the iPhone 16s only in order to sell more units but I do believe that the iPhone 15 Pros will still get some AI features as well just probably not all of them kind of similar to what Samsung has done with the s24 and the s23 where the s23 had some AI features whereas the s24 had all of them now aside from AI the second big iPhone 16 upgrade made possible by the a18 Chip is going to be even further improved batter life but before that here's how we can enter our iPhone 15 giveaway simply join our new zenotech Discord Link in the description and then go to the competition

birds in our Apple wallpapers for IOS and Android okay and now back to the iPhone 16's battery the iPhone's battery has had this really weird Evolution the iPhone 11s had a remarkable battery life then the 12 was a downgrade the 13 was an upgrade the 14 was again a downgrade and the 15 was another upgrade so we kind of have this pattern here which may imply that the iPhone 16 is going to be another downgrade which if we take a look at the larger screens on the Pro Models and the larger and more powerful neural engine it does make sense that the 16 will consume more power however because of a number of reasons I do think that the iPhone 16's battery might actually break this cycle you see the a18 chip is set to be manufactured on tsmc's new n3e process as opposed to the n3b that the A7 Pro is manufactured on the n3e is still based on a 3 NM process but it is a refined version of it that has between 30 to 35% lower power consumption and I should also mention that the entry e is going to be tsmc's main manufacturing node going forward n3b was a node that only Apple was using and not only did it take longer to produce and was way more expensive but n3b was not even compatible with n3e at all so what this means is that the 18 chip will need to be designed entirely from scratch on this new entry e nodes rather than being a modified a17 Pro resulting in even further power efficiency gains now on top of this we already know that the iPhone 16s are getting larger batteries The Only Exception being the iPhone 16 plus which is decreasing by 88.6% but all the other iPhones are going up so combining the efficiency of the A8 chip with the larger batteries I think that we may even see a better battery life or at least the same one as on the iPhone 15s when it comes to the iPhone 16s well probably not the 16 plus and the third upgrade that the A8 ship will give us is improved thermal performance there were many reports especially at launch that the iPhone 15 Pros overheated so much that they even gave you a temperature warning whilst charging something that I've experienced Too Apple did eventually fix this bya software update but even now when you're gaming the iPhone does overheat quite heavily resulting in some serious throttling after long gaming sessions Android manufacturers have sold this issue by introducing Vapor Chambers phones like the OnePlus 12 have some truly massive ones indeed something that Apple has been avoiding for many years now luckily this seems to be changing with the iPhone 16s not only is the A8 chip going to be producing less Heat by being manufactured on the new N3 node but apple is said to be introducing graphine cooling to the iPhone 16 as well as a metal shielding to the battery both to help reduce internal temperatures now I should mention that Vapor Chambers are still said to be more capable at cooling than graphing sheets which are usually very thin but having graphing would will be able to reduce the iPhone's internal temperature without a need for Apple to fully redesign the internals so it will for sure be more effective than what we have now which is basically nothing so these are the three benefits of the 18 ship but of course we are also getting even more performance out of it some leak benchmarks that were posted on webo seem to show significant improvements over the A7 Pro the first post now deleted showed a 22% higher single core performance and a 28% faster multi-core while the second showed a 19% faster multicore overall the 18 Pro is inde looking like it's going to be a beast and I cannot wait for all the improvements and the new features that it will bring to the iPhone 16 lineup and if you want to continue this conversation then definitely check out our Discord Channel
