Apple Inc. has officially launched its eagerly awaited iPhone 16 on Sunday, Sept. 29. With the start of all new features and updates, fans around the globe are excited to see what it has to offer.
The new model comes with a different, more clean cut design with a larger display to improve your visual experience. There are four new versions of this phone: the standard iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
“The screen is really nice and I like the different model types, but I feel like going back to the two cameras right under each other is just a step backwards from what the iPhone 15 looks like,” sophomore Leighton Yearwood said.
One of the biggest features of this phone is the new A18 chip, which Apple says gives the phone a remarkable boost in performance and energy efficiency. This means that the phone will run at faster speeds for gaming, texting, scrolling on social media, etc. The battery on the iPhone 16 can also last way longer than any other past iPhone.
The camera systems have also seen much improvement. This camera has the ability to enhance photo colors and make the image clearer. One of the most exciting features of this phone is the action button. This button allows users to take a photo by pressing the button located on the left of the phone. Even with the new camera design, there are a couple of negative comments.
“I feel like the new camera button is cool but it’s kind of useless because there’s so much going on. If you accidentally click the button, then you will have so many random photos,”sophomore Charlotte Reason said.
Trying to be more sustainable, Apple has been committed to using less greenhouse gasses such as carbon. They limited themselves to just using one electrical grid instead of any other type of energy source. With an added eco bonus, they have also been recycling more of the used parts to be more environmentally friendly.
Since the first iPhone was released in 2007 to now, Apple has made major improvements and innovations but they still have a couple of improvements that could be made, such as taking more steps to being eco-friendly by making electronics with more renewable energy sources. Additionally they could add some more accessibility features like making the focus settings more convenient.
