Contexto histórico

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max were announced on September 9, 2024, and released on September 20, 2024. The iPhone 16 Pro models continue the edge-to-edge display design but introduce thinner display borders, giving them the thinnest borders of any Apple product to date; iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature larger 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED displays, respectively, with iPhone 16 Pro Max offering the largest iPhone display ever. Both Pro models come in four new colors, Desert Titanium, Natural Titanium, White Titanium and Black Titanium, offering a lightweight, scratch-resistant exterior. The Desert Titanium color replaced the Blue Titanium color used on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The iPhone 16 Pro models are powered by the Apple A18 Pro chip, built using a second-generation 3-nanometer process (TSMC N3E), significantly enhancing performance, especially in AI-related tasks. All ‌iPhone 16‌ models have an improved thermal design. The main logic board has been updated, centralizing chip placement and optimizing the surrounding architecture. The iPhone 16 Pro models introduce an upgraded camera system. They feature a 48 MP wide camera with sensor-shift optical image stabilization (OIS) and dual-pixel phase detection auto-focus (PDAF). The ultrawide camera is 48 MP with a 120-degree field of view, optimized for low-light conditions. A 5× optical zoom telephoto camera, which was previously exclusive to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, now comes standard on both models. All iPhone 16 models now come with a new button called Camera Control. This button is on the right side of the device, and allows the user to open the camera app, switch between different camera controls and features, and taking photos and videos. The button can distinguish between light and hard presses. By pressing the button once, it opens the camera app. By lightly pressing it twice, it opens a small menu with different camera controls, such as zoom or tone, and if a user press it hard once, it takes a photo. If a user holds it for a few seconds, it starts a video. One of the iPhone 16 Pro's flagship features is its integration with Apple Intelligence, a suite of AI-driven capabilities that leverage on-device processing for privacy-focused tasks. Apple Intelligence enhances Siri's functionality, improving natural language understanding and introducing generative features such as custom emojis and Visual Intelligence, which can analyze photos and identify objects in real-time. The AI capabilities are designed to run on-device, minimizing data sharing with external servers. The iPhone 16 Pro model starts at $999 U.S., while the Pro Max model starts at $1,199 U.S.
