iPhone 16 launched

Apple unveiled the iPhone 16 series of smartphones during its "Glowtime" event on Monday, 9 September 2024.

The most significant change is the inclusion of a dedicated camera control button. The new button is featured on all four iPhone 16 models.

I don’t link bums, a pretty good local tech journo.

It's not a button. Tech journalism these days.

Button: a small device on a piece of electrical or electronic equipment which is pressed to operate it.

Its a button

 

[Dups!]

As expected, nothing to write home about. Same old same old. AI features aside, this looks like the way forward with cellphones... they will all be a rehash of the same things.

See you next year Apple.

Yes, I know it's a shitpost, but so much of it is true. Apple could be so much better, but it's not.

Its a button

Still not a button. It's a sensor.

So Camera improvements finally. Button really not? Most will use a remote button anyway.

In all honesty, most use their phones as cameras these days. So keep up or loose out. So looking through the specs there is actually a few minor changes it the front glass, a few other things.

As for the MicroSD? Its as useful as a Rom drive on an Xbox, its cheaper to buy your games generally on the store, than buy the physical discs, or so I have found.

What do you mean by the Micro SD reference?

Apple need an AirPlay 3 to support high resolution audio.

AirPlay 2 was announced in 2017 already. We're heading in 2025

With a DXOMARK Camera score of 115, the Sony Xperia 1 III places itself in the lower ranks of all the Ultra Premium devices we have tested,

That's a 3.5 year phone ... and it still ranks higher than the iPhone SE 2022?

Its a device, that you press to activate. So its a button.

$1300 vs $430 so yes.

 

[Dolby]

$1300 vs $430 so yes.

It's $1300 because of other expensive tech that make it that price .... it's a 4K OLED display & 12GB RAM

Anyway - since when do you like DXOMark?

Apple have never been #1 on there and thus, most Apple right it off.

Yeah, so the base iPhone is not worth the pennies IMO, even as an Apple user. The iPhone really is the iPhone Pro and Pro Max models. Don't even get us started with the SE models (whew, poverty). I wouldn't buy a base iPhone.
