Here are the 8 biggest news from the iPhone 16 event

Applov dogodek “It’s Glowtime” je za nami. Že res, da je glavna zvezda dogodka bil ponovno iPhone, vendar je Apple poleg tega predstavil še nekaj drugih zanimivih novosti, med drugim posodobitve svoje linije pametnih ur in slušalk AirPods.

Let's take a look at the 8 biggest innovations brought by the iPhone 16 event.

The iPhone 16 got two new buttons

Poleg vsem že poznanega “Action Button” gumba iz prejšnje serije naprav imata iPhone 16 in 16 Plus novi dodaten gumb, nekaj podobnega DSLR-ju, s katerim lahko snemamo videe, zajemamo fotografije, ali prilagajamo nastavitve. Oba modela imata zadnje kamere postavljene eno pod oz. nad drugo, podpirata pa videe, ki jih je možno gledati z Apple Vision Pro.

The iPhone 16 is equipped with a faster A18 processor, which is said to process new UI functionalities coming to the device, but not (for now) to Europe. The starting price of the 15.49-centimeter model is $799 (calculated 725 euros), while the price of the 17-centimeter model is of course higher and amounts to $899 (calculated 816 euros). Available colors are white, black, green, pink and blue. Sales of the new model will begin on September 20.

The iPhone 16 Pro has bigger screens and better cameras

IPhone 16 Pro in Pro Max imata nekoliko večje zaslone, pri čemer ima osnovni model Pro 6,3-palčni/16 centimetrski zaslon (namesto 6,1-palčnega/15.49-centimetrskega), medtem ko ima Pro Max 6,9-palčni/17,53-centimetrski zaslon (namesto 6,7-palčnega/17-centimetrskega). Tako kot osnovni iPhone 16 ima tudi linija Pro nov gumb za zajem. Imajo tudi nadgrajen čip A18 Pro, pri čemer ima različica Pro Max “najboljšo življenjsko dobo baterije med iPhoni doslej”, pravi Apple.

V nasprotju z lanskim modelom oba telefona – ne le Pro Max – dobivata enako 5x telefoto kamero z zasnovo “tetraprizme”, skupaj z nadgrajenim ultraširokim senzorjem z 48 milijoni slikovnih pik in 48 MP “Fusion kamero”. Telefoni Pro so na voljo v zlati, črni, beli in »naravnem« titanu (siva). iPhone 16 Pro v osnovi stane 999 dolarjev (preračunanih 906 eur), medtem ko Pro Max stane 1199 dolarjev (preračunanih 1087 eur). V petek bodo na voljo bodo za prednaročilo, v trgovinah pa bodo 20. septembra.

iPhone 16 dobiva “Visual Intelligence”

Vsi modeli iPhone 16 so pripravljeni za “Apple Intelligence” – nove funkcije umetne inteligence, ki jih bo Apple lansiral v beta različici naslednji mesec, začenši v angleščini. Te funkcije vključujejo možnost iskanja slik v vaši knjižnici tako, da jih opišete in ustvarite emoji po meri.

Apple pa je z novo funkcijo, imenovano “Visual Intelligence”, dodatno posodobil tudi gumb za nadzor kamere, ki samodejno išče stvari, ki jih fotografirate. Uporabite ga lahko tudi tako, da na primer poslikate plakat nekega koncerta in si ga preprosto shranite v vaš koledar.

The Watch Series 10 smartwatch comes with a larger screen and a thinner profile

The Apple Watch Series 10 has the slimmest profile ever, along with a larger wide-angle OLED display that Apple says is up to 40 percent brighter when viewed at an angle. By measuring breathing disorders during sleep, the watch is able to detect signs of sleep apnea. It also has a built-in depth and water temperature sensor.

The new device is available in polished aluminum black, with matte options for rose gold and silver, or in the classic polished titanium combination. According to Apple, the Watch Series 10 is 20 percent lighter than the Series 9. The price of the Watch Series 10 starts at $399 (calculated 362 euros) and will be available on September 20.

Apple Watch Ultra from now on in a new satin black color

Watch Ultra ni prejela nobenih večjih posodobitev, je pa Apple napovedal elegantno satenasto črno barvo in pašček “Milanese Loop” iz titana, za katerega Apple pravi, da je “narejen iz titana, odpornega proti koroziji, in zasnovan za potapljanje.”

The new generation of AirPods offers better sound quality and ANC technology

Apple je končno predstavil slušalke AirPods 4, ki so opremljene z novim čipom H4, ki omogoča boljšo kakovost zvoka. Apple pravi, da so nove slušalka AirPods z zasnovo “open-ear” “najudobnejši AirPods model doslej”. Imajo tudi koristne funkcije, kot sta glasovna izolacija in način prosojnosti.

AirPods 4 have a smaller USB-C compatible charging case with a speaker that lets you emit a sound when you try to locate them with the Find My app. Apple is also adding active noise cancellation to the next, more expensive generation of headphones. The cheaper AirPods model costs from 129 dollars (calculated 117 euros) of the devices, and the version with ANC costs 179 dollars (calculated 162 euros). Both go on sale on September 20.

The AirPods Pro 2 headphone model will soon work as a hearing aid

Later this year, Apple will start selling AirPods Pro 2 as an over-the-counter hearing aid. Apple is preparing some hearing-focused features, and for the AirPods Pro 2, it is preparing a hearing protection feature and a clinical hearing test.

AirPods Max also have USB-C charging

Apple has also come up with a small update to its AirPods Max headphones. The device comes in a few new colors and Lightning charging has been replaced by USB-C.
