Everything you need to know about the new iPhone16 Pro and Pro Max Artificial intelligence debuts on smartphones

September no longer just means Fashion Week, returning from holidays, and going back to school. For years, the month that for many represents an alternative January also hosts the presentation of Apple's new iPhone. The event always takes place in Cupertino, California, where the company's headquarters are located, and it represents an unmissable moment for all technology enthusiasts. In 2007, in the same rooms where the new iPhone 16 was unveiled yesterday, Steve Jobs had introduced the very first Apple smartphone, which would forever change the world of mobile phones. The new iPhone features refinements of previous versions and a series of rather surprising innovations. Let's take a look at what sets the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max apart from previous versions. 

The A18 Pro chip

Also making its debut on iPhone is the Camera Control, a feature that allows quick and intuitive access to the camera system through pressure sensors and improved previews. The camera on both models can record 4K videos at 120 fps in Dolby Vision, boasts a 5x zoom, and a new 48MP ultra-wide angle lens. To ensure studio-quality audio, Apple has enhanced the device's microphones by adding advanced features such as Audio Mix for professional editing. 

The use of recycled materials to create iPhones

Pursuing the "Apple 2030" goal for carbon neutrality, Apple is committed to using the highest possible amount of recycled materials in its new products. The iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are made with over 25% recycled materials, 100% recycled aluminum for the internal structure, 100% recycled cobalt, and over 95% recycled lithium for the battery. The new models are mercury and PVC-free, and the packaging is made entirely from fiber-based materials. With the new launch, Apple is also investing in renewable energy projects, ensuring that its data centers, including those for Apple Intelligence, use 100% renewable energy.
