The Return of the Apple Watch: What to Expect from the 16 Pro Series

According to several sources, the upcoming Apple Watch 16 Pro series is set to make a significant comeback, replacing the blue color scheme that was popular among fans. Unfortunately, natural titanium will be shifting towards a more gray tint for the 16 Pros, which may not be as desirable for some users.

One of the notable changes in the 16 Pros is the introduction of a polished finish, similar to that of the stainless steel band from earlier models, such as the Apple Watch Series 14. This will provide a sleeker look and feel to the watch. Another exciting feature is the dual ion frosted effect on the rear glass, which will be infused into the glass itself, creating a unique visual effect in certain lighting situations.

The display on the 16 Pros is expected to receive a significant upgrade with BRS technology, making the bezels even thinner at 1.5 mm compared to 2.2 mm on earlier models like the Apple Watch Series 15 Pro. According to Instant Digital, the display may be getting 20% brighter in normal situations, with an SDR content peak brightness of 1600, which is a notable improvement over previous models.

Unfortunately, the 16 Pros will not feature the anti-reflective coating that was available on earlier models like the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This coating was highly praised for its ability to reduce glare and reflections, making it easier to view content in bright environments.

Camera Upgrades: A Significant Improvement

The 16 Pro series is expected to receive significant upgrades regarding cameras, with a focus on enhancing the main 48-megapixel camera. The new Sony sensor will feature enhanced dynamic range and noise reduction technology, making it ideal for capturing high-quality images in low-light conditions.

One of the most exciting features of the 16 Pros' cameras is the introduction of a new ultrawide sensor, which is larger than the one used on previous models like the Apple Watch Series 16 Pro. This upgrade will provide users with more flexibility when taking wide-angle shots and will also enable them to capture high-quality images without sacrificing image quality.

Graphics Processing: A New Era

The 16 Pros are expected to receive a significant boost in graphics processing capabilities, thanks to the introduction of the Qualcomm X75 chip, which is being referred to as "5G enhanced" or "6G". This new generation of chips is smaller and more efficient than its predecessor, making it an ideal choice for future-proofing Apple's smartwatches.

The 16 Pros will also feature 8 GB of RAM on both models, with the exception of the Pro Max model. However, the GPU remains unchanged at this point in time.

Storage Upgrades: A Bigger Capacity?

According to a shaky rumor, the 16 Pros may receive bigger storage options, including a 2 TB capacity for the first time ever. This would be a significant upgrade over previous models and would provide users with ample storage space for their music libraries, photos, and apps.

Inflation and Pricing: A Price Increase Expected

Apple has been subsidizing the cost of their smartwatches in recent years, but this is expected to change with the release of the 16 Pros. According to several sources, prices are likely to increase due to rising costs of production and materials.

The 17 Slim Model: A New Branch of the Lineup

The upcoming 17 Slim model is set to replace the unpopular Apple Watch Series 17 Plus, which has struggled to find an audience. The new model will feature a sleeker design with a slim aluminum body and a screen size that falls between 6.3 and 6.9 inches.

The 17 Slim model is expected to receive significant upgrades compared to previous models, including a new chip, improved cameras, and enhanced display capabilities. However, the exact details of these upgrades remain under wraps for now.

In conclusion, the upcoming Apple Watch 16 Pro series promises to bring several exciting changes and upgrades, including a new design language, improved displays, and enhanced camera capabilities. While prices are expected to increase due to inflation, fans of the brand will be eager to get their hands on these latest smartwatches when they become available in the spring of 2025.

A New Era of Smartwatches: The SE4

As we look ahead to the future, it's clear that Apple is working hard to innovate and push the boundaries of what a smartwatch can do. One of the most exciting projects currently underway is the development of the SE4, which promises to bring several significant upgrades over its predecessor.

The SE4 is expected to feature a new foldable design with a solid works user interface, as well as a 6th-generation Gen 6 folding lens. This new technology has been years in the making and is set to revolutionize the way we interact with our smartwatches.

Additionally, the SE4 will feature a slim and compact wireless charging system that promises to be one of the smallest on the market. With these exciting upgrades, the SE4 looks set to become one of the most innovative smartwatches on the market when it becomes available in the future.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys everything Apple Pro here welcome back let's take a deep dive into the iPhone 16 lineup and everything you can expect from Apple come this fall all the leaks thus far we've already got info on the se4 the 17 slim will there be an ultra model and we can take a closer look at the cads a little rusty we'll have to backtrack a little for context but let's try and do this by the way there's a few days left on all that stuff over there the giveaway all the info Down Below in the description if you want to win that in just a few days altogether not too different of a lineup from last year's we have two base models two highend models the 16 16 plus 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max now there was an ultra model that was rumored that one won't be what we thought it was not an Apple Watch Ultra styled phone that's super rugged it's more of an iPhone plus model replacement and that's only happening next year not this year as cool as an Apple Watch styled phone would be across this year's lineup will'll be getting the action button on all models so that means the base models will have it now and there's a new capture button so the capture button is one of the biggest focuses for this year's yeah that's a pun I didn't even realize apple is looking to push the iPhone forward into the pro sector of photography by giving it a two-stage shutter button the Pro Models are gaining 2 in in the display sector but overall it's a much bigger phone when holding both in the hands we Mill the actual Cad and although it doesn't look it it is a substantial difference in real estate quite a big screen difference here 2 in but again that's growing both in length and width and because the Pro Models are bigger the button placements are changing volume buttons are dropping slightly in height power button is being raised the action button over here is actually growing by 1 mm so across the lineup you're getting that action button it's slightly bigger now on this side the capture button replaces the millimeter wave antenna which is being relocated to the other side overall same form factor aside from the 16 models the base models with the vertical camera layout another thing to note is the lar sensor is unusually large and we don't usually get CAD data with the lar inside of it this time it was highlighted for whatever reason so this is potentially a keep out Zone which it usually is when things are exaggerated but very May well be that the iPhone 16 lar will be growing or gaining some sort of enhanced capab ability thanks to the new Apple Vision headset and whatnot Ming quo amongst others have predicted that the microphone will be getting a major overhaul and that's systemwide in order to hear you better because of the enhanced AI capabilities of the iPhone 16 lineup I cannot believe how bad Siri has gotten coming from GPT over to Siri and then asking it to do basic things it's I Apple how could you do this they literally have dropped the ball on that but this year with iOS 18 and with the iPhone 16 in particular thanks to an enhanced neural engine we'll be getting upgraded AI capabilities supposedly Apple will be licensing chat GPT so we'll see what happens there but I'm I'm quite excited for that one if if you haven't used GPT yet it's a fantastic tool pretty much for anyone document work as much as it's making everything derivative online it's also an equally great tool one last thing to note on the capture button is not only will you be able to swipe it left and right it will also have a two-stage Trigg like a high-end DSLR which apple is stepping into the high-end photography Space by placing that button perfectly where when you put your phone into landscape it just it's there and it's going to have a two-stage shutter so it'll be Force sensitive it won't be uh haptic button it'll be mechanical in nature but it'll have a touch sensitive layer on top in our case sorry Shameless plug here we're definitely opening that up being safe this year for the iPhone 16 lineup we've heard about capacitive buttons from Apple earlier supposedly that won't be happening this year but they did place a very large order for them because of the display changes the height is increasing by 3 mm roughly and width by about a millimeter less so on the 16 Pro because it is a smaller phone the max is just going to be the biggest iPhone ever quick recap of what's happening to the Bas models even though many of us don't really care about Bas models Apple will be making some changes to the tiers of iPhone upgrades starting with the base models they'll have an a18 chip that's its own chip for the first time ever designed for the base models not just an up Bend variant from last year so the 16 will be getting a18 the 16 Pros will be getting the a18 pro expect a whole another League of performance just based off of what they've been doing with the M4 M3 M2 that's an M1 Ultra back there and aside from the Vlog video I'm editing right now causing it to crash repeatedly that's the first time I've had that computer choke before like the M1 even serves me to this day well and we're already getting to the M4 and beyond for colors on the 16 yellow is being replaced by white likely some subset of Starlight also the colors themselves as usual Apple mixes them up a little bit the Hues and maybe new names base 16 and 16 plus are rumored to adopt Wi-Fi 6E and will be gaining 8 GB of RAM compared to the current 6 GB now the battery capacities have leaked all of the batteries are getting bigger except for the iPhone 16 plus model which is showing a decrease in milliamp hours and in a shocking turn of events we have our first component leak in a long time the 16 Pro battery which showcases a metal jacket just like on the smaller Apple watch models Apple has been using a metal jacket for the battery supposedly it raises capacity but that's not why apple is doing it X leaker kosut Tomi says that the rejack is happening because of thermals not not because of density or at least that wasn't mentioned and in that vein apple is upgrading the thermal capability of the iPhones I don't think we're getting the copper tubing like Samsung has which would be a great solution they are looking into graphine though and this in conjunction with this battery upgrade means that the thermals will be improving the 16 base models are still not getting promotion they're stuck with an ltps display which means no high refresh rate no always on display and the Pro Models will be gaining some competitive edge with AI thanks to onboard neural processing sadly Touch ID is still a fever dream not coming to the iPhone this year nor next year and under the screen face ID is still a few years away according to mingi quo along with Apple's in-house modem which they've been developing forever they're stuck a few years behind and Qualcomm has announced that Apple has signed with them to keep their 5G modems inside of the iPhone up until 2027 regarding the Pro Models rose gold or Rose is coming back according to several sources replacing the blue color sadly natural titanium would be shifting to more of a gray tint for the 16 Pros there's a chance that the titanium may get more of a polished finish more akin to that of the stainless steel band from 14 pro and earlier and like the current 15s the 16 Pro Models may get a dual ion frosted look glass on the rear where it's actually infused into the glass A very cool effect in certain lighting situations hopefully not this washed out of a color turning to the displays the 16 Pros will feature BRS technology to make the bezels even thinner so 1.5 mm compared to 2.2 on the current 15 pros and according to instant digital the display may be getting 20% brighter in normal situations so SDR content not HDR the peak brightness of 1600 this is 1,200 Peak knits over 1,000 on the 15 Pro Max sadly the 16 Pro Models will not be getting that anti reflective coating that the s24 ultra has several key upgrades regarding cameras so the 16 Pro 6.1 in model is gaining that tetr prism five times optical zoom via the telephoto lens and a shaky rumor regarding the zoom capability on the 16 Pro Max that may be upgraded to 300 mm of focal length compared to 77 on the 15 Pro Max which translates the five times optical zoom on the 16 Pro Max I'm not sure what that would translate to maybe 10 times 12 times and so on the zoom race begins although this one is likely not going to happen exclusively on the 16 Pro Max model the main 48 megapixel camera will be enhanced so upgraded over the 16 pro model it's a new Sony sensor with enhanced dynamic range and noise reduction technology slightly larger of a Sensor 2 which is always welcome both the Pro Models are getting a 48 megap ultrawide sensor which is welcome because no longer do you have to sacrifice between getting the shot you want and a noisy grainy image thanks to a little low light this one is said to exceede in low light conditions as for the a18 pro it's to remain a six core GPU with considerably enhanced neural Engine with many more cores 8 GB of RAM on the pros is continued not sure if there's any speed gains there and the x75 is what Qualcomm is calling 5G enhanced it's generation between 5G and 6G it's a 25% smaller package 20% more efficient as for storage like every other year shaky rumor says bigger storage options we might be getting a 2 tbte iPhone for the first time ever and a likely price increase with the 16 Pros thanks to Rising costs of everything inflation Apple has been subsidizing a lot of the 15 Pro cost so yes it will likely be going up regarding the 17 the 17 slim model is looking to replace the plus which is not doing very well just based from our case sales it is the unpopular child and the 17 slim is essentially a new altogether branch of the lineup a very slim high-end aluminum model not titanium and a screen size that falls in between 6.3 and 6.9 in somewhere around 6.7 it's apparently going to be a Monumental upgrade like the iPhone 10 was something unexpected and it's the ultra model they say this is what the ultra model is or was rumored to be as the 17 slim and the 17 Pros are set to receive 12 GB Ram standard so like always the model coming after this one is set to be far more enticing than this release and looking past that 2 nanometer chips are currently being worked on with apple set to receive them first and even past that 1.6 nanom lastly the se4 we have the cad you can take a look at that in comparison to its derivative 13 shell the notch also is from the 13 only major differences camera lens and and Flash looks awfully small I don't think that's that can't be that can't be the final size release date spring 2025 with a sub $500 price tag and being a part spin device the se4 is to reuse the iPhone 14 battery I do have a lot more 17 stuff I'll save that for the next video it's just nice to even sit down for this one talk to you guys few days left on that giveaway do support our Rebel company which I will plug because we've been working hard on it Gen 6 is coming our folding lens which has a new solid works user I have uh designed I hope you guys go easy on me with that one and the ch2 wireless charger years in the making slimmest one on the market coming soon anyways guys see you on the next one peacewhat's up guys everything Apple Pro here welcome back let's take a deep dive into the iPhone 16 lineup and everything you can expect from Apple
