Why there’s more than meets the eye in Apple’s latest iPhone camera

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-06-02 21:00:00

If you’re coming from an iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone XS, Apple’s newest iPhone may look like a downgrade when it comes to the camera. Fortunately, there’s more than meets the eye in Apple’s latest iPhone camera. Way back in 2016, Apple released the iPhone 7 Plus. This was the first model to include two rear-facing cameras. In addition to the standard wide-angle camera, iPhone 7 Plus included Apple’s first telephoto lens. This enabled 2x optical zoom without the image degradation associated with di

The iPhone 16e is powered by the A18 chip, but there’s one difference between its GPU and the version in the chip that powers the iPhone 16. While the iPhone 16 has a 5-core GPU, the iPhone 16E has a 4-core GPU. New Geekbench results for the iPhone 16e reveal just how much of a performance impact buyers can expect, plus a few other tidbits about the device. The Geekbench results were spotted by MySmartPrice this morning. In testing, the iPhone 16e scored 24,188 points in graphic testing. This

Testing confirms MagSafe doesn’t interfere with Apple’s C1 modem in iPhone 16e

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-06-02 21:32:05

The iPhone 16e lacks support for MagSafe charging, an omission that has dominated conversations about Apple’s cheapest iPhone model this week. Initially, there was speculation that MagSafe might have been excluded due to interference with Apple’s C1 chip, which is its first-ever cellular modem designed for the iPhone. Yesterday, Apple confirmed that the C1 has nothing to do with the omission of MagSafe on the iPhone 16e. New testing conducted by an iPhone case accessory manufacturer and shared

The price has been bumped up, but so have the specs. If you couldn’t stomach $800 for a new iPhone with Apple Intelligence, don’t worry: Apple just announced the iPhone 16e. At $599, it strikes a balance on specs, which is the soft and cosy way to say it doesn’t have everything. It has a lot, though. With a 6.1-inch screen, it’s a much bigger device than the 4.7-inch iPhone SE, with a notch for FaceID (no more TouchID), USB-C (adios, Lightning) and the company’s A18 processor. There’s also an

Oppo's new foldable phone is one of the thinnest I've seen - and I hope OnePlus and Samsung follow suit

zdnet.com Prakhar Khanna 2025-06-02 19:00:19

Prakhar Khanna/ZDNET The world's thinnest book-style foldable, the Oppo Find N5, is finally here. I've had it for a week, and it has surprised me in more ways than one -- both positively and negatively. At 8.93mm thick when folded, it's closer to slab phones than any other foldable has ever been. But that slimness didn't come without compromises. Judging by the on-paper camera specifications, I expected it to be underwhelming, but it's better than other foldable phones in almost every regard.

The Next iPad Needs an iPhone 16E Moment. But Will Its Cost Go Up, Too?

cnet.com Scott Stein 2025-06-02 22:00:00

Apple gave us a February surprise this year, launching a new entry-level iPhone ahead of schedule. The iPhone 16E is full of most of the things people want in an iPhone, plus hosts many features of the iPhone 16. But, while it's entry-level, it's not low-cost. As I wait for a new iPad to replace Apple's 10th-gen iPad base model, likely coming in the next month or so, I'm encouraged and concerned that Apple will follow a similar path as the 16E. Actually, it seems inevitable. But maybe I'm wrong.
