Transcripts

we're now just over one month away from

Apple releasing the iPhone 16 in

September so today I want to go over the

latest leaks and rumors as well as a

batch of good and bad news for these

phones as we are so close to launch now

we're hearing the features that have

made the cut and the features that have

gotten postponed or pushed to next year

so let's start off with the bad news

first for months now and especially

considering the designs of this year's

iPhones we have known that the big

feature is not going to be what you can

actually see it's not the vertically

stacked camera on the lower end models

with the new capture button that Apple

has adding and it's certainly not the

design of the Pro Models which looks

pretty much one to one to last year the

flagship upgrade for every iPhone 16

this year is going to be the new AI

features and everything that Apple

brings to these phones via Apple

intelligence which includes some really

cool features that Apple has already

shown off and while for a couple of

months we weren't able to go Hands-On

with these Apple just released the first

iOS 18.1 beta to developers where a

number of new features are finally

enabled for the first time we've gotten

to see the brand new Siri UI which in

person does look absolutely unreal Siri

now has way more knowledge about Apple

products you can speak to Siri way more

comfortably by rolling over your words

or correcting yourself mid-sentence

we've got the new text generation tools

where it can rewrite things to be a

certain style either more kind or more

professional we've got suggested replies

in places like messages summarization of

emails which is actually really dope and

in other places you can now search for

photos using more natural language being

specific in the ability to generate

movies using AI here's the thing though

as of right now that's pretty much all

of the Apple intelligence features that

we can currently play with and

everything else from the new version of

Siri that actually knows you and has

that personal context to Custom Image

and Emoji generation even cooler things

like the photos retouching AI

capabilities well Apple's not rolling

all of those out at the same time as

these other features they're kind of

fragmenting the release of these Apple

intelligence features which immediately

made me wonder well if AI is the main

upgrade for the iPhone 16 surely it

wouldn't be delayed past the launch

right but well according to some new

reports Apple's had a change of plans

and they have delayed the launch of AI

features with apple Intelligence on the

iPhone 16 until sometime with the

release of iOS 18.1 in October which

suggests that when you go and buy an

iPhone 16 on day one when it releases in

September it won't have any new AI

features built in you'll have to wait

about a month for those to get added to

the phone through a software update now

upon initially hearing this bad news it

just didn't make any sense to me I mean

how would Apple actually launch the

iPhone 16 without you actually being

able to use the big new feature right

away but then I was reminded to just

last year in 2023 with what Apple did

with the launch of the Apple Watch

series 9 see the headline feature for

last year's Apple watch was double tap

where you can pinch your fingers

together to perform an action but when

you bought the Apple Watch series 9 in

September right away the feature was not

there in fact it took Apple about a

month and a half until the first major

watchos 10 update when we got watch OS

10.1 that included the double tap

feature basically an exact parallel to

what it appears apple is going to be

doing with this year's iPhone 16 lineup

it's like the features come in just not

right away by the way if you love these

renders and you want to see more make

sure you hit that subscribe button so

you don't miss out on any future videos

luckily that's all the bad news

everything else in this video is a bunch

of great things we've heard for the

iPhone 16 lineup so let's move on to

that now starting off with a new rumor

that I missed from a few months ago

saying that the iPhone 16 would be

Apple's first phone to potentially ship

with two terab of storage which would be

double the amount of storage that Apple

currently offers it's been sitting at a

terabyte for a while now and while I

didn't believe this initially I could

absolutely see an apple enjoying the

ability to price that 2 tby storage

option A lot higher potentially sending

a 2 terb iPhone 16 Pro Max close to

$22,000 which is I don't even know how

to comprehend that much money for a

phone but hey maybe you're looking for

an external SSD for your iPhone and

that's actually why I partnered up with

charge who sponsored today's video to

show you their brand new charge disc SSD

enclosure the fully transparent design

on this thing is so cool and installing

the 2330 size SSD is easy you just pop

it open right here slide it in and you

instantly have crazy fast external

storage because the charge disc has

active cooling yeah there's a little fan

built in here so that when you're using

the SSD you're getting absolute maximum

performance because it won't overheat

which is an issue I have had with

literally every other SSD I have ever

owned in my life and let me just tell

you this has saved me more time in a

week of using it then I've spent in my

entire life wasted on everything else

now for additional protection you can

put it inside of the little case that it

comes with and there's even a USP cable

attachment that doubles as a lanyard but

you can also pop it straight into your

iPhone and record video from the camera

app directly into the SSD but most

importantly it is super fun and right

now you can grab the charge disc SSD

enclosure for yourself when you use my

link Down Below in the description a

huge thank you to charge for making this

thing it's so cool uh okay now let's get

back to the rest of the video okay next

the cameras on the iPhone 16 lineup

honestly up until this point we have not

heard that many rumors other than Apple

adding the 48 megapixel sensor to the

ultra wide lens and maybe some other

General sensor improvements but now

we've heard a couple of additional

things including the fact that the

iPhone 16 Pro for sure is going to be

getting that 5x telephoto Zoom that is

currently only restricted on the iPhone

15 Pro Max apple is bringing that down

to the smaller pro this year but

according to a report from the

information they also write and it

sounds like they could bring that 5x

telephoto down to some of the other

non-pro cheaper iPhones for the first

time now it's possible I'm reading this

in correctly but they mentioned bringing

down the 5x telephoto to some of Apple's

smaller iPhones so would Apple

potentially swap out the ultra wide lens

and their cheaper iPhones and finally

put the telephoto Zoom instead again

hard to tell what they exactly meant by

that but it does seem to indicate that

potentially the lower end iPhones you

get a crazy good lens next we've also

gotten some details that reiterate what

apple is is planning to do with the

capture button in that it's not going to

be a physical button just like the power

switch on your phone that simply you

press it to take a photo or video

according to a new report apple is

planning to make this touch and pressure

sensitive so that you'll be able to

swipe over on it left or right to zoom

and lightly press to basically Focus

your phone basically sounds like Apple's

planning to turn the phones into a

traditional digital camera where you

lightly press to focus and then you

press it down to actually take the photo

which that alone is going to make this a

massive year for photography that apple

is basically turning your phone into a

professional style DSLR camera it also

sounds like this is going to be Apple's

first implementation of those haptic

responsive buttons that don't physically

move but just respond to pressure and

vibrate rather than being a physical

button that moves also for cameras it

sounds like apple will be making some

minor changes to the face ID system on

the front of all iPhone 16s this year

this comes according to digi times and I

believe you've heard this maybe once

before there are no specific details as

to exactly what face ID changes are

coming it's not going to be anything

dramatic like a smaller dot apple is

still keeping the same size Dynamic

Island we have heard that a number of

times unfortunately that was pushed to

next year wish we had some more details

about what exact changes were coming but

it just sounds like some minor face ID

upgrades are going to be happening too

next we've got some big battery updates

we have heard that Apple was planning to

switch at least one iPhone to these new

metal batteries that are more efficient

and easier to swap out and repair and

now according to the information that is

actually coming to two iPhone 16s

specifically basally the regular iPhone

16 and regular iPhone 16 Pro the two

smaller phones in the lineup and the

reason this is so good is because these

two smaller iPhones have significantly

worse battery life than the larger model

so the fact that apple is making these

energy density and repairability

upgrades to these smaller iPhones first

is huge if you don't buy the big one

every year and specifically if you are

buying an iPhone 16 pro this year apple

is finally increasing the charging

speeds have not just wired through USBC

but also through mag set yeah according

to this rumor Apple's going to be

upgrading the current Peak charging rate

of the pro iPhones from 27 Watts up to

40 which is a huge jump year over-ear

with mag safe also increasing pretty

significantly from 15 watts up to 20

watts now and the fact that it sounds

like APPA was making some massive step

changes to battery life or at least

setting up the foundation for

significantly longer battery life into

the future I just think this is the best

news for iPhone batteries that we've

gotten ever really because Apple has

never changed the construction C to this

metal casing and I think it's going to

be a massive deal tying directly into

this is something that apple is also

going to be fixing on the iPhone 16

lineup is Apple is working to improve

the heat management of the iPhone 16

series by adding a larger graphite sheet

on the inside that will absorb heat more

efficiently than the current design that

Apple's been using and you might recall

it was a pretty big controversy at

launch for the 15 series specifically

how they were overheating really quickly

and really easily at launch and I will

say to this day even just now I'm

looking at a note on my phone and it

it's not warm it also ain't cool so

while Apple has definitely made some

software improvements to improve the

heat management over time this physical

piece of Hardware being added is just

going to make it a lot better especially

for sustained loads if you're doing

something like gaming so super cool to

see apple sort of slightly admit there

was a problem while also fixing it and

making it better at the same time now

finally routing things out if you are

buying the iPhone 16 pro this year we

have heard a number of rumors in the

past month that the new color for this

year is without a doubt absolutely going

to be a new rose color and the return of

gold in a way it's still not going to be

a really vibrant color it's going to be

a bit muted it goes in line with

previous Pro Apple colors where they are

a bit more reserved I think it's better

than what we've gotten in recent years

and a bit more exciting than what we've

seen nonetheless I don't think it's

going to be the color for me but I know

a lot of folks have been wanting to see

a pink Pro iPhone forever and I could

genuinely as silly as it sounds a lot of

regular iPhone users upgrading to the

Pro Models for the first time just to

get this colorway so all things

considered with us being just over a

month out from the launch of the iPhone

16 things are looking pretty good even

if the headline feature won't be there

on day one finally as always want to

give a huge shout out to Cody as well as

artifax for the absolutely incredible

renders that you've seen throughout this

entire video it would not have been

possible without them so give them a

follow link down below make sure you

subscribe for way more on the iPhone 6

we're going to be ramping up the content

as we get closer because I am so excited

and drop a like if you enjoyed watching

this one I love you guys you're the best

yall My Goats ffr hundo and I will catch

you I've been Sam and I'll catch you in

the next one byebye
