Three numbers that characterize this year’s announcements
If I were to choose three numbers from the list that are unique to this year, they would be the following three.
[4 stages]This is the first iPhone that allows you to choose the aperture. The main camera, which has been fixed at ƒ/1.78 since iPhone 14 Pro, can now move from ƒ/1.48 to ƒ/4.0. The aperture side is also brighter than ƒ/1.78, which is an evolution that not only “moves” but also “brightens.”
[3x]The surface area of the vapor chamber has been tripled, and Apple claims that “up to 40% higher performance lasts longer than the iPhone 17 Pro.” This year’s feature was that the number of speed (40%) and the mechanism for maintaining speed (3x) were talked about together.
[1 day]Siri AI has a limit on the number of times you can use it per day, and you will be charged a fee if you exceed it. This is the first time that the idea of “number of uses per day” has been included in the iPhone’s functions, and the story that Mr. Cook had predicted at the end of July has become an official document.
The numbers were “fixed”
Even the numbers that haven’t changed have meaning this year.
| item | numbers | comment |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum output of wireless charging | 25W | It will remain unchanged for 3 generations from iPhone 16 in 2024. This year’s evolution is on the wired side |
| Ultra wide-angle/telephoto aperture | ƒ/2.2・ƒ/2.8 | Variable aperture only on main camera |
| Apple Watch Series 12 price | Leave it in place | RAM is 4GB. Click here for details |
| iPhone18 (unbranded) | — | No announcement this time. Pro series and Duo only |
The prices of iPhone Air, 17, 17e, and 16 have been revised, and the 17 Pro series has been discontinued.
numbers not yet available
As of less than two days since the announcement, some numbers have not yet been finalized.
| numbers | situation |
|---|---|
| Selling prices of 4 carriers | No announcement yet. Last year, au announced it late at night the day before reservations started. |
| Battery capacity (mAh) | Apple is undisclosed. The authentication information of 5,567mAh (Pro Max) is likely. Waiting for disassembly |
| RAM capacity | Apple is undisclosed. Prospects revealed by benchmarking and disassembly |
| benchmark score | After September 18th when the actual machine arrives |
| Siri AI maximum number of times per day | Apple is undisclosed. It just says, “It changes depending on the function and congestion situation.” |
As soon as I find out about these, I will write an article about them.
