Anyone know where the filming location of the Apple Ultra Watch 2? The scene behind the apple manager wearing red athletic jacket. It was gorgeous

Apple Announces iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max with Larger Displays, New Camera Control, and More

After reading the specs if Apple's web site, I am strongly gravitating towards getting an iPhone 16 Pro 6.3 512 GB. I recently picked up an iPhone 15 Plus (same size as iPhone 16 Plus) and the phone was just physically too big to hold in my hand comfortably.
To be fair this has been going on for decades at Apple. Remember the iMac DV, DVR, DVR+ from way back when?
Yes, this is what I want to know as well. Some years, Pro Max models have better sensors/cameras than the Pro models. If both models have the same sensor/camera this year, then I am getting the Pro (coming from an XS Max). Especially since the Pro is getting an increase in size.
I see no reason to upgrade my 15pm for at least 3 more years. Prices keep going up with nothing new introduced. Not that I had any intention of upgrading as I have only had my phone for 4 months.
I don't understand the capture button. It has a pressure sensor and a mechanical switch, and they'll be adding a 2-stage press later in software.
Why not...just have a 2-stage mechanical switch? Nokia was building those into phones over a decade ago.

I'd probably push it another year, but the middling battery life is annoying to me. I having to charge halfway through the day and then it gets worse in poorer cell service areas :/. Hopefully the Qualcomm mode this year is better!
So much for all those „leakers“ who know everything in advance, right?

Same 16 core neural engine. Even the same 35 TOPS as the A17 Pro.
iPhone 16 Rumored to Feature 'Significantly' Upgraded Neural Engine for iOS 18's Generative AI Features
Apple's next-generation A18 and M4 chips for future iPhone and Mac models will feature an upgraded Neural Engine with "significantly"...

Yes. It seems to me that, fortunately, Apple is not pushing buyers for bigger phone for better specs.. rumours were saying only the max gets a new Sony camera sensor, fortunately not the case..
As iPhone improvements tapered off, starting with the iPhone X, I moved to an even model purchase cycle. Given that improvements seem to be slowing down further, how many of you are considering moving to an every third year (or more) phone upgrade cycle?
Sucks when you want some of the Pro features but felt the 15 Pro was already too big and heavy and then they come out with the replacement that is even bigger and heavier. 😢
That's not for us to come up with. That's for the most valuable company in the world that used to be renowned for innovation that has now been re-hashing the same stale basic design for half a decade to come up with.
What are some reasons I should consider getting the Pro? During Pro segment in the keynote, all they talked about was film producing, cinematography, and music production. I'm none of those, so it makes me feel like the regular 16 should be fine. Why is everyone else getting Pros?
I love how the Pro designation at Apple now seems to mean influencers and YouTubers. 4k120! Film your next The Weeknd music video in slow motion on iPhone! The new iPhone Pro now in Kardashian gold! Streamline your Watch Ultra workflows in black!
Give me a break!
Give me a break!
Well this has to be the most meh phone launch since last year.
Apple today announced the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max—its latest flagship smartphones—featuring larger displays, an all-new Camera Control button, and the A18 Pro chip.
The iPhone 16 Pro has a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max features a 6.9-inch display—the biggest iPhone display ever. The borders around the display are the thinnest of any Apple device. The titanium frame now features a new blasted finish and comes in a refreshed selection of color options: a darker Black Titanium, brighter White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and a new Desert Titanium.
The devices are powered by the new A18 Pro chip, made using 2nd-generation 3nm technology. It offers a 16-core Neural Engine with 17% more memory bandwidth, making Apple Intelligence tasks up to 15% faster compared to the previous generation. The 6-core CPU features two performance cores and four efficiency cores, providing 15% faster performance and 20% more efficiency. Additionally, the 6-core GPU is up to 20% faster than the A17 Pro, with hardware-accelerated ray tracing for more realistic lighting in games. Faster USB-C speeds and twice the data processing for video encoding are also supported.
The iPhone 16 Pro features a new "Fusion" 48-megapixel camera with a 2nd-generation quad-pixel sensor, enabling zero shutter lag for 48-megapixel ProRAW and HEIF photos. The ultra-wide camera has a 48-megapixel quad-pixel sensor with autofocus for the first time, and the 5x tetraprism telephoto camera is now available on both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Apple has overhauled Photographic Styles to allow real-time adjustments to colors and shadows, adapting specific tones in the image. Styles can be personalized more deeply, with new black-and-white and natural options, and can be applied during live previews or after capturing the photo.
The 48-megapixel Fusion camera on the iPhone 16 Pro also supports 4K120 fps video capture in full HDR, which can be used in slo-mo or regular video mode. Playback options include 120, 60, 30, or 24 fps, with intelligent audio treatment for wind noise reduction. The ability to capture spatial audio allows for more immersive recordings, particularly when paired with AirPods or Apple Vision Pro.
The Camera Control is a dedicated, flush sapphire crystal button with haptic feedback dedicated to camera app functions. Clicking the Camera Control launches the camera app. Clicking again takes a picture, while clicking to hold records video. The Camera Control also offers touch gestures, allowing it to distinguish between a click and a lighter press. A light press reveals a new clean preview to help users focus on framing the shot, while a new overlay allows for quick access to camera functions like zoom and switching between lenses. Users can press lightly twice to see other controls and slide to the preferred one. Camera Control will be updated later this year to lock focus and exposure with a half-press.
The Camera Control also gains Visual Intelligence, a new Apple Intelligence feature exclusive to the iPhone 16 lineup. Visual Intelligence is invoked by the Camera Control, allowing users to point their iPhone's camera at something and pull up contextual details such as information about a restaurant, as well as take actions like filling out a calendar event.
With improved microphones, the iPhone 16 Pro supports Spatial Audio capture during video recording, for a more immersive experience when using AirPods or Apple Vision Pro. A new Audio Mix feature uses machine learning to identify and separate background audio and speech. For example, "In-Frame Mix" isolates the voice of the person on camera. "Cinematic Mix" handles audio like a movie, with on-screen audio in front and environmental noises in the surroundings. There are also updates coming to the Voice Memos, allowing you to layer a track on top of existing recordings.
Battery life is improved with up to 33 hours on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, enhanced by a new mechanical architecture and advanced power management, with 20% better sustained performance due to improved heat dissipation.
The iPhone 16 Pro starts at $999 for 128GB and $1,199 for iPhone 16 Pro Max for 256GB. They are available for pre-order on Friday and launch on September 20.

Apple just announced new products and the stock is down.
DOWN.
The new camera actions, alone (and across the entire line), make for a pretty compelling upgrade. For iPhone customers, this feels like one of the more significant upgrades in a while. For Pro users, there is a LOT to be excited about.
Was anyone else quietly interested to see if that rumored iPhone Thin (or whatever it was called) would come to fruition this cycle?
Anyway, let the preorder shenanigans begin! Good luck, all.

Considering your average person uses Snapchat or other crummy quality social media native recording, a lot of the “new” camera stuff will go untapped.
