iPhone 17 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro: 7 big upgrades expected
iPhone 17 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro: 7 big upgrades expected By Ankita Garg Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 lineup around September 2025. Ahead of the launch, several leaks have surfaced, hinting at notable upgrades over the current iPhone 16 Pro models. Here are the details, which are based on leaks as well as rumours. Intro Photo generated using AI The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to pack the new A19 Pro chip, an upgrade over the A18 Pro seen in its predecessor. Chipset Photo : Apple Hub The iPhone 17 Pro is rumoured to feature a new vapor chamber cooling system for better heat management during heavy use. New cooling system? Interestingly, Apple may switch back to an aluminum frame for the iPhone 17 Pro, moving away from the premium Grade 5 titanium used in the 16 Pro. While this could help with weight reduction, it may be seen as a step down in terms of durability and finish. Design The iPhone 17 Pro is likely to get a major redesign at the back, with leaks hinting at a large rectangular camera module that spans almost edge-to-edge, a change from the square layout seen on the iPhone 16 Pro. A fresh look? Photo : Front Page Tech The iPhone 17 Pro could feature a 48MP telephoto sensor, replacing the 12MP periscope zoom camera used in the iPhone 16 Pro. However, optical zoom is said to be limited to 3.5x this time, slightly lower than the 5x zoom capability of the 16 Pro. Camera Photo : @Asherdipps Apple is expected to bump up the RAM to 12GB on the iPhone 17 Pro, up from 8GB on the iPhone 16 Pro. This should improve multitasking and boost performance during heavy tasks like gaming or video editing. Also Read: iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro review: Kings in waiting RAM

New Big Man movie shows just how good your iPhone really is, watch it free today
The latest movie to be shot on iPhone launches tonight and proves what you can do with the smart device in your pocket. It might look like a big-budget blockbuster movie, but the latest short film arriving on YouTube has been filmed entirely on an iPhone. Big Man, which stars R&B legend Stormzy, tells the fictional story of Tenzman, a world-weary musician, and the two bright, mischievous kids who come into his life by chance. Directed by Academy Award-winner Aneil Karia, the mini flick has used the iPhone 16 Pro's triple-lens snapper to capture the action rather than a high-end production rig. "I've never shot an entire piece of narrative filmmaking on an iPhone before, and it's been a really invigorating process," Karia explained. "It's much smaller than the traditional cameras used for television, film, or music videos, and the lightness and flexibility that comes with that is boundless in a sense. I like trying to strive for an intimacy with characters, and sometimes a big camera is not particularly conducive for that. So it's been huge, being in smaller spaces, being lower key for the actors.' Big Man will go live at 8 pm tonight on YouTube, but you can watch the trailer here before its official release. Considering it's been filmed on a phone, it looks good enough for the cinema, and that might have something to do with the upgrades found on the latest models from Apple. The iPhone 16 Pro now features the ability to capture cinematic slow-motion scenes with 4K 120 fps. This is then able to add a more dynamic quality to the shot. There's also the clever Cinematic mode, which is able to add a blurred background and foreground effect to what's being filmed, plus the 16 Pro now gets improved low-light capabilities. Speaking about the process of movie making on a phone, Director of Photography, Stuart Bentley, said: 'Traditionally, filmmaking was the reserve of a small section of people and you couldn't access it. "It felt completely impenetrable to me as a young kid. And I think now people have this amazing camera in their pocket, and it's like everybody can do it. If you're hungry and passionate about cinema, there's no reason you can't make an amazing film. "Do it all on an iPhone, it's all there for you. "I guess ultimately what's been really interesting is it's a super versatile camera with all these different kind of tools. You can use Cinematic mode so you get that shallow depth of field, and it automatically pulls focus to follow the action. You can shoot 120 frames per second at 4K, which is obviously insane. It's got an incredible dynamic range. It can handle dark, low-light environments in a really amazing way, and shooting with Apple LOG gives you even more options in post. "We're pushing the camera to the very limits of what it's capable of, and we've found it to be really resilient. This isn't the first time things have been shot on an iPhone. Back in 2023, Apple revealed that its entire 30-minute MacBook keynote had been shot entirely on an iPhone 15 Pro. If you want to watch the Big Man movie, it will be available on Apple's YouTube page from 8pm tonight, June 18th.

iPhone 17 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro: 5 big upgrades expected
iPhone 17 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro: 5 big upgrades expected By Ankita Garg The iPhone 17 series is likely to launch in September 2025, which is 3 months away from now. It is said to get several upgrades in comparison to the iPhone 16 Pro. Here are the details based on leaks. Intro Photo generated using AI The iPhone 17 Pro is tipped to run on the next-generation A19 Pro chipset, which would be an upgrade over the A18 Pro chip seen on the previous model. Chipset Photo : Apple Hub A new vapor chamber cooling system is said to be introduced with the iPhone 17 Pro. This would help the phone manage heat more effectively during intensive tasks or prolonged use. New cooling system? Interestingly, Apple may switch back to an aluminum frame for the iPhone 17 Pro, moving away from the premium Grade 5 titanium used in the 16 Pro. While this could help with weight reduction, it may be seen as a step down in terms of durability and finish. Design The rear camera design is also expected to see a drastic change. While the iPhone 16 Pro sticks with a square-shaped camera island, the 17 Pro might go for a large rectangular module that stretches nearly edge-to-edge like the Pixel 9 Pro. A fresh look?

iPhone 16 Pro Long-Term: One Feature Stands Above All Others
It's funny how time sorts everything out. When the iPhone 16 Pro launched in September, commercials with Snoop Dogg touted it as the first iPhone built for Apple Intelligence. But unknown to Snoop, the phone arrived with zero Apple Intelligence. The first Apple Intelligence features started to roll out over the course of a few months. Fast forward six months, and you can now remove a person from the background of a photo, get summaries of messages and edit text you've written to sound more professional -- or in the words of the Apple Intelligence rewrite I just requested: "Enhance the professional tone of your written text by employing appropriate language and editing techniques." While not every feature that Apple previewed at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2024 is here, the Apple Intelligence features out now are clever at best. But even without factoring Apple Intelligence into the equation, the iPhone 16 Pro is excellent. For months, I've traveled with it, taken photos and videos with it, had video meetings on it, tapped back like no one's watching, and played lots of Mario Kart. And while many of the phone's features caught my attention, there's one in particular that stood out among the rest: battery life. Now Playing: All Things Mobile: Our iPhone 16 Pro 7-Month Check-In 06:14 iPhone 16 Pro battery life The iPhone 16 Pro's battery life continues to amaze me. Celso Bulgatti/CNET The iPhone 16 series generally has excellent battery life, especially the iPhone 16 Plus. While the model I'm using, the iPhone 16 Pro, has a smaller battery than the 16 Plus, it still gets through a full day on a single charge. Sometimes I'm even able to make it through half of a second day. When traveling for tech events where I'm filming videos with the 16 Pro and uploading them to a shared drive over 5G, it lasts about three-quarters of a day after a full recharge. Overall, I'm impressed with the battery life on the iPhone 16 Pro. I'm averaging 5 hours and 54 minutes of screen-on time. And my iPhone 16 Pro's battery health is "normal," with my max capacity at 100% and only 179 cycle counts after seven months, which is still pretty low. In CNET's 45-minute endurance test, the 16 Pro outperformed the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus, the OnePlus 13 and the Pixel 9 Pro. It was bested by its iPhone 16 siblings, most of which had less battery loss (including the iPhone 16E). In our 3-hour video streaming battery test, the 16 Pro beat the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus and the OnePlus 13. The only phones to beat the 16 Pro were the Oppo Find N5 foldable phone and the iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro Max. In terms of charging, I use a MagSafe fast charger 90% of the time and hardly ever use a wired charger. That might also be why I still have pretty good battery health since charging at higher speeds with a cable can deteriorate the battery's lifespan over time. iPhone 16 Pro durability Both photos were taken after seven months of use. The iPhone 15 Pro Max had a rough life being dropped a handful of times and you really see the scratches and scuffs on its screen. The iPhone 16 Pro has lived a slightly less rough life and still has been dropped but has fewer scratches thanks to its new Ceramic Shield. Celso Bulgatti/CNET Something that didn't get a lot of news when the iPhone 16 Pro came out is that the Ceramic Shield that makes up the screen got updated. Ceramic Shield, which debuted on the iPhone 12 series, isn't pure glass in that its composed of nano ceramic crystals embedded in a glass matrix. When I tested the iPhone 15 Pro Max with the previous version of Ceramic Shield, I was shocked by how many small scratches and nicks had accumulated over seven months. Now, granted, I didn't have a case or screen protector on it, but I don't for the 16 Pro either. Over the same amount of time, the iPhone 16 Pro and its newer Ceramic Shield came out nearly unscathed with just four minor scratches on it -- two of which are hard to see. This is such a major improvement. iPhone 16 Pro Camera Control I'm half pressing the iPhone 16 Pro's Camera Control button to lock the auto focus and auto exposure before I take the photo. Celso Bulgatti/CNET Camera Control, a new button on the right side of iPhone 16 series phones (minus the iPhone 16E), received a lot of hoopla from Apple when it first launched. But I've found it weird to get used to -- sometimes I trigger it accidentally, and for a stretch of time, I ended up turning it off. But after seven months of experimenting, I've ended up at a nice place with it. I now double-click the Camera Control to open the Camera app. I don't even have to think about it. As I'm pulling my phone out of my pocket, I can double-click the Camera Control button so it's open and ready for me to take a photo by the time I have my phone at eye level. It reminds me of using the double-twist Moto Action to do the same thing on Motorola phones. And by setting the Camera Control to activate with a double-click, I've done away with the accidental presses I experienced early on. I also use the Camera Control's half-press setting to lock autofocus and auto exposure, especially if I'm taking a photo of a person or pet under tricky lighting. I like being able to lock my exposure, making sure people's skin tones are protected and knowing that my subject will be in focus. As for the other ways of controlling the camera -- zooming, changing exposure compensation, choosing photographic styles and the rest -- I find that I'm happy sticking with just the focus and exposure lock. I did try using the Camera Control button for Visual Intelligence. While it can be fun to point my camera at something and search for it on Google or prompt ChatGPT, it feels more like a novelty than something I need at the ready at any moment. (Ziff Davis, CNET's parent company, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, which owns ChatGPT, in April, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.) iPhone 16 Pro and Apple Intelligence Apple Intelligence lets you create a Memory Movie by entering a prompt. Numi Prasarn/CNET These are the early days of generative AI and LLMs on our phones. While Apple isn't off to an early lead, as many stockholders would like, remember that this is a marathon. While parts of Siri aren't quite fully "Apple Intelligent" yet, a handful of other tools and features are and Apple Intelligence has arrived. The Cleanup tool in the Photos app is one of Apple's Intelligence features that I use regularly. I can remove an object or person from a photo, and it works pretty well. I also absolutely enjoy generating emoji from prompts for message replies and Tapbacks. I made a really cool Día de Muertos emoji that I can now pull up any time. Even after seven months, I don't think that you should buy this iPhone specifically for Apple Intelligence. But I look forward to Apple adding some more advanced features that truly help improve my life daily. iPhone 16 Pro and iOS 18 Here is the interface for customizing the Control Center. Jeff Carlson/CNET The iPhone 16 Pro and iOS 18 are like peanut butter and jelly. I haven't encountered any major bugs. What stands out to me are all the ways I can customize my iPhone. Whether it's changing up the way my home screen looks to work better with a wallpaper or rearranging the layout for the Control Panel, I am blown away by how much curation control Apple has given its customers after nearly two decades of not allowing us to change such things. I have to give my CNET colleague Zach McAuliffe a shout-out for acknowledging in his iOS 18 seven-month review how annoyingly easy it is to end up on the second page of Control Center instead of the first. Hopefully, Apple can fine tune the pull-down from the top right corner gesture that brings up the Control Center in a future update. iPhone 16 Pro cameras I'm taking a macro photo of a fuzzy spider toy. Marc Ganley/CNET From day one, the cameras have been outstanding. I like recording 4K 120 frames per second slow-mo videos. It's actually really great for filming product footage for CNET reviews and videos. Usually, we use a dedicated camera, but sometimes, I have to record a quick pick-up shot with my iPhone. I record them at 4K 120fps to help minimize any shakes and smooth out any camera movements. They can also be sped up or slowed down by the editor. In general, photos look fantastic. Take a look at some of my faves below. iPhone 16 Pro ultrawide camera. Patrick Holland/CNET iPhone 16 Pro main camera at 2x. Patrick Holland/CNET iPhone 16 Pro 5x telephoto camera. Patrick Holland/CNET iPhone 16 Pro ultrawide. Patrick Holland/CNET iPhone 16 Pro main camera. Patrick Holland/CNET iPhone 16 Pro ultrawide. Celso Bulgatti/CNET Another feature I use occasionally is Audio Mix, which comes in handy when I record videos for CNET's social team. If I'm not miked up, I use Audio Mix to reduce the background noise and make my voice sound more present before I share it with our social producers. Watch this: iPhone 16 Pro 4K 120fps Slow Motion Video Test 01:10 Buy the iPhone 16 Pro or wait for the iPhone 17 Pro? Apple/Viva Tung/CNET We are now four months away from the expected launch of the iPhone 17 series, which raises the question: Should you buy the iPhone 16 Pro now or wait for the iPhone 17? And what about tariffs? If you're ready for an upgrade, the iPhone 16 Pro is best for people coming from an iPhone 13 Pro and older. Even if you have the 13 Pro and the battery is still good, I'd recommend considering holding onto it and waiting until the iPhone 17 is announced. Apple has not told us what to expect with iPhone pricing in terms of tariffs. On an earnings call last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook said, "Assuming the current global tariff rates, policies and applications do not change for the balance of the quarter, and no new tariffs are added, we estimate the impact to add $900 million to our costs." There are rumors that Apple is shifting production from China to India for all US iPhone models. It seems as if Apple is doing everything it can to not change the experience of buying an iPhone for its customers. Four months is a long time to wait for the iPhone 17 Pro. I can't imagine the 17 Pro is going to be radically different enough to warrant waiting almost a third of a year for it. I say if you need a new iPhone now and want a pro model, you won't be disappointed if you buy the iPhone 16 Pro.
