iPhone 16 & 16 Pro - 20 Things Apple DIDN'T Tell You!

20 Things Apple kept SECRET Apple's brand new iPhone 16 series look absolutely amazing at least in the way that Apple portrayed them during their event because they actually kept a few Secrets away from you including both good and bad things probably because they're a little bit deceptive in some way so in this video I'm going to go through 20 things that Apple chose not to mention conveniently about the new iPhone 16s as well as the Apple watches and airpods so let's jump into number Secret #1 one don't worry this one is actually very positive apparently Apple's new Max safe charging has been updated to 25 wats on all of the iPhone 16 models and yes Apple didn't mention this during the event but even better you can charge your iPhone from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes with wireless charging and it's actually faster than wired which is just insane and super impressive so you no longer have to stick with wire charging if you want the fastest speeds the only downside is that right now the only way to get it is with the new Max safe charging puck but they do finally have a longer 2 m cable option now for number Secret #2 two when Apple revealed the 16 cord neural engine in the a18 chip for the iPhone 16 they made it seem like a brand new neurl engine but guess what you actually get the same one on the a18 pro chip for the high-end iPhone 16 Pro Models which is essentially identic cool to the same 16 core neural engine in the previous iPhone 15 Pros a17 Pro chip since both of them have 35 tops of performance so you really have no difference for number three this one's Secret #3 actually a pretty good one the iPhone 16 models now have added an anti-reflective lens coding and yes Apple didn't even mention this during the event and this should hopefully finally get rid of the really weird and terrible reflection effects that you get with lights when recording videos at night which is super annoying so I can't wait to test this Secret #4 out now for number four Apple not only kept the prices of the new iPhone 16 series models the same like $999 on the iPhone 16 Pro which hasn't changed since the iPhone 10 in 2017 which is kind of insane considering inflation but they actually dropped the price of the new iPhone 16 Pro in some countries like Australia Malaysia and probably more so this is really cool news for number five the new Secret #5 iPhone 16 Pro supports a brand new image format called jpeg XL which according to the website listing is better than heic and other formats in basically every single way and I can't believe that Apple didn't mention this during the event because this will save up to 30% of your storage space without even losing any quality which is insane now Secret #6 moving on to number six Apple didn't mention this but all of the new iPhone 16 models including the regular 16 have 8 GB of RAM and it's actually the same RAM and this is the first time in a few years that both the high-end and regular models share the same Ram so you get all the benefits of the multitasking and the Apple intelligence AI performance across the board you don't have to pick and choose even the a18 and A8 Pro chips CPU is exactly the same neural engines the same so no difference in AI performance and Secret #7 multitasking and now for number seven Apple added a new selfie video mode to the iPhone 16 Pro Models specifically when you're taking a selfie photo and you choose to press and hold to do a quick take video well the resolution is up to 4K at 60 FPS in Dolby vision for the first time so if you like to take videos that way the Improvement in quality is going to be insane compared to how it was before now for number Secret #8 eight we do have better batteries across the board for all of the new iPhone 16 models but there are actually some pretty insane differences first of all going from the 15 Pro Max to the 16 Pro Max Max you get 14% better battery life and going from the 15 Pro to 16 Pro 177% better while on the regular 16 it's only about 10% which is still pretty decent but here's a huge shocker that nobody knows and apple didn't mention it's terrible for the new 16 plus it's only 3.8% better than the 15 plus and the 14 plus and believe it or not the 16 plus actually has the same amount of audio playback as the 14 plus so if you want to get the best boost in battery life you should probably go for the 16 Pro Max now for number nine Apple didn't Secret #9 mention this because it's actually pretty embarrassing but they discontinued their failed fine woven cases which nobody liked they were terrible compared to genuine leather which other case makers make and they definitely have you covered like Nomad which makes my favorite genuine leather cases of all time including the magnetic leather back which I love since it doesn't make it thicker on the sides it gives you some grip and protection I've daily driven this for like 6 months absolutely love it so it's a lot better Secret #10 than fine woven now moving on to number 10 Apple didn't really mention this verbally but all of the new iPhone 16 models come with Wi-Fi 7 which is a big deal because we thought it was only coming on the pro Pro Models not the regulars so that's awesome because Wi-Fi 7 is the best update for Wi-Fi in many many years since it can take all three Wi-Fi bands and combine them into One automatically so as you're moving away from your router and getting closer it switches seamlessly without you having to do it by yourself such a big deal but Secret #11 on the downside for number 11 you'd probably expect the Bluetooth to be upgraded as well but nope Apple didn't mention this because they kept it the same at Bluetooth 5.3 the same as we had on the iPhone 15 Pro and actually on the iPhone 14 pro so literally no upgrade to Bluetooth in 2 years now Apple also Secret #12 didn't mention a few things about the Apple Watch updates which let's get into number 12 Apple really made it seem like they released a new Apple watch Ultra 3 model with all the features they talked about but they actually didn't it's still the ultra 2 but simply with a new finish that's all nothing else has changed and this is really unfortunate because it misses out on some of the great new features that the series 10 gets like the better ltp3 OLED display which now has a wideangle OLED Tech that's about 40% brighter when viewed at an angle well this doesn't get it and Secret #13 for number 13 the brand new series 10 now has a depth gauge up to 6 M and a water temperature sensor which means it'll support the new oceanic Plus app however it actually doesn't support nearly as much depth as the current Ultra which goes down to 40 M for diving so don't assume that you can get the series 10 and go diving because you could mess up your watch and now for number 14 Apple was actually really Secret #14 sneaky with this because when they released the new Apple watch series 10 they gave us the new sleep apnea feature which is really really exciting but what they didn't me mention on stage is that it's actually coming to the previous series 9 and the ultra 2 models which means you don't even have to upgrade to the series 10 so some people may have already upgraded for that but you actually don't have to so I thought that Apple was going to lock that behind some sort of a new chip update like the S10 but they chose not to which is pretty Secret #15 cool and for number 15 they also mentioned that you can finally play off audio through the built-in speakers which is really really cool but guess what they didn't mention that same feature is also coming to the ultra 2 so you don't even have to upgrade to the series 10 this by itself is a huge feature for some people and now with Secret #16 that said Apple also has some sneaky secrets for the airpods as well for example number 16 is that the airpods 4 no longer come with a cable in the Box this is very disappointing since you always used to get cables in all airpods including the old and cheap airpods 2 and the airpods Pro 2 still get them just not with the new airpods 4 which is Secret #17 disappointing for number 17 believe it or not the brand new airpods 4 actually have 1 hour less battery life than the previous airpods 3 including the new model that doesn't have active noise cancellation it still has 1 hour less which Apple definitely didn't reveal on stage and 5 minutes of charging now only provides 45 minutes of talk time instead of 1 hour with the airpods 3 but on the Secret #18 upside number 18 is that the airpods 4 have better water and dust resistance with IP 54 instead of ipx4 which means it has certified dust resistance built in which is very nice and once again Secret #19 another positive Improvement that Apple didn't mention the airpods 4 actually have a new vent system for pressure Equalization which is something they borrowed from the airpods Pro 2 and that's one of my favorite things because you can wear them forever and not feel like your ears are plugged with a bunch of pressure I'm really surprised that that's coming to the regular airpods 4 models and apple chose not to mention it Secret #20 and finally for number 20 this is by far the worst yes we got the brand new airpods Max update with new colors and USBC but guess what they still pack the super old H1 chip for the same $549 price even the brand new cheapest airpods 4 for $129 come with the H2 chip so it's ridiculous that Apple didn't take the time to switch out the chip on the super expensive airpods Max updates so it's missing out on a bunch of the new H2 specific features so there you guys go those were 20 things that Apple didn't mention during their event including the new iPhone 16 series which I'm super excited
