It&rsquo;s that exciting time of year again&mdash;Apple has unveiled the new iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, and they come with significant upgrades. While it's common for Apple to raise prices with major updates, this time the new iPhones are actually priced slightly lower than their predecessors.
The best news for Malaysians is that with the new Apple Store at TRX now open, you can get your hands on the latest iPhone models simultaneously with Singapore.

What&rsquo;s New For The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max?
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/7108af7c8b5ec4ea813edd4c8aa52ed5748156efa66e15faa334fc760196a991" />
At first glance, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max may look familiar, featuring the same flat-edge design, titanium frame, matte glass back, and signature triple-camera setup on a raised bump. However, Apple has subtly enhanced the Pro models with slightly larger displays&mdash;6.3 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
The 6.3-inch model offers a resolution of 2622&times;1206 pixels, while the larger Pro Max boasts 2868&times;1320 pixels. Both still utilize Super Retina XDR OLED screens with a pixel density of 460 ppi, a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits (1,000 nits typical). They also maintain the 120Hz ProMotion display technology and the Dynamic Island at the top, which houses the front camera and sensors.

Apple claims that the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max feature the thinnest bezels yet, though the overall dimensions have slightly increased due to the larger screens. Both models are a few millimetres taller and wider but maintain the same thickness of 8.25mm. The iPhone 16 Pro has gained 12g in weight, while the Pro Max is 6g heavier compared to their predecessors.

Equipped with Apple's cutting-edge A18 Pro chip, both the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature a 6-core CPU (2 Performance Cores and 4 Efficiency Cores), a 6-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine for superior performance. During the event, Apple highlighted the advanced AI capabilities that leverage the power of Apple Silicon. This makes the iPhone 16 Pro series the second generation of iPhone Pro models to incorporate these AI features, following their introduction in the A17 Pro-powered iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

In terms of camera improvements, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max feature several significant upgrades. The main camera remains a 48MP f/1.78 lens, but the ultra-wide camera has been enhanced from a 12MP f/2.2 to a 48MP f/2.2 sensor. Additionally, the telephoto camera has been upgraded to a 12MP f/2.8 lens with 5x optical zoom, now standard across both models, including the smaller iPhone 16 Pro (compared to the 3x optical zoom on the iPhone 15 Pro).
Apple has improved the 48MP Fusion camera, making it faster with a quad-pixel sensor that processes data twice as quickly and eliminates shutter lag when capturing 48MP ProRAW or HEIF photos. Both models now support 48MP macro photography and feature an anti-reflective lens coating. The front-facing camera remains a 12MP f/1.9 lens, capable of recording 4K video at up to 60fps.

A new addition is the Camera Control button, which functions as both a shutter and a secondary action button. This allows users to lock focus, take shots, and adjust modes and settings with a simple slide. The Camera Control button also integrates with third-party apps for functionalities like white balance adjustments and focus settings, such as with the Kino app, and supports visual intelligence for AI-assisted search.
Another notable upgrade is the ability to record slow-motion video in 4K at 120fps. Apple demonstrated that users can shoot video and then adjust the playback speed post-capture. ProRes video recording in 4K at 120fps is also supported via external recording through the USB-C 3 port.

The new flagship models also bring enhanced audio capabilities, featuring Spatial Audio and stereo recording through a high-quality four-microphone array with wind noise reduction.
For connectivity, the iPhone 16 Pro series supports 5G (sub-6GHz in Malaysia), Bluetooth 5.3, and WiFi 7 with 2&times;2 MIMO. Additionally, they are compatible with Apple's latest MagSafe charger, which offers faster wireless charging up to 25W, though a 30W power adapter is required for this speed.
Battery life has also seen improvements. The iPhone 16 Pro boasts up to 23 hours of video playback, the same as its predecessor, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max extends battery life to 33 hours, up from 29 hours on the previous model. Both models can charge up to 50% in 30 minutes for the Pro and 35 minutes for the Pro Max when using a 20W adapter.
How Much Will The New iPhone 16 Pro And iPhone 16 Pro Max Be In Malaysia?

The new iPhone 16 Pro series comes in four stylish colours: black titanium, natural titanium, white titanium, and desert titanium. As for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, it will come in white, black, teal pink and ultramarine.
Pre-orders for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro start this Friday, 13th September 2024, with the devices officially available from 20th September 2024. If you&rsquo;re looking to purchase from the Apple Store TRX, you can opt for the pickup option when pre-ordering online to bypass the usual queues.
Thinking about upgrading to a new iPhone? If you&rsquo;re currently using an iPhone 13 or 14, you might want to hold off for now, as these models still offer solid performance and camera quality. The improvements in the iPhone 16 might not feel as significant if you're coming from a newer model.
However, if you&rsquo;re considering passing down your current iPhone to a family member, the iPhone 16 could be a great choice for you. We won&rsquo;t get into the &ldquo;Android vs. Apple&rdquo; debate&mdash;both platforms excel in their own ways, especially in their flagship models.
So, are you excited about the new iPhone and would you be willing to wait in line at the Apple Store TRX just to get your hands on it? Let us know in the comments!
