Apple’s next marvel, the iPhone 16, is already making waves just a few short minutes after its release. New reports suggest Apple will rename its top-tier model “Ultra” instead of the usual “Pro Max.”
Name changes aren’t just for show. According to Apple Product Blog Reporter Majin Bu, the iPhone 16 Ultra will introduce three new compact camera modules. In addition, these modules are said to be compatible with the Vision Pro headset, potentially bringing augmented reality experiences to a whole new level.
Do you have a problem with battery life? Don’t worry. The iPhone 16 will probably offer a 120 Hz refresh rate and a nifty feature to conserve battery life by switching into “millimeter wave mode”. It seems Apple is planning ahead to keep us unplugged longer.
The iPhone 16 Pro also features an alleged “View Button.” The View Button is a physical button, not a virtual one like the Glance Bar on the Surface Duo 2. Maybe this is a nod to physical buttons or a tweak to enhance user experience.
Earlier leaks suggest the iPhone 16 series will feature solid-state virtual buttons, bringing both aesthetics and functionality. In the Pro version, there will be a 6.3-inch screen and impressive camera upgrades including a 48MP main camera and a 5X polyprism Telephoto lens. A future iPhone with that feature would be exciting.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE & Galaxy Tab S9 FE+:
Here’s a better look at the new FE tablets from the marketing images. Except for one noticeable difference, the latest development is largely in line with the initial CAD-based renders.
Galaxy Tab S9 FE and S9 FE+ feature metal unibodies. In comparison to the latter, the former appears smaller. Both devices have asymmetrical front bezels. According to marketing renders, the S-Pen will be magnetically attached to the right edge of the tablets. The back panel does not have a vertical strip below the camera sensor.

The upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will arrive in two variants, one manufactured under TSMC’s 4nm process and another manufactured under TSMC’s 3nm process according to leaked conversation documents between Qualcomm and its partners in South Korea.
Qualcomm’s email conversations with its smartphone partners, including Samsung, have been leaked by the South Korean blog gamma0burst. For its chipset CPU structure, Qualcomm stated in the leaked documents that it will use ARM’s latest Cortex X4, Cortex A720, and Cortex A520 CPU cores.
It is interesting to note that Qualcomm (in the emails) shared that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (SM8650) SoC will be available in two variants: one manufactured on TSMC’s 4nm N4P node, and another manufactured on TSMC’s 3nm N3E node.
Qualcomm is expecting to create two different variants of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor for Android flagships in 2024, but if history is any indication, it could be a wild ride for 2024 Android flagships.
In 2022, Qualcomm released the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with identical CPU combinations.
In 2024, it is unclear whether the two TSMC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 variants will be distinguished as non-Plus and Plus versions. Although both variants have the same CPU combo structure with the only difference being the manufacturing process, it will be interesting to see the performance and power efficiency differences since their CPU combo structure is the same as the Snapdragon 8 and 8+ Gen 1 processors of 2022.
Qualcomm will launch the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile processor next month at the Snapdragon Summit 2023 in Hawaii. Stay tuned to our coverage of Qualcomm’s upcoming event to learn more.
On the back, the Galaxy A05s features triple rear cameras with a 50MP main sensor having an aperture of f/1.8 and a dual 2MP depth plus macro sensor with an aperture of f/2.4 and LED flash. There is a 13MP selfie shooter with an aperture of f/2.2.
