iPhone 16 Pro to Feature Faster Charging

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 Pro models are set to support 40W wired charging speeds, significantly faster than the 27W speeds of the iPhone 15 series. This enhancement is expected to reduce charging time considerably, offering a substantial upgrade for users.

Launch Dates Predicted

Tim Cook’s Apple is expected to maintain its traditional release schedule. The iPhone 16 family is likely to be announced on September 10, with pre-orders starting shortly thereafter. This follows the company’s pattern of high-profile September launches.

AI Advancements Delayed

Despite the hardware improvements, Apple’s AI advancements, branded as Apple Intelligence, are delayed until 2025. This delay means that while new iPhone models will launch with hardware improvements, the anticipated AI features will not be available until next year.

Files App Enhancements in iPadOS 18

The Files app in iPadOS 18 has been enhanced to offer more intelligent downloads and offline access, addressing user concerns and improving functionality. Users can now keep entire folders or files downloaded permanently, avoiding automatic cloud storage.

Security Improvements

Cellebrite, a company known for unlocking smartphones for law enforcement, has reported that its current tools cannot crack iPhones running iOS 17.4 and later. This enhances the security of iPhones against unauthorized access.

Record Emmy Nominations for Apple TV+

Apple TV+ has secured a record 72 Emmy nominations, reflecting the platform’s growing success in the streaming industry. The nominations span across various categories, highlighting the diversity and quality of Apple’s original content.
