iPhone 16th: Here are 5 too undercotted improvements

The iPhone 16th is the "new family member" of Apple smartphones according toTim Cook's own words. But the boss of the apple was careful not to say that this device had unpublished features, very useful developments in everyday life, which were not put forward by Apple duringthe presentation of the iPhone 16th.

Satellite connection

The first feature that we put in “honor today is the connection by satellite. Launched with the iPhone 14, this option allows emergency communications in "white areas", these regions of the world where the telephone network does not exist.

Accident detection

Another important feature, which has just arrived onl’iPhone 16e, it is undoubtedly accident detection. Apple uses the phone accelerometer to automatically detect brutal speed changes. The functionality has an algorithm capable of saying when you have had a road accident, and it automatically prevents help without action on your part. A feature that already hassaved many lives.

A waterproof iPhone 16th (or almost)

This certification does not ensure that the iPhone is comfortable in the water, but rather that it can fall into a swimming pool by accident without being screwed up. In addition, urban legend ensuringthat you have to immerse your wet iphone in riceTo save him from a certain death is ... a legend.

A deceptive optical zoom

One of the big news this year onThe iPhone 16th compared to the 3rd generation iPhone SE, of which he is the heir is the arrival of an optical zoom. With its unique sensor at the rear (in 48 Mpx), Apple is capable of making an "X2 optical zoom". An appellation that nevertheless disturbs photo specialists.

Generally the term "optical zoom" is used to speak of a mechanical evolution within the sensor. But here, Apple succeeds in a little sleight of hand. The apple brand will indeed "zoom in" in an image to give an X2 impression. It is not really an optical zoom, as we understand it, but for the general public, the result is the same.

A night mode, for photos 24 hours a day

Large absent from the 3rd generation iPhone SE, the night mode arrives on the iPhone 16th. As its name suggests so well, it allows you to take photos with little light. Launched with the iPhone 11, this feature finally arrives at the “entry -level” models on the Cupertino side.
