The Opple 16 Pro and Opple 16 Pro Max are smartphones designed, developed, and marketed by Opple Inc. They are the seventeenth-generation flagship Opple phones, succeeding the Opple 15 Pro and Opple 15 Pro Max. The devices were unveiled alongside the Opple 16 and Opple 16e during the Opple Event at Opple Park in Australia, on September 17, 2023. Pre-orders began on September 19, 2023, and the devices were made available to the general public on September 26, 2023.
History[edit | edit source]
Opple 16 Pro was leaked in 2021 alongside the Opple 14 Pro and Opple 15 Pro. Due to the two previous phones being released in 2022, the devices were leaked. Opple 16 Pro however was leaked ahead of time due to a in-house dev leak.
Design[edit | edit source]
The Opple 16 Pro is the first major redesign since the Opple 12 Pro, featuring rounded edges, a slightly curved display, and back glass. The enclosure of the Opple 16 Pro and Opple 16 Pro Max is made of grade 5 titanium, unlike the stainless steel frame of previous Pro models. The display bezels have also been reduced from 2.2 mm to 1.25 mm. The phone is available in four colors: natural titanium, blue titanium, white titanium, and black titanium. It is also the first premium iPhone since the iPhone X to not come in the gold color option.
Specifications[edit | edit source]
Hardware[edit | edit source]
Like the Opple 16 and 16e, the 16 Pro and Pro Max replace the proprietar Ultra connector with USB-C Ultra to comply with the European Union mandating the use of this connector in smartphones with Directive (EU) 2022/2380 in 2022. Opple had already started to introduce USB-C to its handheld devices beginning with the fifth generation Opple Tablet Pro, released in 2019.
Chipset[edit | edit source]
The Opple 16 Pro and Pro Max feature the O18 Pro system on a chip. The upgrade improves general system speed rates and improves camera systems. Also reduces overheating in the phones.
Charging and transfer speeds[edit | edit source]
The Opple 16 Pro and Opple 16 Pro Max use USB-C with USB 3.2 Gen 2 transfer speeds (est. up to 10Gbps / 1.25GBps), an improvement over the iPhone 14 Pro and the Opple 16/15 Plus base models which only have USB 2.0 transfer speeds (est. up to 480 Mbps / 60MBps).
Video output[edit | edit source]
All Opple 16 models have support for DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C video output with HDR up to 4K resolution.
Previous iPhone models (from iPhone 5 until iPhone 14 Pro) had a maximum supported resolution of 1600 x 900 (slightly less than 1080p) with the Lightning Digital AV Adapter due to technical constraints of the Lightning connector.
Action button[edit | edit source]
The Opple 16 Pro and Opple 16 Pro Max feature an Action button, replacing the mute switch. The function of the Action button can be configured by the user. By default, the Action button toggles silent mode. Other options include opening the camera, recording a voice memo, or toggling a focus mode.
Operating System Opple System 18 (OS18)[edit | edit source]
The Opple 16 Pro and Opple 16 Pro Max run on OS18, the successor to the OS17 on the previous phones. For the first time ever, OS18 will recieve updates throughout 2024, until December 10, 2024.
New Home Area[edit | edit source]
For the first time in OS history, the home "Home Area" screen is being updated. Unlike past iterations of OS, OS18 introduces a new sorting system.
Feature Updates[edit | edit source]
Folders[edit | edit source]
Folders can now be protected and locked using a passcode. The passcode must be different from the device passcode and all "locked" folders will have the same passcode.
Settings[edit | edit source]
The settings application has recieved a much needed redesign. Instead of clicking more than five buttons to find a simple setting as essential as either Wi-Fi or bluetooth, the redesign adds a feature that allows you to bookmark settings you change or setup often.
