Top Apple Analyst Says Don't Expect Much For iPhone 16 This Year, But Tim Cook-Led Company Has A Slew Of Tetraprism Camera Upgrades In Pipeline
Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AAPL) upcoming iPhone 16 series has analysts excited about an AI-driven upgrade "supercycle," but fans who have been waiting for important camera improvements will have to temper their hopes.
蘋果公司（NASDAQ: AAPL）即將推出的iPhone 16系列，使分析師們對一個基於人工智能的升級“超級週期”充滿期待，但一直等待着重要相機改進的粉絲們則必須剋制自己的期望。
What Happened: Noted Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that one of the biggest highlights of the iPhone 15 Pro Max – the tetraprism camera – will remain the same even on the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.
發生了什麼：著名的蘋果分析師郭明錘表示，iPhone 15 Pro Max最大的亮點之一——四棱鏡相機——即使在即將推出的iPhone 16 Pro和iPhone 16 Pro Max上也將保持不變。
While the iPhone 15 Pro missed out on a periscope telephoto camera – the one that Apple calls tetraprism – its successor, the iPhone 16 Pro, will be equipped with one.
雖然iPhone 15 Pro錯過了望遠鏡長焦相機（蘋果稱之爲四棱鏡），但它的接班人iPhone 16 Pro將配備一個望遠鏡長焦相機。
However, hardware-wise, there won't be any changes, Kuo noted.
但是據郭明錘指出，硬體方面不會有任何變化。

The major changes will start showing up with the iPhone 17 Pro Max, scheduled to launch in 2025. It's not clear yet if this hardware upgrade will be available on the iPhone 17 Pro variant as well, or if Tim Cook-led company will reserve it for the top-spec Max variant.
iPhone 17 Pro Max將於2025年推出，將開始出現重大變化。目前還不清楚這種硬體升級是否也會在iPhone 17 Pro版上推出，或者是由蒂姆·庫克（Tim Cook）領導的公司將其保留給最頂配的Max版。
"The upgraded tetraprism camera requires all-new designed prisms. The prism must have a shorter form factor to reduce the camera's height," Kuo said.
“升級後的四棱鏡相機需要全新設計的棱鏡。棱鏡必須具有較短的形狀以減小相機的高度，”郭明錘說。
The second major revision to the tetraprism technology is expected in 2027, when iPhone 19 is expected to launch. Although it is slightly further ahead in the future, Kuo notes that this will offer better optical zoom.
預計將在2027年推出iPhone 19時，進行四棱鏡技術的第二次重大修訂。雖然它在未來稍微更遙遠一些，郭指出這將提供更好的光學變焦。
Why It Matters: The iPhone 16 series is anticipated to bring several enhancements. In April 2024, a leak confirmed rumors about the screen sizes for the iPhone 16 lineup.
爲什麼它很重要：iPhone 16系列預計將帶來幾項增強功能。2024年4月，一個泄漏證實了iPhone 16系列的屏幕尺寸謠言。
The Pro Max model is expected to have a larger 6.9-inch screen. In June, another leak suggested that the iPhone 16 Pro will feature the world's thinnest bezels.
Pro Max型號預計將擁有一個較大的6.9英寸屏幕。在6月份，另一個泄漏暗示iPhone 16 Pro將擁有世界上最薄的邊框。
Furthermore, according to Kuo, the iPhone 16 series will adopt stainless steel cases, improving battery life by 5-10% and meeting EU regulations.
此外，據郭明錘透露，iPhone 16系列將採用不鏽鋼外殼，提高電池壽命5-10%，符合歐盟規定。
