The 16E iPhone premieres the modem C1. It is the principle of Apple’s goodbye to Qualcomm

by

For years, Apple has depended on Qualcomm for 5g modems of its iPhones. A tense relationship that Apple has always wanted to break, especially since in 2019 bought the intel mode for 1,000 million dollars. Why is it important. With the launch of the C1 as part of the iPhone 16EApple takes a key step in its hardware vertical control strategy. This your own modem will allow you to gradually dispense with Qualcomm. And that translates into two things: Savings in licenses. Better integration with your chips. In detail. The iPhone 16E is the first device to incorporate the C1, a modem that Apple is “the most energy efficient ever used on an iPhone.” The choice of this input model for the C1 debut does not seem accidental: if there were performance problems, the impact would be less than in the pro models. In addition … Compatible with low frequency 5G bands. No support for 5G mmwave (Milimetric band). Optimized for energy efficiency and battery life. Integrated with the processor A18 Bionic. Between the lines. Apple has been cautious with the launch. The C1 does not debut throughout the iPhone 16 range, but only in the most economical model. The iPhone 16 and 16 PRO maintain the Qualcomm modems with which they arrived. It is an interesting movement: Intel failed in his attempt to compete with Qualcomm in Modems for smartphones. And now Apple, with your experience in your own chips (series A, series M, etc), wants to break the almost monopoly of Qualcomm in high -end models. And now what. 2026 will be the key year. It is when the agreement between Apple and Qualcomm will expireand by then the C1 and the development of their successor must be completely mature if Apple wants to dispense completely of Terceors modems. At the moment we have a few months ahead to see the performance of the modem C1 and what is translated for the end user that change. Of course, the movement can be more than justified only with the implications for Apple itself. In Xataka | I have tried the iPhone 16 and 16 Pro.

iPhone 16E vs iPhone 16. What Apple’s mobile choose according to your tastes and needs

by

After numerous leaksit has already been announced. He iPhone 16E It is a reality and we have already been able to know, through Apple’s announcement, some of the characteristics and specifications of the new “cheap mobile” of those of Cupertino. Therefore, what better than comparing it with the base model of the current generation, the iPhone 16to know What are your differences, and also what are your similarities. IPhone 16E and iPhone 16 specifications table iPhone 16E iPhone 16 Dimensions and weight High: 14.67 cm Width: 7.15 cm Thickness: 0.78 cm Weight: 167 g High: 14.76 Width: 7.16 Thickness: 0.78 cm Weight: 170 grams Screen 6.1 -inch OLED 60 Hz of soda 800 nits brightness (typical) 1,200 nits peak brightness (HDR) 6.1 -inch OLED 60 Hz of soda Resolution of 2,556 x 1.179p 460 pixels per inch HDR True Tone 1,000 nits brightness (typical) 1,600 nits peak brightness (HDR) Maximum 2,000 nits brightness (outdoor) PROCESSOR Apple A18 Apple A18 STORAGE 128 GB / 256 GB / 512 GB 128 GB / 256 GB / 512 GB AUTONOMY Audio reproduction: Up to 90 hours Video reproduction (offline): Up to 26 hours Video reproduction (streaming): Up to 21 hours Audio reproduction: up to 80 hours Video reproduction (offline): Up to 22 hours Video reproduction (streaming): up to 18 hours Rear cameras 48 MP Major: 48 MP Ultra wide angle: 12 MP Front camera 12 MP 12 MP Operating system iOS 18 iOS 18 SOUND Double Stereo Speaker Double Stereo Speaker Connectivity Wifi 6 5g Bluetooth 5.3 USB-C NFC GPS Wifi 7 5g Bluetooth 5.3 USB-C NFC GPS OTHERS IP68 certification Face id Action button Compatible with Apple Intelligence IP68 certification Action button Camera control button Compatible with Apple Intelligence PRICE From 709 euros From 885 euros The differences between the iPhone 16E and the iPhone 16 Two mobiles with two particular designs and … changes in relation to the battery Little or nothing has to do with the iPhone 16E with respect to the iPhone Se 3: neither in hardware, nor in software nor in design. The arrival of the new generation has meant a very large change at the aesthetic level, eliminating the home button of the equation and betting on something closer to what we could see with respect to the iPhone 14; introducing a notch. Instead, Both the size and the screen type is practically the same as the one that comes with the iPhone 16. The rear has also undergone changes to approach, in this case, to what is seen in the current generation with the iPhone 16, although saving the distances. On the 16E iPhone we have a single main camera of 48 MP (with Zoom X2)while the iPhone 16 incorporates an ultra -angular sensor of 12 MP. In this way, choosing Apple’s new mobile phone we would lose the ultra -angle sensor. In addition, we cannot ignore one of the great deficiencies of the iPhone 16E with respect to other Apple models (not only if we compare it with the iPhone 16, but with mobiles from the previous generations). The 16E iPhone is not compatible with MAGSAFE load technologyalthough it does have a wireless load Qi. The camera control button remains exclusively on the iPhone 16 One of the great novelties that Apple introduced with the launch of the iPhone 16 range (also Plus, Pro and Pro Max) is the so -called camera control buttonwhich allows you to adjust different parameters related to photography and video. A useful element if we take advantage of. And in this case Apple has decided that this camera control button It will be an exclusive element of the iPhone 16. Apple has not included it in the 16E iPhone, a rather logical decision taking into account that the new mobile does not stand out precisely for its photographic section. The most differential point: the price In order to choose between one mobile or another, The most decisive will be the price. The great claim of Apple’s line was precisely the price at which they have launched their terminals, and in the case of the iPhone 16E, although it is more expensive than we expected, it is cheaper than the iPhone 16. In this way, if what we are looking for is to pay less for having some of Apple’s new Its launch price is 709 euros. On the other hand, if what we are looking for is a more complete phone, even more expensive, we may be more interested in making the jump to the iPhone 16 that currently has a price of 885 euros. The similarities between the iPhone 16E and the iPhone 16 The arrival of Apple Intelligence It is clear that Brands want to bring artificial intelligence to their mobilesthus allowing us as users to make use of some of their functions. Apple has also embraced artificial intelligence with Apple Intelligenceand although it has not yet arrived completely in Spain, it will do it sooner rather than later. The iPhone 16 were announced with several claims, being Apple Intelligence one of them. Apple has also wanted to address the announcement of the 16E iPhone focusing on the artificial intelligence functions that it will incorporate, so In this sense we will have no differences between both mobiles. And … what about the processor? To use artificial intelligence, it is necessary for a mobile to offer good performance. To do this, Apple made the jump of chip A16 iPhone 15 to the Chip A18 From iPhone 16. This chip offers good performance in virtually any task, allowing Apple Intelligence to use without any problem. Therefore, knowing that the 16E iPhone will also have the functions of Apple Intelligence, it is not surprising that Apple wanted to introduce the same iPhone 16 chip into this generation. In this way, Both mobiles have the same processor, chip A18. The action button is maintained In the last generations we could see how Apple introduced a substantial change in its phones: the … Read more

Apple has been making the bulk of the iPhone in China for years. Now wants to leave … and China prevent it

by

Apple is accelerating its diversification plan for the production of the iPhone outside of China … with India as the main alternative destination. Is A story that comes from afar But now steal the accelerator. As revealed Financial Times In an extensive profile about this movement, Apple is running this movement with extreme caution so as not to antagonize Beijing, who sees with suspicion how he could lose his dominant position in the global supply chain. Why is it important. This manufacturing migration can end up being one of the biggest changes in the world economy in decades. China has been the factory in the world for two decades and Apple’s main industrial partner, but the cook company needs to minimize its risks to an increasingly tense and complex geopolitics. In addition to China, it no longer has such a cheap labor that it had a decade ago: its salaries have grown to the beat of its economy. In Xataka More and more Apple suppliers move from China to Vietnam. The problem is that there are not enough workers In figures: The Indian production of the iPhone already represents 15% of the global total. It is expected to reach 25% in 2027. Only the Chinese province of Henan exports between 50 and 60 million smartphones A year, equivalent to all the annual demand of the iPhone in its largest market, United States. The backdrop. This Apple strategy, known as “China Plus One“, the reasons began to take shape: Commercial tensions with the US during Trump’s first legislature. Logistics problems during pandemia, which They cost Apple 8,000 million in income. Chinese restrictions on the use of Apple devices by its officials. The new tariff threats after the start of Trump’s second legislature. Between the lines. Beijing is actively hindering this exodus hindering the movement of Chinese technicians towards India. It is also restricting the export of critical equipment, blocking the entry of Chinese manufacturers in India and imposing regulatory obstacles to Apple services as Apple Intelligence. India, meanwhile, is taking advantage of the opportunity: Has allocated 6,000 million dollars To encourage smartphones production. Tata, the largest Indian conglomerate, is positioning itself as Apple key partner. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka They compete for attracting investments. The iPhone 16 They are already manufactured in India. For the country it is a great milestone. In summary. Apple needs to balance this transition very delicately. China remains vital for its supply chain, but a company like Apple cannot afford to depend on a single country in an increasingly volatile geopolitical context.

I have passed from the iPhone 16 Pro to Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. I don’t echo (almost) anything of less

by

How well the Android high range works. It is something that I have been thinking for a couple of years but, especially, since the end of 2024. The last phone I have been able to analyze has been the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultraa clear aspiring best android mobile 2025. A mobile that, although not the best in practically anything (except for integration of AI), makes check in everything. And this is usually more important than shining for some specific aspects. Battery, performance, cameras, software. Everything works as it should work. Something that seems basic on a mobile of more than 1,000 euros, but not everyone fulfills. Having analyzed phones such as OPPO FIND X8 PRO or the Magic7 Pro Honorthe feeling is different from the one I had a few years ago. The iPhone is no longer clear, saving an appearance. Let’s talk about power. It is me, the heavy power. I am obsessed with her, and I have my reasons. I dedicate myself to deepen telephones and, as a collateral effect, to be the official recommender of all my friends and acquaintances. There is something that ever has never been an exception: every time I have recommended a little powerful mobile, in less than three years everything has been complaints and regrets. To the question “Why do I want such a powerful mobile if you only use WhatsApp, Mail and some apps”, the answer is “so that in three or four years WhatsApp, the mail and those apps continue to work well.” There will be exceptions, of course, but in general terms mobile phones Poquipotent They are not made to last. A while ago, Apple’s superiority in processors was brutal. It was simply impossible to reach them in Benchmarks, and this helped an iPhone of a few years ago be more powerful than the Android of New Horn that were coming out. That ended a few years ago, and with the Snapdragon 8 Elite and MEDATEK DIMENSITY 9400the competition is more equated than ever. Everyone has an absurd power today, and more than necessary in a few years. In the case of Samsung, it has the Qualcomm and, although it is not the mobile in which it is best optimized, it is simply impossible to say that it works worse (or better) than the iPhone. Simply, they fly. The software, that great barrier. One UI 7, as I counted in my impressions with the systemit is for me the best software that exists in Android. At least, in this Ultra S25 (a separate case is how it works in less powerful models). Six years of updates, the new live activities of iOS inheritance, and a really useful artificial intelligence burden. Historically I have been very Pixel Experience, but Samsung’s Rom provides added value that no other gets. I am a Mac user, Airpods and iPad, I don’t hide. The integration between Android and these devices remains simply terrible, without half inks. Nor (even if you try and say yes) there are real alternatives to Airdrop, nor are new system versions as fast as in iOS. The quality of some apps is lower and, if you care a lot about the quality of the contents when uploading them to social networks, this is not your operating system. Saving this, iOS and Android have been approaching over the years. I still defend that, objectively, iOS is more stable and is better refined than Android. Despite this, the evolution of the Google operating system in recent years, especially if we talk about what manufacturers have done with their personalized roms, has been spectacular. Let’s stop fighting for the camera. One of these two photos is taken with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The other is taken with the iPhone 16 Pro. One is clearly better than the other, but I am not going to tell you which, I will let you decide in comments. The key here is that, although I am clear that there is a phone that makes better photos than the other, the differences between high -end devices have been minimized over the years. Every year, in the great photographic comparison that I prepare in Xataka, I have to spend hours expanding the photographs and analyzing elements such as the reflexes that are generated in the lenses or other points to be able to determine a winner. Without expanding and without fixing in detail I am clear: practically no average user could objectively differentiate which photo is better than another. It would simply be in a position to choose which one likes the most. And this is excellent news. Buying a high Android range is no longer a bad idea. There was a time when buying a high -end mobile was to spend more than 1,000 euros on a phone that would be updated for two years and with a power about two years behind the iPhone. This is why, historically, it has been very difficult for me to recommend the purchase of Android mobiles in this price range. With the advances in hardware, things have changed a lot in recent years. To the point that what I look most is in the ROM and the user experience that the buyer will have, more than in the rest of details and differences between devices. And here, next to Google, Samsung is the one who is moving the baton. Image | Xataka In Xataka Android | After a decade with an Android mobile, three months ago I went to iPhone.

Apple will present ‘a new family member’ next week. Everything points to the iPhone se 4

by

Tim cook has announced An Apple launch for next Wednesday, February 19. “Prepare to meet the new family member,” he says in the publication he has made through social networks. And, yes, we are also thinking about the iPhone Se 4, a model that was rumored for this week or next. It will not be a keynote to use. In fact, there will not even be a presentation that we can follow through YouTube or the Apple page. It is expected that, throughout the day, the company will surprise both in its Newsroom as in the device section. Rumoring the iPhone is fourth generation for weeks, all eyes point to the fifth family member. We expect a phone with a single camera, the front of the iPhone 14 and the processor of The iPhone 16 with 8 GB of RAM to be able to execute Apple Intelligence. This phone, with 6.1 -inch OLED screen, action button, and focused as the access iPhone, has a rumored price of 599 euros in Spain. We can meet it on the Apple website between 14 and 17 Spanish time.

Honda and Nissan have broken negotiations for their merger. Now another buyer appears on the horizon: the iPhone manufacturer

by

Both companies believe that the most appropriate is to cease negotiations With these words, Honda and Nissan have confirmed that they have not reached an agreement and that, therefore, they put an end to their negotiations to add forces. What in March 2024 was exposed as a collaboration agreementat the end of the year was taking fusion form. Until, finally, there were clear that Honda would buy an important part of Nissan. Although there has been talk of Japanese government pressures to force the merger between both companies and try to get Nissan out of a financial hole that points to 9,000 layoffsthe truth is that Honda does not seem completely willing to merge from equal to equal. In recent days, the clearest option seemed to buy Honda of the totality or an important part of Nissan for turn it into a kind of subsidiarysomething that has ended up breaking negotiations. Nissan is now in a complicated situation but has preferred to maintain some independence in its future development. At the moment, it has to face the thousands of dismissals mentioned above but that will be nothing more than the confirmation that the company will fulfill its reduction in production by 20%. They are demanding but mandatory measures now that the profits of profits for the fiscal year that ends soon in Japan 70% have been adjusted compared to the original forecasts. At the moment, companies have announced that they are still open to collaborations for the development of potential future products although there is nothing written about this. Both companies face a future challenge with the electric car. Beyond Japan, the United States aims to be its strongest market but Nissan has fallen hard in the countrywhile putting Great efforts to jump into the electric car in the medium term. In Europe, where the road to the electric car has been paving from the political spheres, Nor has he received the expected support. To all of the above you have to add a context that has further complicated things. In Europe the idea begins to slide They will delay pressure measures to manufacturers to jump into the electric car. In the United States, Donald Trump is determined to end the promotion of this technology that Joe Biden had promoted with large tax incentives. Steel and aluminum tariffs They can be the icing to make the product more expensive and hinder its economic viability. In all this jaleo, a new player appears on the horizon. Foxconn and the car, the eternal desired Since the economic difficulties that Nissan is going through, Foxconn has been seen, he would see that he would be interested in buying an important part of the company and starting to manufacture its vehicles. The Taiwanese company is known for the production of iPhone But he has long since assured that his experience producing all kinds of technological devices may be sufficient to produce your own vehicles. Intentions are clear for years: produce platforms with all the integrated hardware necessary to make each manufacturer contributing its distinctive point with the software. To assert its position, Foxconn has been insisting that this way of working is perfect for launching electric cars at a low price. In December 2022Liu Young-Way, his CEO, said that the company’s strategy went to reach between 40 and 50% of world car production. The first milestone was marked by 2025 when they aspired to produce 5% world vehicles. Obviously, this will not happen but aware of the difficulties Nissan has, Foxconn has been interested in at least, with the shareholding that Renault keeps in the Japanese company as a consequence of the alliance, Woven under the mandate of Carlos Ghosnand its subsequent agreements that have been diluting participation of the French. With the negotiations between Honda and Nissan, foxconn again gained strength after Nissan will confirm last week which was open to new collaborations, including that of the Taiwanese company. Since then, the Rumors They have been taking strength although their managers have been elusive. In his last statements, Foxconn has made it clear that his true intention with Nissan would be framed within a collaboration and not of the purchase from your shareholders. These statements, of course, came before the publication of the cessation of negotiations between Honda and Nissan. Photo | Sling In Xataka | Nissan pointed to the electric car as a future plan.

The iPhone is seen in its greatest filtration to date. It is a crazy night between iPhone 14 and iPhone 8

by

The fourth generation of iPhone se It will launch this week, According to the most recent leaks. It is not unreasonable to think that it will be, since the design of this phone has just been known practically. The filtration shows that, supposedly, will be the iPhone stops this 2025, a phone that would inherit components of the iPhone 14betting on his classic strategy of just one camera. Hi, iPhone 14 … or iPhone 12. Notch, you again here. It seemed to have disappeared with the arrival of the iPhone 15 Basethat hugged the Dynamic island of the iPhone 14 Probut I was just Parranda. According to the leaks, the iPhone will be inherited a frontal front of previous models, with notch but a good screen use. This would be 6.1 inches, OLED and with Full HD+resolution, the same one we have seen on the iPhone of previous years and with less than the 2,000 nits implemented from the iphone 15L. What does not appear anywhere is the action button, Apple’s last idea for its generation iPhone 16. The rear … to the iPhone style. How strange it is seen a mobile phone with a single camera. This iPhone would arrive with a single sensor, predictably 48 megapixels, which would allow it to make “optical” (sensor cut) of up to two increases without loss of quality. The resignation of the ultra wide angle may seem more serious than it really is. This is the camera less uses (and of lower quality) in general terms, so sacrificing it to adjust the price of the phone to the maximum it is not a bad idea. The rest of the hardware. Apple would not want to give up Apple Intelligence with its se, which would force the company to implement the Apple A18 Bionic and a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. As a curious fact, it is rumored that this phone would arrive with its own modem for 5G, to save costs compared to Qualcomm. In short, a 2025 hardware device and airs a few years ago, at a price that is expected below 600 euros. An access alternative for those who want a new iPhone without spending too much.

Apple plans to present the iPhone is 4 in the next few days, according to Gurman. The arrival of the expected mobile is approaching

by

Apple last updated the iPhone se Three years ago. In March 2022 A new device appeared that retained the lines, the LCD visualization panel and the Touch ID of The previous generation. It was a continuous bet that did not risk too much. This may be about to change, At least according to what Mark Gurman says. Bloomberg analyst points out that Apple plans to present the iPhone se 4 next week. Shipments, according to the sources consulted, would begin at the end of the month. We are facing a rumor that does not go unnoticed because it is one of the most anticipated phones of the Cupertino company, mainly for what its review promises. What to expect from the iPhone se 4? Rumors about the device have been accumulating for a long time, all before the silence that Apple usually. Recall that the apple signature does not usually provide No track about your products until the day of your presentation. However, Gurman’s reputation allows us to carefully contemplate the following unofficial information. It will have a bigger screen with Face ID Will release design without the classic starting button Will equip an A18 chip like the one that has the iPhone 16 Will stop using the modem made by Qualcomm How could it be anticipated, the iPhone will be compatible with Apple Intelligence. Gurman does not need the amount of RAM that the phone will have, but we could assume that it will arrive with 8 GB to support this feature that has become central for the firm led by Tim Cook. What has been confirmed that it is that It will arrive with USB-C port. Nor are there details about the price, data that we will know if it finally occurs within a few days. As a reference, the iPhone 3 reached the market in 2022 at a price of 529 euros. This year also promises to be interesting for the rest of the family’s products, with the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro receiving important updates.

The boom and fall of Blackberry, the status symbol that the iPhone turned into history

by

Before the absolute domain of the format imposed by smartphones with any screen without space for the keys, in half the world who left the cod was nokia. In the other half was Blackberry. Its mobile phones, with a reliable QWERTY keyboard and technology to the last, were synonym for quality, even status. Not only public figures had a Blackberry, but their use in business environments was practically mandatory at certain levels, and the company got that His models were desired by the general public. In that area, they had a very special model: the Blackberry Pearl 8100. It was something similar to what is currently happening with the iPhone, but beyond ‘Fardar’, having a Blackberry allowed access to a free instant messaging service among its users. At a time when SMS kept costing money (unless they were included in the rate) and were not as immediate as a chat, Blackberry Messenger It was consolidated as a kind of Microsoft Messenger to talk to friends and family. In 2009, everyone wanted to have a Blackberry mobile and dominated the market with almost 21% share. However, nothing lasts forever and, as soon as the iPhone and the Android mobiles They began to popular, the company’s sales fell into dive. The reason for his success was that physical keyboard that had stopped making sense and to which the brand He wanted to cling without successeven testing hybrid alternatives and Systems like Blackberry 10 To compete against Android. Spoiler: They did not set. And that is only a tip of the Blackberry iceberg, a story that my partner Ana Boria tells perfectly in the video we leave to lead this article, with the perfect storm that led to the loud fall of the mythical Blackberry. And it is curious because, many years later and already in 2025, there are users who continue to remember the fantastic times of that innovative Blackberry and, especially its keyboard and touchpad with those who differentiated themselves from the competition. From outside, as someone who never had a Blackberry, I can only say that it is even sorry for the story of a company that, obviously, was buried by a progress that did not see coming and who did not know how to adapt. Although … well, it’s not like so many other companies that disappeared without a trace. Although their attempts to return to the mobile segment did not work, at least they managed to reinvent themselves in other fields. AND It seems that nothing is going to him.
