He shared that “Activision’s latest bite-sized Call of Duty game looked great and ran at a fluid 120 frames per second on an iPhone 14 Pro Max.” The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the company’s flagship smartphone, which features the A16 bionic chip. Mike Andronico, a writer for CNN, remarked that “2023 is looking like a great time to be an Apple gamer.” He was impressed by Call of Duty: Warzone, which is set to release on iPhone later this year. Some of the games showcased at Apple’s event include Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, Honkai: Star Rail, Lego Star Wars Castaways, Run Legends, and The Medium. However, the focus of this event was entirely gaming, with various game developers presenting their product roadmaps for Apple platforms in 2023. The event was held at a dedicated venue in New York City where the company occasionally organizes private briefings with members of the press to offer demonstrations and presentations of new products. In Air even trackpad had nice smooth muffled click while Pro had loud hollow echo type click.Apple wanted to provide a more personal and hands-on experience for the press and influencers to explore new products.

The again I know pricier Pro models have different type of speakers even in pricier 13' model and then in 16' they are totally different and much better quality than in all others including Air.Īlso some other difference between two I had was that both keyboard and trackpad sounded and felt more solid in Air. So I'm also puzzled as in all specs it looks like Pro should have much better speakers than Air. So that likely causes the difference in bass output.Īlso reading Notebookcheck reviews of the models they have tested so far, I think Air (from 2018 model forward) scored better in all of them than cheapest basic Pro model. From the photos it looks like actual speaker element of each speaker in Air is one large speaker and Pro has two small ones around the same total size together as one in Air. I don't know if things have changed since but looking at iFixit teardowns it looks like speakers today are pretty much the same in both Air and Pro what it was when I made my comparison. It had much more bass and pleasing sound while Pro sounded very tinny while balanced.
