iPhone 16 Pro review: Apple levels up its smaller ‘pro’ phone

Apple has added a 5x zoom camera from the Pro Max line to its iPhone 16 Pro, upgrading its smaller ‘pro’ phone and making it an instant contender for the best small-sized smartphone. The 16 Pro has the same price tag as its predecessor and costs £999 (€1,199/$999/A$1,799), positioning it between the 16 Pro Max priced at £1,199 and the iPhone 16, which starts at £799. The slick and crisp 6.3in display is one of the best available on the market, although the peak brightness doesn’t match that of rivals.
The 16 Pro runs iOS 18 and has seen a lot of customization features added for the home screen, control centre, updates to the Photos, Notes and Maps apps, a new password manager, and RCS support for the messages app. Despite Apple’s high-profile AI features, the much-publicised Siri and other various AI writing tools are yet to be released.
The 16 Pro’s new chip is around 10-15% faster and 20% more efficient and will remain fast in the coming years. The 16 Pro is smaller and easier to hold than most flagship smartphones and fits easily in one’s pocket. The battery lasts around 38 to 40 hours between charges with a mix of 5G and wifi.
The phone has more than 25% recycled material, including aluminium, cobalt, copper, gold, lithium, plastic, rare earth elements, steel, tin, and tungsten. The 16 Pro features repair guides and was awarded a score of 7/10 for repairability by iFixit. The battery should last for excess of 1,000 full-charge cycles, with at least 80% of its original capacity, and can be replaced for £109.
Apple has updated the iPhone 16 Pro’s camera to feature the same 5x optical zoom and ultrawide 48MP camera as the Pro Max line, a dedicated camera control button, and its photographic styles feature has been improved and creative editing can be done using a virtual D-pad.
The 16 Pro strikes the optimal balance in terms of size and capability with top-tier features compressed into a small frame. It has a good screen, excellent cameras with 5x optical zoom, USB-C, action, and camera control buttons and good battery life. The 16 Pro is an expensive phone, and its camera control may be a little tricky for some users. It looks similar to its predecessors.

Master Bidirectional One-to-One Relations in 5 Steps: Boost Spring Data JPA Efficiency

This article discusses how to model entity classes in bidirectional one-to-one mappings using Hibernate, to perform CRUD operations efficiently by exploiting relations , and how to optimize serialization and deserialization with @JsonManagedReference and @JsonBackReference in Spring Data JPA.
Bidirectional one-to-one connection sets give fundamental advantages while utilizing JPA to map entity classes to related database tables.
The mappedBy attribute ought to be utilized to signal to Hibernate that the relationship key is on the other side. Mastery of bidirectional one-to-one relations is achieved through concise examples involving entity definition, CRUD operations, configuration of one-to-one mapping and features of Spring Data JPA toolkit.
The mapping of entity classes is determined by the @OneToOne annotation which facilitates easy access to fields contained within related tables.
Getting a one-to-one mapping with bidirectional mapping involves assigning the mappedBy parameter in the @OneToOne association on one side of the relation, and on the other side the other class is referenced with the targetEntity attribute of @OneToOne.
Crud operations can be optimized through the CascadeType.ALL function provided by the JPA repository, transforming cascading saves, updates and deletions into appropriate SQL statements.
@JsonManagedReference and @JsonBackReference annotations can be used to resolve infinite recursion caused by entities possessing mutual nontrivial associations, by omitting links to the mapped objects containing the forbidden parent field.
The assignment of mappedBy is done in such a way that the owning side is designated. The importance of this attribute becomes more pronounced while involving parent-children relationships.
For bidirectional one-to-one mapping, the inverse side has mappedBy attribute obligatory. Always use mappedBy on the inverse side of the association.
To improve processing speed and minimize server load, you may consider using the Hibernate Search engine to build high-speed searches within the data store.

Resilience in the Cloud - Fault Isolation Boundaries

Fault isolation boundaries are logical divisions within your infrastructure that are intended to contain the impact of component failure.
AWS provides infrastructure-level fault isolation boundaries including availability zones, regions, accounts, partitions, and local zones.
These boundaries fit into a conversation around resilience. AWS uses them internally to roll out new capabilities in a safe manner so that any failed changes can not only be rolled back quickly, but also only impact a small number of users.
Regions are deliberately designed to be hundreds of miles apart such that a natural disaster impacting one region should not impact its neighbors.
In contrast to regions, availability zones are separated by just tens of miles to ensure that data replication between them remains fast.
AWS services are implemented with a division between their control and data planes, which enables a concept called static stability.
Statistically speaking, failures of individual availability zones are more likely than entire regions.
Implementing statically stable workloads across multiple AZs in a single region is a good first step, and many services in AWS make it easy to operate across them simultaneously.
For the most critical workloads, multi-region operations might be necessary, but this is significantly more expensive and can require a lot of refactoring.
The AWS Whitepaper on Fault Isolation Boundaries provides deeper insights into how various AWS services are built for resilience and some hidden gotchas that you may not be thinking about.
