iPhone 16 Pro to become AI smartphone leader says tipster

This year’s iPhone 16 Pro will become a leader in new-gen AI technologies among smartphones says tipster Ice Universe speculating major features launch.

Although the tipster refrained from revealing specific details but there’s plenty to explore about the upcoming AI capabilities.

The Cupertino-based tech company is developing on-device and cloud AI solutions for the iPhone 16. The company will use on-device AI tasks that don’t require internet connectivity and run lightweight in real-time.

This AI will help upgrade system apps including Safari, Notes, Music, and Photos. Features such as transcription will become more useful with AI integration providing an instant and comprehensive overview of the on-screen content. We can also expect better AI Image editing tools.

At WWDC24, Apple will reveal its new iOS 18 operating system as the first step toward AI integrations. The company will also provide improved personalization including home screen customizations.

Features such as generative AI emojis will also help iPhone users make their emojis on the go with text input. A report suggests that users will be able to organize home screen icons based on their preferences and without any layout constraints.

iPhone 16 Pro?

The tipster mentioned the Pro model which suggests that advanced AI features will only come with Pro and Pro Max variants. iPhone 16 Pro models will equip a new chipset featuring an advanced Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for fast AI applications. It will have a dedicated system architecture for generative AI tasks and data processing.

An input indicates that the entire series will have the same processors but there’s no confirmation available on this matter. Currently, Apple is keeping Pro models one step ahead of standard and Plus variants.

The new processor will play a crucial role in providing a robust AI experience in iPhone this year alongside iOS 18. Apple has appeared as a latecomer in the AI smartphone battle but these new capabilities can put the company in the top spot.
