The iPhone 16 lineup will include several new AI features powered by Apple's "Apple Intelligence" suite:
Siri Upgrades
- Siri will gain capabilities similar to ChatGPT, allowing it to handle more complex tasks like text summarization, comprehensive query responses, and proofreading[1].- Siri may be able to alter text tones and suggest improvements in structure, similar to Google Assistant[1].
Camera and Photo Editing
- Apple is exploring adding anti-reflective technology to the camera manufacturing process to reduce lens flare and improve photo quality[4].- The iPhone 16 will include AI-powered "Clean Up" and "Image Wand" tools in the Photos and Notes apps to remove unwanted objects, fill in gaps, and create images from sketches[5].
Generative AI
- iOS 18 will include AI-generated emojis called "Genmoji" to add playful charm to messages[5].- Users will be able to create images from scratch based on text prompts using ChatGPT integration[5].
Other Features
- Voice memos will be automatically transcribed using AI[5].While the iPhone 16 represents a solid upgrade, the AI features appear to be the main selling point, with Apple aiming to catch up to rivals like Google and Samsung in this area. However, some of the most advanced AI capabilities may not be available until a later software update[4].
