iPhone 16 & AI
It’s coming, we know it’s coming, but what do we want from it?
Like clockwork, we know we’ll be getting the iPhone 16 this September and although the phone itself may look much the same as the one sitting on my desk today — how it works and the iOS behind it stand to be ever so different.
Last week WWDC was confirmed and all the indicators are that Apple is about to get serious about AI.
By Apple’s standards, they’ve been shouting it from the rooftops and saying that iOS 18 will be radically different and be much more AI-focused. CEO Tim Cook even went on record to say that ‘we’re investing quite a bit in AI’ and that Apple will be ‘breaking new ground on generative AI in 2024’ confirming ‘we believe it will unlock transformative opportunities for our users’.
Apple is hardly ever that blatant about their plans — now it would be a massive surprise if we didn’t get a big fat dollop of AI planted into iPhone 16 and iOS 18. So if the takeaway is that AI is a dead cert for WWDC and iPhone 16 the question then is what do we want from it?
