Many iPhone 16 rumors have one common denominator and that is artificial intelligence. We know that the iPhone 16 will not be the first AI phones, because Samsung intends to introduce them already in mid-January, in the form of its flagship Galaxy S24 series, in a certain respect we can already consider them Google's Pixels 8. However, iPhones will still have a lot to offer, and these 5 things you should know about them. 

Siri and the new microphone 

According to available leaks, Siri should learn many new tricks, precisely in connection with artificial intelligence. It doesn't have to be surprising, moreover, the leakers didn't reveal what the functions would be. However, one hardware innovation is also connected with this, which is the fact that the iPhone 16 will receive a new microphones so that Siri can better understand the commands intended for her.

AI and developers 

Apple has made its MLX AI framework available to all developers, which will give them access to tools to help create AI functions for Apple Silicon chips. Although they primarily talk about those for Mac computers, they also include A chips intended for iPhones, and in addition, it makes more sense for Apple to focus on its iPhones, since smart phones are its main selling item and Mac computers are actually just an accessory. However, Apple has also let it be known that it is already sinking a billion dollars a year into the development of AI. With such high costs, it's only natural that he'll want to get them back. 

iOS 18 

At the beginning of June, Apple will hold WWDC, i.e. the developer conference. It regularly shows the possibilities of new operating systems, when iOS 18 could indicate what iPhones 16 will actually be able to do. But definitely just a hint, not a complete reveal, because Apple will surely keep it until September. However, major changes are expected from iOS 18, precisely with regard to the integration of artificial intelligence, which can in a certain way change not only the appearance of the system but also the meaning of its control.

Performance 

The operation of more powerful artificial intelligence functions also requires a more powerful device itself. But in this regard, there is probably nothing to worry about. The new iPhones should have larger batteries and an A18 or A18 Pro chip, even with more memory in more equipped models. Everything should be handled on the phone, older iPhones with iOS 18 will then send requests to the cloud. In addition, the new iPhones should also have Wi-Fi 7. 

Action button 

All iPhone 16s should have an Actions button, which only the iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max now excel at. Apple is not yet fully utilizing its capabilities, and there is some information that iOS 18 and artificial intelligence functions should change it. But we will have to wait a while for exactly how.
