Adam Kos If it were up to you, what hardware innovations would you put in the upcoming iPhone 16? The consumer/user has one idea, but the manufacturer usually has another. According to the current sizes, the iPhone 16 should be relatively boring as far as their hardware innovations are concerned. Will Apple improve it with software?
We saw this especially with regard to the iPhone 14 generation, which didn't exactly bring much of the news. After all, those in the basic series could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Even in the case of the iPhone 15, there is no hardware leap to speak of. The design is more or less the same, the news rather unobtrusive. But it's not just Apple's problem. Many manufacturers overstep the mark.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo currently mentions, how sales of the iPhone 16 will be 15% lower than the current generation, as it fails to engage customers in terms of hardware. But he adds that iPhones will have a general problem. Of course, that would be a big shame for Apple, as it currently has overtaken Samsung in the number of smartphones sold per year. But he has now released the Galaxy S24 series, which is celebrating record pre-sales. If its new Galaxy A series models do well, it can return to the top spot again.

There are two options
In general, the mobile phone market is not going anywhere at the moment. It seems that their classic form is quite exhausted. Samsung and Chinese manufacturers are trying to reverse this with their flexible phones, which are something else after all. They have a small market share, but this could easily be reversed once their price can be brought down more. Then there is artificial intelligence.

This is where Samsung is now mainly betting. He himself stated that there is not much to invent in terms of hardware, and that the future may lie in the possibilities offered by modern smartphones. Hardware doesn't really have to be everything if the AI is useful and reliable (which can't be said 100% about Samsung yet).

In the end, it may not really matter what the iPhone 16 will look like and what hardware it will have. If they provide options that other devices don't, it could be a new direction that even Kuo has no idea about. But it can simply be said that if Apple doesn't introduce its first jigsaw, iPhones will still be the same, and even the engineers and designers themselves won't be able to do much about it.
