Apple Drops Exciting Hint that Generative AI is Set to Transform iPhone 16

Now that Google and Samsung have made AI technologies a major focus of their most recent smartphone announcements, it's time for Apple to follow suit. After the company's financial report, Tim Cook stated on the earnings call that he will discuss generative AI "later this year."

It is logical to assume that the features will be unveiled during WWDC in the summer, and then they will be included in the iPhone 16 lineup in September.

Regarding generative AI, Tim Cook expressed, "In the realm of generative AI, which I presume is your area of interest, we have significant ongoing efforts internally, as I've mentioned previously. Our approach has consistently been to complete our work before discussing it, avoiding getting ahead of ourselves. We intend to maintain this approach. However, we have some remarkable developments that we are eagerly looking forward to sharing later this year."

Siri may employ AI for summarization, intelligent Message answers, and AI across apps like Apple Music, Pages, and Keynote, according to code found in iOS 17.4. It appears that the corporation is not committed to any one AI model; at the moment, it is evaluating both internet-connected and on-device models.
