Apple is taking its time developing iOS 18 and a new report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggests that next year's iPhone 16 series will come with exclusive generative AI features, which will be key selling points for the new devices.
The new report does not reveal any specific details about what these AI features will do, but we can assume they will be similar to what Google and Samsung are doing with text-to-image generation, document summarization, and translation. Apple is also rumored to be using its own large language model (LLM) to overhaul Siri.
The iPhone 16 series is not expected to come with major hardware changes, so Apple will likely try to push the new AI features as the key selling points for its upcoming devices. The iPhone 16 series is also expected to launch with the Apple A18 chip across all four models.
The Pro devices are said to feature a new Capture Button located on the right side near the power button. Other leaks point to a smaller Dynamic Island and a 5x optical zoom camera on the iPhone 16 Pro.
