Apple’s Pro model among the iPhone 16 series could be a big revelation for those who are strong supporters of AI. We’ve seen leaks that point to another upcoming model with a bigger brain, the A18 Pro chip, and we mean that figuratively. The leak states that the chip is not only big but it is implemented in a way that allows machines to make decisions and take actions on your device independently.
Imagine, like a real intelligence, Siri would be aware of your needs or Apple Music would suggest the best playlist based on how you feel emotionally. These are just some of the things we can do with supercharging the Neural Engine that is the AI core of the iPhone. Analysts have gone on record to say that the number of neural cores included in the Pro’s A18 feature is going to be significantly increased, potentially leading to some of the top AI features being made exclusive only to the Pro set of devices.
The GPU, on the other hand, may not see quite as dramatic a step up, but power or a graphics processing unit isn’t all about power. The A18 Pro has a GPU that is the same as its predecessor, the A17 Pro, of the 6-core type. For this reason, this area remains alive and does not suffocate. As far as Apple is concerned, it is true that it achieves even greater performance than many other manufacturers in the field of design it uses.
Whether it’s the rumor of iOS 18 having generative AI in many apps or just the fact that iOS has always emphasized AI, everything is confirmed. It can change the way you deal with your phone through smart healthcare or a new messaging assistant experience.
At Apple’s WWDC developer conference next week, their approach to incorporating AI will be unveiled. While the new iPhone range of the year is expected to be revealed in September, you can prepare for a higher level of on-device intelligence sooner.
