Apple's iPhone 16 To Get Turbocharged Siri With Exclusive On-Device AI Features

Apple will apparently arm Siri with generative AI features and launch it with iPhone 16.

What Happened: Although Apple has been reluctant about participating in the AI buzz this year, Apple is reportedly developing a supercharged AI-powered Siri for the iPhone 16 as the AI race heats up with rivals Alphabet, and Microsoft racing ahead with Bard and Bing AI, respectively.

What It Will Bring: According to tipster Revegnus, Apple will launch a completely revamped version of Siri with the iPhone 16 and iOS 18. The new Siri will retain the familiarity of its predecessor while gaining AI-powered smart features.

But Wait: However, there is a catch – while Siri will offer AI features, only the iPhone 16 will come with on-device AI. Older iPhones, including the just-launched iPhone 15, will get only cloud-based AI features. For users, this means Siri's AI features will consume less power and data on iPhone 16, while older iPhones will need an active internet connection.

Why It Matters: Apple has remained mum on AI despite its rivals Google, Microsoft, and Samsung, jumping on the hype train. During its latest earnings call, Cook said AI is a "fundamental technology", but did not elaborate on this more. With that said, Apple is no stranger to AI: it has been using machine learning across the company in various products, including iPhones and iPads, Macs, and more.
