The new iPhone 16 series launching in 2024 will not get major design changes as Apple looks to focus on consistency and functionality. We have already heard reports about the iPhone 16 models getting a new capture button for the camera that will respond to touch and pressure.
But no major design changes mean the iPhone 16 series will be placed next to the iPhone 15 models and jokes will be made about its identical looks, just like the memes we see almost every year. The details about the lack of changes with the upcoming iPhones come via Ming-Chi Kuo, analyst through a post this week.
Kuo is known for his estimates and trend updates on Apple and he is back with yet another update which also talks about Apple’s supposed AI focus this year. Kuo mentioned that iOS 18 could have AI in some form but the major upgrades for iPhones will not come before 2025. What this means is that, if you really want to get the top AI features from the company then the iPhone 17 launch next year could be the one to keep an eye on.
It is interesting to see Kuo dismiss major AI features for this year, especially when the iOS 18 version is expected to introduce some AI chops from the company. It is likely that Kuo feels Apple will start it slowly with iOS 18 in 2024 and then have a full array of AI tools ready to be unleashed in the best possible way.
In some ways it makes sense, as companies need to slow down on their AI venture and also look to consolidate the systems that run these applications. Apple is rumoured to bring on-device data processing from day one, and that needs thorough testing before the final version is rolled out for the public. We can’t wait to see how Apple plans to challenge the AI giants in the near future.
