We’ll remove any doubts right now in one fell swoop, just in case. This year, AI is the buzzword, although it was also the buzzword last year. However, there’s an important distinction – last year, it was the buzzword in technology generally. It’s all about mobile this year. Samsung can attest to that.
As it turns out, it’s Apple. There’s a good reason why the next iPhone generation will have an improved Neural Engine. It’s a challenge. Let’s guess. It’s all about artificial intelligence. There will be generative AI features in iOS 18, which is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 16 family in September.
According to a report from Taiwan today, the upcoming iPhones will have a Neural Engine with “significantly” more cores. It doesn’t give us the exact number of cores, but the mere fact that there will be more is significant since the iPhone Neural Engine has had 16 cores since the iPhone 12.
We’re in for a big leap, which is fitting for an AI-filled year. For AI features to progress, hardware must also advance significantly. There might even be a new version of Siri. It might finally be a smart one.
