The iPhone 16 arrives loaded with artificial intelligence. Rumors suggest that the new generation of the iPhone, the iPhone 16, will integrate artificial intelligence (AI) technology through iOS 18. According to leaks, the iPhone 16 could have notable advances in its ability to process and understand data more efficiently.
It is expected that Updated AI functionality in iOS 18 includes improved interactions between Siri and messaging apps, automatically generated playlists in Apple Music, integration with productivity apps for AI-assisted content creation, and much more.
iPhone 16 with Google AI
According to recent reports, Apple is negotiating with Google to integrate Gemini artificial intelligence on the next iPhone 16. Gemini is the AI system developed by Google and used in devices such as the Pixel 8 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.
According to the leaks, Tim Cook and the Apple team are looking for this temporary alliance with Google to be able deliver competitive generative AI capabilities on iPhone 16, while they finish developing their own AI solution.
The idea would be that Gemini integrates with Siri and Apple applications, while the operating system would use Apple's own AI model. In addition, it is rumored that the iPhone 16 would have a new, more advanced neural chip to process generative AI directly on the device, without needing to access the cloud.
Although Apple and Google are rivals in the mobile device market, they also maintain a business relationship. In fact, Google pays Apple billions of dollars a year to be the default search engine on iPhones.
There is still no official confirmation of this alliance. But, it is believed that the incorporation of Gemini in the iPhone 16 could be a move so that Apple does not fall behind in the generative AI race.
Controversial design for the standard iPhone 16

For its part, the iPhone 16 Pro Max will increase the size of the 6.9-inch screen and 4,500mAh battery. It's also expected to have an even better optical zoom, possibly 7x or even 10x, thanks to a new tetra-prismatic lens.
The return of the iPhone SE 4
For those looking for a more affordable option, Apple could launch the iPhone SE 4 in 2024. This device would be similar to the iPhone 15, with a slightly curved design, the sound on/off switch and the new USB-C port, all for around $500.
The iPhone SE 4 would offer a good main camera, software updates and a compact design. Apple's most economical proposal for the tightest pockets.
