iPhone 16 and the Anticipated iPhone 17: The AI Revolution

There is Little Time Left for the Introduction of iPhone 16

As Apple prepares to introduce the iPhone 16, it is noteworthy that this new model will be the first device released by the company following the announcement of Apple Intelligence. With its enhanced processor, high-quality camera system, and long-lasting battery performance, the iPhone 16 could be a very attractive option for existing iPhone users. However, a noteworthy leak suggests that the device users are truly excited about and may want to upgrade to could be the iPhone 17.

Previous leaks have predicted that the iPhone 17 will feature a revamped front camera, three main lenses with 48 MP resolution on each of the Pro models, and the introduction of a completely new iPhone 17 Slim model for the first time. Additionally, one of the most remarkable features of the new iPhone series expected to be released in 2025 is anticipated to be artificial intelligence. According to reliable leak source Phone Chip Expert on Weibo, “this year’s iPhone 16 has only 8 GB of memory, and AI will mostly work in the cloud. Next year’s iPhone 17 will have 12 GB of memory and will offer more edge AI applications.”

If these claims are accurate, the increased RAM capacity could lead users to overlook the iPhone 16 and wait for the iPhone 17. Looking at Apple’s development process for Apple Intelligence, it seems reasonable that the iPhone, set to launch in 2025, will play a significant role in the field of artificial intelligence. Considering that the features currently being tested are only available in beta form to developers running iOS 18.1, it is expected that the iPhone 16 will likely be launched without Apple Intelligence features.

Furthermore, it is believed that many functions, such as Genmoji, image generation capabilities, and a new Siri that understands context, will be gradually introduced over time. Apple has confirmed that some Apple Intelligence features will only be available in the later parts of 2025. This situation likely indicates that there will be a more comprehensive platform update and expansion around the WWDC 2025 event. However, how long it will take for Apple to expand its platform to more languages and regions remains unclear. Nevertheless, it is estimated that at least a year may be needed for the best Apple Intelligence features to become generally available.

In light of all this information, the iPhone 17 could be a phone that users demand much more, with a more advanced artificial intelligence experience, more RAM for on-device AI capabilities, and other advantages. In other words, for those considering upgrading to a new iPhone, it may be wise to overlook the iPhone 16 and wait for the iPhone 17.
