I upgrade my iPhone every year, but the iPhone 16 worries me. Here’s why.
Apple Intelligence, introduced with iOS 18, offers advanced on-device AI capabilities, including Writing Tools and content summarization. However, these features are powered by a downsized AI model, much smaller than competitors like GPT-4, which may limit their effectiveness. Current beta versions show promise but fall short of the game-changing usability some expect.
Why You Might Hold Off on the iPhone 16
The iPhone 16 is expected to feature hardware upgrades, including up to 12GB of RAM in Pro models. However, these improvements might not fully support the demanding Apple Intelligence features, leading to potential performance issues. Additionally, AI processing could strain battery life and cause overheating, making the iPhone 16 feel more like a transitional product rather than a groundbreaking one.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Apple Intelligence
By 2025, Apple Intelligence will likely be more integrated across Apple devices, including the Apple Watch, HomePod, and Apple TV. Until then, if you’re considering the iPhone 16 primarily for its AI capabilities, it may be wise to manage your expectations and consider other features like camera and display enhancements.
