Apple will debut the first generative AI iPhone

 


Apple has announced the date of its next major event, where they will launch the iPhone 16 

On Monday, September 9 the tech giant will host a special event with the tag line “It’s Glowtime.” The event will take place at 10 am PT at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park and will be streamed online.

Though it’s not clear yet what “glowtime” is referring to, embedded artificial intelligence will be a key feature of the latest iPhone.

In June, Apple announced generative AI features for the iPhone at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. The company unveiled tools powered by “Apple Intelligence,” from personalized Genmoji — Apple’s AI-generated emoji — to a smarter Siri, which can answer questions about your schedule, what’s in your email and what time your flight is landing.

The upcoming iPhone 16 is expected to be the first device designed fully with AI in mind.

Angelo Zino, a CFRA Research technology analyst, said the new AI features will be rolled out over the next few years.

 “This will be an evolutionary process,” Zino said.

Combining Siri with OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT-4o model will allow the assistant to recall a picture taken years ago, provide more specific information, and even possibly learn the user’s preferences and personality over time.

One of the biggest questions about the device launch is how much it will cost. Apple enthusiasts believe iPhone models should be cheaper, but investors prefer maximum profit.

Apple’s competitors are already exploring the generative AI space, such as Samsung’s “circle to search” feature, which allows users to quickly search for information on a device’s screen with a finger gesture.
