AI-powered iPhone on the way – but the tools are delayed

Apples Iphone 16 is to be launched today, several media outlets report. This is an important piece of the puzzle when the American tech giant tries to catch up with competitors in terms of artificial intelligence (AI). But the AI tools that everyone wants seem to be delayed.

At 7 pm tonight, Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 16 (and new Apple Watch models) at the annual Glowtime event.

The iPhone 16 comes with a new generation of processors, called A18, according to Financial Times. They have been developed in collaboration with the British chip manufacturer Arm and are based on Arm's new V9 design – a chip technology that has been used in Apple's MacBook computers since May.

Update in October

However, there will be no rapid AI revolution, but rather a gradual scaling up of AI tools in the new mobile phone going forward. The consumer who hopes for a transformative AI experience in an iPhone 16 phone will have to wait for Apple's software update in the operating system iOS in October, according to the news agency Bloomberg.

Moreover, the AI services – which have been developed at a rapid pace under the slogan Apple Intelligence – will initially not be available in the EU. Therefore, not in Sweden either. They will also not be available in China, the world's largest mobile market, according to the news agency.

The AI tools that come with the iPhone 16 – if you live in the right country and get the right updates in place – include services for summarizing large text materials, processing texts and data, and image processing services that allow the user to edit out objects or people from photos on the phone.

Siri's AI boost delayed

Later this year, Open AI's ChatGPT will be integrated into the system, and the digital assistant Siri's major AI boost is planned for 2025.

Some of Apple's new AI tools will also work on the most advanced iPhone 15 mobile phones: iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, which use so-called A17 chips developed on Arm's so-called V8 architecture.

Arm has a multi-year collaboration agreement with Apple and is expected to take home significantly more royalty revenue going forward on the latest technology. The stock in Arm – listed in the USA – has, along with other chip manufacturers such as Nvidia, risen by 70 percent so far this year.

The company also manufactures chips for computers, cars, and industrial solutions.
