The iPhone 16 is rumored to be getting an AI-powered Siri, with a significant boost to the microphone, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In a Medium post, Kuo suggests that Apple needs to upgrade the internals of the next-generation iPhone to support the new Siri, specifically focusing on the hardware for voice input.
Which upgrades are coming to the iPhone 16’s microphone?
Kuo mentions two upgrades for the iPhone 16’s microphone: better water resistance and improved signal-to-noise ratio. This information aligns with an earlier leak from @Tech_Reve, who hinted at Apple revamping Siri with LLM technology to make it a powerful AI app.
Kuo states that the microphone upgrades will apply to all iPhone 16 models, including the entry-level iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, and iPhone 16 Pro variants. Despite the advancements in AI technology from Apple, they may continue to refer to it as “machine learning” instead of AI.
These are just rumors, so take them with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, the prospect of a “machine learning-powered Siri” is something to look forward to.
