I recently told you how good mid-range phones will be this year, like the unreleased Pixel 8a and iPhone SE 4. Smartphone tech has evolved so much that many people can get flagship features without coughing up big bucks for a flagship smartphone. At the same time, I said more than once that I'm personally ready to upgrade to the more expensive iPhone 16 Pro this year to get my hands on Apple's best generative AI features coming via iOS 18.
I don't necessarily want Apple's exclusive AI features from the iPhone 16 as much as I want on-device AI. Artificial intelligence will play a major role in our lives moving forward, and I'm looking forward to personalized AI experiences as well as an AI assistant that can run locally instead of in the cloud. That's the only way to trust AI with my private data.
A new report indicates that's exactly what Apple is aiming for with the A18 Pro chip that will power the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. The focus for the new custom silicon is on-device AI, and it's in line with previous leaks surrounding Apple's plans for the iPhone 16 chips.
