According to analysts close to Apple’s supply chain, the iPhone 16 may come with higher RAM or storage than expected to run artificial intelligence features.
Since reaching the end user with ChatGPT, productive artificial intelligence has become a part of our lives at an incredible speed. With the Galaxy AI announced during the launch of the Galaxy S24 Series, Samsung proved that artificial intelligence will become a part of the smartphones that become our hands-on devices. Tim Cook also hinted that Apple’s silence on artificial intelligence would be broken with the iPhone 16.
Although the first thing that comes to our mind when it comes to artificial intelligence is software, artificial intelligence tools are built with language models with billions of parameters and require a lot of time. They need powerful hardware. Therefore, while developing artificial intelligence-supported vehicles, the devices that will run those vehicles are also extremely important. So, are iPhones equipped enough for artificial intelligence?
Both RAM and storage capacity of iPhone 16 may increase for artificial intelligence
As you know, Apple prefers to carry out transactions involving the user’s personal data within the device rather than in the cloud with an internet connection. The artificial intelligence features that are likely to come into our lives with the iPhone 16 series will be available on the device without the need for internet. It is expected to be realized with its own processing power. This may cause the iPhone 16s to appear as more powerful devices than expected.
Some analysts in South Korea, close to Apple’s supply chain, state that Apple may increase its RAM capacity in order to run artificial intelligence features. Accordingly, all models in the iPhone 16 series, regardless of Pro-standard distinction 8GB RAM may appear with its capacity. Additionally, if Apple chooses to store artificial intelligence-related data as NAND flash, the initial storage capacity of the new iPhones 256GB it could be.
There are still nearly 6 months until the launch of the iPhone 16 models, and Apple may choose one of the two upgrades mentioned above in this process. can implement both. It is possible that more information on the subject will emerge as both WWDC 2024 and the iPhone 16 launch approach.
