Apple will improve the iPhone 16 microphone to improve AI

The advances that are being made publicly around artificial intelligence show the extent to which it can influence our lives and this is how large companies like Google, OpenAI or Microsoft are taking advantage of this technology. Apple has been cloaking AI under the concept of machine learning for years, but they have yet to take the step toward truly competing in artificial intelligence. Everything indicates that the synergy between iPhone 16 and iOS 18 will represent a big change.

But to get everything ready, Apple plans to improve the iPhone 16 hardware starting with change the microphone.

That’s why what Kuo says makes sense: Apple will try to improve the iPhone 16’s hardware to improve its capacity. In fact, the the microphone will have a better signal-to-noise ratio and better water resistance, This will improve voice capture, which is essential to start interacting with the model itself introduced in Siri.

According to Kuo, the ASP of these microphones will be changed to reach up to 100% and 150% improvement over the iPhone 15, which would imply that the sound input of the iPhone 16 will be of much better quality for the arrival of that of Apple. own language model with iOS 18.
