Although iOS 17 is still a bunch of bugs, but iOS 18 related information is not a little bit. The latest news from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says that iOS 18 will be a major iPhone update since the last major update was iOS 14 in 2020, and that Apple is currently working on a number of AI features that will be used in iOS 18. It is expected to catch up with Google in the functional application of AI. Mark Gurman also revealed that there will be no major updates to the iPhone 16 series next year, so Apple will focus on iOS 18, introducing "major new features and designs," along with major improvements in performance and security. Apple's management described iOS 18 as an "ambitious" and "innovative" project that had to be "extremely compelling."
Although Gurman did not mention the specific details of iOS 18 this time, it is said that because the quality of the initial version of the system did not meet expectations, Apple's head of software engineering Craig Federighi decided to suspend the development of new features of iOS 18 for about a week at the end of last month. Use this time to fix system bugs, but it will not affect the release date of iOS 18 next year. The reason why Craig Federighi did this is because in 2019, Apple carried out a comprehensive innovation to the iOS system, but because the system loopholes had not been solved, the new iPhone still failed on the day of release, so this time, the development was suspended, the software was properly debugged and the performance was improved before continuing.
Earlier, Apple is developing a series of new AI features for iOS 18, and as early as last month, analysts said that Apple plans to start incorporating generative AI technology on iphones and ipads as early as the end of 2024. However, there is still a long time to go before next year's WWDC developer conference, during which there are many uncertain factors, there is information about iOS 18 can not be trusted, if interested users may wish to continue to pay attention to the official information.
The other mentioned iPhone 16 series will not have a major update, earlier several analysts have said that the size of the iPhone 16 series will be larger, including the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro will be increased to 6.3 inches, The iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro Max models will be 6.9 inches. Due to the larger body size, the iPhone 16 Pro model will be equipped with the same four-prism periscope head as the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and support 5x optical zoom, and the top version of the iPhone 16 Pro Max will also be equipped with 12-megapixel four-prism periscope head; The two models of the iPhone 16 series will still use the dual camera module, and the ultra-wide-angle lens will retain the 12-megapixel sensor, but will not support the macro function.
If there is no accident in terms of performance, the iPhone 16 Pro should be equipped with a new A18 Pro chip, using the same 3nm process as the A17 Pro, and the memory is still estimated to be 8GB; The iPhone 16 most likely uses the A17 chip. Again, these are all online Revelations and estimates, just take a look. If next year's iPhone 16 series is really released as the Internet said there is no big update, the appeal of products with insufficient sincerity to consumers is more and more limited, so the big update of iOS 18 must be enough to attract consumers to make them buy new products.
