According to the latest indiscretions collected on Asian manufacturing lines by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple plans to improve the microphone of the next iPhone 16, to support the Siri voice assistant which will also become more efficient.
A word to Ming-Chi Kuo
“Strengthening Siri's hardware and software features and specifications is key to promoting AI-generated content,” Kuo says, adding that Apple's AI ambitions will rely heavily on understanding the voice of the 'user. The iPhone 16 microphone should therefore have a better signal-to-noise ratio to significantly improve the Siri experience, alongside better water resistance.
This information corroborates previous rumors which announced iOS18 equipped with a much better voice assistant Siri, to support an iPhone 16 range which would not bring much in terms of hardware.
