    X to doubt. Apple “usually” plans these changes in ahead so other devices can take advantage of it. Not saying that is the case here at all as there are times it did.

      ChatGPT is just 1 year old. And only recently has it become feasible to run LLMs locally on-device. Apple couldn’t really have planned for it hardware-wise.

      A common requirement for these LLMs and stable diffusion models is large memory requirement, which Apple has always been stingy with. Only with the newer hardware do I foresee them increasing base memory, if they want to make AI more accessible.

    They mean the 16 pro, right? Because in all likelihood, the 16 will use the A17 Pro or something equivalent.

    I’m also not confident that a phone chip will be strong enough to run a LLM like ChatGPT within the next 5 years. I am aware of LLMs that can run on phones right now, but they’re slow and they’re incapable of tasks that require a moderate level of thought. I’m not optimistic about the capabilities of these exclusive features, if they are coming.

    Honestly, AI just sounds like NFT and crypto, in that it’s a vague hip sounding term. What exactly does an AI do in an iphone, and how does it improve the programs and functionality it already has?

    The current generation doesn’t even use the AI capabilities on the CPU. And with future capabilities it’ll likely be cloud based anyways…

    Apple need to stop making jailbreaking so hard so they can steal ideas from the tweaks. All major ios features were stolen jailbroken tweaks.

      No they weren’t. It’s not like as if Apple launched iOS 1.0 and said, “that’s it gang, we’re finished!” They were fully intent on continuing to develop it, often implementing things they were first with from macOS.

      Apple does things very methodically and given how problems can have a huge impact on a product representing both what drives a multi-trillion company as well as what depends on carrier service providers from around the world, it’s often that jailbreak developers got ahead of what Apple was doing or planning.

      Copy & Paste, was first with a jailbreak, but absolutely Apple was going to do this. Video recording, same, and worth noting the jailbreak version sucked. Folders, widgets, control panel… all something Apple had done with macOS long before iOS and were inevitable things.

      Don’t get me wrong, the jailbreak community back in the day was awesome and provided all kinds of features before Apple got around to introducing them. While many of these were novel and innovative, I wouldn’t say the majority didn’t have prior art on macOS, let alone to say that “All major iOS features were stolen from jailbreak tweaks”.

      Also worth noting is that the reason why there was jailbreaking was due to flaws in iOS which potentially posed security risks and Apple patching those is a good thing.

    It’s not new anymore that newer devices with newer chips would have exclusive features.

    I’ve long thought there’s no point in future proofing for my purchases simply because there’s always going to be something new that requires new hardware.

        Just in case you missed it, I was quoting Craig Federighi “We truly live in an age of wonders” from his introduction of multiple timers feature in WWDC 2023

    Wanna bet that this is limited specifically to the camera while any phone capable of running iOS 18 gets all the other AI features

    Notably, TSMC is the sole manufacturer for Nvidia’s powerful H100 and A100 AI processors, the hardware that powers AI tools like ChatGPT and which also comprises the majority of AI data centers.

    This is very weak sauce.

    Idk man, I’ve lived my life up until this point without AI features. Think I’ll be ok.
