◆Apple Intelligence
Apple's personal AI, 'Apple Intelligence,' announced at WWDC24 in June 2024, is very different from black box models such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, and is an AI trained only on limited data related to improving user experience. However, TechCrunch points out that it is 'not clear until it is released' whether Apple Intelligence's approach is truly effective.

In addition, Apple's voice recognition assistant, Siri, will support ChatGPT and the user interface (UI) will also be changed to a new one.

Among existing iPhones, only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max support Apple Intelligence.

◆iPhone 16 series
According to the latest leaks, the iPhone 15 Pro Max's bezels are 1.55mm, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max's bezels will be as thin as 1.15mm. This will increase the display size of the iPhone 16 Pro Max to 6.89 inches (iPhone 15 Pro Max's display size is 6.69 inches).




Similarly, the iPhone 16 Pro will see an increase in display size from 6.12 inches to 6.27 inches.

Additionally, the camera module is rumored to be thinner, lighter, and feature new molded-glass lenses that improve optical zoom, which doesn't suffer from image degradation like digital zoom.

Below is a dummy model of the iPhone 16 series. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus have a diagonal rear camera and a square camera module, but the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus have a vertical rear camera, which has been changed to a more compact vertical camera module than before. In addition, all iPhone 16 series models will have a capture button on the right side for quick access to the camera.




It has also been reported that technology may be introduced to make batteries larger and easier to replace.

There are also reports that the iPhone 16 Pro will support Wi-Fi 7 .

New Apple Watch
The Apple Watch will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2024. TechCrunch points out that, like the iPhone X, which underwent a major model change to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the iPhone, Apple Watch may also have a commemorative model called 'Apple Watch Series 10' (Series X). It has been reported that the case size will be expanded from the current 41/45mm to 45/49mm, making it thinner than ever before.

In addition, it is expected that the new S10 chip will be used in both the Apple Watch Series 10 and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. TechCrunch pointed out that the inclusion of a new chip 'may mean that the addition of AI features is not far off.'

One of the new features expected to be installed in the new Apple Watch is a blood glucose monitoring function . It is also rumored that it will have a sleep apnea detection function, but Bloomberg reports that this is unlikely to come to fruition due to the litigation between Apple and Masimo .

In addition, it has been pointed out that the new Apple Watch SE may have an all-plastic casing.

Apple is reportedly planning to release two 4th generation AirPods, one a cheaper entry model and the other a mid-range model with active noise cancellation. All 4th generation AirPods models will likely eliminate the Lightning port and adopt a USB-C port.

It has been reported that Apple will postpone the announcement of the M4-equipped Mac until November. New Macs equipped with the M4 are expected to appear by the end of 2024, including the Mac mini, which has a smaller size and no USB-A port, as well as the iMac and MacBook Pro.
