Apple seems to have decided to introduce its Generative AI tech this year. During the recent earnings call, Tim Cook talked about generative AI, claiming to have “advantages” that will “differentiate” Apple in the era of artificial intelligence.
Tim Cook also claimed that some “very exciting things” will be shared with customers soon. Apple’s CEO might be linking it with the yearly Developers event that takes place in June. After teasing the advancements next month, the iPhone 16 may ship with AI features.
Galaxy AI is a key reason behind Samsung’s sizzling S24 sales globally. Apple will likely sell high number of iPhone 16 models, thanks to AI’s inclusion. As the company claims, the edge over rivals would be worth watching on how previous companies have missed opportunity.
Apple is reportedly preferring on-device AI features rather than cloud-based. It’s a limited approach against Samsung, which introduced both on-device and cloud-based AI features with the Galaxy S24 series. Well, the industry is likely to benefit from Apple’s entry into the AI era.
- We continue to feel very bullish about our opportunity in generative AI. We are making significant investments and we’re looking forward to sharing some very exciting things with our customers soon.
- We believe in the transformative power and promise of AI and we believe we have advantages that will differentiate us in this new era, including Apple’s unique combination of seamless hardware, software and services integration, groundbreaking Apple silicon with our industry leading neural engines, and our unwavering focus on privacy, which underpins everything we create.

Korea’s Samsung Display and LG Display prep to initiate Apple iPhone 16 Pro display production in the first half. The report states that Apple has reduced the bottom bezel of the display for the upcoming Pro models, which would include the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max.
According to TheElec, Samsung Display will commence Apple iPhone 16 display production in the first half itself. While the timeline isn’t clear, it’s expected that LG Display is also striving to begin the mass production of panels for the iPhone 16 Pro lineup.
Samsung reportedly established an organization earlier this month to strengthen its Apple business. It is reported that the Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology is applied to make the bottom bezel thinner on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max models.
Samsung Display will likely produce OLED panels for all four models, including two Pro models and the other regular and Plus models. Meanwhile, LG Display plans to produce only two models, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, which require a thin bottom bezel.
