1/6 In the race for artificial intelligence supremacy among flagship smartphones, Apple appears to be gearing up to outshine its rivals, particularly the Samsung Galaxy S24 and Google Pixel 8 series. Reports from Taiwanese site Economic Daily News, suggest that the upcoming iPhone 16 line will be equipped with an A18 chipset boasting a Neural Engine with significantly more cores than its predecessor, the A17 Pro used in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Increasing the number of cores in the Neural Engine aligns with Apple's strategy to enhance its AI capabilities significantly. While the exact core count for the A18's Neural Engine remains undisclosed, the A17 Pro featured 16 cores, implying a noteworthy advancement in AI processing for the iPhone 16 series, Techradar reported.  (AP)

While this leak should be taken with caution, expectations are high for the A18 to deliver significantly improved AI capabilities. (HT Tech)

5/6 There's speculation about whether all iPhone 16 models will feature the A18 chipset. Apple has traditionally reserved its latest chipsets for the Pro models. Furthermore, rumors suggest that certain advanced AI features may be exclusive to the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, potentially leaving the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus with a less powerful chipset.

Regardless, it appears increasingly likely that this year's Pro models will equip Apple with the hardware needed to rival Samsung and Google in the realm of AI, though the software and additional features remain uncertain.

Anticipation is building as leaked CAD renders of the upcoming iPhone SE 4 have surfaced, providing a sneak peek into what might be Apple's next budget-friendly device. Expected to succeed the iPhone SE (2022), this latest model has been the subject of numerous rumours and speculations in recent months, and the leaked renders add fuel to the excitement.

Modern Design with Notable Omissions

According to a report from 91Mobiles, the CAD renders showcase a modern design that omits the traditional home button, signalling a departure from previous SE models. The display is expected to receive a significant upgrade, potentially measuring 6.1 inches- a notable enhancement compared to the iPhone SE (2022)'s 4.7-inch screen. The presence of a familiar notch, reminiscent of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14, suggests the inclusion of the Face ID module.
