We can expect to see the iPhone 16 get "a significant upgrade in microphone specification" according to expert analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, seemingly in the name of readying the phone for new AI capabilities.
The point of the new microphone will be to help Siri work more effectively, Kuo explains, as Apple will supposedly use its voice assistant as the main interface for its new iPhone's AI abilities. With AI-generated content becoming a trend across the tech world, Kuo believes the iPhone 16 will emphasize AI features as well, with this microphone upgrade being the clearest sign so far in his opinion.
