In Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 16 series set to launch later this year, there may be a couple of notable missing features. According to a report by prominent analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from TFI Securities, the upcoming iPhones will not see any significant design changes, and the integration of generative AI on a larger scale is unlikely to happen until at least 2025.
Kuo's insights have gained credibility over the years, making his predictions worth considering. He highlights that Apple has lowered its 2024 iPhone component shipments by 15%, potentially leading to the most significant decline among major global mobile phone brands in that year. This shift can be attributed to the emergence of a new trend in high-end mobile phone design.
