It was only a few months ago that Apple unveiled the iPhone 15 series at its Wonderlust event in California. However, there are many rumors surrounding the iPhone 16. The iPhone 16, like other iPhone models before it, is expected to debut in September this year.

According to a recent post by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo on Medium, Apple is unlikely to make major design changes to the iPhone 16 this year. Furthermore, the company isn't expected to introduce major generative AI until at least the iPhone 17 launch in 2025 -based changes in its ecosystem.
“It is expected that Apple will not launch new iPhone models with significant design changes and the more comprehensive/differentiated GenAI ecosystem/applications until 2025 at the earliest. Until then, it will likely hurt Apple's iPhone shipment momentum and ecosystem growth,” Kuo wrote in a blog post.
Notably, previous reports have suggested that the iPhone 16 could have a similar camera design to the iPhone 12, which likely won't be a major design change and seems compatible with the usual changes Apple makes every year.
Other iPhone 16 rumors include the addition of a dedicated camera button, making it easier to take videos and photos. The iPhone 16 Pro series is also expected to have a larger display than the current generation, with the iPhone 16 likely to have a 6.3-inch display and the 16 Pro a 6.9-inch display.

Kuo's blog post noted that Apple will likely see a drop in iPhone shipments in 2024, due to increasing demand for AI and foldable smartphones. Meanwhile, Kuo added that the decline in iPhone shipments in China could be a direct result of Huawei's competition.
Samsung and Google in particular have put a lot of effort into integrating artificial intelligence-based features into their smartphones. The newly launched S24 series has many new features including live translation in many languages, Circle to Search and more.
