The users Apple they always have an ear attentive to the rumors circulating on the web. It’s been rumored for a while now that Siri is set to get an overhaul next year. This project would be the result of Apple’s desire to expand AI features within devices.
Some professional leakers have anticipated that this objective from the Cupertino giant could also involve some changes to the hardware.
The rumors speak of a change that will affect all models of the next line-up iPhone 16scheduled for autumn 2024. It’s probably early to talk about it but the rumors now seem to be quite certain.
iPhone 16, new microphones ready to better implement Siri and dictation
Apple’s next smartphones will likely feature new hardware that will integrate updated components. Among these, here is a new one microphone significantly improved. The new microphones will better pick up the user’s voice, thus helping to improve the accuracy of the dictation and Siri voice commands.
The so-called signal-to-noise ratio will be significantly improved. It is therefore clear that dictation algorithms work better when the incoming audio signal is clearer and with as little interference as possible.
According to rumors, the new microphones will also have better sound water resistance. Outside of the benefits related to artificial intelligence, the use of a new, more powerful microphone could also significantly improve the experience of iPhone users regarding some obvious aspects. In fact, clearer audio can be recorded in videos using the Camera app, but calls would also benefit.
Those most knowledgeable about this novelty speak of AAC e Goertek such as the companies designated for the production and licensing of the new component to Apple. The improved specifications, however, could see a doubled cost, which however should not particularly influence the price of the new iPhones.
