The scope of your iPhone’s AI-Powered features
Most of your iPhone features that make your life easier are powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Since the launch of the iOS 10, Apple has been pushing updates in order to enable iPhones to “think differently”. Your iPhone can think on your behalf by understanding where you are, what you’re up to, and what you need to know, in order to help you save time and reduce stress.

Apple was the first manufacturer to integrate AI in its products with the launch of Siri in July 2014. The initial version of the smart assistant was fraught with imperfections. But over the years, Apple has made great strides in perfecting the technology, leveraging Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning Neural Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks, Gated Recurrent Units, and other technologies.
However, Apple has remained tight-lipped on the real nature of these enhancements, disclosing just the bare minimum. As such, many iPhone users are hardly aware of the extent to which AI enables features in their phones.
You might be aware of AI-powered Siri features such as suggestions to call your loved ones on their birthdays, suggestions to start a playlist when you’re at the gym, suggestions to turn on the Do Not Disturb feature, etc.
However, there’s a good chance you’re unaware of other AI-powered features your iPhone uses.
9 AI-powered features of iPhones you’re probably unaware of
A screen that lights up automatically when you lift the phone: iPhone users don’t need to press any button bring their phones to life. iPhones now come with an AI-powered accelerometer which detects movements when you pick up your phone to operate it, waking up the screen automatically. The feature also detects when you put the phone down, dimming the screen light accordingly.
AI-powered task sequences: The new Siri Shortcuts app automates a series of tasks that you string together, and creates a routine which can be activated with touch or voice commands. For instance, you can set a voice command like ‘Waking up’ to trigger a series of actions such as launching the news app, turning on the bathroom’s water heater, etc.
Route suggestions on the Maps app: The Map app is powered by AI to help you negotiate your way around traffic jams during your commute. The app also saves information on your regular routes and will suggest those to you. It also scours through your calendar to prepare directions to meeting venues ahead of time.
Automated text responses: Your text conversations can be guided by your iPhone’s AI-powered texting features. These features can send texts automatically to people you’ve booked an appointment with when you’re running late for meetings, suggest a favorable slot on your calendar to book new meetings, and more.

The Photo app’s facial recognition feature: This new feature enables your Photo app to recognize and group photographs of people – for instance, photos of your loved ones, work colleagues, role models, etc. This feature was first released on Apple’s Mac computers. However, it differs from that of the Mac in that it processes photographs locally on the phone, rather than on the cloud, hence allowing for more security and privacy. In addition, the Photo app comes with a new ‘For You’ tab that prompts you to share photographs taken with others, and also suggests to others that they should share their own photographs with you after they receive yours.
Voicemail transcription: Your iPhone can now transcribe your voicemails and automatically save them as texts. This gives you the option of scanning through the written copy of voicemails, in case you find that more convenient than listening to the messages.
Third-party AI-powered features: Apple has released developer tools that allow third-party software developers to integrate Siri suggestions within their apps. With this integration, Siri will note down activities performed by users on various apps, and generate suggestions concerning the use of these third-party apps in the future. Users themselves can ask Siri to bring up such suggestions automatically at any point in time by using the “Add to Siri” buttons found in those apps.
Automated creation of video footage highlights: The new Memories app compiles video snippets and photos of events such as birthday parties, into a highlight video. It uses facial recognition and machine learning to identify and compile snippets and photos that only feature people who are important to you. It also allows you to modify the videos by making them longer or shorter, or by emphasizing particular moments or actions.
The new News App that automatically groups stories: This new automation feature sorts news articles into different groups to allow you easy access to what you’d consider to be most important.
Conclusion
Artificial Intelligence is behind the many automated features of your iPhone. The technology has molded your handset into a virtual assistant of some sort, setting reminders and schedules, and making suggestions even without your request. With frequent updates to your iOS from Apple, your iPhone becomes even smarter, making the interaction between you and your handset more beneficial than having a simple communication device.

Battery life on the iPhone 14 is a bit of a mystery right now, but there are some little tidbits of information sprinkled here and there that help paint a picture of what we can expect from. Not to mention that the iPhone 13 series came with a greatly improved battery life, so there is already a solid base for the new generation to build upon.Even if this isn't AKIDA, APPLE is a given in my book (along with a plethora of others, so take with a few grains of salt) My speculative view is based on a few things but mostly based on the amount of post liking by BRN staff on apple posts on LinkedIn, so highly speculative but also highly likely imo.......
Not advice DYOR
I'll try to find some of the nuggets and post them
iPhone battery capacity | iPhone 13 | iPhone 12 | % difference |
---|---|---|---|
iPhone mini battery capacity | 2,406 mAh | 2,227 mAh | +9% |
iPhone battery capacity | 3,227 mAh | 2,815 mAh | +15% |
iPhone Pro battery capacity | 3,095 mAh | 2,815 mAh | +11% |
iPhone Pro Max battery capacity | 4,352 mAh | 3,687 mAh | +19% |

Constant 5G connectivity not looking good.Battery life on the iPhone 14 is a bit of a mystery right now, but there are some little tidbits of information sprinkled here and there that help paint a picture of what we can expect from. Not to mention that the iPhone 13 series came with a greatly improved battery life, so there is already a solid base for the new generation to build upon.
With the announcement of the iPhone 14 series nearing slowly but surely, both the battery life and charging times are some of the specs that are the most on people's minds. As we recently found out in one of our polls, that it is the most important spec in a phone for our core readers.
Although battery life information for the new iPhone 14 is scarce at this point, we have tried to answer all questions that may be of interest.
Will the iPhone 14 have better battery life?
For now, the short answer here is—maybe. A few months ago a report by Taiwan’s Economic Daily News stated that the iPhone 14 will come with a brand new 5G chip from TSMC inside with support for Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. More importantly, this new chip is built on the 6nm process, which makes it smaller and more power-efficient.
With the new 5G chip, Apple may very well make it so that the iPhone 14 lasts even longer than the iPhone 13 series, be it by having space to place a larger battery, the chip’s lower power consumption, or both. However, that depends on whether that extra battery life is used for something else, like constant 5G connectivity for example.
Apart from the new rumored 5G chip, there is not much else to go on when it comes to the iPhone 14’s battery life. Be sure to check this article again in the future as we will be updating it with the latest information on the topic.
How much battery will the iPhone 14 have?
Currently, there is no information on the battery size for any of the expected iPhone 14 models. That being said, the new 5G chip could result in a slightly larger one.
We can at least take a look at the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 series’ battery sizes to get an idea of what improvements we can hope for:
iPhone battery capacity iPhone 13 iPhone 12 % difference iPhone mini battery capacity 2,406 mAh 2,227 mAh +9% iPhone battery capacity 3,227 mAh 2,815 mAh +15% iPhone Pro battery capacity 3,095 mAh 2,815 mAh +11% iPhone Pro Max battery capacity 4,352 mAh 3,687 mAh +19% Will iPhone 14 use USB-C?
A ruling by the European Commission that aims to combat e-waste is trying to push for a common charging port for all phones in the EU, i.e. USB-C. Well, just recently, the EU officially decided to enforce USB-C as the standard charging port for all mobile devices sold in Europe.
Unfortunately, however, this does not mean the iPhone 14 will come with a USB-C port, as the end date for this change is fall, 2024. In other words, Apple still has some time to make plans and prepare for the eventual transition that it has avoided for so long.
How fast will the iPhone 14 charge?
Apple is admittedly quite behind when it comes to the iPhone’s fast charging capabilities, at least compared to competitors. The iPhone 13’s maximum is 20W when charged with a cable and 15W with MagSafe wireless charging (7.5W with regular Qi chargers).
In comparison, the Galaxy S22 can charge at a maximum speed of 45W via a cable, only matching the iPhone in its 15W wireless charging.
There are no reports on whether Apple will decide to improve on this aspect with the iPhone 14 series yet, but the heat is definitely building up from competitors like Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and others.
Will iPhone 14 have reverse wireless charging?
There is no word about the iPhone 14 series featuring reverse wireless charging, however, if Apple ends up surprising us with this feature in September, it would very likely be reserved for the Pro models only.

lol The latter......................definitely the latter! lolI have mixed feelings.
Do I want the massive share price increase because you are right about Apple or do I want to avoid having to put up with your head getting so big it cuts out light from the Sun reaching Earth because you called it two calendar years ago.
What a dilemma.

M2 begins the next chapter for Apple silicon, which has transformed the Mac lineup with its blazing performance and power efficiency. The breakthrough system on a chip (SoC) architecture combines the CPU, GPU, memory, and more on a single chip so everything runs much faster — while requiring much less power.
M2 is built using an enhanced second-generation 5-nanometer technology. It features over 20 billion transistors — 25 percent more than M1. And its 16-core Neural Engine is capable of executing up to 15.8 trillion operations per second to accelerate machine learning tasks. Up to 24GB of high-performance unified memory gives the CPU and GPU shared access to a larger memory pool. And the 100GB/s memory bandwidth — 50 percent more than M1 — makes multitasking and running multiple apps superfluid.
