At the heart of the new iPhone 16 Pro series is Apple Intelligence. This new system uses Apple-built generative models to understand personal context and provide helpful, relevant intelligence while ensuring user privacy. According to Greg Joswiak, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing, “iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are the most advanced iPhone models we’ve ever made.” This includes new capabilities like systemwide writing tools and advanced Siri functions.
