"Apple is currently using LLM to completely revamp Siri into the ultimate virtual assistant and is preparing to develop it into Apple's most powerful killer AI app," the tipser said.

Kuo said that the microphone upgrade will affect all iPhone 16 models, including the entry-level iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, and the iPhone 16 Pro variants.

However, don't expect Apple to use the word "AI" when it debuts the new Siri. Despite
AI underpinning many features that Apple debuted at WWDC 2023, including improved iOS autocorrect and 3D avatars for Apple Vision Pro, the Cupertino-based tech giant avoided the word like the plague, opting for "machine learning" instead.

But some would argue that "machine learning" is the more accurate term, anyway.

As always, keep in mind that these are just rumors, so keep your grain of salt handy. However, I'm still looking forward to AI — er, I mean — "machine learning-powered Siri."
