You can’t even try out the new functions, the promise of Apple Intelligence announced at this year’s WWDC is already there skyrocketed the price of Apple’s shares, which on Monday started the day with a 2.5% increase after Morgan Stanley’s positive analysis of the situation. Apple thus once again became the most valuable company in the world – with a market capitalization of 3.6 trillion dollars.
However, the company – as is usually the case with the Cupertino company – only got on the AI train with a slight phase delay compared to its rivals, and until WWDC in June, only tentative promises were made by the company management regarding artificial intelligence-based developments.
Hello, this year’s SYSADMINDAY is here!
This year, we will also organize the domestic Sysadminday at an outdoor location. After busy months, this is a good opportunity to meet friends and colleagues.
However, according to analysts’ expectations, the solution package named Apple Intelligence, announced in June, will be able to seriously kick iPhone sales thanks to the AI hype, since a significant part of the new components only work on less than ten percent of the 1.3 billion iPhones currently in use.
Mark Gurman, Bloomberg’s always well-informed specialist journalist, first spoke about this at the end of May, according to whom the new functions coming with iOS 18 will only run locally on iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max or devices with a faster processor.
The A17 Pro chip in the two current Pro models contains a sufficiently high-performance (officially 35 TOPS) NPU, as well as 8 GB of system memory instead of 6, and the new 16 series arriving this year will certainly also be equipped with a system processor that the minimum system requirements are met.
According to analysts, all of this can significantly boost iPhone sales, and the volume of sales may thus approach the magical psychological limit of half a billion units in the next two years.
The turnover of iPhones recently jumped significantly thanks to a similar market hype. After the launch of the first 5G iPhone, the iPhone 12, in 2021, according to some estimates, around 240 million iPhones were sold, which is still a record in the history of the product line.
