Apple Keynote: Why AI’s Future Is Especially Bright – And Profitable

Earlier this afternoon, Apple (AAPL) unveiled its latest iPhone model to the world. Though, for its part, the world was largely unimpressed. And Apple stock dropped more than 1% after the iPhone 16’s debut. 

But while Wall Street wasn’t roused by these latest developments, we were. In fact, we think today’s announcement sets the stage for a massive boom in certain AI stocks over the next few months. 

That’s because it confirmed that Apple Intelligence – a truly capable and useful AI – will soon be in the very palms of our hands. And we think this new AI has the potential to fundamentally reshape the world. 

That is, given the iPhone’s global proliferation, we think Apple Intelligence will serve as an “on-ramp,” allowing most folks to incorporate AI into their everyday lives on a brand-new level. 

Just look at some of the things Apple teased about this breakthrough.

Apple ‘Glowtime’: What Stood Out 

Let’s start with the basics: hardware.

At the iPhone 16’s core is Apple’s new A18 chip, a significant leap from the A16 Bionic. The A18 offers 17% more system memory bandwidth. Not to mention, it’s up to 30% faster than the iPhone 15’s CPU and 60% faster than the iPhone 12’s, all while being more energy-efficient.

This powerful chip is one of the driving forces behind Apple Intelligence (which will be available in full later this year.) The AI integrates writing tools throughout iOS, with the capability to rewrite notes, adjust message tones, even create new emoji by merely typing a description.

Additionally, it seems that Apple Intelligence will make Siri… you know… actually useful. Siri will now leverage Apple Intelligence to take hundreds of new actions in users’ apps. Not to mention, this AI system will help Siri to be more natural and contextually relevant, able to understand richer language, and provide step-by-step guidance. For instance, thanks to this upgrade, “you can say, ‘send Erica the photos from Saturday’s barbecue,’ and Siri will find the photos and send them.”

There’s also Apple’s new Visual Intelligence. iPhone users will be able to instantly learn about their surroundings, just by pointing their phone at objects or scenes. Visual Intelligence can provide information about restaurants, events, objects, and more – all while maintaining privacy. That’s because Apple’s AI system uses on-device processing and private cloud computing to maintain security.

These are all intriguing and useful features. I know I’ll use Apple Intelligence to find new music, write emails, catch up on the news, and make fun emojis to send to my friends. 

I bet you will, too. And so will hundreds of millions of people across the globe. 

To that end, Apple Intelligence could set everyone on the path to AI.
