Apple Intelligence
Built for
Apple Intelligence
Available now in English1
iPhone 16 is built for Apple Intelligence, the personal intelligence system that helps you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly. With groundbreaking privacy protections, it gives you peace of mind that no one else can access your data — not even Apple.
- Boost your productivity
- Express yourself visually
- A new era for Siri
Explore new tools that help you write, focus, and communicate.
Create fun, original images that are truly personal to you.
With all-new superpowers, Siri will be able to assist you like never before.
Great powers come with great privacy.
Apple Intelligence is designed to protect your privacy at every step. It’s integrated into the core of iPhone through on-device processing. So it’s aware of your personal information without collecting your personal information.
And with groundbreaking Private Cloud Compute, Apple Intelligence can draw on larger Apple-designed server-based models, running on Apple silicon, to handle more complex requests for you while protecting your privacy.
Safety.
In an emergency,
iPhone has your back.
Crash Detection uses hardware sensors and advanced motion algorithms to detect a severe car crash, then call emergency services and notify your emergency contacts when you can’t.
Designed to make a difference.
Environment
All Apple data centers run on 100% renewable electricity.
iPhone 16 uses more recycled metals than ever:
over 95% recycled lithium in the battery.8 100% recycled gold in the plating of the USB-C connector and camera wires. 100% recycled copper foil in the MagSafe inductive charger.
Privacy
The new Passwords app makes it even easier to access account passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, two-factor authentication codes, and more. It stores them securely and syncs across your devices with end-to-end encryption.
You can also control which contacts to share with an app, rather than giving it access to all your contacts. And you can choose to share more contacts over time.
Apple Intelligence protects your privacy at every step. With on-device processing and Private Cloud Compute, no one but you can access your data — not even Apple.
Accessibility
Eye Tracking makes it possible to navigate your iPhone and use your favorite apps just by moving your eyes, thanks to the power of machine learning and the front-facing camera.
Music Haptics matches the iPhone Taptic Engine with the rhythm of songs. So people who are deaf or hard of hearing can enjoy the Apple Music catalog in a whole new way.
Vocal Shortcuts helps people with severe atypical speech record sounds that trigger specific actions on iPhone — set a timer, take a screenshot, scroll up and down, and more.
Significant others.
With iPhone Mirroring, you can view your iPhone screen on your Mac and control it without picking up your phone. Continuity features also let you answer calls or messages right from your Mac. You can even copy images, video, or text from your iPhone and paste it all into a different app on your Mac. And with iCloud, you can access your files from either device.
