Google has finally unravelled the most-awaited Pixel 9 series, now users are anticipating the launch of the forthcoming iPhone 16, which is expected in September. Apple can take pointers from Pixel 9 for the enhancement of iPhone 15.

Here’s a glimpse of what Apple should integrate from the Alphabet-owned tech giant's latest releases to become the best phone released this year. 

However, leaks provide a clear painting of what's coming in the upcoming flagship and they suggest its peculiar qualities, but still, there’s a lot to add to develop the best iPhone experience.

Similar chipsets in all variants

Google has integrated a similar chipset, the Tensor G4 chip, which is the fastest and most efficient chip, working hand and hand with Google Deepmind. 

However, the iPhone 16 is tipped to house an A17 Pro chip in all the standard models while, according to another speculation, it is likely to equip a more robust A18 chip with the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max

Enhanced charging threshold

iOS is a high-end phone that always comes with significantly enhanced capabilities every year except for improved charging. It has experienced an exponential drop in the charging threshold up to 20W, leading to user's disappointment.

To Alphabet-owned Google’s credit, it expanded the flagship Pixel 9 Pro XL charging threshold to 37W, which is a relatively greater speed up from the 30W speed of its predecessor.

Integrate Apple Intelligence features in the entire iPhone 16 series

Google has integrated Gemini Nano in the entire Pixel 9 series, either its Pixel screenshot that analyses the content of the image, which is fastly designed with Gemini multimodality or its Pixel Studio that instantly provides you with the image according to your preferred style.

Additionally, its camera is the world's first artificial intelligence (AI) powered camera that delivers new pixel-exclusive features, and more. 

The Cupertino-based tech giant could also take the same approach with its forthcoming lineup. At this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), it officially announced the devices that would support Apple Intelligence. 

The iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max were part of that list, so the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are likely to get it; however, there are no speculations about the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.
