The Apple Event that took place this morning clearly shows that Apple wants to market the iPhone 16 as an AI device. Again with the physical Camera Control button which is not only the camera shutter button but also the search button with the camera using AI that is Visual Intelligence.
Visual Intelligence is seen as Apple's answer to the Android feature, Google Circle to Search. Without having to touch the screen, the user only needs to press and hold this button for the iPhone 16 camera to see objects or the environment and provide the user with additional information. For example, point to a restaurant and it will display operating hours as well as user opinions. If pointed at an animal, it will tell the type and breed and more.
Apple Visual Intelligence is also said to be able to be integrated with third-party AI models. This feature will only be offered at the end of next year. Visual Intelligence and the Camera Control button also prove that the world does not need physical AI devices such as Rabbit R1 or Humane AI Pin because smartphones can already be physical AI devices.
