AI may not be what sells Apple’s next iPhone

Apple is expected to introduce the enhancements of its next mobile operating system and plans for generative artificial intelligence (AI) at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 7. Analysts predict that the upcoming iPhone models, likely called iPhone 16, will feature on-device AI capability, with Siri receiving a major AI upgrade. The inclusion of AI in the new iPhones is expected to drive sales, with analysts foreseeing a "multi-year upgrade cycle." Market consensus suggests a 9% increase in unit sales to 242 million for the fiscal year ending September 2025. However, the maturity of the smartphone market and longer phone replacement cycles pose challenges.

ETtech Explainer: Behind Apple’s search for Indian iCamera maker

Apple is reportedly in advanced discussions with the Murugappa Group and Tata group's Titan Company to assemble and manufacture sub-components for iPhone camera modules. Camera modules are composed of various components such as lenses, image sensors, and digital signal processing. While some components can be localized, others, like camera lenses, may be difficult to replace. Currently, Apple relies on suppliers like Sony, Samsung, and Omnivision for image sensors. The move towards localizing camera module assembly in India could potentially attract manufacturers to build a complete local value chain.
