No. If you got a problem, you're going to need a lawyer who thinks they can get a big settlement thus work for free for a sizable chunk of the settlement on the backend.

It is customers like yourself that enable companies to ship incomplete software with promissory notes for features with no deadline.
No, you cannot return it. You will get upgraded software when it is released with a software update sometime in the future.
Don’t buy something that isn’t ready. It blows my mind that people buy **** just to buy ****.
Major slippage like this is always the customers fault. People need to put their wallets away until these situations end.

I have to agree with something that tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee often says: never buy a device based on what it's promised to be able to do later.
Where have we learned this lesson before oh pre-ordering video games you’re paying for an incomplete product why should they finish?
Surely you have read the whole license agreement before buying the iPhone…
iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 Software License Agreement mentions:
“The Apple Software Changes, if any, may not necessarily include all existing software features or new features that Apple releases for newer or other models of Devices.”
I'm not an attorney, but expect a class action law suit. They promised something that they didn't have and now have taken it back (sort of). False advertising.
They said it would come later - they didn't specify a date. The phone ships with Apple Intellegence ready to use, features can be withdrawn or added at their descretion.
As mentioned above your reply it states: “The Apple Software Changes, if any, may not necessarily include all existing software features or new features that Apple releases for newer or other models of Devices.”
Apple can do whatever they want with their software.

Do you actually think Steve didn’t spend lots of money on prototypes that never came to fruition?
It's not though is it?! What did they advertise and not deliver? Where have they stated new features were due with the device that weren't on it at launch?
It was sold with the title of "Built for Apple Intelligence" meaning it is future proof for WHEN they have more features available to add. It has Apple Intellegence already on the device and working, it may not be as good as people expected or wanted, but it is there.
Everything listed on the product page in relation to A.I it can do... https://www.apple.com/uk/iphone-16e/
The 16s were sold as "built for AI", not "built for improved Siri by first quarter 2025", and they have received AI features.
Apple shareholders probably think that. Tim probably thinks that. Anyone who knows false advertising recognizes exactly what Apple did. People should be fired. Cook should resign.
Absolutely not. Did Steve ever do anything like Tim? No. Steve was a visionary.
The 16s have AI features, and Apple said the rest are coming.
The Internet - I dont care about Apple Intelligence!
Also the Internet - AI features are taking too long! *rabble rabble*
You're probably still upset about AirPower being cancelled.

No one will be fired, and Tim Cook certainly won't be resigning and why should he? He's lead Apple to the trillion dollar company they are today. Apple Intellegence was advertised, and was delivered. No false advertising.
Steve Jobs was not without fault, don't try to make out he could do no wrong. He also hand picked Tim Cook and told him to run the company HIS way, which is what he has done.
It's only false advertising if it isn't delivered, which it has been, and will be improved over time. It's delayed, people are going on like it's been cancelled!
Guy, major announcement, sorry, It was all my fault that Siri got delayed…
Sorry about that. ☹️
I didn’t know those existed. Slightly before my time. Last ‘upgradable’ Mac of mine was a mid 2012 MBP
Just wait until Apple eventually says the more advanced Siri features you bought the 16 for will require a 17 with 12GB ram.
Exactly. I recently bought a 16 Pro. I bought it for all the useful features I wanted, not Apple Intelligence. I knew it as a new, developing technology and thought at least I have a compatible device when it comes. So in the end I am happy because I got what I expected. So simple.
