iPhone 16 Still Coming in September Despite Delayed Apple Intelligence Rollout

[svish]

Not surprised. Many of the features will be available only in 2025

This story doesn’t make any sense. The phones will have the hardware necessary for Apple Intelligence. Why would they delay the phone’s release because the software isn’t ready? Gurman should stick to just reporting rumors. He’s no good at analyzing/interpreting things.

I think the original idea most tech oriented people had was that because the AI stuff is only available on iPhone 15 pro and these newer iPhones it would be the main feature that would drive a lot of customers into upgrading from older phones and possible address Apple as iPhone sales slowdown here in the USA as it seems to be a big media story line that people are holding to their phones longer. (I just think we’re all poor, well at least I am lol)

So if that’s the perspective Gurman has then you could understand why he is highlighting the fact that it is interesting that the main draw of this new phone, this AI software stuff, is delayed while the hardware/phone isn’t and making the comparison to iCloud and Siri roll out.
