- Apple Intelligence delays may slow iPhone 16 adoption
- Key features expected in 2025
- Hardware upgrades outpace AI software readiness
AI Dreams Meet Reality
Apple’s ambitious AI plans, unveiled at WWDC in June, sparked excitement among analysts who predicted a potential iPhone 16 “supercycle.”
However, the slow rollout of Apple Intelligence features could dampen these lofty expectations. The tech giant’s cautious approach to AI implementation may impact the highly anticipated iPhone 16 launch.
Promises vs. Delivery
Apple’s vision for AI focuses on enhancing user experiences through small, targeted models. This approach contrasts sharply with the massive systems powering competitors like Google Gemini and ChatGPT. Despite impressive
WWDC demos, many key Apple Intelligence features aren’t expected until 2025. Regional limitations in crucial markets like the EU and China further complicate the rollout.
Hardware Readiness Outpaces Software
Tomorrow’s “It’s Glowtime” event is set to showcase the iPhone 16 lineup, likely featuring uniform A18 chip upgrades across all models.
However, Apple Intelligence compatibility remains limited to the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max. This disconnect between hardware capabilities and software readiness could influence consumer upgrade decisions.
