Apple iPhone 16 Launch Scheduled for September Amid Delay of Exciting New AI Features

Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

The latest mobile phone Apple, iPhone 16, is rumored to launch on schedule next September. However, the release of the Apple Intelligence feature is planned to be postponed.

This leak was confirmed by Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg analyst who said that Apple Intelligence or Apple’s new artificial intelligence (AI) feature will launch in October. However, Apple will not delay the launch of its latest mobile phone model, the iPhone 16 series.

Last week, Apple Intelligence was pushed to iOS 18.1, so the feature set was not available in the first release of iOS 18 in September.

Apple Intelligence is expected to play a big role in making the upcoming iPhone 16 models more attractive to customers, especially since only the iPhone 15 Pro models and above support to these features now.

Gurman said that delays in the main features of the iPhone 16 were a problem when the iPhone 16 was launched, but it does not seem that Apple is delaying the launch of the hardware.

“This time, Apple is taking a different approach and won’t hold back new hardware until the service is ready. I’m told the iPhone launch will coincide with last year – looking at the calendar, September 10 is the correct date – and users should get the new hardware will upgrade to iOS 18.1 in October so they can use Apple Intelligence,” said Gurman, who was quoted from 9 to 5 sons.

Apple Intelligence was launched in beta last week with some original features, such as Writing Tools and Memory Generation in Photos. The new Siri interface has also been launched, although most of the Siri improvements and ChatGPT integration are not yet available.

Then, other big features like Genmoji and Image Playground are also missing in the beta version.

“While Apple’s Intelligence features will likely be a huge improvement for consumers, I agree that there is no need to stop the phone,” Gurman said.

According to him, the all-new Siri will also not be available until the iOS 18 update next spring. The new Siri, he said, is likely to be of interest to most users.
