I’m starting to get really worried about Apple Intelligence on the iPhone 16
I'm now on my third day of owning an iPhone 16, but I still haven't even taken it out of the box.
As I said previously, I went with the iPhone 16 Plus this year. I had plenty of reasons to upgrade from my iPhone 14 Pro. Apple Intelligence, the Camera Control button, the larger screen, and the better battery life are among the top upgrades. But with Apple Intelligence largely unavailable, I found little reason to get excited about setting up the iPhone 16 Plus. Once I'm done restoring all my data and setting it up, there won't be any surprises waiting for me, or even any exciting new features. I've already been running iOS 18 on my iPhone 14 Pro, and I'm plenty familiar with the experience and the painful lack of AI.
I'm also aware that iOS 18.1 will not bring the entire suite of Apple Intelligence features Apple has demoed at WWDC. It'll be a staggered rollout, as Apple is so far behind the competition that it needs more time to finish building all the AI features it promised. And forget about the smarter Siri because that won't be available until sometime next year.
But when iOS 18.1 is finally released, it won't do anything for me. I'm a European iPhone 16 owner. That means I can't get Apple Intelligence when the US and other international markets receive it. And, following Apple's most recent move, I'm worried I'll have to wait even longer than I was expecting.
