Apple has announced its iPhone 16 lineup These include a new A18 chip, camera controls, a larger display on the Pro model, and Apple Intelligence Surprisingly, however, many of the new features will not be available when the iPhone 16 officially hits store shelves on September 20
We have compiled a list of all the features that will need to wait for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models to arrive
Apple has been hyping Apple Intelligence since the WWDC event in June This Apple-style AI is supposed to be included in all iPhone 16 devices, as well as the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, but not immediately
Exploratory iPhone owners have been able to play with some AI features in a developer beta since June, and a public beta was released in July
However, those who have been waiting will still have to wait, as the Apple Intelligence features will not be available on the iPhone 16, which goes on sale next Friday
According to a report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman before Apple's Glowtime event, the AI feature could be rolled out gradually over the next year
Apple Intelligence will still be in beta when iOS 181 launches in October Some AI features should be coming, including notification summary, email summary, and cleanup tools
Other AI-powered features like Genmojis are not expected until December, when iOS 182 is supposed to launch
There are still more AI features not mentioned above, such as Image Wand, Smart Reply, and the search update for the Photos app These will be spread across 181 and 182 updates and will last until 2025
One of the big new features of the iPhone 16 is the addition of a new button called Camera Control
Camera Control allows users to change photo settings and modes, including zoom, by swiping the button Pressing the button takes a photo
One of the announced features, however, is a two-stage shutter This feature allows the user to lock focus and exposure with a light button press When ready, the user can press the button to take the picture
According to Apple, this feature will be available “later this year Unfortunately, they have not provided a more specific date
Apple's Siri voice assistant is likely to see the most rocky launch of the AI-enhanced features the company has announced
In fact, we may not see a full Siri update until spring 2025 Nevertheless, Siri will likely see an update between October and then However, it is unclear which parts of Siri will be upgraded during that longer period
Gurman reports that Siri 20 will launch in beta next January
When the iPhone 16 launches, it will have the version of Siri that currently exists
Visual Intelligence is Apple's take on Google Lens and uses the phone's camera to learn about places and objects seen through the lens
Within the camera app, you will be able to see the hours of operation and ratings of nearby restaurants or hold camera controls to identify dogs by breed Perhaps scanning a flyer, for example, will add an event to your calendar
Google Search and GhatGPT will be utilized at launch
It is an impressive feature and could be an excellent tool for travel; for example, it could help translate signs in other languages
Apple claims that Visual Intelligence will be integrated with any app or service that runs on the iPhone
Apple only says “later this year,” so we don't know when it will be included on the iPhone 16
When people get their hands on the new iPhone 16 model, it offers a lot with a powerful new chip, and the capture button (even though it lacks some features) seems like a game changer for photography
But if you're excited about the Apple intelligence of a phone built “from the ground up for AI,” you'll have to wait
