Apple has typically unveiled its new iPhone lineup. In addition, it features its version of iOS, in September. This year, there were concerns about the release timing. This was due to reports indicating that Apple’s AI features in iOS 18, referred to as Apple Intelligence, might not be ready. Despite Apple’s usual secrecy, a recent report has provided some clarity on the situation.
According to journalist Mark Gurman, Apple will not hold back the launch of the iPhone 16 series. In addition, this is due to the unpreparedness of the new AI software features. Instead, the company may introduce these features in subsequent updates in October.
Expected Launch Date
The company may introduce the iPhone 16 series around the same time as its predecessor. In addition, it may be possibly on September 10.
Apple has previously postponed iPhone launches. It is due to incomplete software features. For instance, Apple delayed the June launch of the iPhone 4s due to the lack of Siri and iCloud compatibility.

The new Apple Intelligence (AI) features in iOS 18.1 will be ready for release around October. Notably, Apple recently released the iOS 18.1 developer beta. As a result, it offers a preview of some of these new AI features.
