Apple has launched the iPhone 16 series, featuring hardware upgrades such as the A18 chip and improved battery life, alongside new AI capabilities dubbed 'Apple Intelligence.' The iPhone 16 series includes a Camera Control button and promises faster charging speeds of up to 45W, although practical usage may limit it to 39W. Despite these enhancements, many consumers are reluctant to upgrade, citing the strong performance and condition of their existing iPhones, as well as financial considerations. Pre-orders for the new models began on September 13, with a global release scheduled for September 20. Reviews and hands-on tests reveal mixed reactions, especially regarding the incomplete rollout of AI features, which are expected to be updated progressively.
