Apple Launches iPhone 16 with AI Features

The recent launch of the iPhone 16 highlights the introduction of 'Apple Intelligence', an AI technology aimed at enhancing user experience, particularly on the iPhone 15 Pro models. This technology promises features like personalized image creation and intelligent content summarization but will not be fully operational until its rollout in October. While the iPhone 16 retains a similar design to its predecessor, it introduces a new camera control button and is powered by the A18 Pro chip to support its AI initiatives. Furthermore, many existing iPhone users are holding onto their devices longer, with over 34% using phones for three years or more, raising questions about the urgency of upgrades. Apple's reliance on installment payments may contribute to this trend, yet the new AI features are expected to boost iPhone 16 sales, with production increased by 10%. Additionally, AI is increasingly being integrated into smartphones to enhance accessibility, exemplified by tools like Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, which provide real-time descriptions of surroundings for visually impaired users.
