hello. This is Technologytodaynow. Many of you are eagerly anticipating Apple Intelligence in the iPhone 16, which is expected to launch this fall. Recently, however, there has been some skeptical news about the iPhone 16 Apple Intelligence.
News of Apple Intelligence development delays
Apple’s AI and Apple Intelligence, which received the attention of numerous iPhone users when it was released at WWDC 24, will be released sequentially starting this summer, starting with some functions. But doubts are mounting as Apple Intelligence features continue to be left out of the iOS 18 beta. Apple Intelligence’s launch, which was expected to come with the iPhone 16 launch this fall, is expected to be delayed to around October.
Causes and expected timeline for iPhone 16 Apple Intelligence arrival delay
Bloomberg’s Mark Gorman reports that the delay of Apple Intelligence follows developers’ insistence that it be more fully tested for stability reasons. This means that Apple Intelligence on board, which was a key point of purchase for the iPhone 16, won’t be available until October.
Release plans for Siri and Apple Intelligence
And as for Siri, which is powered by user data, it’s still expected to launch in the first half of next year. Previously, Apple indicated in June that it would delay the launch of Apple Intelligence features in Europe until 2025 due to consumer protection regulations.
AI safety program participation and impact
More recently, we decided to join the Biden administration’s AI Safety Program.
The Biden Administration’s AI Safety Program is based on testing AI systems for discriminatory bias, security flaws, and national security risks, and making the results transparent to government, civil society, and academia. It also includes what needs to be reported and fixed immediately if a vulnerability is found.
Collaboration and controversy with open AI
Apple’s declaration of adherence to the AI Safety Principles came as it announced it would integrate OpenAI’s ChatGPT into Siri, the iPhone’s voice command assistant. However, the news also drew attention from Elon Musk, who said he would ban the use of Apple-related devices in his company if OpenAI’s software integrates with Apple’s Siri, citing security concerns.
Sales impact of iPhone 16
With the eventual delay of Apple Intelligence for safety reasons, there are growing concerns that it will disrupt iPhone 16 sales. It will likely take until the iPhone 17 or later for the iPhone series to become a true AI phone, so if you’re considering buying the iPhone 16 series to use Apple Intelligence, plan your purchase around the delay.
