In a departure from its 2011 strategy, Apple will reportedly release the iPhone 16 in September, even if the core feature, Apple Intelligence, won't be ready until October. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman pointed out in his weekly Power On newsletter how this decision contrasts with the company's previous approach when it delayed the iPhone 4S launch to coincide with the release of iCloud and Siri.

Apple's highly anticipated AI features, collectively known as Apple Intelligence, will not be included in the upcoming iPhone launch in September. According to multiple sources, the tech giant plans to release the AI capabilities through a software update in October.
While Apple is set to introduce Apple Intelligence to developers this week with the iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1 betas, the service will be exclusive to devices equipped with the A17 and M series chips.

Apple's upcoming iPhone 16 series is set to deliver longer battery life, thanks to a significant battery upgrade. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the tech giant is increasing battery energy density while ensuring safety by enclosing the cells in a stainless steel casing. The increased battery density—expected to be around 5-10%—will primarily benefit the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
This design change not only enhances battery life but also simplifies replacement, aligning with the EU's upcoming repair regulations. With the EU's mandate for user-replaceable smartphone batteries looming in 2025, the industry is undergoing a transformation. Apple's rumoured move to a stainless steel battery case is a proactive step towards meeting these regulations while enhancing user experience.
