The upcoming iPhone 16 is set to miss the initial rollout of Apple\u2019s AI features \u2014 Apple Intelligence.<\/strong><\/p>\n This news<\/a> from Bloomberg\u2019s Mark Gurman comes just hours before the new iPhone launch event. The report points out that Apple’s AI-powered Image Playground app and the Genmoji feature, which allows users to generate emojis from text prompts, will not be included in the first iOS 18.1 update scheduled for October. Instead, these more advanced AI capabilities are not expected to arrive until the iOS 18.2<\/a> update, which is slated for release in December.<\/p>\n The decision to stagger the rollout of these AI features is reportedly driven by concerns over their reliability and stability. Apple is said to be taking additional time to ensure the technology is “fully baked” before releasing it to consumers.<\/p>\n This phased approach to delivering Apple Intelligence could tone down the excitement typically associated with new iPhone launches, as users may have to wait several months to access the full range of promised AI enhancements.<\/p>\n Gurman also hints that Apple Intelligence may face additional delays in reaching certain markets, such as the European Union and China, due to regulatory hurdles.<\/p>\n
