, “Apple is rumored to delay the release of its AI intelligence, which may result in a slight decrease in the shipment volume of the iPhone 16. It is speculated that as Apple focuses more on preparing for the future rather than launching aggressive AI features in the iPhone 16, there is a high possibility of a delay.”,
,
, “On the 28th (local time), Bloomberg reported that Apple is expected to support its artificial intelligence (AI) solution, ‘Apple Intelligence,’ starting from iOS 18.1 expected to be released in October.”,
,
, “Apple has been introducing new versions of the iOS operating system for new iPhones. It is expected that the iPhone 16 series, expected to be released in September this year, will come with iOS 18. However, the highly anticipated ‘Apple Intelligence’ will not be included in this version but will be supported starting from iOS 18.1 through a software update. Most U.S. IT media outlets noted that Apple had postponed the implementation of Apple Intelligence more than expected.”,
,
, “Furthermore, new features such as Siri with integrated with GPT, which are expected to become Apple’s core AI function, may not be implemented until spring next year, rather than this year.”,
,
, “In contrast, Apple is moving at a faster pace with beta versions. Apple Intelligence is expected to be released through the iOS 18.1 beta version this week. In other words, Apple is taking this time to properly run Apple Intelligence. Especially in the delayed situation, Apple’s move to release Apple Intelligence in the beta version seems urgent.”,
,
, “It is observed that Apple’s adoption of AI solutions may also have an impact on the sales volume of the iPhone 16 this year. Ming Chi Kuo, a Taiwan-based TF International analyst well-versed in Apple news, recently reported that Apple was adjusting the speed of orders for the iPhone 16.”,
,
, “Although there were rumors that Apple increased orders for the iPhone 16 at the WWDC held in June, there has been no significant change in the orders from Taiwanese companies supplying components to Apple, such as TSMC and Largan Precision. Citing recent conference calls where TSMC explained that unit growth did not increase and Largan’s orders for high-end models this year remained similar to last year, Ming Chi estimated that the estimated shipment volume of the iPhone 16 in the second half of this year would be about 87 million units, slightly lower compared to 91 million units for the iPhone 15 last year.”,
,
, “On the other hand, it is expected that Apple Intelligence will be applied to devices based on Apple’s own chipset. Apple Intelligence is expected to be introduced from A17, which was introduced in the iPhone 15 Pro last year, onwards. This means that the base model (A16) of the iPhone 15 released last year will be excluded. In contrast, there are speculations that for the models to be released this year, both the base and pro models will be equipped with ‘A18’ influenced by Apple Intelligence, rather than a clear division of products. However, there is a high possibility that the application timing for older models may be delayed compared to the iPhone 16.”,
