Apple Intelligence launch delayed

The premiere of the new version of iOS is the biggest change to Apple’s flagship product this year. Apple Intelligence Beta is to be made available this fall as part of one of the system updates. The new software is to change its appearance and operation. The user interface will be largely modifiable to suit individual needs and tastes.

Apps that are updated or redesigned will also gain a new form. This applies to communication apps, for example – the quality of shared photos is to increase, and typing cursor indicators will be improved. The update applies to all devices that have hit the market since 2018.

Other changes? Users will be able to move icons on the home screen – this is where flexibility is to be greatly increased. It will also be possible to change the view of icons – for example, the color and transform them into a “dark mode”. There will also be a special app for saving and generating strong passwords.

Poor iPhone 16 sales

The postponement of the launch of Apple Intelligence is not the only concern for people associated with the company. Demand for the iPhone 16 smartphone turns out to be much weaker than expected – CNBC reports in another article. This is probably related to the aforementioned delay in the Apple Intelligence launch. Sales of the latest smartphone model of the Cupertino-based company fell by 12 percent year-on-year compared to the first weekend of iPhone 15 sales. Another reason for weaker demand is strong competition from Chinese manufacturers. Its decline may also be affected by long delivery times in the case of iPhone Pro models.

The new iPhones will also have a hard time in China. Among other things, due to poor retail sales in the country, strong competition from Chinese companies and the late launch of Apple Intelligence in Chinese.

Models equipped with 512 GB of memory are a much bigger expense – PLN 5,499. The cheapest model iPhone 16 Plus (i.e. with a larger screen) costs PLN 4,499.

Much less will be available in Poland iPhone 16 Pro Max. In the version with 256 GB of memory, it costs around PLN 6,299, while the model with 1 TB of memory is an astronomical expense of 8299 PLN.
