The iPhone 16 will be one big "it's coming later" sell
Apple is about to launch the iPhone 16 on September 9 and this announcement is meant to be a pivotal point for the company, marking the first iPhone in history to truly adopt the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and use it as a foundation for the iOS user experience.
