iPhone 16 series launch event is believed to take place in September. However, the delay in the roll out of the much-awaited Apple Intelligence feature forced many to anticipate a deferral in iPhone 16 launch. Many analysts believe that Apple Intelligence is the biggest feature in the iPhone 16 series and will be the key factor driving a surge in sales of the upcoming models. As Apple failed to offer the Apple Intelligence feature in the iOS 18 beta update and only a few features made to the iOS 18.1 version, it was expected that there may be a slight delay in iPhone 16 series launch as the company will likely try to include the feature in the devices out of the box. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests that the iPhone 16 series launch event will not be delayed.
