Although the iPhone 16 promises impressive innovations, including the integration of artificial intelligence and a new improved display, not all users are ready to upgrade. Here are 4 reasons why users may abandon the iPhone 16 Pro:

1. The uncertainty of launching Apple Intelligence

Those who expect new AI capabilities from the iPhone 16 may be disappointed. It needs to be clarified if the Apple Intelligence features will appear immediately after the launch of the latest iPhone series. It is known that Apple Intelligence will be available with the iOS 18.1 update, but the specific dates of its release have yet to be specified.

2. Device performance issues

Much is still being determined on how the Apple Intelligence features will work on the iPhone 15 Pro, ProMax, and the new iPhone 16 lineup. As Apple actively promotes user data protection policies, saying that most AI ​​functions will work directly on the device, the question is how much this will affect the smartphone's performance. Apple Intelligence requires 8 GB of RAM and an A17 or M1 processor. The iPhone 16 series is expected to have an A18 Bionic chip and 8-12 GB of RAM, depending on the model.

3. Minor changes in iPhone 16

Even when they become available, the iPhone 16's Apple Intelligence features will likely exceed the capabilities of already existing AI tools, such as ChatGPT with GPT-4. Many of these tools already perform the tasks that Apple Intelligence promises.

4. The higher price of the iPhone 16 Pro

The base models of the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are expected to keep the previous price of $799. However, the Pro models are rumored to push the starting price to $1,099.

Of course, Apple may be surprised at the presentation on September 9, but at the moment, many iPhone 14 ProMax users still need to see a good reason to spend more than $ 1,000 on a new device with a minor update.
