But China is a massive market for many major companies. The iPhone 16, though a highly improved video camera, simply doesn’t provide enough hardware improvements to warrant an upgrade.
If China isn’t getting AI at launch, and the EU isn’t getting it either and the AI features keep getting delayed again and again, why would people care about the iPhone 16?

Perhaps much more interesting than the iPhone 16 is the alleged new iPhone SE coming out early next year. It’s finally getting a modern look, better specs, a better display and will also support Apple Intelligence.
The EU, though it’s not getting Apple’s AI, will have third party app stores, third party NFC payments and a few other differences to its counterparts. So this means there’s going to be at least three different versions of the iPhone 16 entering the market unless Tim Cook really pulls a fast one on us tomorrow.
As it stands though, you should probably just wait for the iPhone 17. Especially because of the rumored iPhone Air.
