More people are reportedly less excited about the new Pro phones than usual.

Apple promised that Camera Control could act like a DSLRs shutter button later this year.
It can even perform Google Lens-like image searches.
All those features wont be available on release.
The cameras on both the Pro and non-Pro phones have received some minor upgrades.
In addition, theres a 12MP ultrawide that promises better macro photography.
The Pro can take video at 4K and 120 FPS, allowing some slo-mo shooting.
The new Pro has a 48MP ultrawide and a 12MP 5x telephoto sensor.
Thats improved from the 12MP ultrawide and 12MP telephoto on the iPhone 15 Pro.
Its meant to match up toPixel 9 Pro.
Is the iPhone 16 More Powerful Than the iPhone 15?
The regular A18 promises 30% better CPU performance than the last generations A16 Bionic.
The Pro chips should also see two times faster video encoding.
The A18 Pro includes a 6-core GPU for even better gaming performance.
Apple said its 20% faster than the previous-gen chip.
This new phone also supports faster hardware-accelerated ray tracing.
Both phones now have a base of 8GB of RAM, 2GB more than the iPhone 15 Pro.
When Will the iPhone 16 Get Apple Intelligence?
The iPhone 16 wont getApple Intelligenceon release Sept. 20.
With the next release, Siri will get her redesign with a new typing interface and better comprehension.
Youll need to wait until 2025 for the promised ability for Siri to understand your activities across your apps.
Image Playground, Apples AI art generator, wont come until iOS 18.2 or later.
Based on the single generated image the tech giant shared withWired, I cant say were missing much.
It can also manage Apples Writing Tools for proofreading, summarizing, or writing your college essays for you.
As it stands, ChatGPT integration is a stopgap for when Apple makes Siri better in 2025.
Essentially, all of Apple Intelligence is coming out slowly.
Pray Apple doesnt eventuallymake us payfor these or future AI features.
