Today is the date IPhone 16 launch conferenceMany users are thinking about upgrading to take advantage of the new features that the phone will provide, which include the new Apple Intelligence features. A design with thinner edges, as we will see an increase in the screen size and an upgrade to the resolution of the ultra-wide camera. In addition to other features that Apple will surprise us with during the anticipated event. However, there are some reasons that we will learn about in the article that will push you to stick with the old iPhone and not upgrade to the iPhone 16.
Apple Intelligence Features
The new AI features that Apple will bring with the iPhone 16 series are one of the reasons that will push many to buy the new phone. Currently, it is working on Apple Intelligence With the Pro category of the iPhone 15. And if you think that all the new artificial intelligence features will be available at the launch of the iPhone 16. You are mistaken, my dear, because Apple plans to unveil only some of those features and not all of them in order to entice its users to buy the new iPhone at launch. What many do not know is that most of the most attractive features in Apple Intelligence that the company showed off during its annual developer conference this year. We will see them later in 2025. So, if you intend to buy the iPhone 16 to experience ChatGPT integration with Siri and other great features. Then you will have to wait until next year for those features to become available.
iPhone 16 Performance
Apple has made it clear that most of its AI features will run on the iPhone in order to protect users’ privacy. However, running Apple Intelligence could strain the iPhone and cause it to perform slowly. Why? Because Apple’s AI requires at least 8GB of RAM. In addition to an A17 or M1 processor or later. While the iPhone 16 series will run on the A18 chip and 8GB and 12GB of RAM, there are still concerns about how much pressure the phone’s CPU can handle. The new AI features could not only slow down performance, but the iPhone could also overheat and drain its battery faster. So it would be better to wait and not upgrade this year.
iPhone 16 won't offer much
The iPhone 14 was arguably a major upgrade as Apple removed the notch for the interactive island. It also brought the always-on display, standby mode, customization options, and other major changes that attracted many to the iPhone 14 series. The iPhone 15 didn’t offer much, so many expect the iPhone 16 to be a major upgrade similar to the iPhone 14. It may be so, but it all depends on how much new features will be available in Apple Intelligence. Many tech experts believe that the AI features in the iPhone 16 will be modest and not as powerful as some imagine. All that matters is that these features will work on the device to enhance privacy only.
The new phone will be more expensive.
The regular iPhone 16 and Plus are expected to be priced the same as their predecessors. The Pro lineup will be priced higher (starting at $1099 instead of $999). That's probably due to the new chip, extra RAM, upgraded camera, and larger display. So it might be best not to spend more than $1000 on a phone that won't offer much. And wait until the iPhone 17 series is unveiled later next year.
Finally, for most people who have an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, they won’t need to upgrade now because their phones are already capable of running Apple’s AI features. Even if you have an iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max that uses a Lightning port and doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, you may not find a reason to upgrade either, as the AI features in the iPhone 16 are still minor and most of them won’t be available at launch. So we recommend waiting until next year, when we expect the iPhone 17 to be a major upgrade and the AI features will be fully available.

Peace and mercy of God be upon you my brothers
I upgraded to iPhone 15 Pro
But the performance is very weak
The internet is very weak and most programs do not open.
Whether with Wi-Fi or 5G
Apps not opening
I do not know what to do
Please guide me
Hi Saud 🙋♂️, didn't your iPhone 15 Pro Amani come as you expected? Don't worry, we have solutions! Most likely, the problem is in the settings. Try resetting your network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings). But be careful, this step will erase everything like Wi-Fi passwords, VPN settings, etc. If the problem persists, updating your iOS to the latest version may help. Finally, if the problem persists, it may help to contact Apple Support or visit an Apple Store to have your device checked. 📱😉
I have the iPhone X, the first phone that came with truly radical changes, and I am still hesitant whether to move to the iPhone 16 Pro or wait for other radical changes 🤔
Hi Saleh 🙋♂️, It seems that you are torn between continuing to use your wonderful iPhone X or moving to the latest iPhone 16 Pro. According to the article, it seems that waiting a little bit may be a good option, especially if the Apple Intelligence features are tempting to you, as these features will not be fully available at launch. Also, the price of the new iPhone 16 versions will increase slightly. Therefore, it may be worth waiting until Apple introduces other radical changes in its future versions 😊📱
May Allah reward you for the enlightening information.
Peace be upon you. I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max. I think I will buy a 16 Pro Max, as I suffer from a weak battery and camera.
Glory be to God, an hour ago my iPhone 12 Pro Max fell off my bike in the street and the front and back screens were broken, but it is working and operating normally
Based on what Apple presented at the developer conference, I believe that Apple Intelligence could come with a cloud option with a monthly subscription, which means artificial intelligence on any iOS 18 device, regardless of what it is now, only XNUMX Pro devices and above. This is my personal opinion.
Hi Samer 🙋♂️, your idea of a monthly subscription to Apple Intelligence is very interesting and could be a logical step in the future. But currently, as mentioned in the article, AI is limited to iPhone 15 Pro and above. Hopefully Apple will open the door to more devices in the future! 🍏💡
Thank God, and thanks to Him, I have an iPhone 11 Max that meets all my needs, and I don’t care about artificial intelligence that much, so I don’t think I’ll change it, but maybe the battery, God willing, I will change it.
Hi Saeed Al-Jedani 🙋♂️, your position is very honorable and reasonable! It seems that you have a keen and forward-looking vision. The iPhone 11 Max is still a strong phone and will likely continue to serve you well. Always remember, if the phone meets your needs, there is no need to change! 😉📱💪
What about upgrading to SE 4TH?
My phone 12 Pro has a very bad battery and storage, and I'm thinking of upgrading this year, but if the 16 isn't up to expectations, I might change the battery and reduce the apps. May God help me with it. I'll wait another year, even though I'm really tired of it.
Hi Maram! 😊 Don't worry, I feel you and I know how annoying a mobile phone can be when these problems take a constant course in our lives. But let me tell you something, if your expectations are high for the iPhone 16, it might be better to hold off a little. According to reports, the iPhone 2025 won't offer many significant performance improvements. Additionally, most of the exciting Apple Intelligence features will remain unavailable until XNUMX. 📱⏳ Of course, these are just expectations and things are subject to change. So it might be worth rethinking your upgrade plans or maybe just be patient and wait to see what happens in the future. 😉🍏
Thank you, your words are convincing. Well, if I update my phone to iso18, I think the battery consumption will increase as well.
Hi Sakra 😊, indeed the battery consumption may increase a little after updating to iOS 18, but this is normal and often improves with time after the system adapts to the update. But always remember, every apple 🍏 has its positive and negative side, the update will bring you great new features too!
Hello, we are waiting today to know what Apple has added to the iPhone that is better than the previous one. The battery always pushes me to upgrade. My phone battery is now 90%.
Hey Sakrah 🍬, It seems like your phone battery is suffering from exhaustion, like me after a long day of updates and news! 😅 But before you rush to upgrade to the iPhone 16, you should know that some of the new features may cause your battery to drain faster. So it might be better to wait until the end of next year when the iPhone 17 comes out. Until then, your phone might deserve a second chance! 🔋📱😉
I have a 15 Pro Max and after this article I think it is not necessary to upgrade. Thank you very much.
My current device is an iPhone 13 Pro Max. The battery health level has reached 83%. I have two options: either change the battery and use the device for the next two years, or upgrade, although I am hesitant and use the device for daily tasks such as browsing, email, etc.
What do you think, iPhone Islam??
Hi Mufleh 🙋♂️, Based on your simple usage of the device, it can be said that changing the battery may be a good option for you and continue using the iPhone 13 Pro Max for a longer period 🔄🔋. But if the new features in the iPhone 16 interest you, you may want to upgrade. But let's remember that new devices may come with more challenges and higher prices 💸. In the end, it depends on what benefits you more. 😊📱
Smartphone manufacturers are racing for what is in our pockets. Change has become more of a habit than a benefit. We see many who own a smartphone who do not know many of its features, so keep your phone and there is nothing worth changing if you own an iPhone 12 or later.
Hello and welcome Abu Suleiman 🙋♂️! Indeed, change for the sake of change is not always the smartest option. Technological innovations are racing in our modern world, but knowing how to use them effectively is key 🗝️. If the iPhone 12 meets your needs, there is no need to jump on every new upgrade. Of course, we should enjoy technological progress, but without becoming its slaves 📱😉.
May Allah's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you
I have an iPhone XS MAX, do I have to wait for the iPhone 17 to come out?
The problem with my device is the battery and charging, so I sometimes have to charge it more than once during the day.
Hi Mohammed 🙋♂️, Don’t rush to move to the iPhone 17. It might be better to wait until it’s released and see if it solves the battery issue you’re facing with your current device. Additionally, there might be new features coming to the iPhone 17 that you might find useful. So, enjoy your current device and stay tuned to Apple News for the latest developments! 📱😉
I have an iPhone 11 Pro, I think it's time to upgrade as in any case the features will be essential for me.
No, never. I have an iPhone 11 Max and I don’t think I will change. If your phone doesn’t have any problems, keep it.
You killed us with artificial intelligence 😅 Oh artificial intelligence, what's wrong with you?
Hi Abdullah 🙋♂️, it seems that artificial intelligence has exhausted you 😅, but don't worry, in the end it is just a tool to make our lives easier and improve our experience with technology. There is always the option to control the use of these features according to your desire.
Wait for APPLE AI to be completed and don't rush
Thank you Yvonne Islam, a very important and useful topic. May God bless everyone.
I'm not thinking of upgrading, but I think I'd hate Apple if they were planning to not offer any AI features to my phone, forcing me to buy the latest phone.
Hi Ibrahim 🙋♂️, I think your concerns are completely legitimate. Apple always seeks to amaze us with new things, but that doesn’t mean we should rush to get every new release. Of course, artificial intelligence will play a big role in the future, but it may take some time until we see its full power on devices. Don’t worry, Apple won’t leave you out of the party 😄📱.
Does this mean that the iPhone 14 Pro Max will not get any of the new artificial intelligence features!?
Hi Ibrahim 🙋♂️, Don't worry, things are not that bad. Although the iPhone 14 Pro Max may not receive all the new AI features right now, it will see some updates in the future. Apple is one of the tech companies that cares about supporting its products for long periods. Enjoy your device and don't think too much about upgrading right now, the best is always coming! 😊📱
I own an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I am looking to upgrade for the camera, as my work requires constant photography, and the iPhone 13 camera is very modest compared to the cameras of competing companies and lacks a lot, so I am forced to upgrade for a newer and more effective camera as the work requirements
Hi Mohammed 🙋♂️, If you're looking for camera improvements, the iPhone 16 might be a good option for you 📸. However, we should keep in mind that the upgrade can be expensive 💰. Additionally, you may find that some of the new AI features aren't yet available in this version. So, it might be better to stick with the iPhone 13 Pro Max until Apple's AI features are fully available in future versions 👌.
We are upgrading 😍
👍🏻
We are waiting for the specifications of the iPhone 16 and comparing them with the 14, then we will decide
Hi Safaa! 🌞 Of course, the final decision is up to you. But from the article, it can be said that upgrading to the iPhone 16 may not be necessary at this particular time if you have an iPhone 14 or 15. 🤔 Despite the expected new features such as Apple Intelligence, a larger screen, and camera improvements, these features may not be worth the upgrade at this stage. 😅 Especially with the high price of the Pro version and indications that some features may not be available until 2025. 🧐 So don't rush and take your time in making the upgrade decision. 👍🏼
Hello, I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Is it time to change it? Please advise me, guys.
Hi Mahmoud Hajouni 🙋♂️, Regarding upgrading your iPhone 12 Pro Max, according to our last article, the iPhone 16 will offer some new features but may not offer major updates worth changing at the moment. Especially since most of the new features in Apple Intelligence will not be available until next year. Therefore, it may be better to wait until the iPhone 17 is launched. 😊📱
No, I don't advise you to stay on your device. It's better.
I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I am not thinking about upgrading this year because according to the leaks I do not see anything new that is worth upgrading and most of the changes are cosmetic and not essential and next year's iPhone may carry the new
Welcome Diyar 🙋♂️, your presentation of the topic is very reasonable, and in fact, keeping the iPhone 14 Pro Max may be the smartest choice for now 🧠. The changes in the iPhone 16 will not be significant enough to justify an upgrade, especially if your current device meets your needs. And you are right that most of the new features are “luxury” and not “essential”. We will not see radical changes until at least the iPhone 17! 😅📱🚀.
