A lot of coverage of the Apple event! I’ve selected a few unique angles and distinctive takes.
**The NYT**
- "The iPhone’s limited feature set is emblematic of how Apple is taking a cautious approach to generative A.I."
- "Wall Street is enthusiastic about the artificially intelligent phones, with analysts predicting the features could help Apple sell a record 240 million iPhones next year."
**The Guardian**
- "Despite the bells and whistles, and being a tech-adopting lot, I bet many of you won’t be lining up to buy it."
- One reason is the simple cost of the iPhone 16, which starts at $799.
- The adoption of AI into the iPhone could be considered a step change in how the iPhone works. But there may not be a huge hankering to use ChatGPT on your phone."
**The WSJ**
- Apple didn’t say when the AI services would be available in China, its second-largest market after the U.S.
- The delay puts the iPhone maker at a disadvantage against rivals offering AI services
- Huawei held its own announcement in China to release the Mate XT, a three-way foldable smartphone with AI features.
- Apple said that the launch of Apple Intelligence was subject to regulatory approval. In China, any generative AI models that could influence public opinion need government approval.
**CNN**
- "For an event built around unveiling Apple’s first AI-powered iPhone, there was one striking absence over the two-hour presentation: the words 'artificial intelligence.'"
- "But Apple understands something that often gets lost in the bot-pilled bubble of Silicon Valley: Regular people don’t trust AI."
