Lack of Apple Intelligence hurting iPhone sales in markets where it is already struggling

Apple’s latest iPhone 16 models are seeing strong sales in certain regions, but in others, performance has been less impressive. CEO Tim Cook suggests that the availability of Apple Intelligence, the company’s AI platform, is a key factor in this discrepancy. In a recent conversation with CNBC, Cook revealed that markets where Apple Intelligence has been rolled out are experiencing stronger iPhone 16 sales compared to areas without the platform.

Despite the absence of Apple Intelligence in China, a region critical to Apple’s global growth, the company has still managed to maintain success there thanks to strong hardware advancements and brand loyalty. However, Cook’s comments hint that the rollout of Apple Intelligence could play a significant role in boosting sales where it’s available.

Apple’s AI suite

Unlike its competitors, such as Google, who have aggressively marketed AI features, Apple has taken a more understated approach with its AI platform. Apple Intelligence works quietly behind the scenes, enhancing the iPhone experience with features like smarter Siri interactions, better photo editing suggestions, and personalised app recommendations. This subtle integration fits Apple’s style, allowing the AI to enrich the user experience without the fanfare of an overt marketing push.

Cook’s remarks suggest that this behind-the-scenes AI strategy is resonating with customers, giving the iPhone 16 an edge in markets where Apple Intelligence is active. While not immediately obvious, these AI features contribute significantly to the phone’s overall performance, enhancing everything from battery life to camera quality.

AI’s growing importance and Apple’s cautious rollout

The rise of AI is impossible to ignore in today’s tech landscape. Companies like Google have made AI a central feature in their devices, with Pixel phones offering standout capabilities such as real-time translation and advanced camera features. In contrast, Apple has been more selective, gradually rolling out AI features that integrate seamlessly with its hardware and software ecosystem.

For the iPhone 16, Apple Intelligence improves user experience in ways that aren’t always visible but make a big difference. The phone’s new hardware, including enhanced cameras and longer battery life, is further optimised by AI, adding another layer of functionality that enhances the overall appeal. Apple’s selective rollout of Apple Intelligence across certain markets seems to be a way of testing the waters, as the company typically takes a measured approach with new technology.

As AI continues to shape the future of technology, Apple’s ability to integrate it seamlessly into its products could become one of the company’s major differentiators. With AI quietly elevating the iPhone 16 experience, it may only be a matter of time before Apple expands this platform more widely, potentially driving further sales in markets yet to experience its full benefits.
