Some good notes from Jason Snell after attending the iPhone 16 event. On AI’s staggered rollout:

They’re promoting a key feature of their new iPhone… that won’t be there if you order one for delivery on September 20. Maybe it’ll be there, in beta, a few weeks later. But only some of it. The rest of it will come in December, or maybe early next year, or maybe next spring. In dribs and drabs over time.

A related problem is that it’s going to be even longer (years) until the new Siri works consistently everywhere. I generally like Apple’s strategy, but on-device models will hold them back.
