Lately, phone makers seem so eager to trumpet new features coming to their devices that they'll announce those capabilities well in advance of when they'll actually arrive on phones. In some cases, those features may not even appear until long after the phones themselves go on sale.
The latest culprit is Apple, which previewed the Apple Intelligence features that will bring new AI-powered capabilities to the iPhone later this year. Apple Intelligence isn't out yet, not even as part of the iOS 18 public beta that came out earlier this month. And while we should see some features find their way on to iPhones that support Apple Intelligence at some point this summer, some aspects of the project, such as a revamp of the Siri personal assistant, may not finish rolling out until 2025. That's long after the likely release date for the iPhone 16 models that many will consider upgrading to due to the lure of full Apple Intelligence support. (Remember, of the current iPhones, only the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max will work with Apple Intelligence when it does arrive.)
