When new in China on Friday iPhone 16 customers lined up outside an Apple Store in Beijing’s CBD (Central Business District) despite the rain since early morning.
These were all people who visited the store after ordering the new iPhone online.
The colors of Apple’s new phone in China have faded after it was learned that no AI partner has been announced for the iPhone 16 series in the country. The ‘Apple AI’ artificial intelligence software around which the 16 series was designed will be available only in Chinese next year.
“I’m still looking forward to an upgrade in camera features because I go out a lot and use the photography function often,” said Kunit Zhou, a 23-year-old Beijing resident who works in the finance industry. Another thing is the feel of the spray-painted frame, as I usually use the phone without a cover.’

Similarly, Wu, 25, said: ‘Anyway, I saw it online. I heard that the AI model is not active in China. After you take a picture, press the button on the right, it can calculate and match some relevant information with a big data model. For example, if someone takes a photo at a restaurant, the iPhone might suggest which dishes are the best. It can save a lot of time.’
In addition, Lu, a 27-year-old postdoctoral student, says, ‘I think Apple’s features are quite good. Another reason is that I’m going abroad, and I think iPhones are more suitable for use in foreign countries. If I were to live in China, I would probably consider other brands of phones.’
