<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Even if the next iPhone won't be released for over a year, Apple's present problems could impact what will be released or even when. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">The statement "won't noticeably postpone" the release is as strong as it gets for now, but we'll see what transpires in the upcoming months.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">In his most recent Power On email, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg claims that Craig Federighi decided to halt iOS 18 development in late October. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Federighi, who oversees software engineering, reportedly decided to “debug the software and improve performance” as opposed to continuing with additional software development.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Gurman claims that this seldom occurs. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><img alt="iPhone 16 release date could be impacted by rare Apple decision" src="http://gospeedcheck.com/filemanager/data-images/imgs/20231129/a-rare-apple-decision-may-affect-iphone-16-release-date.jpg" style="height:400px; width:640px"></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><em>iPhone 16 release date could be impacted by rare Apple decision</em></p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Although it requires bravery to take such a step, it is better to solve issues and remove bugs immediately rather than allowing them to lower quality later.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Gurman notes that since he thinks the technology of the iPhone 16 series will be comparable to that of the iPhone 15, quick new software would be even more crucial. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">This delay makes sense if that's the case, and there have already been speculations of new buttons on the iPhone 16 Pro Max that imply something is off.</p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">And that would make sense considering that, based on recent rumors, iOS 18 is probably going to promise the incorporation of generative AI capabilities into Apple devices. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">Gurman affirms this as well, stating that "iOS 18 and other operating systems due next year—the next generation of Apple's software—are even more critical than usual." </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify">With generative AI, the corporation is vying for market share with Google and OpenAI, and iOS 18 is set to introduce this technology to the iPhone.</p>
