Recently upgraded my iPhone 11 to 16 (mostly because battery was not great anymore). I've turned off all of the gen AI stuff and enjoy the longer battery life and a better camera. I'm not an gen AI skeptic - I use it in other contexts (e.g. CoPilot, chatGPT). I just don't find Apple's current AI experiments that appealing really (e.g. emojis?? really?). I guess gradually they'll find the natural fit of these technologies in places where they actually bring value. At the moment it just feels like a salespitch to justify the over spec-ed phones we keep buying.
