As tempting as it is to splurge on the new iPhone 16, my practical side always wins out. Raised with a “if it’s not broken, don’t replace it” mentality, I’ve learned to stick with whatever I have, even if it is no longer shiny and new.
Not to mention, I’m more of a giver, which explains why my oldest son has the iPhone 15 and I’m rocking the A14 Bionic processor of the iPhone 12 Pro. Still a solid choice, but after learning about the Apple Intelligence suite of tools, on the new iPhone 16 and 16 Pro, I began to wonder, with the right apps, could I hold off on an upgrade?
Apple Intelligence promises services such as rewriting emails, summarizing content, automating tasks, and generating images, everything my phone can already do with the help of a few apps. Here are the AI features I have on my older model to keep me happy until I spring for a new iPhone.
