Apple's iPhone 16 is available in stores — but without AI

Apple's iPhone 16 lineup hit stores in some 60 countries Friday, but have not exactly been flying off the shelves.
Some analysts attribute tepid demand for the new phones to the fact that they were missing a key feature out of the box: the tech giant's much-hyped artificial intelligence features.
"One of the key factors for the lower-than-expected demand for the iPhone 16 Pro series is that the major selling point, Apple Intelligence, is not available at launch alongside the iPhone 16 release," TF International Securities Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo wrote in a blogpost.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
