There will be a total of 8 different iPhones released. The upcoming iPhone 16 lineup is turning out to be quite different this year.

It is the European Union's (EU) Digital Market Act that compels Apple to make sure that the upcoming iOS 18 update will allow iPhone 16 users complete control over their devices. This unprecedented legislation requires Apple to open up its ecosystem. It required tech giant companies like Apple to allow its users to uninstall default apps, including the App Store, and replace them with third-party alternatives. Not only that, but "in future software updates, users will get new default settings for dialling phone numbers, sending messages, translating text, navigation, managing passwords, keyboards, and call spam filters," Apple promised. For example, an iPhone 16 in the EU could run Chrome instead of Safari, AltStore instead of the App Store, and Google Wallet for contactless payments. These changes reflect a significant shift in how European users can customize their iPhones. Apple confirmed, “By the end of this year, we’ll make changes to the browser choice screen, default apps, and app deletion for iOS and iPadOS for users in the EU. These updates come from our ongoing and continuing dialogue with the European Commission about compliance with the Digital Market Act’s requirements in these areas.” iPhone 16 Series With Apple Intelligence in the US Type to Siri on American iPhones, Image Credit - Apple. While European users will get complete device control and customisation, U.S. iPhone 16 users will have access to the full suite of Apple Intelligence features.

These features are designed to enhance the user experience with on-device AI processing. However, due to the EU’s stringent AI regulations, Apple has decided not to roll out Apple Intelligence in Europe. The company is citing unspecified "security compromises" as the reason for withholding these features.

It is now framed to focus on user personal privacy, security, and consumer choice. A part of this framework is the Digital Markets Act. It required tech giants such as Apple to allow users more control over their purchased devices. This means Apple has to keep the door of alternatives open for its users. And there is the AI Act. It demands transparency and imposes restrictions on AI models designed for general use. This includes platforms like OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Apple's own AI initiative. Tech giants such as Meta, Apple, Google, and OpenAI have all expressed concerns and are not pleased with these new regulations.
