They also feature a dual rear camera capable of recording spatial videos for viewing on the Apple Vision Pro and a faster A18 processor to handle the new artificial intelligence features. Too bad, however, that Apple Intelligence will not be available in Italy.

Among the AI ​​features we won’t get is Visual Intelligence, an option tied to the iPhone 16’s Camera Control button that will automatically search for the things you take pictures of. In supported countries, you can also use it to perform actions, like taking a photo of a concert poster and easily adding it to your calendar.
