As Apple gears up to unveil the iPhone 16 lineup, a new study suggests that allure of new features may no longer be the driving force behind iPhone purchases. Historically, Apple has wowed customers with significant features that have created a surge in iPhone upgrades. From the introduction of the Retina display to the implementation of Face ID, these features have tempted users to trade in their old models.

Most iPhone buyers prioritize need over new features in latest upgrades

A new rumor says that the capacitive Capture button on the forthcoming iPhone 16 range will work regardless of whether cases include an opening for it. It's now as close to certain as it can be that the forthcoming iPhone 16 models will have a new Capture button. Expected to be partly a camera shutter button and partly a touch-sensitive control, Capture is only the second new button to be added to the iPhone in years.

Apple's iPhone 16 cases may not need a cutout for the Capture button

Two new models of AirPods 4 are believed to be featured in Apple's iPhone 16 event, with both gaining USB-C, improved audio, and one getting a charging case speaker. Apple has been reported to be mass producing a replacement for the current AirPods 3 since March 2024, and it's previously been expected that a new model would be announced alongside the iPhone 16. According to Bloomberg, Apple will instead launch two versions of the AirPods 4.

Investment firm Piper Sandler believes Apple Intelligence will not boost iPhone 16 sales at first, and an expected price hike may impact demand. In July 2024, Piper Sandler raised its Apple target price to $225 specifically because of Apple Intelligence. Ahead of the iPhone 16 launch, the company still believes that Apple Intelligence will be key — but not immediately.

Dennis Weaver, who died of cancer in 2006, was a talented actor who left his indelible mark in three hit TV shows: Gunsmoke (CBS, 1955-1964; 1974), Gentle Ben (NBC, 1967-1969), and McCloud (NBC, 1970-1977). Before and after those iconic programs, Weaver had some hits and misses and some self-doubts about leaving the security of the long-running Gunsmoke series after almost a decade. The actor delivered countless performances before, during, and after that show. Some included small screen appearances in a compelling episode of The Twilight Zone, and the groundbreaking TV-movie Duel (Steven Spielberg's first full-length film). This is his story.
