The launches brought no new announcements, however, on artificial intelligence features to help Apple close the gap with the likes of Alphabet’s Google, which showcases the capabilities of its Gemini AI technology in its flagship phones. “We don’t expect the iPhone Air to deliver a major sales boost, as Apple compromised on battery life, cameras, and audio to achieve the slimmer design, features crucial to consumers,” said Mr Will Wong, senior smartphone analyst at research firm IDC.
