JAKARTA - The launch of the iPhone 16 scheduled for September and the upcoming iPhone SE 4 spring next year, seems to make the iPhone 15 probably the most outdated model in Apple's history.

One of the main reasons why the iPhone 15 may be considered obsolete is because of iOS 18, Apple's latest operating system, won't bring the latest AI features to the iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Plus.

While the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will support Apple Intelligence and benefit from the latest AI features, non-Pro models will not gain access to this technology. This is a very unusual step for Apple, which usually includes new features on all of its newest iPhone models.

When the iPhone 16 launches next month, it is hoped that this model will offer full support for Apple Intelligence, thanks to the new A18 chip. With the AI features offered on all iPhone 16 variants, from Pro to standard models, the iPhone 15 will look even more outdated.

The problem for the iPhone 15 is exacerbated by the arrival of the iPhone SE 4, which is scheduled to launch in early 2025. The iPhone SE 4 is expected to have a design similar to the iPhone 14 and is equipped with a sharper OLED screen. More importantly, the iPhone SE 4 will carry the same A18 chip as the iPhone 16 and support the Apple Intelligence feature. Something that the iPhone 15 doesn't have.

If Apple follows its usual pricing pattern, the iPhone 15 will experience a price drop to around $699 after the launch of the iPhone 16. Meanwhile, the iPhone SE 4 may be priced at around $499, still lower than the iPhone 15 price, but with more advanced features, including support for Apple Intelligence and the A18 chip.

With better price and technology options than the iPhone SE 4, it will be difficult for the iPhone 15 to remain relevant in the market. While the iPhone 15 has some advantages, such as Dynamic Island which may not exist in SE 4, and a possible camera advantage, many buyers may be more interested in the latest features offered by the iPhone 16 and SE 4.

Overall, the iPhone 15 may soon become a model that is considered outdated, especially with the presence of innovations and new features offered by the iPhone 16 and iPhone SE 4. With this trend, Apple seems to be changing the pattern where the old iPhone models remain relevant longer than usual.
