Developers could be adding a feature utilizing LLMs to their existing app that already has a large user base. This could be a matter of a few weeks from an idea ti shipping the feature. While competitors use API calls to just "get things done", you are trying to figure out how to serve both iPhone 16 and older users, and potentially Android/web users if your product is also available elsewhere. I don't see how an iPhone 16 only feature helps anyone's product development, especially when the quality still remains to be seen.

Basically this - network effects are huge. People will definitely by hardware if it solves a problem for them - so many people bought blackberries just for BBM.

Exactly, it can take at least a couple of years to get big/important apps to use iOS, macOS features. By that Iphone 16 would be quite common.
