Apple's success in AI depends on utility, not Gen Z, an analyst said.
  • Gen Z loves Apple but isn't prioritizing AI features in new smartphone purchases, a survey said.
  • Still, Apple Intelligence is expected to boost iPhone 16 sales.
  • Analysts believe that young people will come around to AI eventually.

Gen Z is loving Apple, but that doesn't mean they'll be first in line to buy the new iPhone.
