iPhone 16 Pro sales are below expectations, analyst claims

17 September 2024
It may be because Apple Intelligence got delayed.

Sort by:

It's almost as if price creep and anemic iterations cannot work indefinitely. But... They will just reduce the price eventually and they will fly off the shelves.

    Well, iphone 15 hasn't enough memory to run Apple Intelligence...
    Minimum is 8GB...
    So, Apple put 8GB on all 16 and 16 Pro model.

    It's enough ! When Apple will release iOS 20 with brand New Apple Intelligence 2, 8GB won't be enough, and will have to change !
    Planned obsolescence ?

        You pay so much more for pro models just to end up getting white screen or screen of death. My friend and j bought the iphone same year he went for plus model i went for pro and i find it so hard to see that my pro model gets this problem of white screen (screen of death ) while my friends plus model is still working so nicely..

              Apple forgot to say "the more you buy, the more you save!"

              Wait a minute... Wrong company, but the same principle 🤫🥴

                "Pre-orders for the iPhone 16 series in the first weekend are estimated to be about 37 million units,"

                37m units is huge amount of sales in first weekend. Apple will sell huge amount of iPhones every year, it's not even question. They're userbase is over 1 billion so there's always people who new iPhones offer lot more than one extra button.

                  It's not because delay of apple intelligence but because people have become intelligent. They won't pay for bullshit like one extra camera button.

                      Not only the lack if Apple Intelligence, but really what else did the pro's get? a new 48mp ultrawide, a tiny bit bigger screen, a new paint job and IOS 18, oh and a rather pointless capture button. not exactly setting the world on fire is it, they should have at least upgraded the telephoto as well so we have uniform 48mp cameras around the back, but thats obviously for the 17 series, give us a 1" sensor? thats probably not till iPhone 20, just drab updates.

                        "Demand for the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max is lower than expected, despite Apple having been very optimistic about the Pro Max's outlook and growing shipments before pre-orders started (compared to the 15 Pro Max)."

                        A nothing story Apple believes it own hype we will sell more than last years record sales
                        it doesn't pan out
                        Before Xmas 2025 another story Apple may be on track for bumper year

                        If I wrote this article it would be what year iteration sales was the worst!
                        You can bet that any year AFTER the iPhone X won't be included price is no obstacle so the bad years were when iPhones were a lot less exorbitant

                        As every statistician knows you use moving averages 3 or 5 years.
                        The Apple iPhone total sales escalator only goes up. Gravity explain the exception to Isaac Newton if only he had Apple intelligence.

                          "Kuo speculates that the disappointing performance of the Pro models has to do with the fact that Apple Intelligence features aren't launching with them this Friday"

                          No, it has to do with the fact that people become poorer and iPhones become more expensive. Moreover, Apple sells the same outdated crap every year.

                              Hopefully the so called Apple Intelligence won’t change a thing and the sales remain as low as possible. It is about time companies realize they can’t charge insane amount of money for little to no innovation

                                      Pear, 17 Sep 2024iPhone 13 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro.. 1. You can play RE4 or ... more1. Don't know what "RE4" is and I never played a single game on the phone. I don't have free time to waste on that
                                      2. iPhone 13 Pro doesn't struggle with heat dissipation, it was never an issue - they created that issue on iPhone 15 Pro, when they switched to Titanium.
                                      3. Ok? Phones(iPhone or Android) for quite a few years don't struggle with CPU power, it's more than enough. iPhone 13 Pro definitely doesn't struggle with CPU power.
                                      4. There is a small bump in camera quality, that is true. If I had an older iPhone, it would of been a better motivator.

                                        It's not cause Apple intelligence. Its cause 16 and 15 series are basically the same. Its impossible now to put little faster soc and marginally better camera,and ask 30% more for that. Apple losing market share everywhere..
