It may be because Apple Intelligence got delayed.

    Can't see any cons in that. Overhype, overprice, underdeliver, underfeature and now watch how your company is deteriorating from lower sales. Vote with your wallet, folks. Buy something else. It's not the Apple it is used to be during Jobs era...

      Apple are masters of repackaging old products maybe people are starting to realise

        Nice, lets wait for Chinese consumers are settling their iPhone 16 Series market down, instead of buying "truly innovate" Huawei tri-fold's Mate XT.

          PatrickCzech, 17 Sep 2024So if people do like me have 15 Pro, or even 14 Pro or 13 P... moreWhy should someone upgrade, if the same features are going to get trickled down to older phones with time?
          There's a reason why I recommend not to upgrade, as the core functionality of any phones haven't changed (unless those products are abandoned as a result of planned obsolescence)

            Nobody cares about Apple Intelligence. They care about the aesthetics, camera performance, screen quality i.e. hardware.

              This year, the iPhone Pros came from India. That's why ;P

                Also the fact that Apple brand image of reliability and assurance has taken a hit due to Green/White screen issues.
                Apple need to come forward and take the responsibility for faulty hardware/software to improve trust on brand.

                  This AI bs is clearly overrated.

                    Not news, as even Apple already knew this as they placed fewer orders to the suppliers. So much for these analysts doing nothing other than regurgitating old news.

                      So if people do like me have 15 Pro, or even 14 Pro or 13 Pro, there is no need to upgrade. I myself upgraded from 13 Pro to 15 Pro last year and it was a pointless upgrade.

                        Want more than expectation? Make a full 4.5 inch phone.

                          BTW kiddies... THIS is a report by someone who's JOB it is!

                          Not some wannabe influencer like IceUni else talking g smack about Samsung lack of sales.


                          How do you know?! Evidence from sources:

                          "The analyst has shared his data compiled from a supply chain survey and pre-order results from Apple's official websites."

                            Given the economic state of majority of people its not surprising luxury/non essential items are taking backseat and seeing slowdown in sales. Electronics across the broad have seen slowdown in sales.

                                No, no, not due to unjustified inflation price for all the model in europe, while also not getting Apple intellicrap" They even do not allow you to change the icons scheme in europe...
                                yes cause you know apparently it's gamebreaking and if you have this feature and europe is not happy about it, better not release.

                                That was the last draw for me :) I'm gonna ditch every apple product that I own. and oh boy
                                this is just retribution for EU. anti gatekeeper

                                Hahha, hope europe and europeans boycott apple.

                                  I think so, as there are many rumors about the iPhone 17 that make it sound like a better deal than this year's iPhone.

                                    iPhone 15 series is still good enough. There's no need to change every year.

                                        the last gen , apple posted sales number was iphone 12 time. that was 102 million devices sold. Now since ip13 ,no figure has been share to public. sound like current sales figure wont bypass the 100M barrier anymore. For samsung S series could be 3 time more worse than that figure . future can we say that impossible for apple to repeat same glory during iphone 6 (bendgate) which more than 200M sold .Thats was the highest number apple ever reach. The smarphone market trend is vastly change now compared to 10 years ago .
