Apple’s iPhone 16 Pre-Sales Fall Short of Expectations

Apple had high hopes for the iPhone 16, featuring new artificial intelligence capabilities, but early pre-sale numbers are not looking good. They sold about 37 million units during the first weekend of pre-sales, which is over 12% lower than the previous year’s iPhone 15 launch.

Sales of the pricier iPhone 16 Pro models were especially weak, down 27% and 16% for the Pro and Pro Max versions. In contrast, sales of the more affordable iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus saw a slight increase, raising concerns about consumer choices and how this could affect Apple’s overall revenue.

Although Apple hasn’t shared exact sales figures, shorter delivery times for the iPhone 16 Pro models may indicate better supply chain management rather than strong demand. Many consumers might not yet understand the value of the new AI features, making it harder for Apple to encourage upgrades. Still, analysts are hopeful that the iPhone 16 will gain traction as the important holiday sales season approaches.
