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

Published

October 2, 2024

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.

If you’re not very tech-savvy, this is for you.

The first step is to log in to ChatGPT. You can use your Gmail account to sign in. Once you’re logged in, simply type a prompt — that means telling ChatGPT what you want it to help you with — and it will respond.

Now, let’s look at a few examples of what you can ask:

For Business People

List 5 competing brands for “my business” and explain how they reach their target audience.
Suggest marketing strategies for a small business.
Help me create a content plan for social media.

If You Want to Know About Celebrities or Trending Topics

List the top 5 band groups.
Name 10 popular actresses globally, in Nigeria, or in Korea.
What topics are currently trending?

For Fashion

List colours that go well with a brown top.
Suggest outfit ideas for a casual outing and so much more.

ChatGPT is a tool designed to make life easier. It is not something to fear or see as something that will take over your job. Instead, it is a tool that can make your work easier and help satisfy your curiosity.
