Apple's iPhone 16 Series Receives Underwhelming Response with 37 Million Pre-Orders and 12.7% Year-on-Year Decline

Strategic Insights -

Apple's latest annual event has come to an end, and with it, the company has launched its new iPhone 16 series, comprising of four models: the primary iPhone 16, the iPhone 16 Plus, and the more advanced iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Despite the impressive pre-order numbers, with a total of over 37 million pre-orders, the iPhone 16 Pro has received a relatively underwhelming response, leading to a 12.7% year-on-year decline in numbers compared to the previous iPhone 15 series. This is a worrying sign for the company, as it has been facing consumer fatigue with its products, making the newer iPhone 'upgrades' less desirable.
