Apple had been counting on new artificial intelligence features to make the iPhone 16 a major hit. But pre–sale estimates point to a more muted early response than Apple had hoped.
Still have my iPhone 10 pro I got for free from my old job like 4 years ago. There has been absolutely nothing hardware-wise that has been introduced that makes me want to upgrade.
Maybe customers are feeling like I have for the last several years and can’t justify such an ungodly expensive for no comparable return in this shit economy.
I’m finally upgrading my excellent XS Max to a 16 because I want more space and 120h. But damn I love that iPhones are still supported and fast as shit after six years.

Apple be like “shit, we had a solution for that but we can’t use it anymore…”
They still have their backup solution: Security patches end after 5 years and you can’t install an alternative OS like most Android phones.
Full iOS upgrades are longer than that… my XS max is six years old and fully supported still.
Bad news for them, most people couldn’t care less about those
