With the addition of AI features, the new A18 chip and stronger performance, TechInsights analysts expect iPhone 16 series shipments to exceed their predecessors, with global shipments expected to reach 73 million units in 2024. iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to become the best-selling model in the iPhone 16 series, accounting for 35% of total sales, thanks to its larger display, powerful A18 Pro chip and appeal to high-end users.
iPhone 16 Pro Series
On September 10, Apple released the much-anticipated iPhone 16 series. Among them, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have significant improvements in display size and performance. Both models are equipped with Apple’s most advanced A18 Pro chip to date, providing faster processing speeds and excellent graphics performance, making these two models the pinnacle of smartphone innovation.
The standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus retain the previous display size, but introduce two key features: an action button and a new A18 chip. In addition, all four models are equipped with a new camera control button, allowing users to access and manage the camera more conveniently.

One of the big news announced with the iPhone 16 series is the launch of Apple Intelligence, which is scheduled to be launched in five English-speaking countries (the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and South Africa) in October. It is expected to expand to more languages and countries in 2025.
Despite the innovations in hardware and software, Apple has managed to keep prices similar to last year’s iPhone 15 series. Apple is expected to offset the cost increase with higher sales.
With powerful hardware, advanced AI capabilities and the introduction of Apple Intelligence, TechInsights said that the new iPhone models have taken a favorable position in the smartphone market and are expected to continue Apple’s leading position.
