The iPhone 16 series will be officially launched on September 20, but according to information on Apple’s official website, the delivery time of the iPhone 16 standard version and iPhone 16 Plus has been extended to October 1. Among the four models, the iPhone 16 Pro Max has the longest delivery delay. If you place an order now, the latest delivery time will be October 17. Although the official starting price is 5,999 yuan, on the third-party e-commerce platform Pinduoduo, the price of the iPhone 16 standard version has fallen below the official price, with a starting price of 5,799 yuan.
The extension of Apple’s new phone delivery time may affect some consumers who are eager to buy a new phone. In addition, price fluctuations on third-party platforms also provide consumers with more choices.
The upgrade highlights of the iPhone 16 series are mainly concentrated in several aspects. First, the new model is equipped with a more advanced chip to improve performance. Secondly, a new camera control button is added on the right side of the fuselage, providing users with a more convenient operation method. For the Pro version, the screen size has increased and the camera performance has been further enhanced. However, for users who are looking forward to experiencing Apple’s AI technology, they may have to wait for a while.
Not long ago, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo released a report showing that the pre-order sales of the iPhone 16 series in the first weekend were about 37 million units, a decrease of about 12.7% compared with the sales of the iPhone 15 series in the same period last year.
