      Doubt. Tmobile had really shitty upgrade offers this time around and pissed everyone off. People changed their rate plan last year and this year “oh you need to get this even more expensive one if you want trade in value”. Fuck off. I switched to Visible and went from $90 to $15 a month and it runs on Verizon.

      I was on the 2 year old Magenta Max plan and it got no trade in offers at all. So Tmobile didn’t want my business.

      Shady trade in offers aside, I have to be honest:

      I’ve owned a Samsung Note 4, Note 8, and now a Pixel 7 Pro. The Pixel is, by far, the most annoying device I’ve ever owned. I had to install Nova to get rid of the search bars everywhere, turn off “Gestures”, and get a case because the phone itself is so damn slippery.

      And that’s not even counting the missed calls and/or text messages I had to deal with for the first 6 months of owning it. My wife would come home pissed becuase I missed some important text. Phone wouldn’t even show a notification of a text, or missed call. I’d compare phones and yep, they called, nothing recorded on my end.

      And this is google’s FLAG SHIP phone!?!

      Don’t get me wrong, Apple has their fair share of hardware issues. But their phones DO last a long time, fit into people’s Apple ecosystem well, and software wise, “just work”. I conclude a lot of people are just giving up on Android.

    3. I’ll trust this guy than that Taiwanese analyst with 0 actual sales data and pulling numbers out of his ass ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)

    4. It is because the iphone 16 has AI this time around , this year’s marquee feature while Iphone 15 didnt have last year’s marquee feature, 120 Hz display

    5. Yah cuz exist customer can trade their iPhone for $850 to $1000 credit for the iPhone 16 lol

      Obvious it sell like hot cake

    6. How? There’s basically no upgrade whatsoever. The battery is only better because the phone is bigger. And “Apple intelligence” doesn’t even come with the model from release🤦🏻‍♂️

      “We sell more iPhone 16s than last year”

      “We sell fewer iPhone 16 Pros than last year though🥴🥴”
