Everyone who buys a iPhone 16 (and already use a 15) is a dumb idiot.
But hey, I have Apple shares, so be dumb please.
90% of apple customers are really brainwashed

Looks like I can order any model and pick it up in the next hour time slot. Don’t understand these long lines.

IPhone 16 sales are down 12% from iPhone 15

First day always has some level of queue at the main locations – but it isn’t going to be relevant in sales at these numbers and if you can still order and collect / deliver straight away it isn’t off to a great start.

Good thing I bought shares when it was $160 – $170.

Apple gave me $1000 for my iPhone 12 to upgrade to a 16 pro. Ordered it Saturday, It arrives today via UPS. Line waiters are not well informed
Edit: ATT, not Apple

News over iPhone recently has been so bipolar. One article says iPhone order hasn’t been so down in years while another says massive excitement for new iPhone.
Buy the stock

Last year, there were no lines at my store. This year there was a consistent full queue outside, all day (I can see this from my office window)

I don’t know why this is surprising.
The regular 16 is sick. The AI tools coming are sick. The camera button is sick.
Im purely speaking as a consumer thats about to upgrade from a 12Pro thats perfectly fine and mint condition.
This 16 series is the first iPhone to get me excited since the 12series.
Clearly Im not the only one.

Huh? Who cares about the lines, what are the actual sales?

AI will be a milestone. Recall everyone scoffed at NVIDIA for adding AI blocks into their GPU’s and look how that faired for them. For Apple it is even more significant. This is AI at “the edge” where it can add the most value in personalized experiences. Its evolutionary for Apple – the company that built its reputation on making a computer something anyone who could point and click could use. AI – 70+ years in the making – has finally become ubiquitous. And credit to Apple – they focused on security to make the capability robust but still private. Once they flip it on the rush to upgrade will be enormous. Its not just a product refresh – its a leap.

So is it a flop like the news is saying it is with demand non existent or is it just like every iPhone sale?

Look at the ad that came up with this post… you can’t make this shit up
Apple just put everyone’s pickup order for the same time.
long lines but wait time was less then 20 mins, at least in my location
I have an appointment to pick up mine… I hope I don’t have to wait in line
Apple is like a cult once you get sucked into it, very hard to get out
