Renowned analyst Ming Chi-Kuo claims that the iPhone 16 Plus is the model that has sold the most units during pre-order weekend.

He suggests the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max are both down in sales year-on-year, while the iPhone 16 models are up.

Appleheld itsGlowtime event on 9 Septemberand alongside anew Apple Watchand new AirPods, the iPhone 16 series was revealed at the event. The range comprises the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus,iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, but unlike 2023 when the Pro models were the more exciting thanks to their switch to a titanium build, we would say it is theiPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plusthat were the stars of this year’s show.

The standard models will not only supportApple Intelligencewhen it arrives later this year, but they also come in some great colour options, feature the Action Button and new Camera Control button and have an upgraded camera setup.

In a report from renowned industry analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, preliminary pre-order figures also suggest the standard models most captured the attention of consumers.

Now, it’s important to remember that Kuo has based his report on shipping times on Apple’s website and a “supply chain survey” rather than official details from Apple itself, but he claims from his findings that theiPhone16 Plus is this year’s hottest model.

Kuo claims in his report that the iPhone 16 line up overall is down 12.7% compared to theiPhone 15 line upin its first weekend, although he believes Apple has still sold around 37 million units in just a few days. Again though, these aren’t official figures and while they give some indication, it’s best to take them with a little pinch of salt.

The iPhone 16 series was madeavailable to pre-order on 13 September. All four models will hit shelves on 20 September.
