(James Manning\/PA via AP)<span class=\"caption-credit\"> (ASSOCIATED PRESS)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Importantly, Woodring pointed out that the iPhone 16 doesn\u2019t appear to be impacted by the kinds of supply constraints that caused a slowdown in iPhone shipments in recent years but added that Apple generally overbuilds its number of iPhones ahead of launch.<\/p>\n<p>Taken together, the early outlook for Apple\u2019s iPhone 16 sales appears troubling. But there are two other points to take into consideration. The first is that Apple may have simply prepared better for iPhone demand this time around, which means it\u2019s able to ship them out more quickly than in previous years.<\/p>\n<p>The second point is that iPhone customers could simply be holding off on grabbing an iPhone 16 or iPhone 16 Pro <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/apple-believes-apple-intelligence-is-its-platform-of-the-future-rolling-it-out-will-take-time-182948113.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:because Apple Intelligence;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">because Apple Intelligence<\/a> isn\u2019t available yet. This year\u2019s flagship feature for the iPhone, Apple Intelligence is set to launch later this fall, with additional capabilities added throughout 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The first batch of features, coming in October, will include a revamped version of Siri, summarizations for text messages and other notifications, and word options to reword and summarize text documents.<\/p>\n<p>While the latest iPhones don\u2019t include Apple Intelligence, they are still excellent smartphones. The updated cameras and improved photo style options are great touches. And the improved battery life and addition of the Action Button to the base iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 plus are welcomed upgrades.<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"link caas-button readmore-button-finance collapse-button readmore-button-class\" data-ylk=\"elm:readmore;slk:Story continues\"><span class=\"readmoreButtonText\">Story continues<\/span><\/button><\/p>\n<p>But with Apple\u2019s promise that Apple Intelligence will fundamentally change what users are able to do with their iPhones, consumers may feel as though upgrading right away isn\u2019t worth the trouble and could instead make the switch when Apple Intelligence launches in October.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that while the first initial weeks of iPhone sales can provide a sense of early demand for Apple\u2019s latest smartphones, the holiday season is typically the most important indicator of how consumers are reacting to the devices. If sales slow during that period, Apple will truly have something to worry about.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-figure-with-pb\" style=\"max-height: 350px\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader\" style=\"padding-bottom:50%\"><a class=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/subscription.yahoo.net\/Newsletter\/Preference\/sub?&amp;b=finance&amp;src=240824748\" data-ylk=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy\" alt=\"Sign up for Yahoo Finance's Week in Tech newsletter.\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/qu1lgHXTnkxAhQS38I7XIg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTQ4MA--\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2024-09\/442e77d0-7b79-11ef-af34-0a7f08eca47a\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Sign up for Yahoo Finance's Week in Tech newsletter.\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/qu1lgHXTnkxAhQS38I7XIg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTQ4MA--\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2024-09\/442e77d0-7b79-11ef-af34-0a7f08eca47a\" class=\"caas-img\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption class=\"caption-collapse\"><em>Sign up for Yahoo Finance&#8217;s Week in Tech newsletter.<\/em><span class=\"caption-credit\"> (yahoofinance)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><em>Email Daniel Howley at dhowley@yahoofinance.com.
