Only recently, Apple presented us with a whole line of iPhone 16 smartphones. However, the demand for some of these models is by no means impressive.

Demand on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus is very low. And Apple has reportedly cut orders by 10 million units by the first half of next year, according to the latest report from longtime Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, GSMArena.

Total production of the iPhone 16 series in 4Q24 is expected to reach 80 million units. This is down from the previous estimate of 84 million, which itself was down from 90-91 million units for the iPhone 15 series last year.

iPhone 16 production is expected to drop to 45 million units in in 1Q25 and 39 million units in 2Q25.

Kuo also confirmed his pessimistic views on Apple Intelligenceas a demand driver for the iPhone 16 series. By the way, Kuo suggests that production of the iPhone SE4 will begin in December, and Apple plans to ship about 8.6 million units of its upcoming budget device by 1Q25.

Please note that according to the latest reports, the iPhone SE 4 will have a design reminiscent of the iPhone 14, with a larger 6.1-inch OLED display. This is a significant increase over the current model's 4.7-inch LCD screen and brings the SE line up to par with Apple's flagship devices in terms of display technology.

Other notable upgrades include:< /p>

• USB-C port to replace Lightning connector.
• Action button, a feature introduced in iPhone 15 Pro.
• 5G modem designed Apple.
• 48MP rear camera, up from the current 12MP.
• 8GB of RAM, double the current model's 4GB.< /li>
