iPhone 16 just made the iPhone 16 Pro look pointless — and the preorder sales prove it

IPhone 16 vs iPhone 16 Pro.

I’ve used Pro iPhones for years. Dating back to the iPhone 12 Pro, I made the most of this faster performance and improved camera array but the iPhone 16 just killed any reason for me to buy one.

And since writing this, it seems like a lot of you are in agreement here. With sales of the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus up by 10% and a staggering 48% respectively, and the Pro/Pro Max slumping (27% and 16% down), it seems like a lot of 37 million people who pre-ordered don't need the over-the-top feature set.
