iPhone 17 Demand Is Breaking Apple's Sales Records

There's also LiDAR, larger sensor in the main camera, USB 3.0, 12GB of RAM. It's something.
Don't even wanna mention the extra gpu core and vapor chamber cooling because it's not as important for most people.
You might be right that the heavy lifting is done by the base iPhone 17, which is what many articles have been saying but arguably based on the actual sales figures. On the other hand, you can't conclusively infer it from the waiting times alone, because they can simply be skewed by a significant misjudgement, from Apple, in predicting which models would have been more popular. Therefore it makes little sense a comparison of "levels of demand" based on the back orders only.
Depends on where you live or roam.

I got a 17 due to the hype, while having been on the Pro line since the X.
It's a good phone but if you're an iPhone Pro guy you'll miss having the best camera you can have in your pocket. Sports events and others are wonderful with that big zoom camera. The main sensor is also better. LiDAR helps focus faster. USB 3.0 means you know you can get some external storage and not be frustrated by it.
So I upgraded to 17 Pro and gave the 17 to the wife.
In the end, I count as 2 sales this year. You're welcome, Tim.

The plus phones have never hurt the pro max sales though. It seems that a lot of people who like the largest phone just buy the pro max
Real question - b/c I'm an Android guy at heart. But at this point, what is customizable on a Samsung or Pixel that's not on an iPhone at this point? The gap has closed quite a bit has it not?
Apple isn’t having much success with the fourth and fifth product segment for the entry level and whatever is in-between the basic and pro lineup.
Well that settles it then. I will alert the analysts and tell them to change their projections.
These figures are mind boggling! They mean that Apple is manufacturing and selling 677,808 phones every day. That’s 28,242 an hour, 470 a minute and 7.85 phones every second! 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! As I said, Mind Boggling!!
No wonder the share price is on the way up and reaching all time highs.

People need to stop looking at year over year upgrades. The iphone 17 is not for anyone who owns a 15 or 16. What is the point of upgrading every year? If you are holding your phone for 3-4 years like a normal person, these upgrades are quite impactful. I went from an iPhone X to a 15pro. Do you think I cared that it wasnt much different than 14pro? No. I cared that it was a MASSIVE upgrade over my iPhone X. I will hold onto my 15 pro and probably upgrade for the 20th anniversary edition iPhone.
Your average iPhone pro customer has it because it’s the “best”. They have no idea why that is or what any of those things are. “3 cameras, it must be better!”
The Pros are now the F-150 of smart phones.
Agree, though honestly I do not pay attention to what phones people are using, I'm in SoCal and avoid the crowded spots when I can...
That's interesting as I write apps for a living and I had someone get in touch just last week complaining about one screen which they couldn't access the lower part of the screen similar to what you are showing us.
I checked on the simulator version of their phone (iPhone 13 running 26.1) and also on my own phone (iPhone 13 Pro Max, 26.1) but couldn't reproduce it.
So it looks like a bug which is hard to reproduce and only affects a small number of users.
I'd suspect something in the phone's Settings configuration (Accessibility maybe?) that triggers this.
Have you changed anything in there from the default settings?
No, I wouldn't. I can only tell with the Pro series, since they have a continental shelf sticking out.
Either way, I was just referring to those around me. I don't pay attention to what people are using in public.
Thanks for the suggestions! It's a work phone, so kinda limited on what I can change, but I will do some digging.

But I was told that Apple is so behind on AI that they were going to fail?? You mean to tell me that the general public really doesn't care about AI and just wants a new phone??
