iPhone 16 Series Pre-Orders Surge: Pro Models in High Demand, Apple Website Crashes

Apple's iPhone 16 series officially opened for pre-orders at 8 PM tonight, but the website crashed almost instantly due to overwhelming traffic. Many users encountered issues like website freezes and payment failures. Despite these technical hiccups, pre-order enthusiasm remains high, with the iPhone 16 Pro models emerging as the most sought-after.

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max shipping times have been pushed to mid-October, with the latest delivery date being October 16, almost a month delay from the official release date of September 20. In comparison, the standard iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus haven't garnered the same level of popularity. As of now, some regions still show September 20 delivery availability.

The iPhone 16 series features four models with the following starting prices: iPhone 16 starting at 5999, iPhone 16 Plus starting at 6999, iPhone 16 Pro starting at 7999, and iPhone 16 Pro Max starting at 9999.

The main difference between the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus lies in their screen size and battery life. The iPhone 16 boasts a 6.1-inch display with a maximum video playback time of 22 hours, while the iPhone 16 Plus comes equipped with a 6.7-inch screen and a maximum video playback time of 27 hours. Both models feature the A18 chip, a 48MP main camera with a 12MP ultrawide lens, and the new USB-C port (USB 2.0).

The iPhone 16 Pro series sees substantial upgrades in display size, performance, and camera capabilities. The iPhone 16 Pro screen has been upgraded from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max has gone from 6.7 inches to 6.9 inches, making it the largest iPhone screen ever. Both models support ProMotion adaptive refresh rate technology, reaching up to 120Hz, delivering a smoother visual experience.

In terms of battery life, the iPhone 16 Pro offers up to 27 hours of video playback, and the iPhone 16 Pro Max reaches a maximum of 33 hours, making it the iPhone with the longest battery life to date. At the core, both iPhone 16 Pro models are powered by the A18 Pro chip, and they feature a new 48MP fusion main camera. The ultrawide lens has also been upgraded to 48MP, enhancing overall imaging capabilities. Additionally, the iPhone 16 Pro series incorporates a faster USB-C port (USB 3.0).

Despite the website crashing, the iPhone 16 series pre-order excitement remains strong. The high demand for the Pro models once again underscores the appeal of high-end devices. For those eager to get their hands on the new models, they might have to be patient and prepare for a wait.
