CIRP’s insights on the iPhone 16 model sales
CIRP has released a recently published report detailing the sales of iPhone models during the holiday quarter.
While the report does not present concrete sales figures, it instead analyzes the distribution of various models following the launch of the iPhone 16.
As per the findings, the iPhone 16 Pro Max continues to lead in popularity, yet the growth trends of other models present a more intriguing narrative.
