Apple’s new iPhone 16 is anticipated to drive a significant upgrade cycle, according to Ben Bajarin, CEO of Creative Strategies. He expects the phone’s value proposition, particularly the base model, to entice a large number of users with aging iPhones to upgrade. This could potentially lead to a supercycle, similar to those experienced with previous iPhone releases. Bajarin’s optimism stems from the iPhone 16’s packed features, aggressive carrier updates, and the growing popularity of the iPhone Pro.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 16 launch is expected to be a significant event, with Wedbush analyst Dan Ives predicting a major upgrade cycle driven by AI integration. He forecasts strong sales, with shipments potentially exceeding 90 million units, and believes Apple will become a key player in the consumer AI revolution.
