There’s high demand for all iPhone 17 models, but one is doing much better than the rest
Calling the iPhone 17 series fresh in terms of design would be a stretch, but apparently, people liked what Apple presented last week. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 17 preorders are stronger than those of the iPhone 16.
During the first weekend of preorders for the iPhone 17 series, the demand outpaced that of the iPhone 16 lineup. Kuo made his estimation based on the shipment delays for the new models and the production targets for the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max.
Apple’s estimated delivery times are about a week longer than they were at the same time last week. The production goals for the three iPhone 17 models are 25% higher for the third quarter of this year, compared to the same models in Q3 2024. Seeing a longer estimated delivery time despite the higher production output suggests higher demand for those three models.
The best-seller is once again the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
