T-Mobile CEO Confident in iPhone 16 Sales

T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert is confident in the sales of the new iPhone 16, despite analysts' predictions that the phone would struggle due to the delay of Apple's much-hyped AI feature, "Apple Intelligence". The feature, which includes AI-powered writing and photo tools, as well as improved Siri capabilities, is not expected to be available until October.

• Sievert has stated that sales for the iPhone 16 are exceeding those of last year's model, with customers purchasing even the more expensive Pro and Max models.
• He attributes the strong sales to the new features in iOS 18 and the positive word-of-mouth reviews.

T-Mobile Defies Analyst Predictions

Despite the delayed AI feature, T-Mobile has seen strong demand for the iPhone 16, defying predictions from analysts who anticipated lower sales. The delay in the release of "Apple Intelligence" led to a dip in Apple's stock price after initial reports.

• While some critics questioned the phone's success due to the AI delay, T-Mobile's CEO maintains that the phone's sales are strong.
• He expects sales to remain strong even once the AI feature is available in October, as customers are likely to be eager to experience it.

T-Mobile Sees a Long-Term Buying Cycle

T-Mobile's CEO anticipates a longer buying cycle for the iPhone 16, due to the delayed AI feature and word-of-mouth reviews once the AI feature is available. He expects the phone to continue to be a popular choice for consumers.

T-Mobile's Positive Outlook on iPhone 16
