iPhone 16 base models reportedly struggle in early sales

Apple iPhone 16 and 16 Plus might not be as popular as its iPhone 16 Pro counterparts. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shares his initial reports on shipment updates for the new iPhones. He sees demand for the base iPhone 16 models as "lacklustre," while the iPhone 16 Pro models see orders comparable to the iPhone 15 Pro.

It doesn't seem to affect production much, though. Kuo says assembly orders for all four phones remain mostly the same. There's only a "negligible" 3-5% reduction of component orders for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. Production estimate for the iPhone 16 devices in the fourth quarter of 2024 is around 88-89 million units (slightly lower than last year's 90-91 million units).

Apple final iPod nano and iPod shuffle are now obsolete

Apple has added the final iPod nano and iPod shuffle models to its obsolete products list, marking the end of Apple's iconic music players. The company last added new colour options for the seventh-generation iPod nano and fourth-generation iPod shuffle in 2015. And those are the models that are now considered obsolete. Apple discontinued its iPod nano and shuffle line in 2017.

Apple considers products "obsolete" once seven years have passed since they stopped distributing them for sale. When these devices become obsolete, they are no longer eligible for repair at an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. (The only exceptions are MacBook battery replacements for up to 10 years.)
