An analyst suggests that Apple's iPhone 16 upgrade cycle may be slow due to lower-than-expected first-weekend preorders, around 13% below iPhone 15 levels, attributed to a delay in the release of AI-related features. The gap between hardware launches and software availability could hinder sales, especially in Europe and China. The analyst predicts the AI upgrade cycle will take time and may not drive significant consumer upgrades compared to past generations.
