JPMorgan has provided insights into Apple's iPhone 16 sales performance, indicating that delivery lead times for the entire iPhone 16 lineup have moderated, particularly for Pro models. Analyst Samik Chatterjee noted that while demand for the iPhone 16 is comparable to that of the iPhone 15 in 2023, the initial sales for the iPhone 16 series started slower than its predecessor. Despite a modest recovery in sales, it remains insufficient to surpass last year's figures. As a result, JPMorgan anticipates that Apple will exceed expectations for its September quarter results but will guide below consensus for the December quarter. The earnings report is expected after the market closes on Thursday, with expectations that the upcoming iPhone 17 will generate stronger demand than the iPhone 16.
