T-Mobile Chief Executive Mike Sievert says it’s “nonsense” that the iPhone 16 line’s preorder sales are underwhelming.

The new iPhone 16 Pro has expanded, upgraded and powered-up elements like the cameras, display, chipset and battery compared to the older phone. But the iPhone 15 Pro still remains a powerful phone, sharing a number of elements. So the better phone and the better value phone of this duo may not be the same.

Samsung will pay $600 for the iPhone 15 Pro Max, whereas Apple is offering $650. Clearly a competitive move by a company that rarely engages in aggressive pricing tactics. There are also some interesting prices for older devices here, including $400 for the iPhone 13 Pro Max and $500 for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
