iPhone โ16 Tops Future Purchase โRankings, Surprising Pro Model Preference -โ All about News
TOKYO, JAPAN – In a recent survey conducted by All About News, the โstandard iPhone 16 has emerged as the mostโค desired futureโ iPhone model, garnering 84 votesโข and outpacing expectationsโข by beating out the higher-end iPhone 16 โpro. The results, released today, reveal a shift in consumer preference towards a balance ofโ performance โand price, even amongst those eager to embrace โขthe latest technology.
The iPhone 16, slated for releaseโ in 2025, appeals to a โขbroad audience โwith its improved processing performance, enhanced battery life, and seamless compatibility with the latest iOS. While a basic model, it’s positioned as an accessible option โฃcompared to the more expensive Pro series.
“The balance between performance โand price seems to beโ good,” โcommented aโฃ female respondent in her 30s from Fukuoka Prefecture. Other respondents highlighted the iPhone 16’s ease of use (“The basic model ofโฃ the iPhone is easy toโค use” – โขmale, 40s, Saitama Prefecture) โand its practicality (“The most realistic of the latest models” – male, โ20s, Hokkaido).
The second-place model,detailed in the article,is not specified in thisโ excerpt but is noted to have received fewer votesโค than theโค iPhone 16.
Internet Service โGuide โขto “All About,” Banka, explained the surprising results, attributing the preference for the iPhone 16 to a desire for longevity and value. “In this โฃranking, the โฃiPhone 16โฆhave gainedโ popularity. The background to this result is the sense of security that ‘you can choose the newest model as much as possible and use it for โaโ long time,'” Banka stated.
He further noted the increasing cost of iPhones – oftenโ exceeding 100,000 yen – โand aโ growing recognition that theโ advanced features of the Pro models are often unneeded for the average user. “The โฃquality of photos and videos is suitable for professionals to create works, but for the โขaverage person, it is thought to be overspec,” banka added, emphasizing that the iPhone 16’sโค specifications โare “sufficient for all purposes.”
The survey included direct feedback from users, with one respondent (male, 40s,โ Kyoto Prefecture) stating the iPhone 16 “has high specs and looks like โขthey’re going to last a long time,” and another (male, 30s, Tokyo) appreciating the “lot of features that can be usedโค safely at work.”โฃ A female respondent in her 20s from Hyogo Prefecture simply stated, “I can enjoy all the latest technology.”
The full ranking, extending to 8th place, is available on the All aboutโข News website.
