iPhone 16 series first-weekend pre-order sales down 12.7% YoY from last year’s 15 series sales

Early this month, the Apple iPhone 16 series—which consists of the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max—was introduced to the world. On September 20, the new iPhones will go on sale. Right now they are up for pre-orders. Demand for the iPhone 16 Pro is lower than anticipated, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, with demand for the iPhone 16 Pro Max down 16% and for the iPhone 16 Pro down 27% from the previous year. But when compared to the iPhone 15 Plus from the previous year, pre-orders for the iPhone 16 Plus are up 48%.

Sales of the iPhone 16 series pre-orders are expected to reach 37 million units over the first weekend, down 12.7% YoY from the 15 series sales of the previous year, according to a report by Ming-Chi Kuo. With shorter delivery timeframes than the 15 Pro series, the iPhone 16 Pro series has seen lower-than-expected demand, which is the primary cause of this drop. First-weekend sales are down YoY, which is also indicative of the demand.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max‘s YoY growth is attributed to improved tetraprism camera production yields and Apple’s optimistic demand outlook. However, lower-than-expected demand is due to Apple Intelligence’s non-availability at launch and intense Chinese market competition, which continues to impact iPhone demand.

According to Ming, first-weekend sales of the iPhone 16 Plus and regular model rose year over year, but they had little effect on overall iPhone shipments. Although pre-order sales of the iPhone 16 Pro series saw a YoY dip, Apple is unlikely to make any changes to its production schedule very soon, he claims. Peak season marketing and Apple Intelligence can help the company increase sales; both strategies will be crucial in tracking shifts in the demand for iPhones, he suggested.

“Strategies such as adding a tetraprism camera to the 16 Pro and maintaining iPhone 16 series pricing have had a limited help to iPhone 16 first-weekend pre-order sales. Suppose Apple Intelligence releases in 4Q24 and peak season promotions have a limited effect on iPhone 16 shipments. In that case, I believe that Apple will implement more aggressive iPhone product strategies in 2025 to stimulate market demand,” he said.

In the rapidly evolving entertainment industry, collaborations like these highlight the trend towards integrated services that offer value beyond traditional offerings. It’s an interesting development that could set the tone for future partnerships between telecom providers and content platforms.

How to enable RCS messaging on iPhone (iOS 18)

The addition of RCS to iOS 18 is great news for cross-platform messaging. Earlier, iOS to Android messaging was severely hindered by low-quality media (due to iOS’ reliance on MMS), lack of typing indicators and read receipts, poor security, and more. This is bound to change now that iOS has adopted RCS. It won’t get rid of the blue bubble conundrum, but it is still a big step forward in terms of messaging experience. Here’s how you can check if your network carrier supports RCS messaging and how you can enable it on your iPhone (iOS 18).

What is RCS?

RCS, or Rich Communication Services, is a messaging protocol that was created as a successor to SMS (Short Message Service). Initially adopted by Android devices, RCS brought over the ‘rich’ features that were previously missing from the platform. This included support for video, images, and more. Now that Apple has added support for RCS, it does not rely on the much inferior MMS for sending and receiving media to and from Android devices. The result is an instantly better messaging experience. RCS also adds the following features which bridge the divide between iOS and Android messaging:

  • End-to-end encryption
  • Greater character limit for texts
  • Delivery and read receipts
  • Typing indicators
  • Multimedia support
  • Location sharing
  • Video calling support
  • Suggested replies, and more. 

Check if your network carrier supports RCS

Step 1: Go to Settings.

Step 2: Tap on General.

Step 2: Tap on General.

Step 3: Select About.

Step 2: Tap on General.

Step 4: Hit Carrier.

You can view the messaging details on the right. If it says Voice, SMS, & RCS it means that your network provider supports the feature. If it just says Voice & SMS, it means that the network provider has not yet rolled out RCS for iPhone.

Enable RCS messaging on your iPhone

Step 1: Make sure your iPhone is updated to iOS 18.

Step 2: Go to Settings.

Step 3: Select Apps.

Step 4: Tap on Messages.

Step 4: Tap on Messages. How to enable RCS messaging on iPhone (iOS 18)

Step 5: Tap on RCS Messaging.

Step 6: Turn on the toggle switch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I find out if my network carrier supports RCS on iPhone?

Go to Settings>General>About>Carrier and check if it says ‘Voice, SMS & RCS’ on the right. If it doesn’t, your network carrier does not support RCS.

How do I update my iPhone to iOS 18?

Go to Settings>General>Software Update and tap on ‘Update Now’.

How do I enable RCS in iOS 18?

Go to Settings>Apps>Messages>RCS Messaging and turn on the toggle switch.

Conclusion

This is how you can enable RCS messaging on your iPhone (iOS 18). Give your iPhone a quick reboot after enabling this feature to ensure its smooth functioning. iPhone models from XR and up support iOS 18, so you will need to upgrade your device if you own an older iPhone model.

Lava Blaze 3 5G Launched With Dimensity 6300+

Lava International is back, launching the Blaze 3 5G, a smartphone aimed at bringing a punch of power to the budget segment. Priced attractively at Rs 9999, this phone is not just about affordability—it’s about offering performance, aesthetics, and security to those wanting a premium experience without the premium price tag.

A Powerhouse in Your Pocket

The Lava Blaze 3 5G, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, claims to deliver blazing-fast performance—backed by a solid Antutu score of over 410k. Whether you’re a multitasker or a casual gamer, the 6GB RAM, coupled with an additional 6GB of virtual memory, ensures that the phone can handle most tasks thrown its way. Add to that the 128GB UFS 2.2 ROM, expandable up to 1TB, and storage concerns are virtually non-existent. And let’s not forget the 5000mAh battery, which supports 18W fast charging, ensuring you stay juiced up through the day.

The keyword here is “value.” With its MediaTek 6300 chip and a decent RAM setup, the Blaze 3 5G aims to provide a smooth performance experience, whether you’re switching between apps, scrolling through social media, or watching videos. It’s an entry-level phone with ambition.

Lava Blaze 3 5G 1

Design that Turns Heads

For those who care as much about looks as performance, the Blaze 3 5G sports an elegant glass-back design, available in Glass Gold and Glass Blue variants. But what truly sets this phone apart is its Vibe Light feature—a segment-first. This backlit design is more than just an aesthetic flair; it improves low-light photography and adds a vibrant touch to the smartphone experience, making it feel premium.

The phone’s 6.5-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate is a step up from what you’d expect in this price bracket, offering smooth visuals and decent viewing angles. The punch-hole design also adds a modern flair to the front of the phone, perfect for those who want a stylish, minimalist look.

Photography That Doesn’t Compromise

With its 50MP Dual AI rear camera and 8MP front shooter, the Blaze 3 5G doesn’t hold back on photography either. The Vibe Light feature is designed to improve lighting conditions, especially in low light, allowing users to take clearer and more detailed shots. For budding photographers and content creators, the phone offers the tools to create crisp, vibrant images—even in less-than-ideal conditions.

In video mode, the Vibe Light enhances the experience further by providing consistent lighting, making it a great option for those looking to dabble in vlogging or social media content creation.

Built for Safety

On the security front, Lava has upped its game. The Blaze 3 5G comes with a clean stock Android OS, free from bloatware and ads, providing a smooth and secure user experience. Features like a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, face unlock, and additional app lock capabilities offer a comprehensive suite of security measures. Moreover, the phone supports auto-call recording and an anti-peeping feature, ensuring your privacy is well-protected.

Lava Blaze 3 Price

For Rs 9999, the Lava Blaze 3 5G offers a lot more than you’d expect in an entry-level phone. The Vibe Light feature, combined with a strong MediaTek processor and decent camera setup, makes this phone a solid contender in the budget 5G segment. While it may not be the go-to for heavy-duty gaming or professional-grade photography, it strikes a fine balance between price, performance, and features—making it a compelling option for everyday users looking for something more stylish and feature-rich than the average budget smartphone.

Deepika Padukone Joins BGMI As A Playable Character And Brand Ambassador

In a bold partnership, KRAFTON India has announced that the internationally renowned actress Deepika Padukone will be featured as a playable character in BGMI, complete with two distinct character skins. This collaboration isn’t just about attaching a famous name to the game; it’s about fusing the vibrant energy of Indian cinema with the action-packed world of battle royale gaming.

Deepika Padukone in BGMI: A Unique Fusion of Cinema and Gaming

Scheduled for a one-year collaboration, the partnership will allow players to engage with Deepika’s in-game avatar, offering fans a new dimension of interaction. The character skins, designed to capture her iconic style, are poised to bring her fans a chance to see the superstar in a whole new avatar—literally. This isn’t KRAFTON’s first rodeo in partnering with celebrities; they’ve previously teamed up with stars like Ranveer Singh and Hardik Pandya, making Deepika’s addition a natural progression of their strategy to merge Indian entertainment with gaming.

Sean Hyunil Sohn, CEO of KRAFTON India, shared his excitement: “We are thrilled to partner with Deepika Padukone, a global ambassador and icon. This collaboration is an effort to bring fresh experiences to our players, uniting the worlds of gaming and entertainment.”

Deepika Padukone, in turn, expressed her enthusiasm for being part of this dynamic project. “Gaming has become a cultural phenomenon in India, and I’m excited to connect with the gaming community through this thrilling collaboration,” she said. She also hinted at the excitement around her in-game avatar, adding, “It’s an honour to be a part of something so dynamic and engaging.”

A Game-Changing Collaboration?

With gaming becoming more than just a pastime and establishing itself as part of mainstream culture, BGMI’s partnership with Padukone is a strategic move to further entrench itself as a cultural icon. KRAFTON’s localized approach to the Indian market has always been key to BGMI’s success, and this partnership builds on that foundation, bringing gaming closer to Bollywood fandom.

KRAFTON’s move to integrate Deepika Padukone into BGMI shows a keen understanding of their audience—both gamers and cinema lovers. It reflects how gaming has evolved into a cultural space where entertainment, fashion, and even celebrity influence now merge seamlessly. While it’s a smart way to keep the game fresh and exciting, only time will tell how deeply it will resonate with players. One thing’s for sure: this collaboration will add a cinematic touch to the battle royale action.

Comparison: All the countries where the iPhone 16 Series is cheaper than India

The iPhone 16 Series recently debuted in India. The starting price for the vanilla model is Rs 79,900. But let’s be honest: the device is far from ‘cheap’. Maybe only when compared to the premium models, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max.

The iPhone 16 is more reasonably priced in other countries than it is in India. The cost of the iPhone 16 in each country is influenced by various regional market factors like taxation, import duties, currency exchange rates, delivery costs, customer demands, and more.

Countries such as Dubai, the United States, the UK, Hong Kong, China, the United Kingdom, and others are offering the iPhone 16 for substantially less.

So, if you plan to travel overseas soon, or know someone who does, it is a great idea to purchase an iPhone from Apple’s current lineup and bring it back to India. You will be saving a lot of money

Note: There is no physical SIM card slot on the US models, therefore that will only function if you are using eSIM.

Once you’re able to access Gemini Live on your phone, you can have voice conversations with it. You can choose from 10 voices, each having its own pitch and cadence. To use this conversational feature, the language on your device’s central settings must be set to English.
