When we ran a poll before the keynote, more than 9,000 of you voted, and almost exactly half of you said that you didn’t plan to buy an iPhone 16.
Among those who did, the iPhone 16 Pro Max was the clear leader, with the two base models seeing almost no love at all …

Based on these polls every year (which I acknowledge will be somewhat skewed because of the website content), I continue to think the Plus model only sticks around as a loss leader and not because people actually buy it. It gives people a reason to think "well for only $100 more I can get the Pro so I'm getting a deal."
Here’s what we saw in terms of pre-keynote plans (rounded to the nearest whole number, hence the missing one percent):
| Nothing | 50% |
| iPhone 16 Pro Max | 26% |
| iPhone 16 Pro | 19% |
| iPhone 16 | 3% |
| iPhone 16 Plus | 1% |
But now that you know the full details of what’s on offer, did you find yourself changing your mind and placing a preorder?
For my part, I ordered the iPhone 16 Pro Max just as I expected, though with even greater motivation. How about you? Please take our poll, letting us know what, if anything, you ordered – and share your reasons in the comments.
