|October 17, 2025

According to recent market coverage, preorders for the iPhone 17 have surged, outpacing those of the iPhone 16. At the same time, overall global smartphone demand is holding strong—even in the face of rising tariffs and supply chain headwinds.
This momentum suggests Apple remains one of the strongest forces in consumer electronics, capable of navigating geopolitical and economic pressures while sustaining extraordinary levels of consumer interest.
STRONG PREORDER PERFORMANCE SIGNALS HEALTHY DEMAND
Early indicators show that iPhone 17 preorders are already surpassing last year’s iPhone 16 figures. Retail data points to particularly strong interest in higher-capacity models, reinforcing Apple's premium market positioning.
