Huawei's new smartphone has more than 3 million preorders as Apple launches its new iPhone

The Chinese smartphone maker has outpaced Apple in China since releasing its Mate 60 Pro smartphone series

Lol. Sales stats for the iPhone 16 and Pro aren't out yet, or at least I couldn't find any. Will update this post once the numbers are out.

who the fuck preorders a PHONE?
- Me. $350 off and $100 worth of storage upgrades on a Pixel 9 pro was worth it for me. Phones now are expensive as fuck but getting a ~40% discount on a brand new product made it easier to accept.
  
  Pixel 9? Fuck I'm getting old.
- I think that's pretty reasonable? If there are good offers for pre-ordering, why not?
  
  Way better than pre-ordering video games. But that's a pretty low bar anyways.
  
  It's OK for Google to massively overcharge for Phones, it's only bad when Apple does it.
Apple is getting their butt handed to them in china. Very nice.
- what sanctions does to a mfer 🤣
  
  I wish they got sanctioned into oblivion.
- I'm sure big daddy government will protect apple from having to compete in a real marketplace.
