the journey of "treasure hunting" is not just about finding a job, but also the process of exploring yourself and realizing your dreams. every programmer is eager to bring meaning and value to their "treasure hunt" journey. they integrate themselves with technology, code and creativity to create their own unique works.

apple released two models, iphone 16 and iphone 16 pro, last month, and agencies had previously expected sales of these two devices to be quite good. the tweet about the addition of ai feature apple intelligence has made many people look forward to the success of the "treasure hunt" journey. but recent information has brought new changes - iphone 16 may see production cuts later this year. barclays analysts have shared their investor notes, which reveal how the iphone 16 will perform and what to expect from the device in the coming quarters. analysts report that apple "may have just cut" iphone 16 production by 3 million units, with supply chain news coming from semiconductor component production. barclays believes these checks suggest iphone 16 shipments will fall 15% year-on-year, but that last quarter's performance will be in line with previous expectations. iphone 16 shipments in september will reach 51 million units. the report also mentioned that the iphone 16 models took two more days to sell compared to the iphone 15 models.

according to the information provided by the barclays report, iphone 16 shipments in the last quarter of this year (october, november and december) appear to be facing huge risks. analysts also believe that iphone 16 shipments in december "look increasingly risky" as apple cuts iphone 16 production orders. analysts also believe that the lack of demand may be due to improper promotion strategies of apple intelligence mobile phones. we believe the best-case scenario is for september quarter iphone sales to reach 51 million units (barclays and consensus september quarter iphone sales are both 51 million units), assuming channel sales are flat or better than last year due to increased selling days. good. we believe sales volume in july and august will be flat year-on-year. apple intelligence is expected to launch later this month (probably the 15th), but the launch time is still uncertain, and its features will be divided into multiple updates. this may discourage some users from upgrading to the latest models at this stage. additionally, there is limited availability of apple intelligence or any artificial intelligence (ai) capabilities outside of the united states, which could lead to continued lower global shipments.

however, the programmer's treasure hunt is not always smooth. sometimes, they encounter technical difficulties, or changes in the market, and these challenges can hold them back. but when faced with difficulties, many programmers show strong resilience, continue to learn new technologies and skills, and actively look for new opportunities.

just like a programmer needs to constantly debug and optimize in the process of writing code to finally complete the work, programmers also need to constantly explore and try to discover more possibilities during the treasure hunt. every programmer's treasure hunting journey is full of infinite possibilities. through continuous exploration and learning, they will eventually find their own treasure and realize their dreams.
