The previous year, Apple launched the small-screen iPhone 12 mini. After the release, the sales performance of this phone was very poor. The sales of the iPhone 12 series only accounted for 5%. Although the subsequent sales performance of iPhone 13 mini has improved, But it's still not ideal. So this year, in the iPhone 14 series, Apple cut off the small screen product line and reopened the large screen Plus product line in order to achieve higher sales.
But what Apple can't imagine is that after the release of iPhone 14 Plus this year, it still has a cold show. Among the iPhone 14 series, the number of reservations for iPhone 14 Plus is still very unsatisfactory, and it is the lowest number of reservations among the four iPhone 14 series mobile phones with the lowest number of reservations among the four iPhone 14 series phones with the lowest number of reservations. This shows that a large screen alone cannot solve the problem of low sales. So, what are the problems with the iPhone 14 Plus?
First of all, the price of iPhone14 Plus is really expensive. The starting price of the 128GB version is as high as 6999 yuan. Compared with iPhone14, it only has a difference in size, but it is 1,000 yuan more expensive. Compared with the high-end iPhone14 Pro, the price is only 1,000 yuan less. Moreover, a 7,000 yuan mobile phone is a two-month salary for most ordinary people, so of course they won’t buy it easily. For rich people, they will definitely go directly to the iPhone 14 Pro. It is reasonable that the iPhone 14 Plus has a low sales volume.
Secondly, iPhone14 Plus is not only expensive, but also has a low cost performance. This year's iPhone 14 Plus is equipped with Apple A15 processor. Although it is a five-core GPU full of blood, it is a big regret for ordinary users not to use the latest Apple A16 processor, and the four-core GPU and five-core The performance gap between the Apple A15 processor with GPU is really small. It is as good as the iPhone 13 mini that costs 4,699 yuan to the iPhone 14 Plus that costs 6,999 yuan, and the appearance is exactly the same. The processors are all Apple A15, but the price of iPhone 14 Plus is better than that of iPhone 13. The mini is one-third higher, but the biggest improvement is only for a larger screen.
Again, the iPhone 14 Plus will feel a little worse. Apple's current right-angle frame design is more suitable for small-screen phones, which is not suitable for large-screen phones such as iPhone 14 Plus. With a 78.1mm body width + right-angle frame design, it is easy to feel discomfort on the hands after using it for a period of time. Of course, this problem is not only available on the 14 Plus, but also on the Pro Max, and it is the same for every generation, so many people would rather choose the Pro version than the Pro Max.
Overall, iPhone14 Plus is not suitable for purchase. Like the previous generation of iPhone13 mini, it plays a "tool" role. However, the iPhone 13 mini plays a role in lowering the price, making users more willing to choose Apple phones. This year's iPhone 14 Plus paves the way for the iPhone 14 Pro, making people feel that spending 1,000 yuan more can get a lot. If you want to buy an iPhone recently, if you don’t have a budget, just choose iPhone13. If you have a sufficient budget, just use iPhone14 Pro. iPhone14 and iPhone14 Pro are really not that good. So, what do you think of the iPhone 14 Plus?
