Well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has released forecast information about the iPhone 14 series again, this time about the market. Ming-Chi Kuo said that judging from the results of his latest survey of Chinese dealers, retailers and scalpers, the demand for the iPhone 14 series in the Chinese market may be stronger than iPhone 13, and they have to pay "the largest prepayment deposit in history for iPhone 14" ā to ensure stable supply. At the same time, according to analysis and forecasts by parts suppliers and logistics experts, shipments of the iPhone 14 series are expected to reach 100 million or 90 million units in the second half of this year.
To sum it up in one sentence: In the Chinese market, the iPhone 14 series will be more popular than the iPhone 13 series.
has revealed that the iPhone 14 series includes four models: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Among them, the first two models have a screen size of 6.1 inches, while the latter two models have a 6.7-inch screen size. If in the end it is as predicted by Ming-Chi Kuo and the iPhone 14 series is a big success, then I think the main "credit" is likely to be on the two models of iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
First of all, there should be no doubt that iPhone 14 Pro Max will become a hot model, because based on the previous two generations of models, Pro Max has always been the most popular model besides the 6.1-inch standard model. Moreover, this yearās iPhone 14 Pro Max will also receive a huge upgrade. The appearance will be changed from a notch screen to an āexclamation markā punch-hole screen. The screen refresh rate range will be upgraded to 1-120Hz. It will also bring the long-awaited āInteractive Screen Displayā function. . On the camera, the rear main camera has been upgraded to 48 million pixels, adding 8K video recording function, and the front lens has added autofocus function. In addition, fast charging and battery life will also be upgraded.
As for the iPhone 14 Plus (previously revealed to be the iPhone 14 Max), although it is not a big upgrade based on the news, there is no new appearance, no new chip, no high refresh rate, and no screen-flat display function, but its positioning is very precise. , targeting large-screen mobile phone users who do not have high configuration requirements and have relatively limited budgets. In addition, compared with the previous iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini, the new iPhone 14 Plus also makes up for the two shortcomings of not having dual SIM cards and battery life. At the same time, as a brand new model, it should also have a natural advantage in attracting attention.
As for the 6.1-inch iPhone 14, which is also the standard version, I personally am not very optimistic about it. There are almost no highlights and there are no obvious changes in the body specifications. It may be difficult to impress consumers. In my opinion, the biggest role of its appearance may be to make the iPhone 13 more worth buying. After all, it does not bring any upgrades or differentiation, and the price of the iPhone 13 is more attractive.
Finally, a brief summary is that well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and some parts suppliers and logistics people have expressed optimism about the performance of the iPhone 14 series in the Chinese market, and Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the iPhone 14 series may be more popular than the iPhone 13 series. So, do you think the iPhone 14 series will be successful?
