Among all the iPhones in the past dynasties, the iPhone 14 standard version may be the least popular generation. From a product perspective, the appearance of the iPhone 14 has not changed, its performance has been improved slightly, and its price has risen in disguise. Judging from the market situation, the mobile phone industry has been declining year by year, and Apple fans' ability to recharge their faith has also decreased. These two reasons combined ultimately resulted in the sales of iPhone 14 being much lower than expected.
But I really seriously doubt that the expensive iPhone 14 and iPad 10, which we think are actually deliberately increasing prices, leaving enough room for price reduction for the Double Eleven e-commerce festival. According to the news of the e-commerce platform, Cook finally compromised. The 128GB version of the standard version of the iPhone 14, Goudong's self-operated price has dropped from 5,999 yuan to 5,398 yuan, which is equivalent to a drop of 601 yuan in more than a month. The price reduction of
iPhone 14 to 5,000 yuan is a serious challenge for high-end Android phones. The digital circle is a very small circle, and many people will not carefully analyze what the difference between iPhone and high-end Android phones is, and they don’t even pay attention to what it has been upgraded. As long as the price is reasonable and the budget is just enough, we will choose to change the machine.
5,000 yuan is a hurdle. Once the standard version of iPhone 14 reaches this price, sales will completely explode - just like the iPhone XR of that year. The iPhone 14 standard version is not that bad, even if the appearance has not changed, it adds 2GB of RAM, introduces a better cooling structure, and a full-blooded A15 with slightly improved GPU performance.
If there is any regret medicine, I will not change from iPhone 11 to iPhone 13. The 6GB storage iPhone 14 can be used for at least two more years. As for the appearance design, I really don't care at all. To me, a mobile phone is just a daily tool, not a work of art to appreciate. The question is, is the iPhone 14 fragrant this time? Let me tell you my own opinion on high-end phones.
For high-end mobile phones, the role of "piling materials" is far less than that of product concepts and brand influence. Huawei is a typical example. For high-end mobile phones, there must be more "metaphysical" judgment criteria. Otherwise, it cannot be explained that the iPhone has been using 20W fast charging for so many years, but its market share has not been affected at all.
On the surface, the iPhone's status is unshakable because of A-series chips and iOS. But in my opinion, the biggest advantage of the iPhone is in its product philosophy. For example, the iPhone 14 does not "roll" fast charging, but optimizes battery life by improving chip energy efficiency, allowing users to "forget charging". To put it bluntly, fast charging technology is also born to solve "battery anxiety", but Apple has a different way to solve it.
You will find that for the same needs, Apple often has a unique set of solutions. For example, the requirements for unlocking mobile phones and identity recognition, using fingerprints for Android, and using Face ID for Apple, are the same on the surface. However, Face ID is not limited to face recognition, it can also achieve three-dimensional modeling of faces, thereby realizing the gameplay of "message videos".
In short, I think the iPhone 14 after the price reduction is very good. In addition to the advantages of core performance, its product concept is also very important, which is enough to make up for other hardware shortcomings. What do you think about this? Welcome to discuss together.
