has been several days since the Plus version was launched on October 7, but sales have been very low, and the issue price was broken on the day of the sale. The Pinduoduo platform can be 500 yuan cheaper, and merchants in the Electronic City can also give a discount of about 400 yuan. The most unlucky one is the scalpers, who worked hard to store the goods and finally had to lose money to make a move. Even scalpers who lose money on the iPhone 14 Plus can make money back on the Huawei Mate 50 series, which is quite magical.
On the contrary, iPhone 14 Pro has always been very popular. It is reported that the second batch of shipments of the aircraft has been scheduled to mid-October, and there are no discounts on third-party channels, and price increases are still common. In contrast, iPhone 14 Plus can be picked up on the same day at Apple direct store . You can get it by purchasing it through the official website in just about 3 working days, which shows that the inventory is very sufficient.
All facts show that the iPhone 14 Plus is not welcomed by everyone. From the perspective of players, the Plus version is actually not essentially different from the iPhone 14, but the screen size and battery capacity are larger. The chips are full-blooded A15, the lenses are 12 million pixels, and they are both traditional notch screens and 60Hz refresh rate. This means that the irreplaceability of Plus is extremely low. If you want to be cheaper, it is better to buy a second-hand iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is much better than the iPhone 14 Plus anywhere.
I'm afraid, this wave of operation is Apple's "smartness is wronged by cleverness." Originally, Apple thought that more players with limited budgets but liked large screens would buy the Plus version, so the Plus was very accurate, with the size of the large screen, and there was no other advantageous configuration. Unexpectedly, this precise knife technique would not make players buy it at all, because the market is no longer the era of "Apple-only". Furthermore, the two cheaper versions and the two expensive versions are simply different. The iPhone 14 and Plus are simply insulting IQ, so everyone doesn’t catch a cold.
Although the hot sales of iPhone 14 Pro have increased the expectations of this series, it should be noted that the Pro series has higher profits in the short term, and the sales volume is large enough to make up for the problems caused by insufficient demand for the iPhone 14 series. But in the long run, Apple cannot be too happy too early. If this situation continues in the future, then Apple is likely to lose a lot of mid-to-high-end markets, and the range of around 5,000 yuan may be seized by Samsung , and even in the Chinese market, brands such as Xiaomi and OPPO will be given certain opportunities.
Therefore, the iPhone 14 series can be said to be Apple's milestone magic operation. The result of too much focus on profit is that it loses its original intention. To be honest, if , Jobs, , was still alive, I'm afraid that things like iPhone 14 Plus would never have appeared, and even the mini version could only stay on the design drawings.
