There are still two months left before Apple’s autumn conference. Many revelations about iPhone 14 have spread all over the world, and everyone has great expectations for iPhone 14. At this time, the famous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealed the news: the demand for iPhone 14 in the Chinese market may far exceed iPhone 13.
Anyone who has paid attention to the sales list of single mobile phone products should be impressed by the strong performance of iPhone 13. For several months, iPhone 13 has continued to rank first in sales of single mobile phone products, and has few rivals in the high-end market. That being the case, why do insiders think the demand for iPhone 14 can far exceed that of iPhone 13?
Ming-Chi Kuo’s conclusion comes from market research. He found that many dealers paid the highest prepayment deposits in history in order to ensure stable supply of iPhone 14. Based on previous revelations about the iPhone 14, I think the reasons why insiders are optimistic about the iPhone 14 series can be divided into three points.
First of all, every time Apple releases a large-screen model, there will be a surge in sales. iPhone 6 series is the most typical example. Since the screen size has increased from 4.0 inches in iPhone 5S to 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches, iPhone 6 series has become the best-selling smartphone in history, with sales of 224 million units, almost as much as iPhone 5S. 4 times.
As we all know, the iPhone 14 series will launch a large-screen model, which is the iPhone 14 Plus. Although it still uses the A15 processor, the screen size has been increased to 6.7 inches, and the memory has been upgraded to 6GB. The price is expected to start at 6,799 yuan. If nothing unexpected happens, the iPhone 14 Plus will repeat the sales myth of the iPhone 6 series.
Secondly, the iPhone 14 series not only provides a cheap large-screen version, the Pro series also changes the ID design, which is the legendary pill hole screen. Aesthetics aside, from iPhone X to the present, Apple has been using a notch screen design, and Apple fans have long been tired of it.
I have to say that at the moment, appearance design is an important factor in attracting consumers to change their mobile phones. Nowadays, the progress of mobile phone chip has slowed down, and the interaction design of the system has become mature, so it is difficult to make any big changes. If the new iPhone can bring some freshness in appearance and improve its recognition, it will undoubtedly give hardcore users a reason to change their phones.
Thirdly, and most importantly, the reason why many senior Apple fans hold back from changing their phones is because Apple’s three consecutive generations of standard versions have come with 4GB of storage as standard. The author is one of those who switched from iPhone 11 to iPhone 13. Judging from personal experience, even with the optimization of the iOS system, 4GB of storage is not enough.
For example, I often receive a chat message notification while playing games, and then switch APP to reply. In just ten seconds, the game background was automatically killed. Hardware bottlenecks cannot be solved by system optimization. This phenomenon does not exist on 8GB Android phones. You can even use split-screen mode to operate two mobile games at the same time.
Not only that, because the mobile phone GPU does not have independent video memory, but needs to be called from the running memory. The 4GB running memory has begun to be unable to meet the stable operation of some 3D high-definition mobile games. Genshin Impact and Peace Elite have encountered background killing. phenomenon, the only solution is to reduce the image quality.
Therefore, no matter how strong the gaming performance of the A-series chips is, it will be in vain if the storage capacity is insufficient. The entire iPhone 14 series starts at 6GB, which in theory will greatly alleviate the phenomenon of background killing and improve the stability of large-scale mobile games, which is equivalent to enhancing performance in disguise.
In summary, I think the demand for iPhone 14 in the Chinese market far exceeds that of iPhone 13, which is a very accurate judgment. With the support of the three major selling points of the 6.7-inch large screen, the exclamation mark punch-hole screen, and 6GB of storage, the sales of the iPhone 14 series are unlikely to disappoint.
