iPhone 14 is not as popular as previous generations, but is a bit disappointing. In addition to the Pro version, which is also quite popular, other versions are not sold very well, especially the iPhone 14 Plus version that started selling a while ago, which requires "cheap" to be sold.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are not disappointed
This is actually related to the lack of sincerity of Cook . As we all know, since the absence of "Gangmaster Qiao", the updates of each generation of Apple have become increasingly lacking innovating. Now, we have started to squeeze toothpaste, and some of the functions that smartphones generally have are not arranged. Therefore, every generation of Apple fans can only continue to pursue processor updates to provide enough power.
From this latest generation, the appearance and performance of iPhone 14 are basically no different from iPhone 13, and there is not even Lingdong Island that has caused a wave of popularity. More importantly, the chip still uses the A15, which really makes people unable to raise the desire to buy. In comparison, the Pro version uses the A16 bionic chip, which performs much better.
iPhone 14 is also suspected of clearing inventory, so consumers are even more reluctant to pay this IQ tax. Based on the current sales situation, forecasting agencies believe that the sales of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will be much worse than the previous generation iPhone 13, and Apple may even cut orders.
iPhone 14 Pro is equipped with A16 chip and has functions such as Lingdong Island, so sales volume is expected to not drop much compared to the previous generation of iPhone 13 Pro, and it is also possible to increase.
iPhone 13 is popular again?
iPhone 14 Plus is basically a failure, and the third party is even 400 yuan cheaper than the official one. Moreover, because of the poor sales volume, news came out of the supply chain that Apple factory is redistributing the manufacturing volume of the labeled version, the Plus version and the Pro version. Some plus production lines have even been shut down, and workers have gone to help produce the Pro.
When the iPhone 14 was in a state of failure, an interesting thing happened at the same time - the iPhone 13 became popular again. Recently, we can see in the mobile phone list released on JD.com APP that iPhone 13's sales have increased dramatically in the past month, far exceeding iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, and have been the first in sales for 17 consecutive days.
Friends were stunned. Now they really couldn't laugh.
Originally, the iPhone 14 failed, and domestic mobile phone manufacturers were very happy. Apple was finally paying the price for its arrogance. They thought about harvesting IQ tax every day, and sooner or later they would be backfired. Now, their opportunity has come. People don’t love Apple, and there is a possibility of occupying the high-end market.
result disappointed them because even if domestic consumers are not interested in iPhone 14, they will not consider domestic high-end mobile phones. If they have more money, they will add some money to buy the iPhone 14 Pro. If their budget is not enough, they will take a step back and buy the iPhone 13 Pro. Anyway, their high-end mobile phones from their competitors will definitely not consider it.
After all, I'm afraid only Huawei can be better. Although it is not as good as Apple, the sales of Mate 50 are also very popular. However, Huawei mobile phone does not have self-developed chips and 5G functions now, so it is still a lot worse.
can only say that the competitors really can’t laugh at this time. Obviously, in the eyes of many consumers, the domestic high-end mobile phones in 2022 are not as good as Apple’s high-end mobile phones in 2021, which is really a slap in the face.
To put it bluntly, it is still because it has no core competitiveness. Many people complain that buying iPhone means buying a system and processor. This sentence is actually very reasonable. The poor domestic mobile phones are precisely these two aspects. So, it is time for friendly businessmen to reflect on it. If this continues, will they still have a chance to turn things around?
