Ming-Chi Kuo: demand for iPhone 14 Plus weaker than for mini, 14 Pro Max surpasses its predecessor

12 September 2022
Overall, the Pro models are doing better than the two non-Pro models, at least based on this early analysis.

Nothing New, 12 Sep 202214 and 14 plus are just garbage deal like what upgrades are... more14 will be about 1000€ in my country and you can find 13 Pro for 960€ already. (Speaking about third part stores, not official ones.)
Who in the right mind will go for 14 over 13 Pro lol.

    14 Plus - 1150 eur, only 60Hz screen, old SoC and without telephoto camera. LOL.

      14 and 14 plus are just garbage deal like what upgrades are getting over last year ? Satellite connection , extra year of software upgrade ? They could have at least added 120hz or put a16 but yeah looks like apple joined trend " throw everything into high-end models , base models are either reason to push people to buy them or money milkers " honestly just buy last year phones or pro models

        It makes sense.

        Outside US with the increase in prices, obviously first day buyers will go for the more expensive and biggest upgrades, the Pro ones.

        Later on the most sold will be the cheaper Iphone 14 one like last year.

          I saw this coming from a mile away.
          The normal 14s suck and, let's be honest with ourselves, most of the public think phones need to be smaller.

            Yukvgffh, 12 Sep 2022The 14 plus is a terrible deal, you can pay $100 for the pr... moreBut it's still 100$ more, and the display end up smaller than the 14 Plus.
            Samsung is kinda doing the same thing with the S22 Plus, it's essentially a bigger S22 which also affect the battery size, but the display is brighter, it gets UWB, Wi-Fi 6e and 45W, in my country there's a 200€ difference between the two.
            The price difference between the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus is 150€, smaller difference but there's less improvements over the 14.

              Yukvgffh, 12 Sep 2022The 14 plus is a terrible deal, you can pay $100 for the pr... moreWhich is why the demand is low for the plus. At that point the max just makes better sense, even if it is pricier.

                Anonymous, 12 Sep 2022In the end, 14 and 14+ will be best sellers. 14 will be best seller but 14 plus is closer to 14 pro max(difference unless i remember wrong is 200 dollars or 1/5th the price right?) that's the point

                    It makes sense because the vanilla iPhone 14 are just iPhone 13. Apple is still asking extra money for it especially in Europe. The vanilla iPhone 14 i expect them to do very bad in comparison to previous generations vanilla iPhones because the new generation vanilla iPhones are going to be just last generations vanilla iPhones since apple wants to make a distinction between the vanilla & Pro ones.

                    Best thing apple can do is just make an iPhone Pro mini

                      If you afford to buy ip4 plus why not just pro max? So 14 plus is pointless..

                        The 14 plus is a terrible deal, you can pay $100 for the pro with better screen, better cameras, newer chip and a 'newer' design

                          Instand Karma for Apple killing the IPhone mini!
