2022 Winners and losers: Apple

24 December 2022
The only real loss for Apple in 2022 was that it couldn't keep up with demand.

'''People seemingly aren’t interested in a non-Pro large iPhone''

People seemingly dont want to spend a fortune for a non Pro iphone gsmarena,especially in Europe with the price hikes, especially if its underwhelming in terms of features.

Even you guys in your review mentioned thats its price is close to 13PM,which is an overall superior device,despite being 1year old.

That should tell why 14Plus was so bad.

    I would consider the iPhone 14 AND the iPhone SE series as losers since both have weak sales. And the SE is likely to be cancelled next year.

      Harryg, 25 Dec 2022Wrong answer They only gives you 5 yr Not 6 or 7No he's right and you are wrong, there's already iPads over 5 years running iPadOS16

It has more to do with product designs reserch/empathy factor then, software's sheshnaag AI, thing is back in those days everyone thought OS has to be superior, so blackberry could run 50 apps in backend, that's not what is actually expected, rather, everything has to run in backend all the time and bits/& small data is always executed called application (API), it's doesn't have to be superior for that like windows OS.

        Let's see an analogy in a contrast, let's say they made a nuke, but in the process harnessed a virus instead, they got what they wanted but they also got something else. Now everybody wants one so whosoever takes one has to handle the virus, let's say china failed, next had to be Pak and then India. So now we ll never know why the virus exist, what we do know is it has to be contained, similarly we could not know if something like a must evolved version of WP or BbOS would have been better then Androids and IOSs.

Still competitors charge less money. Now you do the math...

                  So happy with new M2 iPad Pro! and now i even got desktop quality video editing (davinci Resolve) for it. iPad is getting better and better.

                    When I had a Lumia, the interface looked much better than any other I've used then. The problem with WP was the lack of app support. While on my Blackberry Z10, android app support was present and apps worked well, but android had already become a popular OS by then

                      So disappointed they canceled the iPhone mini series. Please bring them back, Apple!!

                        iPhone 14 Plus is not a Loser.
                        Its just a bit pricey. But wait till 2023 and launch of iPhone 15 series. Users will then opt for iPhone 14 Plus; coz then it would be cheaper.
                        IMO, iPhone 14 Plus is an ideal iphone which will be a blockbuster as soon as the prices drop. (i'm waiting for it along with several others...!!!!!)
                        iPhone 14 Plus will be highest selling iPhone in the upcoming years (i.e. yr 2023-2025).

The problem was that app developers only care about Android and iOS, that's it. It's the same story we see with BlackBerry 10 OS.
