Apple released a larger iPhone for the first time this year, without the pro features of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 Plus is therefore just a larger version of the regular iPhone 14, with the same camera, specs, design and more. Only the screen is larger and the battery life is longer, making this device especially suitable for people who find those two aspects most important and, for example, don't care about the camera. But recently there have been reports that there is less enthusiasm for the iPhone 14 Plus than Apple had thought. And according to a source, this may have consequences for the successor.
‘iPhone 14 Plus is a problem child, successor will be cheaper’
The previous sources on the sales performance of the iPhone 14 Plus stated that Apple would have stopped production because there is less demand than first thought. That means that Apple first wants to let stocks dwindle before new copies roll off the assembly line. The new information comes from yeah1122, a rumored hottie on Naver. He has made statements in the past that turned out to be correct. However, he is not always right.
In a recent blog post, he explains what Apple may be doing for the successor to the iPhone 14 Plus. The simplest measure for the successor is if Apple lowers the price of the iPhone 15 Plus. The price difference between the current iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Plus is only €160 (€310,- if you compare it with the iPhone 14 Pro Max), while with the iPhone 14 Pro you pay much more extra. get functions. By offering the successor to the iPhone 14 Plus cheaper, the device could be more interesting for a larger target group. But that would also mean that the price of the successor to the regular iPhone 14 would have to be lower, otherwise the price difference between the 6.1 and 6.7-inch model would be too small.
It is not inconceivable that Apple will make the price of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus lower than it is now. This year, Apple charged the same price for the iPhone 13 in Europe as a year earlier after the release of the iPhone 14, making the new iPhone 14 a lot more expensive. So there is room to drop the price of the iPhone 14 next year, when the iPhone 13 disappears from the range. That also gives the iPhone 15 more room for a lower price tag.
No indications for iPhone 15 mini
Apple chose last year to replace a mini model with a Plus model. The decision was mainly made because the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini sold less well than Apple expected. But with the iPhone 14 Plus, according to reports, that is not much better, although we do not know exact figures because Apple does not disclose them. However, there are no reports or indications that Apple will opt for an iPhone 15 mini again next year.
