As one of the worst sales records of Apple in the past two years, the launch of iPhone 14 Plus can be said to be terrible, and even suffered a break on the first day. The price of the third-party e-commerce is 400 to 600 yuan cheaper than the price of 6999 on the official website.
During the Double Eleven holiday, JD offered a price of 5,749, which was 1,250 yuan lower than the original price. Is such a price still worth buying?
First of all, the iPhone 14 Plus is the first time that Apple has introduced an iPhone model with the suffix Plus since the iPhone 8 series. Apple previously launched two generations of mini series to the fanfare of consumers, but the market did not meet expectations.
So this year Apple killed the mini line, replaced it with the Plus model and, since the small-screen flagship failed, introduced a cheaper big-screen iPhone.
Apple's wishful thinking is clanging, but its performance has backfired. The biggest problem is that Apple has implemented a strict configuration differentiation across the entire iPhone 14 series, which has always existed between the base and Pro series, but it is unprecedented in the iPhone 14 series.
For the first time, the iPhone 14 series uses the same processor as its predecessor in the base version, with very few upgrades. And on that basis,As Apple ramps up the upgrades to the iPhone 14 Pro series, it's easy to see that the iPhone 14 is really the cannon fodder of Apple's efforts to push the Pro series.
And it did,While the iPhone 14 series was sold as a base model, the Pro series enjoyed a boom that didn't last long.
The iPhone 14 Plus remains the same screen size as the iPhone 13 Pro Max at 6.7 inches. In terms of chip selection, the iPhone 14 Plus doesn't get the same iterative upgrade as the Pro series, but instead uses the same full-powered A15 as the iPhone 13 Pro series.
For many users, before Apple launched iPhone 14 Plus, they thought that this model would be promoted. But as a result, the iPhone 14 Plus still only has a 60Hz screen refresh rate, which is so unacceptable that many bloggers and UP owners say there is no need to buy it.
If the original price is 6999 yuan, even the broken price after the first release is not worth users to buy, because at the same price, users can buy the iPhone 13 Pro series models with stronger comprehensive strength from the third-party e-commerce, and there is no need for users to buy a model with a higher price but a big difference in experience.
The same goes for Apple's recently released iPad 10, which comes with an iPad Air 4 and an iPad Air 5, both of which have a much better experience than the iPad 10, but cost about the same.
However, all of this is based on the premise of 6,000 + yuan. During the Singles' Day, JD offers a special promotion, the price of iPhone 14 Plus is only 5,749 yuan, while the price of the iPhone 14 is only 5,300 yuan after the discount.
This makes the previously controversial iPhone 14 instantly more popular, with users paying just a few hundred yuan more to get a larger iPhone 14 at a lower price than the iPhone 14's official price of 5,999 yuan.
At that price, new features like ProMotion and pill screens, which the iPhone 14 Plus doesn't have, don't seem to matter.
After all, for the user, as long as the price is low enough, it is perfectly OK. Human eye complement frame; Price is king. In addition, the iPhone 14 Plus, thanks to its larger body and screen, has a strong performance in terms of battery life, and can release its performance more consistently than the iPhone 14.
At the same time, Apple has comprehensively improved the heat dissipation problem of iPhone. The single motherboard adopted by iPhone 14 Plus also makes the heat dissipation performance of the whole device very excellent. The biggest benefit of single motherboard is to be able to alleviate the chip in the high pressure state caused by heat accumulation problem, so that the performance of the machine release more durable.
In this way, the iPhone 14 Plus, which has been nearly sprayed to the bone, can be priced into an iPhone made for gaming.
