Of all the iPhone 14 models, the most expensive version, the iPhone 14 Pro Max, has apparently been the most successful so far, which could have implications for Apple’s strategy regarding the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max next year.
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have very few upgrades over their 2021 counterparts, while the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max have a new front design with Dynamic Island. We should also mention the faster A16 Bionic chip and the main camera with a higher resolution.
Apparently, the demand for iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus is so low that Apple has allocated more production capacity to the Pro models, and according to famous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, nearly 60% of the total increase in orders for the Pro models is for the iPhone 14 Pro Max model. Is.
It shows that iPhone fans are okay with paying more for the features of the Pro version, and Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the popularity of the higher-end models could encourage Apple to make more of a difference between next year’s iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gorman recently said that he expects bigger changes next year with the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Some sources have indicated that only the iPhone 15 Pro Max (likely to be called Ultra next year) will feature a periscope camera for better zoom. Time will tell if this means the iPhone 15 Ultra will have a quad camera. Some unbelievable rumors suggest that the phone could have dual front cameras, 8K video recording, and increased base storage, and it might cost more than the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
The Pro models will most likely use the A17 chip, but given the current dispute between Apple and TSMC, it’s unclear whether it will be a 3nm chip.
Currently, the only difference between the iPhone 14 Pro and the Pro Max is the screen size and battery capacity. But with the iPhone 15 Ultra, the difference may be much greater.
In your opinion, Apple’s policies will eventually lead to the release of better and more premium but more expensive phones or not? Are you willing to pay more?
