Apple Reportedly Expects iPhone 14 to Sell Better Than iPhone 13

[djcerla]

I think the iPhone 14 is going to be 1st fail for an iPhone.

Reasons: Old SOC, no latest display cutouts, no 120hz refresh rate which even low end androids have, no USB-C. Apple can’t keep the carrot dangling forever. Something’s gotta give in.

Nope. The big screen non pro will make up for all of that, and some.

most people are on a 2 year replacement schedule.

It's been closer to 3-year for a while now

USB C and I'll switch from Android

Totally this. Waiting for USB-C and AoD and I'm back on iPhone boat again. These are only two things keeping me at Android.

As with the past couple of years, I don’t see any killer features and if I upgrade or not will depend entirely on some great trade-in promo.

 

[true god]

Sure, after 13 gets crippled with some iOS updates.

iPhone is so far ahead of all smartphones that to own anything else for the most important product in your life is stupid. Obviously people are starting to realizing this. In addition, the latest and greatest(pro max) is becoming the must have. It’s now a consumer staple containing all your life’s vitals.

I hope you are kidding. My Gf calls me an apple fan boy, have iphone, iwatch,ipad, air pos,air tags,macbook pro. I have said this once and I will say it again Apple sells products that are just good enough and in most cell phones offering they are actually behind the curve. If everything didnt work so well together, I will go with a Samsung products.

I’ll be disappointed if there’s no mini option this year. Although, due to working from home now, I’m using my phone for Microsoft Teams and emails each day, so the battery life isn’t great for what I use my 12 mini for.

I’d love a much bigger battery in a mini iPhone, but it looks like I’ll have to get the 6.1 inch iPhone 14, even though I’ll struggle to hold it lol. I also need more storage, as my 12 mini is running out of space.

iPhone Pro is a fake product line created to drum up prices.

Just upgraded from 11 Pro Max to S22 Ultra and I can confidently say Samsung have already outclassed Apple in design. No notch and the screen flows to the side in such a way as if there is no bezel at all. Apart from the SOC there really isn't any compelling reason to stay iPhone anymore.

yeah, I'm bumping from 12 Mini to 13 Mini as soon as they dip in price this fall. If it's going to be my only phone for the foreseeable future, I suppose I've got to at least have the better battery.

Just bought my girlfriend a pink iPhone 13. How much different 14 is gonna be?

Not much different but the price is definitely will go up big time. Apple will never absorb inflation cost - they will pass it onto the buyer.

The display on the S22 Ultra is reason enough to upgrade.

I don’t think the slight increase in battery life between the 12 mini and 13 mini would be good enough for me. I am thinking about maxing out on storage (I want at least 1TB), so I don’t have to worry about storing things on my phone (I want to store my Apple TV/iTunes Store purchases locally). That might mean that I have to get a 14 Pro, but I don’t care for the extra camera features at all.

It's more than slight! The battery in the 12 Mini was barely adequate; the 13 Mini embiggened it past the stock 12

Oh okay, thanks. I actually got a 12 when it first came out, but returned it because it was too big for me. I’ll have to research this after the new phones have been announced.

I want some of whatever Apple is smoking.

Apple Reportedly Expects iPhone 14 to Sell Better Than iPhone 13

Isn't that how it usually works?

Apple expects iPhone 14 to sell better than iPhone 13
Apple expects iPhone 13 to sell better than iPhone 12
Apple expects iPhone 12 to sell better than iPhone 11


If you don't expect a new product to sell better than the previous version, then you're doing it wrong.

And don’t forget the price tag. It is said that they will increase it. With these rumored specs they should lower the price if they want too keep feedin’ the cow…

Y’all are overthinking this. The reason the iPhone 14 will outsell the iPhone 13 is simple…most people are on a 2 year replacement schedule. The iPhone 12 was a blockbuster product because of the inclusion of 5G and those phones are nearing replacement.

2 years replacement for what? An iphone 13 does exactly the same on day to day than iPhone XS, X and even 8… Same apps and almost same experience (interface etc.).
More and more people are beginning to realize that its not necessary to buy the last iPhone because of that.

 

[qnssekr]

Not excited about the iPhone 14. Im coming from a 12 pro and plan on buying a 13 mini.

 

[Max Powers]

Water is also wet.

LOl, exactly! What else are they going to say?

I'm on a 4 year schedule so I won't be upgrading my 12 until the 16 comes out 🙂

LOL my exact first though also

 

[turbineseaplane]

Would they actually say "we expect it to sell less than the 13..."?

Is this what counts as news now?
lol

Yeah exactly.

That's the analysts job, like clockwork every year.

Apple cutting production - Stock drops

Apple increasing production - Stock rises

 

[compwiz1202]

Depends on how motivated all of the carriers are with their deals? I get almost weekly notifications from Verizon offering a new IPhone 13 for basically free if committing to a new contract. Keeping my 11Pro until everything is revealed in September.

Exactly. I have absolutely no idea if I want to upgrade until the reveal.
