That's it- the phones have to be even bigger next year! (from a sad Mini owner)
Sure hope we get another stab at a "smallish" new iPhone in the future
As pro models are proving most popular, perhaps Apple will realize there's a market for an iPhone 15 Mini Pro?
It would seem a great range: 15 Mini Pro, 15, 15 Pro Max
It's already known that the iphone 15 will get dynamic island, this was already known even before the 14 was released. Nothing new, and Apple is not reacting to anything. It's their standard business strategy to trickle down tech.
Take the sensor shift IS camera that was exclusive to the 12 Pro Max. Then the next year, it's standard for all the 13 models. Nothing new.
What's new is Apple staggering the SoC from now on, with the Pro (and presumable Ultra) models getting the latest chip, and the regular models getting a -1 version. TBH, Apple has quite a lead in SoC performance per watt anyway that imo this doesn't matter in the short term. And Apple now will use software to lock certain features from older models, even if they have the same SoC as the current one. Eg. Iphone 15 with A16 chip might have some feature that won't be available on the iphone 14 Pro.
Yet the more expensive Pro models are selling well. How does that jive with your theory?
The high class buying them, not the middle class.
People are tired of the same old crap they want something new hopefully the 15 is it
It's just BS data. I mean how are they even getting the 14 Plus? Or they just did it to artificially suppress trade in values later.
There are still a lot of rich people I guess? And they tend to struggle less and have to make sacrifices less than the poor…
By that logic, the 14 Pro should be selling less as percentage of "high class" is actually quite small. But it's selling more, meaning more people are actually buying the Pro models. Your theory just doesn't jive.The high class buying them, not the middle class.
In reality, Apple, like any luxury brand, tend to not be severely affected by economic events. People who can afford iphones are not people who have problems getting food on the table to begin with.
Bring back the mini for the 15. It’ll have the Dynamic Island as well since all iPhone 15 models will have it.
You know what they meant but instead you’re trying to start an argument. Apple isn’t your friend. Stop trying to carry water for them.
The mini is done. It completed its real mission, which is to accustom people into spending $800 for the regular iphone vs $700 (when the iphone 11 was launched). Now people unknowingly have &800 as the base price of iphones. Mission accomplished, time to go higher., Aka 14 Plus.
Isn't this fairly normal though? Don't the lower model iterations generally have lower sales to begin with?
That’s not the target market. The amount of people in that situation would be marginal at best.
Because no one wants it. lol. People pay the upcharge for Pro models. Apple screwed any chance of selling this model when they delayed it 3 weeks from the other models.
More like people don’t want to spend 700 hundred dollars on a phone that is considered right out of the gate as the cheap one.
What is the reason that dynamic island is only on the pro model?
Why isn't it offered on all the new iphone 14's?
When i see commercials, they only talk about the pro model and the island , guess that is the issue. not everyone needs that pro model and other than the dynamic island , no really good reason to upgrade unless u have a 3 yr old phone.
Oh, and still lightning cable lol, are u kiddin me.?
