Every year, Apple phones will sell very well during the 618th period, because the price will plummet, which can save a lot of money compared to usual, and the product strength is also strong. Apple phones a few years ago can still be used for five or six years, and their service life is much longer than domestic phones, so even if the price is slightly higher, consumers are willing to buy it. This is the case this year, but there is a strange phenomenon that the iPhone 14 sells very well. Although it is not as good as the iPhone 16, it is much higher than the iPhone 15.
It is not complicated to say that the reason is not complicated, after all, the price is too fierce. The iPhone 14 618 has really dropped to the "floor price". It was already cleared and it can also be added to this year's national subsidy. The starting price is only 2,999 yuan, and even the top-end version of 512GB has also been reduced to 5,199 yuan. The price is relatively more affordable. You should know that the 512GB version of Apple phones is very expensive, which is 2,000 yuan more expensive than 256GB. It is also the lowest-priced 512GB Apple phone that can be bought at present, which can be called the optimal solution for "practical users".
But cheap is cheap, we have to be honest, it is not a new phone after all. iPhone 14 still continues the appearance designs of previous generations, including notch screen, aluminum alloy frames, and super porcelain crystal panels. These are not new things, but fortunately they can stand it, and are not fancy and pleasing to look at. The drop resistance and water resistance are also quite good, and the IP68 level is enough for ordinary users. However, compared with the small evolution of iPhone 15, such as Dynamic Island and USB-C interfaces, such as "old wine in new bottles", there is actually no essential improvement, so users simply turn around and buy the cheap 14.
In terms of core configuration, the iPhone14 is still equipped with the A15 bionic chip, which is the old friend who has used it on the iPhone13 Pro. Although it seems a bit "old" compared to the A18 on the iPhone 16, the actual experience is still stable. With the training of the iOS system, you will have no pressure to watch videos, take photos, and play games on a daily basis. Of course, it is a bit difficult for it to compare with the performance of the latest flagships in the Android camp. But then again, Apple user maps are never parameters, but a long-term and smooth experience.
Let's talk about the camera again. The imaging system of the iPhone 14 is not amazing in the Apple family. The main camera is still 12 million pixels, but the aperture, photosensitive element, and algorithm have been improved, especially in night and backlight environments. The filming effect is significantly stronger than that of the iPhone 13 generation. The newly added movie mode and sports mode also provide a lot of gameplay space for those who shoot videos. However, if you are the kind of user who pursues extreme images, you may still think it is almost interesting. After all, telephoto lenses are absent, so don’t expect it to have any breakthrough performance when shooting the vision.
