Apple, one of the successful players of the smartphone market, showcased the highly anticipated iPhone 14 models at the Future Time event held on September 7. Perhaps for the first time in its history, the US company has made the design and technical feature differences between the standard and Pro models so obvious. Apart from that, the two mini models were shelved on the grounds that they did not meet the expectations and Plus was replaced. However, this plan of the company did not work.
The claim that Apple has reduced the production capacity of the iPhone 14 Plus
The mini model, which first appeared in the iPhone 12 series, was shelved by Apple two years later. Instead, Plus, which we all know well and used between the iPhone 6 and iPhone 8 series, was brought. As it is known, Plus, unlike the standard model, offers users a larger screen and large battery capacity.
According to information from sources close to the company, the iPhone 14 Plus also failed to meet expectations. In fact, the company decided to reduce the production capacity of the phone due to the lower than expected demand in this two-month period. Apart from that, it is stated that Apple has instructed some of its suppliers to suspend component production for the Plus model.
The sales figures of the iPhone 14 are not yet at the desired level. The biggest reason for this is the technical feature and design differences between the standard and Pro models. As it is known, the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are powered by the Apple A15 Bionic used in the iPhone 13 models introduced last year. Although this chip is modified, it lags behind the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max that came with the A16 Bionic. Of course, the Dynamic Island design should not be forgotten.
