According to Kuo, the armor of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus is not very good.

reserves iphone 14 already open, but initial results will not be as expected. At least for part of Apple’s new family of smartphones. iPhone 14 Plus pre-sale and debut, Ming-Chi Kuo says This is not good.

A well-known analyst relied on Apple Store waiting times to deliver devices to customers. According to his analysis, waiting more than four weeks indicates good demand. In that sense, it ensures that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max have already surpassed that score with a delay of about five or six weeks.

Compared to the iPhone 13, Kuo ensures that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus they are not in a very favorable position. “The results of pre-orders for the iPhone 14 Pro Max, Pro, and the two standard models are good, neutral, and poor respectively (compared to the iPhone 13 series),” he explained.

That both devices are still showing up in the Apple Store with shipments scheduled for their original dates of September 16 for the iPhone 14 and October 7 for the iPhone 14 Plus reflects “sluggish demand,” the analyst said. But it doesn’t stop there, as it is also claimed that the pre-sale of these versions is still worse than the iPhone 13 mini and third generation iPhone SE in the respective releases.

Kuo believes that Apple could cut shipping forecasts for two ‘non-professional’ iPhone 14sunless you see a dramatic increase in sales when both products become widely available. That is, after the end of the reservation period. In any case, he mentions that if confirmed, the possible change will take effect from November.

Little interest in the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus?

Ming-Chi Kuo’s analysis reveals some truly amazing things. It’s true that information should be taken with tweezers, and we don’t expect Apple to confirm or deny this anytime soon. But if the data is accurate, it will be a wake-up call for those in Cupertino and their future segmentation plans.

The most striking, without a doubt, has to do with the iPhone 14 Plus. A new member of the Apple mobile device family has taken the place left vacant by the silent removal of the iPhone mini. And he did it with a more than interesting sentence: great screen, good camera and the best battery life ever seen on an iPhone. Perfect for those who craved a larger version without having to buy a Pro Max.

What the analyst does not mention is whether, according to his findings, the alleged initial lack of interest in this new model may be due to its late arrival to buyers. After all, this is the only version that will not be released to the public on September 16th.. It also does not indicate if this could have been motivated by its technical characteristics.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are missing some important features from the Pro and Pro Max models. Among them are the A16 Bionic chip – they use the A15 iPhone 13 Pro – a ProMotion screen, a new 48-megapixel camera, and a dynamic island that replaces the notch.
