According to a new report, the iPhone 14 Plus seems to be more popular than the iPhone 13 Mini. The iPhone 13 Mini is kind of its predecessor, as the iPhone 14 Plus directly replaced the ‘Mini’.
The iPhone 14 Plus seems to be more popular than the iPhone 13 Mini
This information comes from Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC). The report basically shares info on panel shipments for specific Apple models, which gives us an idea of how popular they are.
The display shipments for the iPhone 14 Plus are up by 59% compared to the iPhone 13 Mini. The iPhone 14 Plus is still the company’s least popular iPhone 14 model, however, so keep that in mind.
In addition to this, the report shared all kinds of other interesting tidbits. The iPhone 14 lineup seems to be more popular than iPhone 13 models, though only slightly. The report claims we’re looking at a 2% improvement. This is based on info for April 2023, compared to the same period last year, of course.
The company’s ‘Pro’ models are still outselling the vanilla models
Now, the iPhone 14 Pro models are more popular than vanilla units. That is not surprising, as the same has been the case in previous years too. The sales of vanilla models are actually down by 36%, while the Pro and Pro Max sales are up by 22% and 23%, respectively.
It will be interesting to see how well will the iPhone 15 series do. All iPhone 15 models will include a Dynamic Island, and also Type-C ports. So the vanilla models will get a visual improvement compared to the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, which was not really the case last year.
Apple is expected to replace the physical buttons on the iPhone 15 Pro series with solid-state buttons. That won’t be the case with the vanilla models, however, they’ll keep their physical buttons for at least one more year.
