In September, the most notable model was the iPhone 14 series. iPhone 14pro was hailed as the biggest upgrade in recent years.
Let's start with the upgrade points of the iPhone 14pro: a tablet screen for better image recognition; a 12-million-year-old camera for better video shooting 48 million years ago; and an A16 processor with a better power consumption ratio. The rest of the hardware is just a minor upgrade, nothing special.
Admittedly, the iphone 14pro is a flagship model, with chips such as the A16 even two generations earlier than Android. However, the iPhone 14pro has several fatal flaws, and this article may be an exit strategy if you want a better experience.
Discourage a: the price of nearly 10,000 yuan, after all, is a luxury
Keep in mind that the iPhone 13pro starts at $7,999 (128GB version), much more expensive than the flagship Android phone, but bite the bullet. Cook, being the savvy businessman that he is, slashed the 128GB version from 256GB and raised the price of the iphone 14pro to $9,899 via upgrades and an A16 chip shortage! While this could also be Apple's smoke and mirrors, the actual final price is appropriately lowered to keep everyone happy, but it won't start below $8,999! With money and a big budget, the iPhone 14pro is the right choice! But if you don't have the money, there's no point in sticking with the iPhone 14pro. After all, you're using the same apps every day and the experience is the same (unless you want to brag about it)
Getting used to the iPhone does not seem to be a dissuasion. But I think it's a downside to still having a lightning connector in a nearly $10,000 model. It even makes the iPhone 14pro less high-end. First of all, one of the drawbacks of the lightning is the slow charging speed. After all, several generations of iPhones can't be charged quickly, while the iPhone 14pro can actually withstand a charge of more than an hour. But another drawback is the slow transfer speed, which makes upgrading the iPhone 14pro's camera a hassle. Note that the iPhone 14pro has 48 megapixels of 8-k video, which will take up more space to store photos and videos, and the lightning speed may make you wait a while. neither WiFi nor Apple's airdrop will save much time. Note: Apple airdrops 200MB of files in about 1 minute and 30 seconds. Simply put, if you buy a 48MP 8K video iPhone 14pro, it won't be very effective due to the lightning connection.
In addition, the iPhone 14pro will continue to use Qualcomm 5G baseband, the network signal will not be much improved. Meanwhile, although the energy ratio in the A16 chip has improved, the A15 chip has a very good energy ratio, so the experience will not be greatly improved. In addition, iPhone 14pro does not have any heat sink, so the gaming experience is limited.
