The iPhone 14 ProMax once again lowered its price by 2000 yuan, but the reason for the sharp drop was Apple itself

The iPhone 14 ProMax, as Apple's most high-end flagship device, should have a high status. However, it is different from Apple's previous oversized cup models. Nowadays, the price of the iPhone 14 ProMax has experienced a serious drop, with third-party platforms plummeting by 2000 yuan, requiring only around 7000 yuan to purchase. There is a reason for this price plunge, so let's follow Xiao M and take a look together!

The main reason for the significant drop in the iPhone 14 ProMax is the processor, which is equipped with the Apple A16 processor, which is definitely a knockout product for Apple. Its CPU improvement is very small, and the single core power consumption reaches 4.58W, making it difficult for the iPhone 14 ProMax, which already has average heat dissipation, to bear. In terms of GPU, it is even more crowded with toothpaste. Its GPU in the GFXBench Manhattan 3.1 test was only 197FPS, not as good as the 226FPS of Snapdragon 8Gen2 or the 227FPS of MediaTek 9200.

Meanwhile, the GPU power consumption of the Apple A16 processor has reached 8.47W, which is nearly 1W higher than the 7.54W of the more powerful Snapdragon 8Gen2. In addition, the Android phones of the Snapdragon 8Gen2 generally have better heat dissipation, and the GPU performance of the iPhone 14 ProMax is indeed slightly lower than that of this year's Android flagship.

Due to pressure from the European Union, the iPhone 15 series is bound to switch to the USB-C interface. As the last Apple phone with a Lightning interface, many friends have chosen to give up on the iPhone 14 ProMax. After all, the versatility of the Lightning interface is relatively poor compared to USB-C, and it requires the use of more expensive MFi certified data cables. Ordinary third-party data cables often cannot be charged, which will cause certain difficulties for subsequent use.

In addition, Apple phones have not innovated in recent years and can only do some articles on imaging systems. The iPhone 14 ProMax has upgraded its 48MP sensor, although there has been some improvement in photo performance. But this has brought the iPhone 14 ProMax with a heavier body, weighing a terrifying 240g, which is even heavier than many foldable screen phones. With a right angle border and a body width of nearly 78mm, it is definitely the worst feeling non foldable screen phone currently on sale, making it difficult to arouse purchasing desire.

This iPhone 14 ProMax is clearly a product that Apple is not striving for. The Apple A16 processor, which overturned due to toothpaste squeezing, lost the advantages of Apple's previous processors. The old and encrypted Lightning interface disregarded the user experience for profit, and the exaggerated weight of 240g gave up the resistance of industrial design. All of this is Apple's own work. Nowadays, even with a price of around 7000 yuan, the iPhone 14 ProMax is no longer appealing to consumers and may even offend first-time users.
