According to Ming Chi-Kuo, an Apple analyst, Apple may make a smaller iPhone that is cheaper than the iPhone Pro Max series. According to some rumors, the iPhone 14 Max would be joined by the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max to make Apple's 2022 iPhone lineup.The iPhone 14 Max will likely feature the same features as smaller iPhones, but in a 6.7 inch frame. An improved camera will be available with an ultra-wide lens that is autofocus capable. The display may be the same 120Hz resolution as the iPhone 13 Pro.Apple has steadily increased its iPhone shippment, going from two models with iPhone 6 to three with iPhone 8 and four with the iPhone 12 series. Apple expects to keep this four-model schedule. The 2021s iPhone 13 will be similar to the iPhone 12s lineup. Meanwhile, the 2022 iPhone line will likely ditch the Mini in favor of the Max.According to reports, the iPhone 12 Mini has been dropped due to its poor performance in comparison to other iPhones. Apple may also be planning to deemphasize 2021's iPhone 13 Mini. It is not surprising that Apple's larger iPhones have sold well in the past. The iPhone 12 Pro Max was the iPhone 12 series' most successful launch, surpassing the iPhone 6.During the first seven months following series launch, consumers preferred the most expensive version of the iPhone 12 Series. Counterpoint Research found that the Pro Max model accounted for 29% of iPhone 12 series sales, as compared to 25% for the iPhone 11 Series. This is one of the main reasons why the iPhone 12 series generated 22% more revenue in its first seven months than the iPhone 11 range.Despite this, large, inexpensive phones are selling well. Manufacturers who seek to expand their markets beyond the United States and Europe have invested in larger-screened phones in order to sell cheaper models.
