People, don’t pay attention to how pretty the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are because they are bright yellow. They are a distraction because they are bad deals with bright colours. Apple is aware of this.
For four years, I was the proud owner of a yellow iPhone XR, which I loved. I’m crazy about the colour. It affects my mood and is a big part of how I express myself, so getting a yellow iPhone made a big difference in my life. It made me happy to look at every day, improved my style, and was easy to find in even the messiest gym bag.
When I had to get a new phone earlier this year, I was really upset. The iPhone 14 line didn’t come in yellow, but the soft blue and light lavender of the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus were tempting. The only colours for the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Max were silver, gold, deep purple, and space black, which was boring, and they cost more.
Since I’ve asked Apple for a hot pink iPhone, you might be surprised that I didn’t give in to the urge for a bright colour and instead bought an iPhone 14 Pro in gold. This morning, when Apple announced its new yellow iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, I wondered if I had made a mistake.
But I know that getting the Pro was the best choice for my budget, and it might be the best choice for yours, too.
Compare the 128 GB iPhone 14 and the 128 GB iPhone 14 Pro, for example. The main differences between the two phones are the colours they come in and the fact that the iPhone 14 Pro has an extra camera lens. The iPhone 14 costs $799 and has two camera lenses, while the iPhone 14 Pro costs $999 and has three.
Years ago, each new version of the iPhone had a camera that was much better than the one before it. But since then, progress has slowed down, and the camera tech in new iPhones isn’t getting much better. So when one device has two lenses and another has three, that’s a big difference in price.
In the short term, the iPhone 14 Pro and Max may cost more, but they will be cheaper in the long run. If you buy an iPhone with three lenses, your device won’t become outdated as fast.
Apple, on the other hand, knows that sometimes a colour speaks to you. So, they make their cheaper items bright, bold, and, for me, almost impossible to pass up. If that phone is hot pink, Apple might be able to get me to buy it.
