I have one of these in the family. Great device if you want a bigger screen and don’t care about pro motion or the Pro cameras
I read somewhere that they may be thinking about adjusting the price point of the non-pro models so hopefully it will stay around.
Good because it may be awhile until I upgrade again and I will wait till USB-C is standard.
I believe it isn't selling well because of the price point/features ratio. The plus model is $100 more than the non-plus model with the only benefit being a larger screen and a little more battery, but for $100 more you can get the Pro with the added benefits of the Pro model over the non-pro. You have to remember too, the majority don't buy iPhones for full retail cost, it is split whether it is through Apple, Carrier, Credit Card, whatever method used they didn't take cash or a debit card and pay full retail cost. So if you take the $200 difference between the 14 and and 14 pro or the 14 plus and the 14 pro max and split into 12-24 month payments it is hardly noticeable.
The 14 plus is just the unfortunate middle child, is isn't priced terribly (Apple has done worse price points) but given the options and how the majority purchase their phones it doesn't make sense for most.

I hope they keep it around for the 15 models or lower the price of it.
Here is where I read about the possible price adjustment

iPhone 15 price cut mulled by Apple, for both base and Plus models
A leaker with a decent track record says that Apple is considering an iPhone 15 price cut, when compared to...

$900 for a non-pro iPhone is absurd. But it’s an amazing price at $5/month like I got from AT&T, recently

Seems reasonable. Apple to can do a $50 cut for iPhone 15 models and a $100 increase for the Pro models.
This will result in a $350 gap between the 15 Plus and 15 Pro Max. Right now, the gap is only $200.
Combined with the Dynamic Island that everybody wants, it'll boost sales for sure.
Best part is the weight. It’s way lighter compared to 13/14 Pro Max models while you still get the same size screen.
The smartphone market as a whole suffered its fifth successive decline at the end of last year. I think with the cost of living skyrocketing across the developed world, people are less inclined to buy expensive smartphones. The 14 Plus was overpriced for what it offers and the Pro models have just gone ridiculously high by contrast. Expect to see all models suffering lesser demand over the next few years unless pricing comes down to realistic levels.
Because the price is high and only a few dollars from the new iPhone pro with stand out features. Essentially apple doesn’t want you to buy the plus they want to upsell you to the pro.
