Cheap Redmi more popular than the best iPhone? Maybe, but there’s a catch

• The entire Redmi Note 14 series is currently enjoying a lot of interest
• In the rankings of the GSMArena server, the Pro+ model surpassed even the best iPhone
• However, it would be very bold to say that the budget Redmi is more popular overall

Xiaomi introduced the anticipated series at the end of last working week Redmi Note 14. So far, it has only arrived on the Chinese market, and that consists of three different variants. I presented each of them in a summary article, but later I focused specifically on the top model Pro+. In short, I found the most interesting due to the amount and strength of the individual improvements. And I’m certainly not alone.

Server GSMArena on Sunday published a list of the most popular phones among its visitors during the previous week. The ranking (surprisingly?) is currently reigning Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 Pro+ – he even succeeded surpass even the dreaded iPhone 16 Pro Max. The third place in the table was occupied by the classic Redmi Note 14, while the golden mean in the form of the Redmi Note 14 Pro finished fourth.

To say that the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is more popular than the iPhone 16 Pro Max would be quite a bold statement. None of the phones have been on the market for long enough to be able to objectively compare which of them deserved more attention from customers. However, the fact is that Xiaomi, at least in the middle class, and Apple targeting a completely different clientele.

While Redmi Note 14 Pro+ can still be considered as budget phoneto be with some interesting benefitswhich even far more expensive devices cannot boast of, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is perceived as assurance for those who demand the bestthey don’t want to experiment too much when choosing a phone, or they are simply long-time fans of apples.

A number of these people automatically consider Apple to be the best, even without studying it in detail on technology websites such as GSMArena. Of course, we have to take into account the fact that Apple presented the new iPhones already on September 9, so the initial boom has long since subsidedwhile the Redmi Note 14 Pro+ is currently experiencing it.
