My opinion is that if Apple doesn’t try things, they won’t know how it goes.
My opinion is also that if I didn’t currently have a regular non-Pro 13, I’d likely go for the 14 plus because size and battery.

The concept for the 14 Plus is nice: an iPhone for those want one with a larger screen, but don’t want / don’t have finances to buy a PM. Apple released the 14s in two sets. The Plus was released with the second set. If it is still having disappointing sales, I see 2 possible reasons: the timing of its release (the second set) and/or a too-small niche market. If Apple should come out with a 15 Plus, it should come out with the first set of 15s to see if timing of the 14 Plus’s release was a factor. Otherwise, why bother?

Indeed. The 14 Plus delay defintely hurt it. People saw the other models come out and then the Plus seemed like a total afterthought.

Yup, timing ruined it for them. If anything, Apple should always release the base models before the pro models if they having trouble producing enough. Because people like me, who are set on getting the pro model or for others the pro max, the delay wouldn’t have been as much of a factor in the buying process.

They did try it again, it's called the iPhone XR which became one of Apple's best selling iPhone in 2019.
The iPhone XR was so popular that when the iPhone 12 series came out the 12 Pro has the same screen size as the XR and 11 with 6.1 inches.

It's comparable because the flagship iPhones at the time were the XS and XS Max. The XR was released alongside them.
The iPhone 5C was released the same day as the iPhone 5S.

You seem very set on Apple giving up immediately.
The 5c failed because it was just a 5 with a candy coated shell in a world where the 5s existed.
The 14 and 14 Plus aren’t that. Again, I refer you to my statement that I would have purchased the 14 Plus if I didn’t already have this 13.
Historically, Apple’s larger phones have sold very well. The 8 plus and 7 plus and 6/6s Plus models, for example.
