Every year, Apple introduces a new line of iPhones aimed at both casual users and enthusiasts. And this year will be no exception. Apple will hold another high-profile event in September to unveil a new iPhone, this time in the form of the iPhone 14. While some details about the new iPhone 14 series will be kept under wraps until its official release, several leaks have given us a taste of what's to come. Continue reading to learn more about the latest iPhone 14 series and its exciting features.
According to a number of leaks, Apple will release four new iPhone models in 2022, with the exception of a 5.4-inch'mini' model that will be replaced by a 6.7-inch 'Max' model. That means two new 'Pro' iPhone models with 6.7-inch and 6.1-inch displays will be available alongside the standard iPhone 14 (6.1) and iPhone 14 Max (6.7) models.
What does the iPhone 14 look like?
The iPhone 14 will resemble its processor in most ways. However, the top-tier 'Pro' models are expected to have a pill-shaped hole-punch design for their front-facing camera, while the regular iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will retain the existing Face ID notch. It appears that Apple is considering a smaller hole-punch camera as a design differentiator between the more expensive iPhone 14 Pro lineup and the standard iPhone 14 models.
How many cameras does the iPhone 14 have?
Apple appears to be sticking to the same camera stack on the iPhone 14 series as last year iPhone 13. This means the less expensive iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will still have two rear cameras, while the Pro models will have three cameras and a LiDAR sensor. However, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman claims only the Pro models will get the 48-megapixel camera, while the regular iPhone models will have a 12-megapixel main sensor. Apple typically reserves big upgrades in terms of camera hardware on its Pro models and it will continue with the iPhone 14 series. Speaking of the front camera, all iPhone 14 models will get a massive selfie camera.
What are the iPhone 14 specs?
Only the Pro models will get Apple new A16 chip for the first time, while the regular variants will either have the A15 (the same chip that powers the iPhone 13) or a variant of it. The iPhone 14 will be powerful even with the A15 chip. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max are expected to have storage capacities of 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. The Pro models will start with 128GB of storage, with 256GB and 512GB storage options available. All iPhone 14 models are also expected to get a significant battery boost.
How much does the iPhone 14 cost?
There have been numerous rumours about price increases for the iPhone 14 due to rising inflation and increased manufacturing costs. In fact, despite being a cash-rich company, Apple is reportedly under pressure to pass on the additional cost to customers. The iPhone 1 is expected to start at $899, and the iPhone 14 Max will cost $999. The base model of the iPhone 14 Pro will cost $1099, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max may start at $1199. However, because these prices do not include local taxes, the retail price of the iPhone 14 series could be significantly higher.
What won't be coming?
The iPhone 14 series will undoubtedly be faster and better than previous iPhone models. However, not every rumoured feature will be included in the iPhone 14 and will thus be reserved for a 2023 model. We don't expect the iPhone 14 to have an in-display fingerprint reader or a USB-C port in place of the Lightning port, for example.
