Despite the fact that the iPhone 13 is very popular, Apple is already hard at work on the iPhone 14, and according to different rumors , we already have a good sense of what the firm may have in mind for its 2022 flagship line.
In fact, if the rumors are accurate, it may be a lot more interesting improvement than what the iPhone 13 has to offer, with recent rumors suggesting a potential redesign, the elimination of the Face ID notch, and an enhanced camera system as well.
In light of this, we provide an overview of everything currently known about the iPhone 14, including anticipated release and price ranges.
Release Date for the iPhone 14
The most recent Apple products, such as the iPhone X and Apple Watch, have always had a launching window in September. The iPhone 14 Pro may launch on September 7, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, so things don’t appear to have changed this year either. Instead of taking place at the famous Apple Park, the event is probably going to be held online. Despite expectations that the phone will launch in mid-September, Apple appears to have managed to do it a few days earlier.
Even if the phone launches on September 7, pre-orders will likely begin at least a week later. The official phone release date might be set following the announcement of the pre-order dates.
Design
There were rumors that the most recent iPhones might get a major redesign about a year ago. The iPhone 13’s significant camera rise and squared edges would be removed by Apple. Recent CAD models of the iPhone 14 , however, suggest that this would not be the case. Naturally, there would be some major changes, but there would be relatively few of them. The notch design would be dropped, but the square edges and camera bumps would remain. Instead of a notch, a camera with a hole-punch design would be used. This suggests that the design of the phone’s screen would feature a larger, circular hole next to a smaller, pill-shaped hole.
Additionally, the screen-to-body ratio of the iPhone 14 Pro might be marginally higher than that of the earlier generations. Expect the display to be a little bit larger due to the lack of a notch and the smaller bezels. The iPhone 14 Pro might have a 6.12-inch screen instead of the 6.06-inch one that the iPhone 13 Pro had.
Colors
In order to give the Pro series phones a premium appearance, Apple often maintains the color palette somewhat subdued. This time, Apple might abandon the Sierra Blue option in favor of a brand-new shade called Purple. Graphite, silver, green, and gold could also be available colors for the iPhone 14 Pro.
Processor
Here, things start to become a little bit more interesting. For the main iPhone model, Apple will keep using the 5nm processor, but there may be a change for the iPhone 14 Pro. The iPhone 14 Pro may introduce the rumored A16 CPU. These rumors haven’t been verified, though. We must thus wait till additional details are revealed. Reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also suggested that the CPU replacement may have more of a marketing impact than a significant performance improvement.
RAM
The iPhone has always had excellent RAM management. The iPhones have never needed significant RAM upgrades thanks to appropriate OS optimizations. But according to sources, the iPhone 14 Pro will feature a considerable RAM upgrade, with 6GB of RAM.
Display
The 120Hz ProMotion display was available on the iPhone 13 Pro. The same or a comparable display is anticipated for the iPhone 14 Pro as well, with the 120Hz displays being exclusive to the Pro models. Additionally, a new Samsung Display for the iPhone 14 Pro that uses their brand-new M12 material is said to be in the works. The displays on Samsung flagship models are made of the same material.
Due to a reported iOS 16 feature, the phone might potentially have an always-on display. The user can use the always-on display by altering the refresh rate due to this feature. Furthermore, the idea of an always-on display doesn’t seem too far-fetched given the likelihood that Samsung Display M12 will be used for OLED screens.
Storage
The base model of the iPhone 14 Pro might come with 128GB of storage. The storage quality, however, could completely alter. In other words, Apple might use QLC NAND flash memory solutions, which would improve endurance and performance. According to some reports, the iPhone 14 Pro might also include a 2TB expanded memory capacity. However, this is only a rumor and hasn’t been verified.
Camera
The iPhone 14 Pro might excel in this situation. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the 48MP sensor in the Apple iPhone 14 Pro will result in a significant camera improvement. Up to 8K video recording might be possible with a triple camera system equipped with a 48MP wide-angle lens.
A better aperture and focus for Portrait Mode and FaceTime could potentially be added to the front-facing camera.
Battery
According to Ross Young of the DSCC, all of the future iPhones may have larger batteries. Below is a link to his tweet:
Larger batteries could also mean quicker charging times. The maximum charging speed for earlier iPhone models was 15W, with MagSafe chargers only requiring 7.5W. The iPhone 14 Pro, on the other hand, might support charging at a maximum of 30W. For the best charge, this output might then be reduced to 25W. However, the battery capacity is not yet known.
Cost of the iPhone 14 Pro
We’re now looking at one of the most important aspects of the incoming iPhone: its price. The iPhone 14 Pro could cost at least $100, or over INR 8,000 more than the iPhone 13, as a result of the cost increase in supply and the global shortage of semiconductors.
The pricing of the next Pro model is likely to be the highest in comparison to its predecessors because the iPhone 14 Pro will feature so many major advancements above the regular iPhone 14. This time around, Apple is giving the Pro versions more preference because of a new display and an improved processor.
Additionally, according to Ming-Chi Kuo, the price of the iPhone 14 Pro may be 15% higher than that of the less expensive variants. The cost of the Pro model would be close to $1099, which is about similar to INR 87,667, given that Apple raises the price of its most recent iPhones by $100 a year. Obviously, based on output, this price is speculative and subject to fluctuation in India. Due to lower taxes, if the phone is made in India, the price may end up being much lower than expected
conclusion
Since the release of the newest iPhones is near, rumors and speculation are flying about like crazy. Of course, during Apple’s announcement event, all of these rumors will be clarified. Until then, we’ll have to wait for more leaks and information. Hopefully, this article tells you everything about iPhone 14 and what you can expect from this upcoming phone.
