iPhone 14 Release Date
Apple's new iPhones might offer the largest improvements in
years, according to iPhone 14 speculations. According to the reports, the
iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will have a sleeker new design, a speedier A16 Bionic
CPU, a sharper new primary camera, and maybe USB-C.

The iPhone 14 Pro models are likely to receive the most
significant updates, but the normal iPhone 14 lineup might also see significant
changes, with the small expected to be replaced by a new 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max.
In other words, it's simple to understand why the iPhone 14
is one of the phones we're most looking forward to in 2022. Here's what we know
so far about the iPhone 14, why it'll be one of Apple's most important products
in 2022, and what we want to see from the new flagships.
The most recent iPhone 14 Rumours (Updated April 21)
According to one leaker, the iPhone 14 Pro variants are
unlikely to receive USB-C.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, under-display cameras and Face ID
will not be available until the iPhone 16 in 2024.
The front camera on all new iPhone 14 models might be
enhanced, with autofocus and a larger aperture.
The iPhone 14 might be released as early as this year.
When is the iPhone 14 coming out?
We haven't heard anything about an iPhone 14 release date.
However, based on recent Apple iPhone announcement events, the iPhone 14 is
expected to arrive in September 2022.
The iPhone 14 is undergoing engineering validation testing
(EVTs), according to the newest rumour, indicating that the design has been
rectified since the iPhone 14 went into trial production in February. These
testing will determine if the new models meet Apple's stringent requirements.
It's also difficult to anticipate the cost. However, we
expect the iPhone 14 will be priced similarly to the iPhone 13, which starts at
$799 for the standard model and $999 for the iPhone 13 Pro. However, there may
be no iPhone 14 small at all, thus a bigger 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max with a price
of $899 seems likely.
The iPhone 14 Pro might cost $999 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max
could cost $1,099 or more after that.
But there's a catch: according to LeaksApplePro, three of
the four iPhone 14 versions are said to be seeing a price increase.
The original iPhone 14 is likely to remain at $799, while
the bigger iPhone 14 Max is slated to retail for $899. However, the iPhone 14
Pro might cost $1,099, a $100 premium above the $999 iPhone 13 Pro. The iPhone
14 Pro Max may also see a price rise, reaching $1,199. Anyone wanting to get
their hands on a high-end next-generation iPhone 14 will be hit hard by this
huge price increase at launch.
iPhone mini replaced by iPhone 14 Max
Despite the alleged dismal sales of the iPhone 12 small,
Apple introduced an iPhone 13 mini alongside the other iPhone 13 models last
autumn. However, the small might be phased out after then, as Apple is rumoured
to be reorganizing its iPhone 14 range for 2022. Along with the ordinary
6.1-inch iPhone 14, a bigger iPhone 14 Plus or Max might be released. As a
result, there will be two iPhone 14 models with regular-sized screens and two
iPhone 14 models with bigger screens.
This was further supported by leaker Jon Prosser, who stated
that the iPhone 14 Max will be a substitute for a tiny phone, with a 6.7-inch
display but no pro features and consequently a high price tag. Given the demand
for bigger phones, a huge but more cheap iPhone might be just what iPhone
enthusiasts are looking for.
Another leaker claims that the iPhone 14 will be available
in two variants, the standard and the Max. The iPhone 14 Max, in our opinion,
will be a game-changer for Apple, and its rumoured release should make Apple's
competitors worried.
The removal of the iPhone 13 small isn't the only
significant difference between the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 13. All of the
major speculated differences between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 can be found
in our iPhone 14 versus iPhone 13 comparison.
The iPhone 11 will most likely be phased out of Apple's
phone range in the autumn as a result of the iPhone 14's release. It's unclear
if both iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 12 mini models will remain.
iPhone 14 Design
According to Jon Prosser's Front Page Tech video, the iPhone
14 will resemble a hybrid between an iPhone 12 and an iPhone 4, with flat
sides. However, those borders might incorporate a mute button and a series of
circular volume centre buttons, reminiscent of the iPhone 4.
The iPhone 14's sides are rumored to be constructed of
titanium, making it harder and stronger than prior iPhones, while the rear
retains the glass surface but seems to have a satin-like sheen.
Some schematics depict the iPhone 14 Pro models, with the
elevated camera array on the iPhone 14 Pro being much larger and Ming-Chi Kuo
suggesting that a bigger module is required to house a 48MP camera, the basic
iPhone 14 is unlikely to feature a set of cameras flush with its back panel.
According to a few reports, the iPhone 14 will be the last
iPhone to ditch the notch. However, it appears that only the iPhone 14 Pro will
be notch-free, with a mix of a single circular camera cutout and a pill-shaped
cutout alongside it for Face ID sensors.
However, the basic iPhone 14 is no longer anticipated to
eliminate the notch, with rumours claiming that by 2023, the whole iPhone line
would be notch-free.
Display
The iPhone 14 lineup is expected to be shaken up, with a
normal iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro sporting a 6.1-inch display and a probable
iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max sporting a 6.7-inch display. So there will
be no more 5.4-inch minis.
According to Shadow Leaks, the iPhone 14 will have a
6.08-inch (rounded up to 6.1-inch) display, while the iPhone 14 Max will have a
6.68-inch panel (rounded up to 6.7 inches). The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max
have the same screen size.
Given that the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max feature a 120Hz
refresh rate display, it would be fantastic if all iPhone 14 models had one as
well, most likely utilising an LTPO panel or a variant of that technology.
According to a new supply chain report, the iPhone 14 Max,
also known as the iPhone 14 Plus, would include a 120Hz refresh rate display.
In this scenario, LG is said to be the screen manufacturer, however it's
unknown if the normal iPhone 14 will gain a higher refresh rate or stick to
60Hz.
According to The Elec, at least one iPhone 14 model will
include an LTPS display, implying that the 60Hz panel will remain. Following
supply chain rumours, it appears that the regular iPhone 14 will be without a
fast-refreshing display.
Another rumour indicates that the iPhone 14 and 14 Max might
have refresh rates of 90Hz. This would be a step up over the iPhone 13 and 13
mini, but it wouldn't step on the Pro model's quicker screens.
Given that an always-on display was rumoured for the iPhone
13 but never made it into the current iPhone, it would seem natural for the
iPhone 14.
iPhone 14 Touch ID
The reintroduction of Touch ID is one of the most noticeable
differences between the iPhone 14 and its predecessors. Instead of being built
into a power button, the fingerprint sensor is expected to be buried beneath
the iPhone 14's display, similar to how many fingerprint sensors on the top
Android phones are.
However, the jury is still out on whether or not this is
true. Analyst Ming Chi-Kuo believes it will be a few years before an iPhone
with Touch ID or under-display Face ID is released. This would have been a huge
letdown, because having an option to Face ID is really useful during these
mask-wearing times.
However, with iOS 15.4, Apple has made Face ID capable of
recognizing a genuine person even while they are wearing a mask. It performs
admirably, implying that Apple may have eliminated the requirement for
fingerprint-based authentication.
Camera
We're starting to hear more about the iPhone 14 cameras, and
the speculation is starting to heat up. According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi
Kuo, the iPhone 14 Pro models would have a 48MP primary sensor, which would be
a significant upgrade over the iPhone 13's 12MP camera. The 48MP primary camera
speculation is backed up by TrendForce, a Taiwanese research organization,
implying that megapixels are once again important to Apple – at least when it
comes to the company's Pro phones.
Another tipter, however, has refuted this report, claiming
that the iPhone 14 Pro, and hence the iPhone 14 series, would not include a
48MP camera. Instead, according to the source, Apple will stay with the same
12MP sensors used in the iPhone 13 series.
Nonetheless, a larger primary sensor will be good, but we're
especially eager in a better telephoto lens, as the iPhone currently behind the
Samsung Galaxy S21 in this department. In fact, it would be cool if Apple took
a page from the Galaxy S21 Ultra's book and included a secondary telephoto
camera with a 10x optical zoom.
According to one Apple patent, the company is working on a
periscope-style zoom camera, which might appear on the iPhone 14, or at the
very least the Pro variants. Ming-Chi Kuo, on the other hand, now claims that
the periscope camera will not come until the iPhone 15 in 2023.
Another iPhone 14 camera suggestion comes from Kuo, this
time regarding the front camera. The front camera on the iPhone 14 is expected
to include autofocus and a larger aperture (f/1.9 vs. f/2.2 on the current
iPhone). FaceTime conversations should be sharper with autofocus, and selfies
in low light will benefit from the larger aperture. The enhancements to the
front camera would apply to all iPhone 14 models, not just the Pro variants.
