iPhone 14: release date, design, price, specifications and news

iPhone 14 This is without a doubt one of the most anticipated products of the year. The new generation of Apple phones always increases sales and includes many new features that make not only the company itself, but the entire industry evolve.

In this generation Apple is expected to introduce four different versions of the new iPhone 14.. The same number of devices as in the last two years, but, yes, with a different approach. It is expected that this year the model mini disappear in favor of a new model Maximum. Therefore, the brand directory will look like this:

• iPhone 14 with a 6.1-inch screen.
• iPhone 14 Max with a 6.7-inch screen.
• iPhone 14 Pro with a 6.1-inch screen.
• iPhone 14 Pro Max with a 6.7-inch screen.

iPhone 14 design

The design of the iPhone 14 is expected to be similar to current models. Namely: full flat aluminum side frame, front and back glass sheets, rectangular PV module, excavation reduced size, etc.

However, both the iPhone 14 Pro and the Pro Max variant will make significant changes: disappearance excavation. Or rather, its transformation. Both the front camera and the sensors required for the Face ID system would come out thanks to the double perforation on the screen. One round and one tablet shaped. A solution similar to what companies like Samsung used in their phones.

Another possible change for both iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. replacement of a stainless steel frame with a titanium one. The North American company uses this material to create some versions of the Apple Watch, so it won’t be a surprise if they decide to bring it to the iPhone as well.

On the other hand, all versions of the iPhone 14 will likely arrive in the new color scheme.. With the latest generations, the Cupertino company has always slightly varied the range of shades. It would be surprising if neither a new color nor variations of existing ones were announced this year.

In a similar way, rear window trim differentiation expected to continuebeing matte in two iPhone 14s with the surname Pro and regular glass in the other two models.

iPhone 14 processor

The standard iPhone 14, according to sources close to the company, will have CPU A15 Bionicthe same that the company is installing on the iPhone 13. If this happens, the American company will for the first time launch a new model of its mobile phone with the same chip as its predecessor.

Why did Apple decide to keep this processor? It’s too early to tell, but there are several possible reasons.

• The question of cost. Chip shortages, inflation hitting all Western economies, and other economic factors may have made it difficult to include the new processor in the iPhone 14 — the cheapest in the new catalog — without raising its selling price from the previous one. generation or stock in the store would be affected. Repeating with the A15 Bionic processor would be a way to minimize these externalities, lower costs, and ensure product availability.
• A15 Bionic continues to be the benchmark. It may not be the reason, but it’s a major factor in the decision: The A15 Bionic still, almost a year after its launch, outperforms the best products from Qualcomm, Samsung and MediaTek. And given the predictions made by ARM for 2023 processors, it’s likely that Apple’s said chip will still be better – or at least up to the task – of what we’ll see next year.

Who will have the new processor is the iPhone 14 Pro (and the Pro Max variant). The name or its characteristics remain a mystery, butAll indications are that it will be baptized as the A16 Bionic.. Improvements, on the other hand, will be gradual (higher performance, more advanced ISP, etc.), but nothing revolutionary is expected in this regard, since TSMC’s production technology will be the same as in the A15 Bionic.

All iPhone 14, according to some rumors, They would have 6 GB of RAMthe same as the iPhone 13 Pro and 2 GB more than the standard iPhone 13.

iPhone 14 battery

Published in recent weeks possible battery capacities of the new iPhone 14. And the pleasant surprise is that they are all growing in size compared to the current generation, so if you control the consumption of components, autonomy can be a little better than in the previous model.

The leaked numbers are:

iPhone 14 cameras

in the field of photography, Apple always brings news with every generation. The iPhone 14 is rumored to be no exception. However, there are few details on this at the moment.

• All iPhone 14s are expected to feature an improved ultra-wide camera. Probably brighter sensors or lenses that improve performance in low light conditions.
• Rumor has it that the iPhone 14 with the surname Pro will have new 48-megapixel main camera which would allow recording video in 8K in addition to recourse to technology pixel binning to improve performance in adverse lighting conditions. This technology, present in phones like the Galaxy S22 Ultra, combines the information received from different pixels into one.
• The front cameras of the Pro models are expected to be much better than the current ones.
• none of increase long range thanks to the periscope lens.

Goodbye physical SIM cards?

In recent months, various sources have indicated that Apple can definitely say goodbye to physical SIMs with a new generation of iPhones.. It wouldn’t come as a surprise. The company’s phones have been supporting eSIM cards for several years now. In parallel, more operators are implementing this technology into their systems.

Removing the physical SIM card, among other things, frees up space inside the device, which can be used by the carrier to install other components or expand battery capacity.

Will it have USB-C?

Apple forced to use USB-C port on iPhone from 2024 due to newly approved European regulations. The question is how the company will respond to such a requirement. Will the iPhone 14 be the first with the specified port or will we have to wait until the next iPhone 15?

sources such as bloomberg they assure that the company is testing prototypes with the aforementioned USB-C port, but given that the European regulations were approved a few weeks ago and in advance, with which the design phase of this type of product is usually completed, it is logical to think that the iPhone 14 will not change the port lightning via USB-C.

Looking ahead, however, a second question arises: Apple will change the port lightning via USB-C or will the company decide to ditch any type of connector in favor of wireless charging? Recall that in 2020, the company introduced MagSafe technology to the iPhone, which is based on the Qi wireless charging standard. Taking this path would allow Apple to bypass European regulation and at the same time connect with the company’s well-known philosophy – remove ports when possible, use wireless, etc. –

iPhone 14 screen

The iPhone 14 screens will, in principle, be OLED, retain the same resolution as their predecessors, be compatible with Dolby Vision, and come in sizes of 6.1 and 6.7 inches. Improvements in brightness levels or power consumption may be announced, but beyond that, no big changes expected.

However, in the case of Pro models technology is expected always on. This will take advantage of the panel’s variable refresh rate and OLED’s ability to illuminate individual pixels to display information even when the screen is off. The system is relatively similar to the Apple Watch Series 7 system, displaying information even when idle.

Technology On the other hand, ProMotion will remain exclusive to Pro models.. Both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max, according to the latest rumors, will have a screen with a frequency of 60 Hz, and not a variable 120 Hz.

Other possible news

• The new iPhone 14 could bring this technology with it Wi-Fi 6Ea new version that provides connectivity in the 6 GHz band.
• Rumor has it that the iPhone 14 may be sold in versions up to 2 TB.

When will the iPhone 14 be released? Release date and availability

Apple hasn’t revealed when it will unveil the expected iPhone 14, though, in general, the company’s phones usually they will see the light somewhere in the first half of September. Given that the company usually introduces its products on Tuesday, September 13 or 6 – the dates for which there are the most options.

apart from problems stock or unexpected delays, Apple phones should go on sale one week after their launch date. Therefore, it is possible that Friday the 16th or Friday the 23rd will be available in the brand’s stores.

iPhone 14 price: how much does it cost?

Price one of the main unknowns of the new line. Inflation, combined with other economic factors and supply chain difficulties, can play a fundamental role in this aspect.

Basically, the iPhone 14 will be priced similarly to the iPhone 13, with the Max model sitting above it. In the case of the iPhone 14 Pro, the price may increase compared to the previous generation. In particular, according to some reports, it will increase by $100.
