The iPhone 14 has already been extensively leaked, so we have an idea of what to expect from it.
The iPhone 14 is coming in 2022 – almost certainly in September – and will arrive as a follow up to the impressive iPhone 13 range. And while it’s a way off yet, leakers have already begun revealing possible specs, and there are even unofficial renders of the phone online. As such, we have a surprisingly clear picture of the form the iPhone 14 range might take – though this far from launch we’d be extra skeptical, as there’s plenty of time for things to change. But the rumors so far are promising, pointing to a completely new design for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, a totally new model dubbed the iPhone 14 Max, and some significant camera upgrades. Here you’ll find everything we’ve heard so far, including details about the potential release date and price. And as soon as we hear anything else about the iPhone 14 we’ll add it to this article, so make sure to check back here soon, as leaks are rolling in at a surprisingly rapid rate already. Feb.27: A look at the pill and punch hole replacement for the notch on the Pro models comes courtesy of a leaked schematic. Feb,21: Production has apparently started! A report claims that Apple has begun trial production of the iPhone 14 range already. Feb.7: Is an iPhone SE 3 coming first? Before we get an iPhone 14, the popular budget SE line will be refreshed in March alongside a new iPad Air 5, Bloomberg predicted recently. We wouldn’t be at all surprised. Jan.27: eSim only? An analyst predicts that Apple might launch a version of the iPhone 14 that only has an eSIM – meaning no removable SIM card. They claim that the company would release versions with physical SIM cards too, so buyers have a choice. Jan.15: 120Hz all the way round! Every edition of the iPhone 14 will come with a 120Hz ProMotion display, one analyst believes – a feature that is currently an exclusive on the Pro and Pro Max models when it comes to the iPhone 13. iPhone 14 release date: There aren’t any release date rumors yet, but Apple almost always unveils new iPhone models in September. iPhone 14 price: Pricing is unknown, but for reference the iPhone 13 started at $799 / £779 / AU$1,349, and prices may be similar for the next models. Design: The iPhone 14 will probably look a lot like the iPhone 13, but the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max could get a punch-hole camera instead of a notch. There might also be a big-screen iPhone 14 Max in place of an iPhone 14 mini. Display: The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro could have 6.1-inch (or 6.06-inch) 1170 x 2532 OLED screens, while the iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max could have 6.7-inch (or 6.68-inch) 1284 x 2778 OLED screens. Expect a 120Hz refresh rate on the Pro models and a 60Hz refresh rate on the others. Camera: The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max could have 48MP main cameras (up from 12MP on the current models). Other specs are unclear, but a triple-lens snapper on all but the standard iPhone 14 is likely, with the basic phone instead having two rear lenses. Specs: Every iPhone 14 model is expected to have a powerful A16 Bionic chipset, but the Pro models could additionally have 8GB of RAM (up from a maximum of 6GB currently) and up to 2TB of storage (up from a current maximum of 1TB). Battery: Little is known about the battery yet, but there are claims that the capacity could increase, with the phones getting thicker to house their larger batteries. There’s no news on when the iPhone 14 will be released yet, but we can take a very good guess at this, as Apple tends to announce new models around the same time each year, usually at a special event. The iPhone 13 was unveiled on September 14,2021, and it shipped on September 24. While we probably won’t see the iPhone 14 on those exact dates in 2022, Apple tends to unveil the new models on either the first or second Tuesday in September, which would mean either September 6 or September 13. Then they usually go up for pre-order the Friday of that week, meaning September 9 or 16, and ship the following Friday, so September 16 or 23. Occasionally Apple will announce the phones on the first or second Wednesday instead, but around those dates seems very likely anyway. The iPhone 12 range was an exception to this, landing in October 2020, but that was thanks to delays and supply issues caused by Covid-19. So far it doesn’t look like there will be delays this year, with trial production apparently having already started (as of late February), which is on schedule. We’ve heard one iPhone 14 price leak which detailed four members of the new range – with a Max included, but no Mini.
