Apple is all set to launch its 2022 flagship iPhone 14 series, and here’s everything we know about it. Read to know about the iPhone 14 price, specifications, design and more.
‘Tech’tember is here, and along comes Apple’s September Event for 2022, Far Out. One of the biggest attractions, much like every year, will be Apple’s iPhone lineup. The Cupertino, California-based tech company is expected to introduce the iPhone 14 models in its Far Out event that has been scheduled for September 7th 2022. The iPhone 14 rumour mills have been picking up pace as we inch closer to launch. We wrap up everything that is to know about the upcoming flagship.
The iPhone 14 series will play a pivotal role in iPhone’s history as it is expected to bring along some significant changes. From design to the variants, the iPhone 14 series will incorporate a rethought strategy for the popular flagship model.
The iPhone 14 lineup is scheduled for launch at the September 7th 2022, Far Out Apple Event that will go live at 10:30 PM IST.
Prices on the iPhone 14 Pro models are expected to go up, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo who suggests a bump of upto 15 percent in price. This price hike could come courtesy of the extensive changes that the iPhone 14 Pro models are believed to bring along. However, it is believed that the vanilla iPhone 14 models will retain their earlier price tag.
Apple intends to bring significant changes to the iPhone 14 model lineup this year. It’s rumoured that Apple will drop the ‘mini’ model from the lineup and will introduce a new ‘Max’ sized model (which could be called iPhone 14 Plus) with the vanilla iPhone 14 serving as the base. Thus, the iPhone 14 lineup comprises the vanilla iPhone 14, an iPhone 14 Plus along with the iPhone 14 Pro and larger iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Apple will finally move on from the notch on the iPhone, but only on the ‘Pro’ models. From the leaks that have unfolded in the past couple of months, it is likely that Apple will introduce a circular and a pill-shaped cutout to house the FaceID components as well as the front camera. It is also believed that Apple could use software to merge the two cutouts to make it look like one single pill-shaped cutout, much like the software trickery that Apple has deployed on its notched MacBook models lately.
After years of customer feedback, Apple seems to have finally found a way to implement Alway-On display, and it might come to users when the iPhone 14 Pro models launch. Apple is likely to allow the Lock Screen widgets that were introduced with the iOS 16 to stay active when the screen is off by using the adaptive refresh rate that the 120Hz ProMotion display offers.
This could also mean that the iPhone 13 Pro models could get this feature when the iOS 16 Public release takes place. Moreover, it is highly unlikely that the iPhone 14 and earlier models will get the feature, given that they aren’t available with ProMotion display technology.
