Launch of the Apple iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro series: Everything that was anticipated, from a larger camera to an Always-On Display
Two days from now, on September 7, Apple will host its “Far Out” presentation, and the next-generation iPhone 14 series is the main focus. When compared to, instance, the iPhone 13, which was considered as more of an incremental update over the preceding 12 series, the iPhone 14 series is anticipated to feature significant changes this time around. Let’s quickly review some of the modifications that are anticipated for the iPhone 14 series this time.
Four phones from the Apple iPhone 14 complete series, but no mini
As has been stated and noted multiple times, the iPhone 14 small is not expected to be released. Instead, Apple is emphasising the new iPhone 14 Plus, which will be 6.7 inches in size, and the iPhone 14, which will be 6.1 inches. It was previously speculated that the iPhone 14 Plus will be called the iPhone 14 Max, but it appears that Apple is saving the Max moniker for its Pro line. The 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch ProMotion (120Hz) displays will remain on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max as well.
Apple iPhone 14 series: just the Pro with A16
According to numerous reports, the iPhone 14 series will bring about a significant alteration. The ordinary and Pro models will have various processors. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will continue to use the A15 Bionic, albeit it may have a faster clock speed, as Apple is likely to save the new A16 Bionic for the Pro phones. We’ll have to see how Apple supports its claim that the new iPhone 14 phones have improved performance.
Larger camera on the Apple iPhone 14 Pro series
Apple has consistently used a 12MP wide-angle main camera, but it appears that the iPhone 14 Pro series may usher in a change. Mark Gurman of Bloomberg writes in his most recent newsletter that the iPhone 14 Pro would have a 48MP main wide-angle camera in addition to improvements to the telephoto and wide-angle cameras. The existence of this 48MP camera has also previously been rumoured, including by renowned Apple analyst Ming Chi-Kuo. Apple is not anticipated to include the 48MP camera in the normal iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus models, which will maintain their 12MP primary camera. Apple will also reveal camera upgrades for the iPhone 14 however.
Additionally, we’ll have to wait and see how the iPhone 14 Pro’s 48MP camera sensor affects its capabilities in terms of low light, video recording, etc. Particularly in low-light situations, competing Android devices have outperformed the iPhone, and Apple will be attempting to catch up with the Pro series.
Slimmer bezels and an always-on display on the Apple iPhone 14 Pro series
Although he noted that both of the Pro phones would be a little bit larger this time, Gurman also predicts that the iPhone 14 Pro series will have smaller bezels this time. Larger batteries may also be an option, which the majority of customers would welcome. The iPhone 14 Pro phones are anticipated to receive an Always On Display from Apple.
Apple’s new notch on its iPhone 14 Pro series
It’s anticipated that the notch will also be redesigned. According to reports, Apple will redesign the notch to have a thinner pill shape, but only for the Pro models. This time around, the front camera and all of the Face ID sensors are said to be housed in two cutouts in the display. Apple will, however, rely on software to make sure that the notch only displays as one when the iPhone is in use and not as two cutouts.
Satellite connectivity and further eSIM push in the Apple iPhone 14 Pro series.
Gurman predicts that the iPhone 14 series will make a big push for eSIMs this time. Although it is unclear if this would happen with the iPhone 14 series, he mentions in his letter that Apple is considering doing away with the SIM slot entirely. For those who are unaware, the eSIM feature on iPhones does support dual-SIM.
Additionally, satellite connectivity for the iPhone 14 series has been discussed. It’s unlikely that this will be included in the models for India, but we’ll have to wait and see how Apple implements it.
Expected prices for the Apple iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro series
This time, it’s anticipated that Apple will raise its prices. The starting price of the iPhone 13 in India is Rs 79,900, while that of the iPhone 13 small is Rs 69,900. However, since there won’t be a tiny this time, the starting price of the iPhone 14 Plus will likely be higher. The Pro Max model of Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro retailed for Rs 1,29,900 in India at launch. Ming Chi-Kuo, a well-known Apple analyst, has already stated that he anticipates Apple will raise the cost of its Pro line. The iPhone 13 costs $799 in US dollars, the iPhone 13 Pro starts at $999, and the iPhone 13 Pro Max costs $1099. Even $100 more will increase these costs.
