“iPhone 14 Rumors: What to Expect from Apple’s September Event”

Looks like the new iPhones will be mostly like the old ones.

If you’ve been dealing with a decrepit, dying iPhone all year, your time is almost here — September 7th to be exact.

Yes, Apple’s flagship iPhone event is scheduled for early September, which means it’s almost time for the company to announce a slew of new products, chief among which is Apple’s range of new iPhones. This year. As always, the rumor mill has been swirling around this highly anticipated iPhone 14 lineup, so let’s take a few minutes to brush up on what Apple is likely to show off next month.

RIP iPhone mini

It’s a yearly tradition in the tech world to turn to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman for trustworthy iPhone leaks, and that hasn’t changed in 2022. Gurman has a handy guide(opens in a new tab) to find out what to expect from the iPhone 14 lineup and perhaps the biggest change this year is an overhaul of Apple’s phone sizing conventions.

Apple is expected to launch four new iPhones this year – like last year, but without a sub-6-inch mini model like the one we loved. Instead, there will be two 6.1-inch and two 6.7-inch models, one each for the regular iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro lines. Here’s how we expect it to shake:

  • 6.1 inch iPhone 14

  • 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro

  • 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max

  • 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max

Yes, that means there could be an iPhone 14 Max with a huge 6.7-inch screen and no Pro-tier price. Excited yet?

Never again, notch!

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says iPhone 14 Pro models will replace the hated notch(opens in a new tab) with a punch-hole front camera. The Pro models would also feature a new pill-shaped cutout, according to Gurman, which will house the iPhone 14 Pro’s Face ID sensors.

You might be wondering why anyone would shell out for a 14 Pro if the 14 Max exists. Well, according to Gurman and Kuo, that’s because the iPhone 14 Pro will come with a 48-megapixel main rear lens, a significant upgrade from the 12-megapixel lens that would be included on the iPhone. 14. It will also come with Apple’s new A16 chip inside, while non-Pro iPhone 14 models will be powered by last year’s A15. Of course, the normal Pro upgrades like a telephoto lens and improved battery will also be present in the more expensive models.

As for design changes, Gurman says to expect something broadly similar to the iPhone 13. Pro phones may have a new notch replacement, but other than that a more substantial redesign may need to be done. be expected 2023.

As for pricing, we won’t know for sure how much these phones will cost until Apple tells us on September 7, but Kuo said in August that he expects pricing for the iPhone 14 Pro are up about 15% above the $1,000 starting price of the iPhone 13 Pro. .

Apple Watch could become “Pro”

Unsurprisingly, Gurman is also a reliable source on the other new product we’re expecting to see at Apple’s September 7 event: the Apple Watch Series 8. In a July edition of his “Power On” newsletter .(opens in a new tab)Gurman introduced the three new versions of the Apple Watch that he says will be showcased at the event.

For starters, we could see a default Apple Watch Series 8 in 41mm and 45mm sizes with a new S8 chip powering its performance and, as Kuo also reported, a body temperature sensor to add even more functionality. health tracking, including specific features for women’s health. According to Gurman, expect a starting price of around $400 for this one.

There could also be a new $280 Apple Watch SE, which would replace the current SE model which is already at that price. The SE would likely include the new S8 chip for improved performance, but according to Gurman it won’t include the body temperature sensor.

Most interesting is the third Apple Watch model, which for all intents and purposes we can call Apple Watch “Pro” for now. This one is aimed directly at outdoor enthusiasts who need a durable watch that can handle more health metrics, so it would have a bigger screen and a titanium case. Improvements to battery life and tracking of hikes and swims were also noted in the newsletter.

Sounds good, right? Well, that’s until we get to pricing. Gurman said it could start for as much as $900 to $1,000 or, in other words, as much as some iPhone models. For a watch. Hopefully everyone who spends this much gets what they paid for.

Since Apple recently decided to hold a later fall event for iPads and Macs, most rumors point to this one being for the iPhone and Apple Watch only.
