Apple will hold its big traditional event on September 7 at the Steve Jobs Theater on its Apple Park Campus, and that’s when we expect the Apple iPhone 14 and a bunch of other devices to launch. The standard iPhone 14 could remain nearly identical to the iPhone 13. Even so, we expect some improvements over the current models.

As we wait for official confirmation and more details on the iPhone 14, here’s a quick roundup of everything we know so far.

Apple iPhone 14 launch event

iPhone 14 Design

Reports indicate that Apple will be widening the gap between Pro and standard models with the upcoming iPhone 14 series. The company may reserve the new processor, design, and cameras for the pro lineup.

The standard iPhone 14 is expected to look very similar to its predecessor, with the same notch and similar camera bump. However, the iPhone 14 Pro models are rumored to get a new look this year. They’re said to lose the unsightly notch for a pair of pill+hole cutouts.

A new leak suggests the Pro models could also feature a single capsule-shaped hole instead of two cutouts. Moreover, the gap between the selfie camera and Face ID module will reportedly be used as a privacy indicator for the cameras and microphone.

Getting back to the iPhone 14, it is expected to carry a shorter and thinner notch than the iPhone 13. On the back, the handset will have two rear cameras aligned diagonally. It will likely have flat edges and an aluminum frame.

iPhone 14 Specs & Features

iPhone 14 will have the same 6.1-inch display as the previous year’s iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max. It could feature an OLED panel, along with True Tone, Haptic Touch, and HDR support. It is also reported that the standard iPhone 14 model will come with Apple’s ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate, however, it may not be adaptive.

If we talk about the processor, iPhone 14 will retain the last year’s A15 chip. This is definitely disappointing since a new chipset is one of the biggest upgrades Apple brings with each new model.  However, the Pro models are expected to be powered by a new A16 Bionic chip.

The chipset will likely be paired with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of storage. Even though the iPhone 14 will be powered by a year-old chip, it will still be more powerful than most phones on the market.

If we talk about the battery, the iPhone 14 is expected to receive a slight improvement in terms of battery size. We can expect the handset to offer at least 19 hours of battery on a single charge. It will likely carry the same 20W charging support.

iPhone 14 Cameras

Various leaks and rumors suggest iPhone 14 will not be getting any major camera upgrades. It will likely retain the same dual rear camera setup that was seen on the iPhone 13 models. Moreover, the handset may get the same 12-megapixel sensors.

However, Apple may improve the camera and processing of the device with the help of some changes in the software. It may receive some camera improvements with the IOS 16 as well.

While on the front, the device is reported to receive upgraded cameras for better selfies and video calls. All in all, the camera department of the iPhone 14 will be almost similar to the last year’s model.

However, the iPhone 14 Pro models will be receiving some serious camera improvements this year. Apple is reportedly working on a 48-megapixel camera that can capture more detailed and high-quality photos with better control of light.

iPhone 14 Expected Price

There have been rumors that the iPhone 14 Pro models will see around a $100 increase in price. However, it’s unknown if the standard models will see a price hike or not. iPhone 13 was launched at a price of $799 and rumors suggest the iPhone 14 will bear the same price tag.

The 256GB variant of the smartphone may go up to $899. The price seems fair since the device is not carrying any significant upgrades over its predecessor.
