Apple on Wednesday announced an all-new iPhone lineup with the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max at the higher end of the spectrum. These handsets hail a ton of new technology, some of which aligns with the rumors we’ve been hearing over the past couple of years.
In addition to the new iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, Apple today announced the iPhone 14 Pro. The premium handset offers a number of features not including in the lower lines, such as an all-new 48 megapixel camera and an always-on display.
Apple's Pro-branded iPhone 14 models are rumored to sport even bigger batteries to power new features like an always-on display. Also, the display bezels should shrink.
Samsung considers itself one of the primary competitors out there to Apple in the smartphone space. And it certainly is! But that doesn't mean it's not shying away from good old-fashioned marketing cheap blows to try and get ahead anyway.
Apple may use the iPhone 14's rumored pill-shaped notch to display the privacy dots instead of the iOS status bar when the camera or microphone is being used .
Apple could resort to software trickery to conceal the iPhone 14's notch by making the hole-punch and pill-shaped cutouts appear as a contiguous, longer pill shape.
Apple may raise iPhone 14 prices this year, with the baseline iPhone 14 expected to start at $749, or $50 less than the 128GB iPhone 13 which starts at $799.
Apple might supplant the pink color with a new dark purple iPhone 14 option while the Sierra Blue colorway will be ditched for a dark shade of purple.
A new, improved ultra-wide camera on the iPhone 14 Pro models should boost your low-light night photography with a much larger sensor rocking 1.4µm pixels.
While Apple typically retains a few color options for the iPhone lineup year to year, the company has also made it a point to shake things up with at least one color variant at the same time. The company will typically replace the previous year's new color entry with another new color variant. And we'll probably see that happen again this year, too.
Who's ready for a price increase for the iPhone 14 Pro models, with the upcoming devices potentially costing $100 more vs. their iPhone 13 Pro counterparts?
Apple could set its iPhone 14 event for September 7, Bloomberg has it, with sales apparently kicking off the following week on September 16.
