However, Kuo stated, the iPhone 14 lineup will nevertheless include 4 fashions, a "high-give up" and a "lower-give up," with length alternatives for every.

Release date: Will the iPhone 14 arrive withinside the fall?
There have not but been many official launch date rumors for the iPhone 14, however we anticipate Apple to maintain its annual fall iPhone occasion in September, because it does nearly each 12 months, with the telephones being launched quickly thereafter, normally the subsequent Friday. Sometimes Apple will stagger launch dates for particular fashions, in particular while introducing a brand new layout or length. So it is feasible that the iPhone 14 lineup can have multiple launch date.
Here's what we know:
Apple loves to maintain its occasions on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Apple's iPhone thirteen occasion turned into hung on Tuesday, Sept. 14.
iPhone launch dates are usually per week and a 1/2 of after Apple's announcements.

iPhone 14 fee: How a good deal will Apple's 2022 iPhone fee?
Apple failed to make any essential fee adjustments among 2020's iPhone 12 and 2021's iPhone thirteen. But with larger adjustments anticipated to be at the manner for the iPhone 14, it is affordable to accept as true with that Apple might also additionally boost charges in 2022.
The new iPhone might also additionally see a $a hundred fee growth, in line with Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives.

Camera rumors: A higher the front-dealing with digital digicam and greater for the iPhone 14?
Apple might also additionally have some digital digicam enhancements in save for the approaching iPhone 14. Rumors say the tech massive has selected a brand new dealer for its the front-dealing with digital digicam to make a higher-give up lens. According to a record from Korean tech webweb page ET News, mentioning unnamed enterprise reassets, South Korean dealer LG Innotek will offer the brand new selfie digital digicam for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro.
Kuo additionally shared insights approximately the iPhone 14's capability digital digicam enhancements in an traders notice stated on via way of means of 9to5Mac simply after the iPhone thirteen launch. In the notice, Kuo predicts a hollow-punch the front digital digicam, making the iPhone 14 notchless, in addition to a 48-megapixel huge rear digital digicam for the Pro and Pro Max fashions, up from 12 megapixels on preceding iPhones.
Display analyst Ross Young hypothesizes, however, that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max can have a hollow-and-tablet formed layout to deal with for the the front-dealing with digital digicam and Face ID. The hollow cutout is assumed to be for the Face ID dot projector, and the tablet-formed cutout holds the the front digital digicam and Face ID digital digicam, in line with a January record from MacRumors. Supposedly leaked CAD renders of the iPhone 14, visible via way of means of 91mobiles, corroborate this rumor.
Kuo's hypothesis concerning the digital digicam's megapixel ability aligns with each a latest studies notice from Haitong International Securities, additionally stated on via way of means of MacRumors, and a record from studies enterprise TrendForce. Both Jeff Pu and TrendForce hypothesize the 2 Pro fashions could be geared up with a 48-megapixel huge lens. Pu, however, provides that the iPhones will recreation a triple-lens rear digital digicam machine with a 12-megapixel ultrawide and telephoto lenses further to the 48-megapixel huge lens. The analyst provides that the Pro variations of the iPhone 14 may want to recreation 8GB of RAM, as well. (In evaluation, the iPhone thirteen Pro and Pro Max have 6GB.) This is corroborated via way of means of a record from a Korean weblog that cites home deliver chain reassets, as MacRumors spotted.
iPhone thirteen digital digicam enhancements encompass a brand new Cinematic mode, ProRes video and a few enhancements in zoom competencies. We had formerly stated on rumors that the whole lineup might characteristic lidar, the iPhone 12 Pro's standout depth-sensing characteristic, however lidar ended up making an look simplest at the iPhone thirteen Pro and Pro Max after all. It's feasible Apple would possibly make bigger the characteristic to its complete lineup in 2022 as an alternative, however we have not heard some thing but.
Another of the digital digicam capabilities we are nevertheless ready on is an stepped forward telephoto lens. While the iPhone thirteen Pro's zoom competencies have been given a 3x optical zoom, it nevertheless pales in evaluation to lots of competitor flagships, consisting of Samsung's Galaxy S22 Ultra, which boasts a 10x optical zoom.
Will iPhone 14 get under-show Touch ID?
The characteristic that appears to get kicked down the street the maximum in Apple rumor global is the go back of Touch ID. Early rumors supported the Touch ID's go back coming withinside the iPhone 12, and while that failed to happen, hypothesis became to the iPhone thirteen. But even earlier than the iPhone thirteen launched (sans Touch ID), phrase on the road had shifted again: iPhone 14 might absolutely be it. Now, that is searching much less likely, too. In past due September, Kuo anticipated that it may not be till 2023 that the iPhone regains Touch ID technology. That might be… the iPhone 15?
Design rumors: iPhone 14 is probably notchless... or will it?
YouTuber and iPhone leaker Jon Prosser (whose music report is actually spotty) made waves the week earlier than the iPhone thirteen assertion via way of means of liberating renders he commissioned of the iPhone 14 Pro Max primarily based totally on "actual pics and schematics" leaked to him from purported reassets at Apple.
Prosser's renders corroborate some of formerly stated rumors, consisting of the notchless show and hollow-punch digital digicam formerly stated via way of means of Kuo, and the iPhone 14 Pro's titanium alloy chassis, which turned into first referenced in a 2021 record from JPMorgan Chase. We'd been watching for to look the iPhone thirteen pass notchless, however as an alternative we were given a slimmed-down, however nevertheless very notchy, notch. Apple delivered the arena to the notched show in 2017 with the discharge of the iPhone X, and as competitors solved the selfie conundrum with hollow-punch and under-show cameras, Apple nevertheless hasn't, er, taken it down a notch.
But Prosser's renders appear to align with those in advance reviews that Apple might eventually excise the iPhone's notch in 2022. And Bloomberg's Mark Gurman additionally hinted at its elimination in a September version of his Power On newsletter, in which he anticipated a "entire redesign" for the iPhone 14, even as Young says Apple may want to introduce a hollow-and-tablet formed layout for the brand new iPhone. This hollow-and-tablet show emerged in schematics on Chinese social media webweb page Weibo, and have been later shared via way of means of Prosser.
Those who have been crossing their arms for a notchless iPhone because the iPhone 12 and had their hopes dashed once more via way of means of the iPhone thirteen can probable now sit up for a capability consciousness in their all-display goals in 2022's iPhone 14.
However, earlier than you get too excited, there is a opportunity that now no longer all of the iPhone 14 fashions gets a brand new notchless layout. MySmartPrice posted intended CAD renders of the iPhone 14 in March, depicting -- you guessed it -- a notch. But renders of the 14 Pro version posted the day earlier than on 91Mobiles do display a notchless show. If those rumors show actual, it seems like you may need to spring for the Pro a good way to take away the notch.
iPhone 14 says buh-bye to the digital digicam bump however will it hold the Lightning port?
The different huge layout alternate Prosser's renders display is a flattened digital digicam bump. According to Prosser, the iPhone 14's frame goes to be a "thick boy," thick enough, it appears, to embody all of the digital digicam hardware with out an annoying, sticking out digital digicam setup at the back. Why is the iPhone 14 prepurported to be so thick? Perhaps to residence a larger battery, or maybe the formerly rumored periscope digital digicam, which Kuo projected in 2020. However, Kuo and famed tech leaker Max Weinbach have truly pointed to a thicker digital digicam bump withinside the 14 Pro and Pro Max.
Two earlier rumors that may not pan out, in line with Prosser as a minimum, are the loss of life of the Lightning port and the addition of USB-C (the EU might also additionally pressure Apple to feature USB-C ports to iPhones, however). Rumors of a very portless iPhone were circulating for a even as, however it seems the ones may not come actual in 2022.
Rumored iPhone 14 capabilities and specifications?
Here's the whole thing else we know (and assume we know) up to now approximately the iPhone 14 lineup's specs and capability new capabilities.
An always-on lock display
Apple's iOS sixteen will encompass an always-on mode for the lock display, in line with Bloomberg. This characteristic, however, can be distinct to the high-give up iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Better battery life
Apple's 2022 iPhone may want to provide higher battery life, in line with a record from Taiwan's Economic Daily News (thru MacRumors). This is stated to be because of a brand new 5G chip that might additionally offer the brand new iPhone with Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.
A large battery ability for every version withinside the iPhone 14 lineup may also make a contribution to the higher battery life. According to ShrimpApplePro, the usual iPhone 14 might also additionally have a 3,279-mAh battery, even as the iPhone 14 Pro Max might also additionally recreation a 4,323-mAh battery.
Wi-Fi 6E adoption
The iPhone 14 may be geared up with Wi-Fi 6E, in line with a November notice from Kuo, stated on via way of means of 9to5Mac. However, the analyst says the additives wished for Wi-Fi 6E can be in quick deliver. Apple's rumored VR headset is likewise stated to have Wi-Fi 6E.
A16 chip
Previous hypothesis turned into that the entire iPhone 14 collection might improve to an A16 chip, enhancing upon the remaining iPhone's A15 chip in line with Apple's preceding pattern. However, Kuo anticipated in March that the A16 will simplest seem withinside the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, even as the 14 and 14 Max will hold the A15.
120Hz ProMotion show
All iPhone 14 fashions may want to encompass Apple's ProMotion show, which simplest the iPhone thirteen Pro and Pro Max variations presently have. ProMotion boosts the display's refresh charge for smoother performance, as much as 120Hz. This is greater hypothesis than real rumor, primarily based totally on adjustments in Apple's deliver chain that could make it less difficult for the enterprise to provide the characteristic throughout its subsequent lineup.
Young, however, speculates that Apple will hold to provide ProMotion presentations solely to its Pro fashions. The analyst shows that Chinese producer BOE might be one in all Apple's LTPO OLED show suppliers, however the enterprise does not have a big manufacturing ability proper now.
5G connectivity
Apple delivered 5G connectivity to its iPhone 12 lineup and, unsurprisingly, covered it withinside the iPhone thirteen as well. There's no motive to accept as true with we may not see 5G-well suited iPhone 14s, too. A 2021 record from Nikkei Asian Review additionally predicts Apple will "pass all in on 5G" in 2022.
MagSafe add-ons
Like 5G, MagSafe turned into delivered to the iPhone in 2020's iPhone 12 lineup. The snap-on, magnetic add-ons encompass wallets, battery packs and chargers, and it turned into one in all our favourite iPhone 12 capabilities. The iPhone thirteen is likewise well suited with MagSafe, and we anticipate the equal for Apple's subsequent technology of telephones.
Satellite connectivity
An 11th-hour iPhone thirteen rumor thru Kuo that failed to come to fruition turned into the addition of satellite tv for pc connectivity, which might permit customers to ship textual content messages thru satellite tv for pc in regions with out mobile coverage, as a minimum in emergency situations, as stated via way of means of Bloomberg. Alas, satellite tv for pc connectivity is nowhere to be located withinside the iPhone thirteen lineup, however possibly meaning it is coming withinside the iPhone 14 as an alternative.
