What to expect from the iPhone 14? Features, design and price

Apple is preparing to launch its new smartphone series iPhone 14 family this year. Although it has been 8 months for the device to be released, leaks have started. It is expected that the main lines of design, price and features will become clear, although not all details are available before the iPhone 14 model is released, especially as with the iPhone 13 last year.

We have brought together the iPhone 14 leak claims and predictions that have emerged so far for you. However, it should not be forgotten that some of the leaks that appear every year are true when the new series is introduced, but some of them remain unfounded.

iPhone 14 features

As in the last two generations, Apple will come up with four models in the iPhone 14 series. But this year, it may surprise and introduce a new device, which it will call the Max, instead of the mini model. Of course, although the subject has not yet been finalized, the SE model, which is expected to be introduced in the coming months, will come in mini form, which will increase the possibilities.

iPhone 13/12 mini

In this case, the iPhone 14 and 14 Max models will be relatively affordable models of the family, while the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will be the expensive devices of the family, with slightly higher-end features, as in the past years. But unlike its predecessor, this time all smartphones are expected to have a 120 Hz screen refresh rate integrated with ProMotion technology. In addition, there are many rumors about Type-C this year, as every year.

Apple was said to be considering a 48 Megapixel camera for the iPhone 14. The company has stuck to 12 Megapixel lenses in its last few models. So an upgrade like 48 Megapixels would be a significant increase. However, it will also enable capabilities such as oversampling, which is liked by users, used in the Pixel 6 and Galaxy S21.

iPhone 13 Pro

In addition, it is rumored that new iPhones can support 8K video. Its rivals have been offering this support for a few years, albeit to a certain extent. If Apple does it, as it has been in the process of transitioning to 4K, it will do just fine. That’s why it has been delaying the phones for years, even though they are ahead of their competitors in terms of performance. Therefore, providing the necessary support this year could make Apple the champion of mobile videography again.

Another camera improvement is said to come with autofocus on the ultra-wide camera. While Apple is already using it on the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max models, it is expected to bring it to all models in the iPhone 14 series. Also, the company is testing a periscopic telephoto lens. However, it is said that this will only catch up with the iPhone 15, which will be introduced in 2023. Therefore, it will not rival the periscope camera we saw on the Pixel 6 Pro this year.

Design changes

The iPhone 14 family will not be much different from 12 and 13 in general terms. The camera island on the back will take up more space with large lenses, as in the 13 models. However, no change is expected in the number of cameras or non-oval side frames.

We may encounter a surprise when we come to the front. Especially when we look at the leaked screen prototypes that are said to belong to Apple, we see that the camera and sensors in the notch may come in a form similar to the hole screen technology. So we expect to see a round hole for the camera. Next to it, a thinner, but relatively large sensor area can be found. But they can all be in a single hole.

But according to some leaks, this hole screen technology will only be on Pro and Pro Max models. In other words, affordable versions of the series may come with the reduced notch design from last year. However, other than that, no difference is expected in terms of design in the devices. In terms of size, it is estimated that the 14 and 14 Pro models will come with a 6.1-inch display, while the 14 Max and 14 Pro Max models will come with a 6.7-inch display.

price expectation

As with all recent Apple smartphones, the next iPhone models are expected to launch around September. Of course, the company had organized its events in the virtual environment for the past 2 years due to the pandemic. Although a face-to-face launch is expected this year, it can be moved to the virtual environment for the third time due to the increasing number of cases in the USA and the rest of the world.

iPhone 13 family

There are many estimations about the price. However, the general opinion is that Apple will remove its mini models with the upcoming 3rd generation SE model. It is said that a new model called iPhone 14 Max will come instead of this device.

In this case, if the mini models continue to be members of the family, the prices will also be quite similar. However, if a new device called Max comes, there will be a new structure in the form of 14, 14 Max, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. Therefore, while the price of the 14 is approaching the mini, the new model will be positioned instead of the 14. But the first guesses are as follows:
