There are a few things in life that are certain: death, and taxes. And the fact that Apple will release a new generation of the iPhone every year. We’ve heard a tonne of leaks and rumors about the upcoming iPhones. This is to be expected given the super-premium status of the upcoming Apple iPhone 14 family. Which is scheduled to be released in September, possibly on September 13 of this year.
So, exactly what have we been hearing up until this point?
A lot of things, including but not limited to the end of production for the iPhone mini. And the introduction of a new size category (an affordable iPhone Max). A significant design change in the form of a punch hole cutout replacing the infamous notch. As well as faster hardware on the premium iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, but also. A higher price!
And Apple is planning to release all of this by September 2022 at the latest.
Date of release for the Apple iPhone 14
According to the most recent rumors from drones, Apple is planning to make the public debut of the iPhone 14 series on September 13, 2022. The product is expected to become available for purchase on September 23, 2022.
This is due to the typical timeframes that the company prefers and adheres to on an annual basis. Apple typically announces its new phones on the first or second Tuesday of September. And then releases them approximately ten days later, always on a Friday.
The keynote event for the launch of a new iPhone typically takes place at the Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino at ten in the morning local time. Which is six in the evening GMT. During this event, Apple CEO Tim Cook. And other involved key executives take the stage to officially unveil the new iPhones. We anticipate that the announcement regarding iPhone 14 will take place solely in virtual form, just as it did during WWDC’22.
The following provides a reference for Apple’s iPhone release schedule. Beginning in 2018 and continuing onward, and includes the iPhone 14 as well as the anticipated release date:
Cost of an iPhone 14
Recent rumors suggest that the price of the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be greater than that of their predecessors. The anticipated price increase can be attributed to several different factors, the primary ones being an increase in the cost of components in general. And the display in particular, as well as overall inflation in pricing throughout the supply chain.
In addition to this, Ben Wood of CCS Insight claims that Apple has been considering increasing the price of all iPhone 14 models by one hundred dollars. But that the company may ultimately decide against making the price adjustment due to the rising cost of living. There is a possibility that Apple will decide to only increase the prices of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
There are rumors that Apple is still debating whether or not to increase prices. Particularly in countries other than the United States. If it does occur, then the following is a possible breakdown of the price points for Apple’s product lineup in 2022:
Anticipated prices
It is essential to note that the iPhone 14 Pro Max in particular may experience a greater increase in price if the rumored major camera overhaul takes place. We do not anticipate a significant increase in the prices of the remaining models. And once again, if we do observe such a price increase. It is likely that it will have the greatest impact on the Pro models.
iPhone 14 Name
According to recent rumors, Apple is working on four new devices for release in 2022 and will almost certainly discontinue its iPhone mini product line at that time. As some recent rumors claim, the iPhone 14 Plus, essentially resurrected the name that Apple gave to its first 5.5-inch iPhone back in 2014. This would be a first for Apple.
