iPhone 14: The complete guide to Apple’s next flagship iPhone
Apple’s yearly iPhone launch is the biggest date in the company’s calendar. And after several years of cautious upgrades, expectations are high for the iPhone 14 in late 2022.
In this article we round up the latest leaks and rumours concerning Apple’s next flagship iPhone launch, including the iPhone 14’s release date, tech specs, design changes, new features, pricing, and more. The latest news is that all iPhone 14 models are expected to get an upgraded front camera with autofocus and an f/1.9 aperture, while a controversial hole + pill design is set to replace the notch on the Pro models and the handset could gain an always-on display.
RELEASE DATE
We expect the iPhone 14 to be announced in mid-September, and hit stores around a week later.
Apple nearly always debuts its new iPhones in September each year, with COVID-19 causing one notable exception in 2020. It’s possible there will be similar delays this year – while the iPhone 14 Pro entered test production on schedule, the non-Pro models appear to have been delayed slightly – but we’d be surprised if Apple wasn’t able to get a handle on these issues in time for the autumn. Mark September 2022 in your diary for the coming of the new models. Here’s when the past few generations arrived:
iPhone 13: 24 September, 2021
iPhone 12: 23 October, 2020
iPhone 11: 20 September, 2019
iPhone XS: 21 September, 2018
(Note that one iPhone has arrived already in 2022: the iPhone SE 3 was announced at Apple’s spring event back in March. But the flagship launch will have to wait until the autumn.
DESIGN
