Apple iPhone 14 series release update - expected launch date, price, specifications and features

Apple iPhone 14 series: Apple is likely planning to bring launch iPhone 14 series smartphones - iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Max, and iPhone 14 Pro Max around 14th September. Now a new report has claimed that the ongoing supply chain issues with some key iPhone components will have a “limited impact” on the upcoming mass production of iPhone 14 models. 

Known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in a series of tweets said: “I have learned that recently some iPhone 14 panel and memory suppliers have experienced supply issues, but it should have a limited impact on the coming mass production of the iPhone 14 because other suppliers can fill the supply gap."

As per Kuo, Samsung Display and BOE can fill the initial supply gap caused by LG Display’s issues. He also said it should not take much time for LG Display to address the issue. “Samsung and BOE can largely fill the initial supply gap caused by LG Display’s panel appearance issues (iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14, mainly the former). It’s expected that LG Display should not take much time to address the issue,” he noted.

Apple iPhone 14 series price (expected)

"The rising component costs and Apple’s determination to differentiate Pro and non-Pro iPhones, will see the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max increase to $1099 and $1199 respectively. Apple is also expected to replace the iPhone 13 mini with a Max version could lead to a price hike of about $300," a report from BGR India said.

According to another report from MacRumors, the entry-level iPhone 14 models are expected to keep the same set of rear cameras with wide and ultra-wide lenses of 12MP each. However, this year’s Pro models will get a new wide camera with a 48MP sensor capable of shooting videos in 8K resolution. 

In terms of design, the camera bump on the 2022 high-end ‌iPhone‌ will be 4.17 mm thick, or 0.57 mm larger than the bump on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The space that the bump occupies on the back of the ‌‌iPhone‌‌ will also increase in size by about five percent in each dimension, going from the current width of 35.01 mm to 36.73 mm and height of 36.24 mm to 38.21 mm to accommodate the new camera hardware.
