iPhone 14 Plus or iPhone 14 Max? What to expect on Apple Far Out launch event on September 7

Apple iPhone 14 Plus: Ahead of Apple iPhone14 launch on September 7 at Far out event, a new report has revealed that the new 6.7-inch iPhone might actually be named the "iPhone 14 Plus" instead of iPhone 14 Max. Apple is the launching 4 new iPhones - iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple Watches and other products next week. Apple is also streaming the launch event online on all its social media platforms and website including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The Apple Far Out event in India will start from 10:30 PM IST.

"Apple is expected to announce four new iPhone 14 models at its September 7 event, including a standard 6.7-inch model that has been widely referred to as the "iPhone 14 Max" in reports. However, the device could actually end up having a different name. The leak comes via a Twitter user who shared alleged images of packaging for Apple’s Clear Case with MagSafe. The packaging shows the iPhone 14 Plus name on the front, rather than the iPhone 14 Max name," MacRumors reported. 

"A photo like this could easily be photoshopped, but the iPhone 14 Plus name is still a possibility even if the leak is fake. The name "iPhone 14 Plus" could help to distinguish the device from the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and make it clear that the device is not a maxed-out model in terms of specs despite having a large 6.7-inch display," MacRumors further added.

Apple last used Plus name for the iPhone 8 Plus in 2017. Since then, Apple has used Max branding for its largest-sized iPhones, including the iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and iPhone 13 Pro Max. "Argument can still be made in favor of the iPhone 14 Max name, as Apple selling an iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max alongside an iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max would certainly provide some consistency," the MacRumors reported.

Apple iPhone 14 is likely to be priced below Rs 80,000 in India for the basic variant. MacRumors report said that Apple iPhone 14 Pro will be $1,099 (around Rs 87,838.12) whereas the iPhone 14 Pro Max will cost $1,199 (around Rs 95,830.67). However, the price of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will rise to $1099 and $1199, respectively, due to increased component costs and Apple's drive to separate Pro and non-Pro iPhones. The iPhone 14 Series will be made available for pre-booking from September 9. At the same time, the sale of this series will start on September 16, the report added.
