iPhone 14: News and Expected Price, Release Date, Specs; and More Rumors

Pre-Order Information

Apple will most likely begin pre-orders on September 7, shortly after announcing the new iPhone. Check back on that day for the pre-order link.

iPhone 14 Features

The iPhone 14 should ship out running iOS 16. Here are some concept photos depicting what the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max might look like running iOS 16:

iPhone 14 Specs and Hardware

The iPhone 13 was the first iPhone to offer 1 TB models, so this will most likely be an option with the iPhone 14, too. We might even have some 2 TB options, but don't expect to see that for a few years.

This might also be the year the iPhone goes entirely port-less. Whether this is what the majority want is another question, but a fully wireless iPhone will probably make its way into our homes at some point, and it could very well start with the iPhone 14.

That said, the renders presented above do show the standard Lightning connector at the bottom like other iPhones, so this is unlikely (assuming the renders are accurate).

Something interesting to note about ports: in mid-2022, the European Commission announced a mandate for USB-C to be the standard port for smartphones. This won't need to apply to iPhone 14 since the rule doesn't start until fall 2024, but it could for any upcoming iPhone, depending on if/when they want to get ahead of it and start rolling out USB-C phones.

Either that, or it will go entirely portless. In other words, iPhone 14 could mark the beginning of something significant: the last iPhone with a Lightning connector, or the first without a physical charge port at all.
