The iPhone 14 series is likely to be announced on September 7th, according to a new report. As is always the case, Apple announces its next-gen iPhone in the second half of the year. However, with the market having been shaken by lockdowns and shortages over the past couple of years, Apple and other tech companies have had to reevaluate and make adjustments to some of their launch plans. All of which had meant it was slightly less clear whether the iPhone 14 lineup would arrive on time this year.
The iPhone 13 series the new iPad mini were introduced.
Now, it looks like the date for the iPhone 14 launch has been set as September 7th, 2022. The information comes from a new Bloomberg report which cites “people with knowledge of the matter” for the details. The report also points out that, although the iPhone 14 lineup will be announced on September 7th, the new iPhone are unlikely to become available to buy before September 16th, with pre-orders likely opening a week before then.
A Tale Of Two iPhones
One of the consistent and clear themes that have emerged during iPhone 14 hype season is that this year's lineup are going to have far less in common with one another. For one thing, Apple appears to now be done with the mini model, opting to launch two Max models instead. More importantly, however, is Apple is approaching the standard and Pro iPhone models far more differently this year, in an attempt to further highlight that the Pro and Pro Max are actually pro smartphones.
If the various rumors and reports are to be believed, this will mean that the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will come with far fewer selling points than the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. For example, while the Pro models will reportedly be equipped with potentially seeing a price bump compared to last year.
