The iPhone 14 series will launch in September 2022 and feature an in-display fingerprint sensor for the first time since Apple switched to FaceID to unlock the phone. In the iPhone 14 series, a new model with a 6.7-inch screen is expected to be introduced at the lowest price. The upcoming iPhone 14 lineup will include the regular iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max, apart from a new model, which won’t be an iPhone 14 mini.
The Cupertino-based tech giant will probably come with an affordable iPhone for the iPhone 14 series, which will boast a 6.7-inch display.
Popular Apple analyst Kuo revealed that the top-end iPhone 14 models would pack in a 48-megapixel wide-angle camera.
The upcoming iPhones in 2022 won’t have any iPhone mini model, and will be replaced by another affordable handset with a similar compact form factor, said to sport a 6.1-inch display. The first iPhone mini debuted last year with iPhone 12 series and may see an upgrade in 2021 as iPhone 13 mini.
According to the latest reports, Apple will introduce four iPhone 14 models, two high-end iPhone models in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch sizes, and two affordable iPhone 14 models in the exact sizes: 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens. So, the iPhone 14 series will include four new iPhones. Coming to iPhone 14 launch date, the upcoming iPhones will come in the second half of 2022, preferably September.
In terms of upgrades, the iPhone 14 lineup is expected to come with an in-display fingerprint sensor in 2022 alongside the Face ID unlocking feature. As per Kuo, the new models could retain the facial recognizing TrueDepth Camera system for Face ID or not or have both the features to unlock the device.
iPhone 14 Pro Max, the top-end iPhone model of the 2022 series, is said to have the lowest price ever, Kuo said. The upcoming iPhone could be priced under $900 in the US (around Rs 66,800). Currently, iPhone 12 Pro Max starts at $1,099 (around Rs 81,500) in the US. The Apple analyst also suggested 8K video recording support for the 2022 iPhone 14 models.
Apple will focus on the budget category with the iPhone SE 3 in 2022. The latest iPhone 3 leaks indicate a refreshing change without sacrificing the compact design. Apple SE 3 may not launch this year, but in 2022. According to reports, Apple will not release the next-generation Apple iPhone SE model in 2021. The device will launch in early 2022, according to the report.
The iPhone SE 3 might also support 5G. In lieu of the iPhone SE 2020 successor, the company may unveil the iPhone SE Plus version this year.
According to tipster Ross Young, the upcoming iPhone SE 3 will ship with the 4.7-inch LCD panel, which is expected to be in the iPhone 8 body. iPhone SE 3 price has been tipped and may start at $499 (around Rs 36,400). For 2021, Apple will release an upgraded version of iPhone SE, called iPhone SE Plus. Phone SE 3 price in India may stay less than Rs 40,000 given the company’s push to manufacture more phones in the country.
