The iPhone 14 series is set to debut in September 2022 and is expected to feature an in-display fingerprint sensor, a first for any iPhone model since Apple moved to FaceID for unlocking. In the iPhone 14 series, the company says to introduce a new model at the lowest price ever with a 6.7-inch screen and 120Hz refresh rate. The iPhone 14 lineup will include the regular iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max in addition to a new model that will not be an iPhone 14 mini.
Cupertino-based tech giant is likely to release an affordable iPhone for the iPhone 14 series with a 6.7-inch display.
Kuo, a popular Apple analyst, said the top-end iPhone 14 models will come with a 48-megapixel wide-angle camera.
It is reported that the iPhones in 2022 won’t have an iPhone mini model, but will be replaced by another affordable handset with a similar compact form factor, said to feature 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 reports, Apple will launch four iPhone 14 models – two high-end iPhone models with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens, and two affordable iPhone 14 models with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens. The iPhone 14 series will include four new iPhones. When it comes to the iPhone 14, it is likely that it will be released in the second half of 2022, preferably in September.
In 2022, the iPhone 14 lineup will feature an in-display fingerprint sensor in addition to Face ID unlocking. According to Kuo, the new models may or may not feature the facial recognition TrueDepth Camera system for Face ID, or they may have both features.
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.
In 2022, the company will focus on the budget category with iPhone SE 3. The latest iPhone 3 leaks confirm a refreshing change without compromising the compact design. The iPhone SE 3 may not launch this year, but in 2022. According to reports, Apple won’t release the next-generation iPhone SE model in 2021. According to the report, the device will launch in early 2022.
The iPhone SE 3 might also support 5G. Apple may unveil the iPhone SE Plus version this year instead of the iPhone SE 2020 successor.
A new leak from renowned tipster Ross Young says the iPhone SE 3 will have a 4.7-inch LCD panel, expected in the iPhone 8 body. As for the iPhone SE 3, it is expected to start at $499 (around Rs 36,400). There will be a Plus version of the iPhone SE in 2021 as well. Given the company’s push to manufacture more phones in India, the price of the SE 3 may remain below Rs 40,000 in India.
