14 DAY TRIAL // Everybody knows that a new-generation iPhone is coming in September, as per Apple’s typical calendar, but on the other hand, what nobody knows is when precisely the company plans to host its highly anticipated annual event.
According to a recent tweet from @ihacktu, however, the unveiling could take place on September 13, with the sales to obviously kick off later the same month.
At first glance, the timing makes perfect sense, but on the other hand, the date could easily change if something doesn’t go as planned. It’s believed Apple is working around the clock on making sure all devices would be here on time, as the company wants to avoid a staggered release. As a result, Apple planned to start the mass production earlier than usual in an attempt to prevent any possible delay caused by the lockdowns happening in certain parts of the world, such as in China.
Four iPhone models launching this year
Apple plans to launch four different iPhone models this year, but as compared to the 2021 generation, the 5.4-inch device would no longer be offered.
Due to disappointing sales, the iPhone mini would be killed off, as Apple plans to drop this size completely. The four-model lineup will therefore comprise an all-new iPhone 14 Max (people close to the matter claim it could end up being called iPhone 14 Plus), which will essentially be a larger version of the standard iPhone 14.
Rumor has it the device would use a 6.7-inch screen and the same camera as the iPhone 14.
The Pro models would no longer come with a notch, as Apple is going for a punch-hole display similar to the ones used by Samsung on its flagships. The notch will continue to live on thanks to the standard iPhones, as Apple wants this change to be exclusive to its more premium devices.
