No matter how you evaluate these affair , the iPhone reveal each fall is the exclusive prominent event on Apple ’s calendar . It strike the most customers ( and potential customer ) , it drives the most revenue , and it receive by far the most media attention .
Yet it ’s virtually always a disappointment .
Perhaps that ’s inevitable . How could anything possibly hold out up to the hype generated across an entire class of speculation and rumormongering ? It couldn’t — unless Tim Cook ’s got a sub-$200 notchless and portless iPhone with an under - screen fingerprint sensor tuck into his back sac . No substantial iPhone could compete with the fanciful one in people ’s chief .
But it ’s also a reflection of Apple ’s innate conservatism when it do to its most lucrative product line . Most years , the fellowship but iterate with the Modern iPhone , pop in a faster processor , tinkering with the cameras , and tot support for a communication technical school monetary standard that other manufacturers had included for age . Occasionally , Apple adds curves to sharp boundary or make the notch slightly little . Tech writers canget whole articlesout of these little tweaks , but I suspect to phallus of the general populace the new iPhone scantily seems to have changed in five years .
There ’s an element here of “ If it ai n’t founder , do n’t set it . ” The iPhone is middling much the dictionary definition of unplowed . Despite rarely changing very much , being the brunt of relentless jokes about lack of innovation , and generally having weaker specification than the Android equivalent ( whether or not you consider that such things are important ) , that merchandise line alone makes more money than Microsoft ’s entire concern and is view as the best phone you may buy year after class . bring in a basal change would be ahugerisk .
This is n’t to say that Applenevermakes a heavy change . switch over from the Home release to the snick with the iPhone X in 2017 was a fairly big deal , and referee said so at the time . But Apple also kept around the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus as a hedging . Besides , Apple did n’t have much selection . The iPhone had been made to look antediluvian by progression in the design of Android phone . The sheer inactiveness of those $ 50 billion quarterly revenues stool the iPhone a sorting of corporate cruise liner , able-bodied to change focussing only with hatful of notice , or when nudged by the travail of littler tugboats .

Let ’s get specific . What can we bear from the iPhone 14 ?
Sizes : Essentially the same , give or takea hundredth of an Chemulpo the Pro modelling . Oh , and there wo n’t be a mini exemplar , so the only sizes to choose from will be 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches .
Screen : The same , nick and all . On the Pro modelling , we ’re fair sure the snick is on the way out , but it will be replace bytwo smaller apertures , which we ’re struggling to see as a vast improvement .
Lightning port wine : Not going anywhere . It will likely be replace by USB - C , butnot until 2023at the earlier .
television camera : Also the same : two camera with three camera on the Pro models . There ’s talk ofa 48MP sensor , which would still produce a 12MP terminal image but with far better performance in low light , and 8 kibibyte video on the Pro model .
Processor : At least buyers of the vanilla iPhone 14 can calculate on a next - gen processor … or can they ? There ’s serious lecture that Apple might throttle the newfangled A16 to the iPhone Pro model this fall , and give the canonic iPhone 14 and 14 Maxa slightly souped - up A15 .
As you’re able to see , it ’s shaping up to be a quiet fall . More than ever before , Apple is pushing customers to give for the premium version of its most important product , entrust the standard edition as bore also - rans . And even the Pro models , which are getting the lion ’s share of the changes , are unbelievable to see really radical differences because the enormous stake incentivize conservativism and a fear of peril . Most of the reports we ’ve take have n’t even name the iPhone 14 , and it ’s a wonder if there will be anything different other than a new color and a new sizing .
The iPhone 14 , along with its Pro and Max sib , is expected to be unveiled at a particular event in September . In the meantime , you may keep up with the latest rumour with ouriPhone 14 superguide . But do n’t gestate to find anything all that exciting .
