Let’s take a quick look at everything Apple is expected to unveil at its Far Out event this week.
iPhone 14 series launching
This year too, Apple is expected to launch four new iPhone models, but there may not be a mini version. As per rumours, the company could unveil the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Plus/iPhone 14 Max, the iPhone 14 Pro, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. All these models are said to come with support for iOS 16, an A16 Bionic chip, and improved cameras and battery when compared to the predecessor.
Considering the rumours, Apple will bring some significant design changes to new iPhones, but that will be limited only to Pro models. In fact, the Pro models are also expected to offer an ultrawide camera, always on display and a lot more new features.
Reports have also tipped the pricing of the iPhone 14. Some reports suggest that the iPhone 14 will launch at the same price as the iPhone 13 while other suggest that the iPhone 14 will be $50 cheaper than the iPhone 13.
Notably, Apple is yet to confirm all these details. So, let’s wait for Wednesday when Apple will unveil the new iPhone lineup.
