iPhone 14 and 14 Pro: Everything we know about Apple’s new phone

The release of the iPhone 14 is just weeks away – but leaks have already indicated much of what might be due to arrive.

The new handset is set to get some considerable new features, improvements, as well as the removal of some well-known design elements, according to early reports.

Apple is set to release the phone on September 7, alongside a host of other products. But here’s everything we know about the iPhone 14 – including when that big Apple event might be.

Outside design

Apple could give the external design of the iPhone a more considerable refresh than it has done in years. While the iPhone 14 will retain the flat sides and curved rectangular shape that it has at the moment, it could lose other features too.

Numerous reports suggest that Apple has finally got rid of the notch that is cut out of the top of the display in the new devices. Instead, all of the components that are hidden in there – the facial recognition sensor and the front-facing camera – could be stuck into a small cutout in the top of the screen, allowing the display to go all the way up.

That redesign could be kept just to the Pro models. The normal iPhones could just have the same notch as the iPhone 13, rumours have suggested.

Otherwise the design is expected to stay largely the same. There may be some tweaks – such as the repositioning of the camera lenses – but the same rough design will stay.

Inside specs

On the inside, the phones could change less than usual. Some new features are coming – but some might not.

For instance, only the Pro models are due to get the new A16 chip, according to one rumour, with the non-Pro models staying on the iPhone 13’s A15. And the A16 might only be a limited improvement over its predecessor, anyway.

But Apple might make up for that with improvements to the camera system. The Pro models could get a hugely upgraded wide camera, which would allow for both bigger pictures and better pictures in the dark.

The front lens could also get an upgrade, according to some rumours.
