Launch of a new iPhone 14: Probably a delay; separate release and higher price is almost a given

The recent leaks of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro have revealed two very different phones. While the standard iPhone 14 models will inherit the same design, chipset and rear cameras as the iPhone 13, the iPhone 14 Pro models will leap forward with improvements in the three departments and increased prices to match

The Apple iPhone 14 may have split release dates, rather than a single release date reported by various internal sources close to Apple. Due to the blockade in China, many key Apple vendors are expected to fail to meet deadlines, and this could eventually lead to delays, sources suggest.

The difference in iPhone 14 launch dates has surfaced around the world, as TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and Ross Young, chief executive of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), mentioned it.

“My latest checks on the channel show that Apple has not changed its delivery plan for the iPhone 14 since the blockade in Shanghai. The iPhone 14 Max is lagging behind, but is still under control and vendors can work overtime to catch up on graphics, ”tweeted Ming-Chi Kuo.

However, Ross Young, one of the most accurate insiders in the industry, objected that “deliveries of iPhone 14 Max panels have always been lagging behind.”

Divided edition not for the first time

In any case, this will not be the first time the iPhone has adopted this strategy. Earlier, Apple adopted the same strategy for the iPhone 12 / iPhone 12 Mini. The split sales strategy was also adopted for the initial sales of the iPhone 8 / iPhone X.

Kuo also challenged a recent report by ET News that supply problems forced Apple to install a front-facing camera module for the iPhone 15 a year earlier at a high price.

“This report is not entirely in line with my understanding,” Kuo said. “If LG Innotek became the supplier of the front camera of the iPhone 14 in the second quarter of 2022 (second quarter of 2022), it would be almost impossible to catch up with the development schedule of the iPhone 14 2H22. I believe that Apple has already chosen LG Innotek and Cowell as iPhone 14 suppliers of front cameras in 4Q21 at the latest (fourth quarter of 2021).

This is in line with Kuo’s earlier claims that production of the iPhone 14 is generally “under control at the moment”. However, Nikkei Asia and Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Poo believes that deliveries of the iPhone 14 Max have been delayed by almost a month, according to a Forbes report.

The gulf between the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro

Divided or not, the recent leaks of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro have revealed two very different iPhones. While the standard iPhone 14 models will inherit the same design, chipset and rear cameras as the iPhone 13, the iPhone 14 Pro models will leap forward with improvements in the three departments and increased prices to match.

According to reports, the iPhone 14 Pro will have a starting price of $ 1099. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be priced at $ 1199.

IPhone 14 Pro models are expected to receive the A16 chipset. However, iPhone 14 (non-Pro version) models are expected to receive the A15 chipset. The A15 chipset is currently available on iPhone 13. The A16 chipset is expected to provide faster processing than the A15.

In addition, the iPhone 14 series will consist of four devices and will not include a mini version. This means that all devices will have a display over 6 inches. The iPhone 14 series will include iPhone 14 (6.1 inches), iPhone 14 Pro (6.1 inches), iPhone 14 Max (6.7 inches) and iPhone 14 Pro Max (6.7 inches).

In India, mobile sales websites set a price of Rs 99,990 for the iPhone 14 and set September 8 as the launch date. However, they are cautious and call it an “informal meeting”. According to 91mobiles.com, the Apple iPhone 14 has three cameras – 48 MP and 13 MP dual main cameras and 13 MP front camera – and has the first 48MP camera sensor that can record 8k videos.

iPhone 14 is configured with a six-core (dual-core, 3.1GHz, Firestorm + quad-core, 1.8GHz, Icestorm) processor, supported by the Apple M14 motion coprocessor. The device also showcases a 5nm chipset Apple A14 Bionic, which is combined with 6GB of RAM and Apple GPU, as well as a non-removable lithium-ion battery of 3815mAh.

It has leading functions such as dust resistance and water resistance. However, “the internal memory is only 64 GB (cannot be expanded) and the battery power is quite average,” it said. The phone is expected to be available in black and gold.
