The month of September has finally started and with it, we can expect a bunch of smartphone announcements like never before. We will be welcomed by the most-anticipated iPhone 14 series, which will be debuting at the ‘Far Out’ event on September 7th. This is the most hyped-up announcement for the month. This will be followed by a bunch of other launches from other brands like Motorola, POCO, Redmi, and even Huawei. These announcements should keep the world of tech busy and excited.
Here’s a closer look at the phones and their specifications launching next week. Let’s get started.
1. iPhone 14 series – September 7th
The iPhone 14 series is set to launch on September 7th at the ‘Far Out’ event. The lineup is expected to include four models: the standard iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus/Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro will have a 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 14 Max/Plus and iPhone Pro Max will get a larger 6.7-inch screen. The Pro models this year will get an LTPO display with an adaptive refresh rate and possibly an always-on-display functionality for the first time.
The Pro models will arrive with a new A16 chipset for performance improvements, 48MP primary camera and there are rumours that we might see a slightly fast charging support. Speculations are rife that Apple might ditch the 128GB storage version for a 256GB model. If rumours are to be believed, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will get a new pill-shaped punch-hole design for the Face ID and front camera sensors. There are chances we might get a slightly bigger capacity battery.
