Rumours 10: The Best Features of the iPhone 14 - and How Likely They Are to Happen

The iPhone 14 Max is said to be the star of Apple’s fall event. There are going to be four iPhone models launching this year as well and one of them is said to be the iPhone 14 Max. What could make the iPhone 14 Max interesting is the kind of specifications it is expected to offer at the price point. Rumours and leaks suggest that Apple will ditch the iPhone 14 mini for the iPhone 14 Max and it kind of makes sense. The mini iPhone models like the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone 13 mini have reportedly impacted the sales of the iPhone SE series. The latest model in the series is the iPhone SE (2022), which starts at a price of Rs 43,900 and goes up to Rs 58,900. The iPhone 14 Max could be the star of Apple’s next event because it is likely to offer features similar to the Pro models and yet come at a cheaper price. In terms of pricing, the iPhone 14 Max is expected to cost just $100 more than the iPhone 14 and $200 less than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Leaks suggest that the iPhone 14 will be priced just the same as the iPhone 13 at $799 in the United States. Going by that, the iPhone 14 Max could be priced at $899. In India, the price of the iPhone 14 Max is likely to be higher considering factors like GST and import duties. To recall, the iPhone 13 was launched at $799 (Rs 62,400) in the US, but in India, it started at Rs 79,900.

Face ID Will be Revamped

The iPhone X had the most unique face unlock system. It registered face details and authenticity by a TrueDepth camera system and infrared system. However, there have been reports that it was not able to properly scan the face of people with darker skin tones. Apple is expected to revamp this system with the iPhone 14. Leaks suggest that the iPhone 14 will have an improved facial recognition system and it will also have a fingerprint sensor for authentication. This means that authentication could be done either by the face or fingerprint or both. This system is likely to be faster than Face ID and could be as quick as Touch ID.

New iPhones May Have Dual-Cameras for Better Photos & Videos

The iPhone 13 has a single lens camera on the back, but the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are expected to come with a dual-lens camera. This could mean the iPhone 14 Max could come with the same camera setup as the other two phones. This dual-lens camera system could come with a telephoto lens, a wide-angle lens, and an improved image sensor. The zoom capabilities of the telephoto lens could be 2x while the wide-angle lens could have 10x zoom. A new image sensor on the iPhone 14 could help with low light photography and could be as powerful as the sensor on the iPhone XS series. It could also improve colour reproduction and dynamic range.

Apple Watch Devices Could Be Discontinued

With the iPhone 14, we might see Apple discontinue some of the models of the Apple Watch. Rumours suggest that it could be the first time Apple discontinues the Apple Watch. If this happens, we might see the Apple Watch Series 5 being the only model available in the market. There is a possibility that Apple might drop the Apple Watch Series 4 and introduce a completely new device in the Series 5 model. This new Series 5 model might have a larger display. It might also have a larger battery and a better processor. The Series 5 model might have a design that is similar to the Series 4 Apple Watch and a larger display. This could mean that the Series 5 could be thicker than the Series 4. This new Series 5 model might also come with an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor.
