"this is our slightly redesigned, slightly faster, iPhone 14 Pro Max that you can get in a slightly different color than the iPhone 13 Pro Max that you bought last year. In other words, it's simply the BEST iPhone we've EVER made. We think you're going to love it."
Good Mornang! Wow! The iPhone 14 line up looks incredible!

The article title makes it sound like it’s official.
it’s not
Thank you. Came here to write this. It really frustrates me when Macrumors writes rumors as facts.
Here are some alternatives:

Apple Likely Planning to Hold iPhone 14 Event on September 7
Apple Possibly Planning to Hold iPhone 14 Event on September 7
Apple Could be Planning to Hold iPhone 14 Event on September 7

Rumors suggest Apple Planning to Hold iPhone 14 Event on September 7
etc. etc.
 
Man for $1200, maybe they’ll give me a slightly bigger battery which cost $2 to source - or a new notch!!! YESSSS!!!!!! My walllet is ready!!!

Just the 14 pro for me, maybe a watch Pro next year.

already treated myself to a MacBook Air this year.
 
Stainless steel makes it look more premium for a Pro model.
To me it’s the biggest downside of the Pro models. I have a 12 Pro Max and will upgrade to the 14 Pro Max but I couldn’t care less about the stainless steel.

I never see it because it’s always in a case, and it adds much weight which I find to be cumbersome. The lightness of the non-pro models are a big plus in my view. I’d like Apple to ditch the steel and go with aluminium for the Pro’s as well.

Genuinely curious of those that state to splurge what seems to be a few thousand on events like this - do you save up for such a thing or is it on credit? or are you just fortunate enough to be in the position to buy these things outright?

This is honestly not a comment that stems from jealousy or envy as it may seem. I am just wondering how others “prepare” should I say for such events like the annual September events.
 
Here's holding out hope that the Pro models are a lighter weight material. I can't stand the heft of the 13 Pro Max, and intend to replace it with a 14 Pro for reduced heft and bulk. If they are Titanium or something that saves even more weight, that will be much appreciated.
The weight difference is so tiny that you probably won't even notice it after some time of use... and the dimensions are going to be the same this year so that won't help you with the bulk.
 
Come on, and remove a reason to upgrade to the iPhone 15? I wouldn't be surprised if they use a phase in approach with USB C. Appease the European Union, but the make the rest of the world remain Lightning for a few more releases.
Apple is all about increasing margins and maximizing efficiency... producing one port for one region and a different port for another region would increase production costs. Highly doubt Tim Apple would do that... he is all about keeping tight logistics.
 
Literally nothing exciting about this event. Still on iPhone X and used to upgrade yearly before that. I cant find a compelling reason to upgrade. I know its all incremental improvements but I cant see how any of it is actually more than a gimmick. Slight improvements in camera are not worth the vast sums of money these phones cost. At least Samsung are innovating. I would happily pay money to be an early adopter but would not want to leave the apple ecosystem or move away from iOS.

Going from a X to a Pro Max would be a reason on its own for me, never mind all the other improvements
 
you could pair the iPhone to a external display
I'm hoping for this in the 15, they're not going to give us MacOS of course, but plug in and it enables the iPadOS multitasking modes and stage manager (which will hopefully be more mature with another OS iteration) would be pretty damn slick and awesome
