Apple's iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus in a new Yellow color launches today, with the new model available for pickup at Apple Stores in the U.S. and select other countries. Online pre-orders also begin arriving to customers today, and pre-ordering is no longer required.

Apple customers can use the Apple online store or App Store app to order a ‌yellow iPhone 14 for Apple Store pickup. Simply select the "I'll pick it up" option at checkout, enter your ZIP or postal code, and select the most convenient ‌Apple Store‌ location. Customers can then select a pickup date and 15-minute check-in window.

There are no changes to the devices beyond the new Yellow finish, announced last this week. Pricing also remains the same, with the iPhone 14 starting at $799 and the iPhone 14 Plus starting at $899. Apple first released the devices in September with Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple, and (PRODUCT)RED color options.

Apple also made its iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus Silicone Cases available in new Canary Yellow, Olive, Sky, and Iris color options last week.

The iPhone 14 models come in 6.1- and 6.7-inch sizes and are identical in design to the iPhone 13 models, featuring flat edges, an aerospace-grade aluminum enclosure, and a glass back that enables wireless charging. Key new features of the devices include camera enhancements like Action mode, longer battery life, Crash Detection, and Emergency SOS via Satellite.

The new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus ‌are available from today in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, South Korea, the U.K., the U.S., and more than 60 other countries and regions.

It seems that Apple is doing a Pro version of the springtime color (that started with the iPhone 12) every other year

Two years ago, the purple iPhone 12 didn’t have a Pro version but last year, the green iPhone 13 did - in alpine green

So maybe next year Apple will release a new color for the iPhone 15 Pro when they release the new color in the spring - hopefully it’s blue - my favorite color!
 
It's a bit sad that a simple new color is what makes news these days. And also, how cheap is that to only give such a poor color choice ?

Car makers have faced this issue for a very long time, and they all figured the solution : have a base set of colors everyone likes (black, white, silver, gray, red, blue) or at least doesn't dislike, then have a few "exclusive colors" for this model (gold-yellow, electric blue, matte gray,...) with a small price increase, and for those wanting the luxury service some built-to-order colors from a large list with a hefty premium on the price (wine red, olive, pink, etc...).

This works for for everyone: consumers are happy with the options (they can get the color they can afford, the trendy one or the one they absolutely want) and the margins on the options allow the manufacturer to squeeze even more out the consumer's pockets.

But no... here's Yellow. Eat this, peasants.
 
Nice, looking forward to seeing this bright sunny color popping up as people buy them.

I personally won't buy myself a yellow phone but the colour does look great in person IMO. Good for Apple for providing options for everyone. Now let's use the same courage to bring more fun colour options to the Pro lineup

Well said. The drab corporate colors Apple has always clothed their Pro models in, is a bit comic - its definitely a turnoff to any part of the market that wants bright fun colors (and Apple wants the market for their Pro's to be bigger).

I'm thinking the margin's on the Pro's should be a bit better as well (so maybe they could afford some additional fun colors which is an expense of course). Hopefully they change that, but I'm not optimistic - a Cadillac color palette has been embraced for a long time.

Seems like the canary bird flew the coup on this.

Sadly I know several businesses that would like yellow phones for their color.

Now if Apple could make a more durable scanner version.
 
Good thing Apple decided to release this yellow iPhone. I guess I will take back all my "lack of innovation" talk now. Shame on me!!! 🤣

New colour options are mainly to keep everyone talking about iPhones, which is basically what we are doing right now ;)
Yes, Apple knows people already got the 14 if they really wanted it and will not be knocking down doors 🚪 to get this yellow version. This is cheap marketing for them, just change the color of a phone and people start talking about it again and keep things relevant. Nice Spring Break change up

Probably difficult to get popping colours on frosted glass and stainless steel.
