iPhone 14 Rumors: No Sierra Blue, No Titanium Model, Stronger MagSafe Magnets, and More

[kerr]

updated MagSafe Battery with USB-C and more juice?

 

[Mr. Dee]

Everything you are not getting this year, they are saving for the iPhone 15 and 16 Pro/Max releases. Its gonna be interesting to see how this release performs in the market. So many users I know who are on X's and XS releases are still gonna keep their devices a little while longer.

No 2TB Storage Option, Lineup Still Starts at 128GB
This one is 100% true.
I think they had to hog tie Tim Cook down because he wanted to go back to 64GB if they let him.

Hopefully, the iPhone 15 continues to offer some shade of purple. I don’t see the demand for a dark purple though. Apple already has a wonderful lavender for iPads. Why not reuse that?

 

[synergize]

If it doesn't stick to the Fridge, I don't want it!

 

[magicschoolbus]

ready for purple. My favorite color.

 

[Shadowbech]

Eww gross for Green. I liked blue but if no blue for pro time to go back to the graphite color.

 

[DocMultimedia]

Guess my Pro will be silver or graphite, cause I really don't like the other options. Love my current Sierra Blue, but I always sell old ones to buy new ones. Such is life.

 

[cocky jeremy]

So much color debate for some thing ya Cover with a case.

I never use cases. That's why I have AppleCare+. I'd rather break it and pay the $100 to replace it than look at it in a case.

If they up the RAM to 8 GB I might consider upgrading from the 13 Pro Max. If not, I'm waiting until the 15 Pro Max for hopefully USB-c as well as hopefully more RAM.

I hope it has thermal cooling I’m sick of the iPhone going dim every time I use it

For all the talk about Intel cooking PCs, you'd think Apple Silicon would keep iPhones running cooler too

 

[darthbane2k]

Rumors initially suggested the iPhone 14 Pro would start with a higher 256GB storage option to compensate for a rumored price hike, but that no longer seems to be the case.

The most disappointing of the news. How Apple is going to justify such a hike in this difficult economic climate is beyond me. Then again I reckon they are betting everything on the non-pro max model.

 

[darthbane2k]

Easy money for Apple to get from storage upgrades.

it’s partly they being greedy but mainly them driving people towards services (iCloud storage specifically)

They need to do something about the weight. The iPhone 13 is fine, but the 13 Pro Max is way too heavy. I'm downgrading to the iPhone 14 Pro just to have something more compact and less awkward to use.

I’m considering downgrading as well this year but it really depends on battery life. If the battery life stays the same as 13 Pro or improves, I’ll consider it. Otherwise, I need to stay with the Pro Max as the longer usability is a must for me.

so theres no way you can disable that? if you live in a warm country during summer it will always automatically dim ?

Can't imagine what you're doing with the phone. I finish an entire day with at least 60% remaining on the 13 Pro Max.

I think I want the normal Max now, but then they will pull their BS and put the cool stuff on the PM, then I will wind up getting nothing, which might be good this year.

 

[KOTN91]

I don’t want to sound like a broken record here, but if there isn’t USB-C I don’t see a point in upgrading.

This doesn’t make any sense. Why the obsession with an Android technology?

I agree the weight is getting a little out of hand for a phone. Samsung in this regard is miles ahead.

 

[tridley68]

I'm thinking Green or purple had the Alpine Green before but never owned a purple phone.

Android technology? lol what?!

 

[JosephAW]

One of these days Apple will figure it out, just wrap the entire device in E-ink and the user can choose whatever color or pattern or design they want.

 

[compwiz1202]

What ever happened with all the talk about the new iPhones being bad because of the magnets. And now they are making them stronger?

 

[Macative]

I agree the weight is getting a little out of hand for a phone. Samsung in this regard is miles ahead.

That's like saying isotoner gloves are miles ahead in this regard. They aren't comparable things.

No and it stinks at amusement parks where you do a lot in the app.
