Rumors for upcoming products can sometimes be hard to follow, so we thought we'd do an at-a-glance rumor summary for the iPhone 14 so our readers can get a quick overview of what we might see without having to delve into tons of reading. We've separated the info into iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro lists, as these models are expected to be quite different in 2022.
iPhone 14 Pro Models

• 6.1 and 6.7-inch sizes
• No notch, under display Face ID hardware
• Hole-punch cutout for front-facing camera
• 120Hz ProMotion display
• Triple-lens camera
• 48-megapixel wide-angle lens
• Titanium chassis possible
• iPhone 13 flat-edged design
• 8GB RAM
• Less/no camera bump possible
• Faster 5nm A16 chip
• Faster 5G
• Satellite-based emergency features
• WiFi 6E

iPhone 14 Models

• 6.1 and 6.7-inch sizes (no 5.4-inch)
• Notch and standard Face ID hardware
• Likely no ProMotion, but possible
• Dual-lens camera setup
• Less/no camera bump possible
• Aluminum chassis
• iPhone 13 flat-edged design
• 6GB RAM
• Faster 5nm A16 chip

Note that these are early rumors, and some of these features might not pan out or might have to be scrapped if there are manufacturing issues. What we get in September might ultimately look different than what we're expecting in December, but in past years, most early iPhone rumors we've heard have turned out to be accurate.

If you want to read more about the iPhone 14, we have an in-depth roundup that's regularly updated with all of the new rumors.

The thing I'm most looking forward to, if it pans out, is the reduction or elimination of the camera bump on the back. The camera bump right now on my iPhone 13 Pro is fine — but it be much sleeker if it could be eliminated.

Titanium for weight reduction on the pro, then make it thicker with a bigger battery for no camera bump might make this a worthy a year over year upgrade.

2022 is going to be a big year. Glad titanium is taking over a stainless steel frame. Everyone should be expecting or thinking to upgrade to the iPhone 14. Let’s go!!!

Mona Lisa approves it.

Another year of Tim Cook saying “This is the best iPhone we've ever made. We think you are going to love it.

I really hope Apple brings Matte black option in 2022. It’s long over due.

iPhone 7 Plus max color pattern vibes.

“Is your life basically on your iPhone?” “Well come to thing of it.. it is”…”so why wouldn’t you get the latest and greatest every year sir?”..”ya know when u think of it that way you’re absolutely right”….recent conversation

I don’t think these are rumors. There are display experts, analysts who have said big things are happening. Expect a complete redesign.

What happened to the "periscope" lens rumors?

 

[djgamble]

FaceID is such a great feature during COVID /s

Surprised they haven't brought back fingerprints.

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

What happened to the "periscope" lens rumors?

I believe that will happen with the introduction of 48 mega pixels camera.

 

[alphasports]

Great, another micro-update with more lightning cables and notches on all but the "pro" phones...in 2022! Love my new MBA M1 (that's far cheaper than many iphones...WTF?) but I'm waiting for my daughter to break her iphone 6s so I can give her my 12 that's at the bottom of my phone drawer since I reinstated my 2 year old Oneplus 7T that has far better features than the predicted iphone 14 Pro Max at one THIRD the price. Tired of the annual Apple cash grab, threw away my tickets to that parade.

I’m still trying to figure out if you are Mark Gurman, or are simply his greatest fan…

Sat texting will be the next killer app.

Mark Gurman is the 🐐 no questions or doubt about that.

This has got to be the earliest recap of rumours for the next iPhone. Heck, it's like 10 months away!

All I want out of an iPhone: Mini size, USBC connection, touch ID.

I don’t think mini-size will happen next year. This is the year to get it

 

[popdan]

I've thought about getting one and tossing it in a drawer as a backup. They're really nice phones! And very capable.
