Apple rumored to unveil the iPhone 14, three watches, the AirPods Pro 2 on September 13th

As you probably already know, Apple’s next big iPhone event will take place in September. According to iDropNews, the company has already decided to hold the event on September 13th. Even though it’s still about four months away, before you know it, you’ll want to see Apple promote the four models that make up the iPhone 14 series. We were to see Apple introduce a 6.1-inch iPhone 14, a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max, a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Apple will expand the differences between Pro and “non-Pro” iPhone models this year

Apple will reportedly equip the iPhone 14 Pro models with the 4nm A16 Bionic chipset, while non-Pro phones could reuse the 5nm A15 Bionic SoC found under the hood of all iPhone 13 handsets. This could help Apple widen the gap between 2022 Pro and non-Pro models. Most consumers have no idea which chip drives their phone and most do not care. Reusing the chip could help Apple make the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max more competitive in terms of price.

Glass panels allegedly for the iPhone 14 models were published on the Chinese social media app Weibo

We’ve seen reports that even though Apple recycles A15 Bionic chips on non-Pro iPhone 14 phones, it can still give them a different name (like calling them A16 Bionic and giving it the new 4nm SoC A16 Pro). Apple hopes that for its customers, this handshake takes the sting out of paying a high price for a phone that recycles last-generation chipset.

Other differences include the replacement of the notch on the iPhone 14 Pro models with the “in-shaped” cutout for the FaceTime camera and the True Depth camera; meanwhile, the cheaper non-Pro models will continue to be at the top. Other enhancements expected to be found on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max include the 120Hz ProMotion screen and the 48MP Wide camera on the premium models

While the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini did not manage to get any traction, it will be interesting to see how well the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max sells. It could bring lots of sales from those who have always wanted the largest possible iPhone screen but could not afford the latest Pro Max device.

There may also be: the long-awaited AirPods Pro 2 and three Apple Watch models

The report calls for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max to start at $ 799 and $ 899 respectively. Storage options can include 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB of storage space. iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max can be priced from $ 1,099 and $ 1,199 respectively. The storage options could be 256 GB, 512 GB, 1 TB and possibly 2 TB (although Apple usually makes such adjustments every two years, which means that a 256 GB basic option and a maximum storage option of 2 TB may not happen before 2023).

We could see Apple introduced a trio of Apple Watch models in September including the Apple Watch 8 (as again, it’s rumored to have flat sides), a new Apple Watch SE budget watch and a brand new Extreme Edition that will compete with smartwatches designed to track outdoor sports and activities.

Also on the menu is the AirPods Pro 2. The long-awaited successor to Apple’s premium TWS earphones. The laptop can come without stems, have the next generation of Active Noise Cancellation and support Lossless Audio. AirPods Pro 2 may also support USB-C charging for the charging case.

While many expect Apple to sharply take battery life up another big step, it may have to wait for the iPhone 15 line. For the first time, Apple greatly increased the battery capacity with the 3969 mAh battery found inside the iPhone 11 Pro Max. That was a 20% increase over the 3179 mAh battery used on the iPhone 10 XS Max.

But with the iPhone 12 Pro Max, Apple took a breather and dropped battery capacity by 7.1% to 3687 mAh. Battery life was slightly improved thanks to the A14 Bionic chip used in that series. It was the first SoC building on the 5nm process node used on an iPhone, and the 38.8% increase in transistors from the A13 Bionics 8.5 billion to the 11.8 billion packed inside the A14 Bionic was capable of to give battery life a boost.

After last year’s 18% increase in battery capacity on the iPhone 13 Pro Max (from 3687mAh to 4352mAh), we may have to wait until next year to see another huge pop in iPhone battery life.
