But how much do you know this amazing new phone’s design? Do you know about all its features and capabilities? If you want to learn the ins and outs of the iPhone 14 design, you've come to the right place. We've put this comprehensive guide to help you get the information you need. 

Background

Before getting into the nuts and bolts of this new phone, learn a little more about its background and production. 

The iPhone 14 hasn't been unveiled at the time of writing. Some details have been announced or strongly hinted at. But it's possible more amazing new features will emerge when the phone is fully released. 

You can learn a lot from looking at previous iPhone releases. Apple releases iPhones in three-year cycles where the first year offers a complete redesign, the second year offers minor performance alterations, and the final year of the cycle changes the design. As this is the third year of the cycle, expect the phone to have a different feel. 

The design team has indicated they haven't been as ambitious with the phone redesign as they would have liked. Changes to the global economy and slowdowns in supply chains mean certain elements have been unavailable. 

Launch Event

Alongside the iPhone, Apple will likely give details on various other products they're set to launch, including a new Apple Watch. Many of these products will likely feature new compatibility features, so they could help Apple enthusiasts get the best out of their new iPhones. 

iPhone 14 Design Varieties

The iPhone 14 won't be a single phone. Instead, it will come in four varieties, offering a good range of features and prices to suit your needs. 

The standard option will be the basic iPhone 14, its cheapest variety.  Although it will have the most limited features, it's still a quality, reliable phone packed with the latest technology.

Next is the iPhone 14 Pro. This will offer a greater range of features but come with a significant price hike. Most notably, it should feature the best cameras on any Apple device.

The iPhone 14 Max will offer a 6.7-inch screen. Those extra inches significantly boost the phone's capabilities, allowing you to enjoy better visuals and 

 a greater level of control over the phone. 

If you're looking for all the bells and whistles, the top option is the iPhone Pro Max. It's got all the features of the iPhone Pro, along with the bigger 6.7-inch screen of the iPhone 14 Max. This is set to be one of the best phone options on the market, with the perfect blend of quality software and hardware. 

In previous years, some consumers have complained about a lack of difference between the regular iPhone and the Pro version. This year, the Pro version is set to be a significant upgrade on the regular iPhone. Some leaks suggest the Pro versions will have an entirely different chipset and camera sensors, as well as a range of other bonus features.

Processing Chip

The iPhone 14 has some serious power under the hood. Its new A16 processing chip gives the phone plenty of power and opens up a new range of capabilities.

The chip has been under production for some time now and is highly-sought after. 

It's set to be included in only a handful of new phones, while most will remain kitted out with the older A15 chip. 

The new chip is also set to allow plenty more apps and programs to run simultaneously. This is particularly great news for those who use their phone for work or play the latest mobile games.

When you're running multiple apps at the same time, this extra processing power is a must. While previous iPhones have sometimes crashed under pressure, the iPhone 14 much better equipped to handle a range of intensive apps. 

Best iPhone Widgets

it's well worth considering some of the best iPhone widgets.

These simple pieces of software can help you get the best out of your phone. 

Launcher

It's a standard widget that everyone uses. But it's customizable, and with a bit of experimentation, you can make your life easy and be more efficient.

Batteries

Keeping track of your battery life can differentiate between a pleasant day and a total disaster. The batteries widget is a great way to keep track of your phone's expected life. The widget lets you know exactly how long your battery will last and can even help you keep track of connected devices like headphones and the Apple Watch.

Fitness

This pre-installed app is great for those watching their waistline. It tracks steps, and calories burned, and can even measure your performance in the gym. 

Find My

The Find My widget can keep track of all your devices. You can hook up all your devices to this widget, so you'll never have to search down the back of the couch again. Get this widget up and running as soon as possible to help keep your devices secure. 

Memory

Early claims indicate the new iPhone should have a heavily expanded memory. It's expected that the phone will benefit from 6GB of Ram. That's significantly more than competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4.

Working with the upgraded processing chip, this allows space for more apps, games, and other software than ever before. It also helps the phone to run more smoothly and reduces the risk of crashes. 

48-Megapixel Camera

These days, the camera is one of the most important parts of a phone. Whether you're making social media content or just want to preserve memories of good times with friends and family, you'll want to take pictures or videos to remember them.

The new iPhone is set to deliver on this passion for cameras and then some. The 48-megapixel rear camera allows users to take almost pro-standard photos and videos in a flash. It will retain its previous technology, like face unblur and lighting assist modes. 

The front camera is set to enjoy an upgrade too. There will be a new selfie cam with face focus and unblur.  

The new selfie camera may have another important feature too. It could be used with the face-recognition software, adding a new level of security to the phone. 

Despite the addition of these new, powerful cameras, the camera is set to be integrated more seamlessly into the phone's body. There should be no bump in the back, making it entirely smooth. 

Low Light

Some phones offer cameras that work well in optimum conditions but perform poorly when light levels are low. Mobile users aren't generally shooting pictures in a professional studio, so a phone needs to perform well when it's not so bright. 

Apple knows that and has equipped its phones with the tools to take good pictures even in low light. These phones can take 4-12MP photos with plenty of dynamism and boosted shadows. So, when you're having fun with friends or family after dark, there's no need to worry you won't be able to capture the moment. 

Sensors

Some leaks have suggested the iPhone 14 Pro variants will contain a 48 MP sensor. This might not sound like a big deal to the average Joe, but it's a major step forward in phone camera quality. These sensors will hugely improve the standard of video taken on the phone, allowing users to shoot 8K video.

That puts the iPhone 14 Pro Max at the top of the pile when taking video. 

Photo and Video Software

The cameras are superb on the new iPhone 14, but if you want to go the extra mile, you'll need to do a little editing.

Apple has got you covered. After you've finished taking a snap or shooting footage, you can use the built-in software to tweak your work to perfection. Change footage to slow motion or reduce the contrast on your pictures with easy-to-use editing software. 

Revamped Screen

One of the new iPhone's most eye-catching features is its revamped screen.  A truly great phone needs to be easy on the eyes, and Apple has delivered a screen boasting a higher resolution and a streamlined design. 

The new screen dispenses with the famous notch, instead making use of smaller camera cut-outs. The notch has been controversial for many years, with many iPhone enthusiasts feeling that it mars the supposedly all-screen design. 

The display is set to be 6.8 inches for the pro version. You'll enjoy clearer and bigger video screening than ever before. The higher pixel count also means you get a smoother picture compared to a high-definition TV.

Always-On Display

One feature many iPhone fans have been requesting for years is an always-on display. This allows the screen to display a small selection of information that can be viewed at all times, even when the phone is locked. 

This mode hasn't yet been seen in an iPhone, but it has appeared on several other Apple products. There's an always-on mode available on the Apple Watch Series 5 that uses special crystals to ensure the phone doesn't use too much energy. 

Android phones have also had this feature for many years. It's a great way to get more out of your phone when you're on the go and don't have time to go through the process of unlocking your phone, pulling up apps, and digging out the information you need. 

Durability

There aren't expected to be any significant improvements to durability for iPhone 14. The good news is that it should benefit from the same toughness as its predecessor. 

A drop from a few feet up is unlikely to damage the screen or case.  As with all modern phones, the main issue is the potential for screen cracking. With that beautiful new display, it's especially important to get a solid case to protect your device in an accident. 

It's recommended to invest in a quality phone case for your phone. If you're shelling out on an expensive phone like this, it's worth paying a little extra to keep it well protected. 

Privacy and Security

The iPhone is packed with security and privacy features to keep you safe. Considering the price of the phone, and the increase in online threats across the globe, it's important to know Apple has your back with a range of quality security features. 

These protections kick in automatically when you go online. When browsing, Safari automatically protects you from attempts to profile you and provides you with a list of suspect sites in a security report.

You can also add identification and security steps to prevent anyone from taking your phone. You can choose from face ID or Touch ID to ensure you're the only one who can unlock your phone, and you can do it with the touch of a finger, without the need to input a password.

While there are no major additions to existing security and privacy features, the iPhone already had a pretty solid set of protections for users.

Pricing

The new iPhone is expected to come with a significant price hike. With the improved chip and other capabilities, many iPhone fans will be happy to reach deep inside their wallets and pay a little extra. 

The standard price for an iPhone 14 Pro is expected to hover around the $1,000 mark. That represents a hike of around $100. High inflation and supply problems are also factors in pushing up the price.  

For those who don't want to shell out extra, there should be a cheaper option. 

 Since only the pro version is expected to carry the A16 processing chip, the standard iPhone 14 will be available for considerably less.  

As time goes by, getting the new iPhone for less will be possible. Apple will likely announce a series of deals and packages so that, so you can get several devices as a bundle. 

Old Favorites

Along with this wide range of   new features, the new iPhone maintains a range of old favorites. Some of these have been slightly improved or altered for better performance. Others stay true to a tried and tested formula. 

While some have criticized the new iPhone for lack of innovation, some would point out there's no need to change a winning formula. The iPhone 13 was hugely popular and for a good reason. So, as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Battery Life

It's not clear as of now whether there will be improvements to the iPhone battery. Even if there's no improvement this time around, the iPhone batteries are pretty potent as they stand.

The iPhone 13 Pro boasted an increase of around an hour in battery life from the phone's previous incarnation. The new iPhone should continue the trend. 

Connectivity

According to a leak from November 2021, the iPhone 14 is set to be equipped with Wi-Fi 6E. This powerful connection allows the phone to get online even in some of the hardest-to-reach areas. 

Battery Life

The iPhone 13's battery life was a significant improvement over on the iPhone 12's. As per Apple's tests, a full battery could sustain around 75 hours of audio play or 15 hours of online video streaming.

There are not expected to be any major changes to the iPhone 14's battery. The iPhone 14 Pro, running the more powerful processing chip and larger screen, may suffer from a slightly higher rate of battery use, but the battery should be strong enough to get it through the day. 

While the battery life of the new iPhone doesn't quite measure up to the best on the market, it still has the power to last through the day. A little less battery life is a small price for so many great features and quality processing power. 

New iPhone Mini?

The iPhone Mini is a popular variation that suits many of those looking for a cheaper phone with slightly less memory and processing power. 

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like a new iPhone Mini is on the cards this year. The mini's production is set to be discontinued as Apple looked at focusing on its flagship products.

On the upside, there will be a decent range of other new Apple products to look forward to. A new Apple watch is set to hit the market.

Compatibility

When you buy an Apple product, you get more than the one item you're paying for. You get the key to a whole ecosystem of technology, with several Apple devices linking together to provide a range of new capabilities.

The iPhone 14 works together with accessories like the Apple Watch and iPad. You can use an app on your phone before working on a MacBook. You may also use your watch to answer your phone without reaching into your pocket. 

With an increasing range of devices playing an important role in day-to-day life, it's so convenient to be able to link them together. And in this case, the whole is certainly greater than the sum of its parts. 

Customizability

No one wants a phone that looks like it's come straight off the factory floor. Luckily, the new iPhone allows you plenty of opportunities to customize and ensure your phone stands out from the crowd. 

iPhone 14 wallpapers

Take advantage of that high-pixel display with an amazing wallpaper. Many of the best IiOS wallpapers are available for free online download and can add a unique touch to your phone.

The new and improved screen resolution means you can get the most out of vibrant, colorful wallpapers. Selecting iPhone 14 wallpapers for this new screen will likely be a highlight of getting this new phone.  

Colors

The latest leaks show that Apple has pushed the boat out this year regarding color choices. While many media sources claimed the new iPhone would be released with a standard purple color, the actual designs are much more interesting than most people thought.

The phone's standard finish is shimmering, changing between dark and light shades depending on lighting conditions. While it's an eye-catching cover, if you want to stand out from the crowd, there's more you can do to customize your phone. 

Looking Good

The iPhone 14 design is revolutionary. No doubt about it, it's going to be one of the most popular.
