IPhone 14

The iPhone 14 is a line of iPhones developed by Apple Inc. It was announced in a special event on September 7, 2022 and is scheduled to be released on September 16.

New features
The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus feature the 5 GPU version of the Apple A15 SoC previously used in iPhone 13 Pro models. Along with existing 5G service, it also adds Emergency SOS via Satellite for areas where ground-based wireless services may not be available. 2 years of emergency service will be included free with new iPhone 14 models.

Design
Industry reports indicated that Apple may be moving the Pro models of the forthcoming iPhone 14 product line from a notched screen design to a multiple "hole-punched" design (since dubbed the "exclamation point") to accommodate the front-facing cameras and various sensors in 6.06 and 6.7-inch models.

Leaks of CAD data provided to case manufacturers indicated that the base iPhone 14 model may retain the notch. The mini model is also reportedly being discontinued in favor of a larger non-Pro version.

Specifications
The ongoing may force Apple to limit the inclusion of the forthcoming Apple A16 chip to the Pro models of the iPhone 14 line.

Production
Production trials in China reportedly began in July 2022, with mass production starting in August. Wall Street analysts projected strong sales despite weak overall consumer spending due to the general economic downturn caused by inflation. Apple's manufacturing supply chain reportedly experienced "no impacts" from geopolitical issues.

Marketing
Recording of the video announcement of the iPhone 14 series and Apple Watch Series 8 had reportedly begun in August 2022 to be streamed in a special event that is scheduled to be held on September 7.
