The iPhone 14 (opens in new tab) and iPhone 14 Professional (opens in new tab) are anticipated to be launched in September. That a lot we already know, however when is the precise pre-order date and the way a lot will they price?
With all the data out there, we will now begin to put the items collectively and enable you put together to safe your iPhone 14 early.Â
However earlier than we begin, this piece will deal particularly with costs and launch dates. In order for you a extra in-depth technical comparability of the gadgets, try the iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Professional (opens in new tab) face-off.
iPhone 14 pre-order launch date
Everyone knows the drill by now. Apple drops an announcement occasion on a Tuesday or Wednesday in September with pre-orders opening on the next Friday.
So, taking the leaked iPhone 14 announcement date of Wednesday, September 7, which means it is best to mark your calendar for Friday, September 9 to be the day you possibly can safe your shiny new Apple smartphone forward of a September 16 launch date.
And to corroborate this, Bloomberg (opens in new tab) is reporting that Apple retail retailer employees have been informed to arrange “for a serious new product launch” on this date. As for the time, as soon as once more, Apple has been fairly in step with when the shop will get up to date. For context, right here’s when the iPhone 13 pre-orders dropped:
- PST – 5 a.m.
- MDT – 6 a.m.
- CDT – 7 a.m.
- EDT – 8 a.m.
- BST – 1 p.m.
So, anybody within the UK might want to make a while throughout their lunch break to snag one, whereas anybody within the US ought to set an early morning alarm.
iPhone 14 pre-orders: the place to purchase
To paraphrase Paul Heyman, this isn’t a prediction, it’s a spoiler. You’ll have the ability to decide up the iPhone 14 from just about all over the place you’d count on.
The primary apparent place is from Apple straight. Past that, will probably be just about each community you possibly can presumably think about, corresponding to AT&T and Verizon within the US, and EE and Vodafone within the UK.Â
iPhone 14 pre-orders: worth
That is the place issues begin to get fascinating. We had been anticipating pricing to stay precisely the identical because the iPhone 13 fashions, which appeared like this at launch.
- iPhone 13 – $799 / £779
- iPhone 13 Professional – $999 / £949
- iPhone 13 Professional Max – $1,099 / £1,049
Very first thing you’ll discover is the absence of the iPhone mini, as, given the poor gross sales numbers, Apple appears set to kill off the smaller iPhone mannequin for the 14th iteration. However the second factor pertains to one thing we discovered a short time in the past.Â
You see, the iPhone 14 Professional appears set to get a storage improve on the bottom mannequin, which is sweet information on paper — particularly to these like me who refill that storage with lengthy 4K clips for the Laptop computer Magazine YouTube channel.
However with it appears to be a $100 worth improve, which suggests the Professional fashions may take a much bigger hit in your pockets. With that in thoughts and the rumor that the usual iPhone 14 will miss out on the A16 processor, it appears possible that this would be the instrument Apple makes use of to additional separate the pricing. Right here is our prediction:
- iPhone 14 – $799 / £779
- iPhone 14 Professional – $1,099 / £1,049
- iPhone 14 Professional Max – $1,199 / £1,149
I’d like to be confirmed improper and see Apple hold the identical pricing, so you possibly can nonetheless get a base iPhone 14 Professional for underneath a thousand {dollars}. However we now have to observe the breadcrumbs of leaks from sources which have (nearly) all the time received the massive calls proper and it’s not trying possible.
