 Apple is holding its next “Far out” special event tomorrow, and the company is expected to unveil a number of new products. Among them, there is the entire iPhone 14 series, and there should be four different models: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

For the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max, they’ll share the same screen size, but that’s about it. Read on as we detail three features the iPhone 14 Pro Max will have that the iPhone 14 Plus won’t have, so let’s take a look!

New display technology

It’s been a while since Apple launched new iPhones with the “Plus” branding, but that’s about to change. This year, there are rumors that Apple will discontinue the mini size of the iPhone, so there will be no iPhone 14 mini. Instead, Apple is likely to release a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and a new 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus.

As you may have noticed, the iPhone 14 Plus will have the same screen size as the iPhone 13 Pro Max. However, the similarities between the two models end there. While the iPhone 14 Plus will use the same display technology as the iPhone 13 with a 60Hz OLED panel, the display capabilities of the iPhone 14 Pro Max will go beyond that.

Based on multiple evidence and rumors, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature a new display design with no notch at the top of the screen. Apple will replace the notch with a pill-shaped cutout that houses the Face ID sensor and new front-facing camera.

Not only that, but the iPhone 14 Pro Max will also feature a ProMotion display with refresh rates ranging from 120Hz to 1Hz. So, for the first time, more expensive iPhone models will feature an always-on display so that even when “off” it will show some visual elements on the screen, just like the Apple Watch.

A16 chip

Every year, Apple releases new iPhones with faster chips. This time around, however, some iPhone models may not have the brand new chip. As 9to5Mac confirmed earlier this year, the mid-range iPhone 14 models will feature the A15 Bionic, while only the 14 Pro models will feature the new A16 chip.

The A15 is the chip in the iPhone 13 series. Although rumors point to a beefed-up version of the A15 Bionic chip with more RAM and possibly a better GPU, the iPhone 14 is still the same CPU as last year’s iPhone. Consumers who want the best performance on the market will have to pay more for an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max with an A16 chip.

Significant camera upgrade

A recent report suggests that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will have minor hardware changes when it comes to cameras. However, major upgrades are expected to be limited to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

For example, the iPhone 14 Pro models are expected to feature a new 48MP wide-angle lens (versus the current 12MP lens), which will enable new video features such as 8K video for the first time on an iPhone. Rumors also suggest that the ultra-wide lens on the 14 Pro models will feature a larger sensor to capture more light, which should result in better photos and videos in low-light scenes.

Not to mention that features like ProRAW photos and ProRes video are exclusive to the Pro model. So if you’re a photography enthusiast, you should probably choose the iPhone 14 Pro Max instead of the iPhone 14 Plus.

 It has been confirmed that Apple will hold its next event on September 7, and we will almost certainly see the iPhone 14 series there. So what can we expect from the iPhone 14 and its finer sibling, the iPhone 14 Pro? How do they compare?

It’s a comparison well worth making, as all rumors point to a bigger gulf between the two phones than we’ve seen in the past. Let’s take a look below!

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro pricing and availability

Both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro will be released on September 7, with retail likely set for September 16.

As for pricing, the iPhone 14 is priced the same as the previous iPhone 13. That means prices start at $799 / £779 / AU$1,349. However, the iPhone 14 Pro is said to increase by $100 and is expected to start at $1,099. Depending on how Apple is priced in other regions, that could mean a cost of £1,049 / AU$1,849.

It should reflect that the performance and feature gap between the two phones may be wider than we’ve seen in the past.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro design comparison

Preliminary reports suggest that the base iPhone 14 will be very similar to last year’s iPhone 13. That means a sharp phone consists of a flat surface with aluminum bezels and glass front and back.

We don’t expect the iPhone 14 Pro to stray too far from the formula, at least in terms of basic shape and size. However, it may see a switch to a different frame, with several sources claiming that the frame of the iPhone 14 Pro will be made of titanium. This will make it stronger than the existing stainless steel Pro frame.

The biggest change is likely to be related to the front of the phone. According to numerous sources, the iPhone 14 Pro will replace the iPhone 14’s typical display notch with a cutout on the screen itself for the selfie camera and Face ID components, making it look more like a modern Android phone. Beyond that, both devices are rumored to be a bit thicker than before thanks to the addition of a slightly larger battery.

In terms of colors, the full list of rumored iPhone 14 colors includes purple, green, black, white, blue, and red, while the iPhone 14 Pro may come in purple, gold, green, graphite, and silver.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro displays

According to the leak, both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro are set to have 6.1-inch OLED displays with the same resolution of 1170 x 2532, but they will be very different.

On the one hand, there will reportedly be a familiar difference between the iPhone 14’s 60Hz refresh rate and the Pro’s 120Hz “ProMotion” refresh rate. Even more interesting is a statement from Korean site TheElec that Apple will use a premium OLED panel in the iPhone 14 Pro, which could lead to better image quality for the high-end model.

There are also rumors that Apple may improve the Pro’s LTPO technology and potentially drop the variable refresh rate down to 1Hz. This will certainly help with Apple’s rumored always-on display feature, which may also be exclusive to the Pro.

iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro camera comparison

Apple’s Pro models always have better cameras than non-Pro models. This is a key differentiating factor.

This year, the gap is likely to be even wider than before. The iPhone 14 Pro has a 48MP main camera capable of recording 8K video and excellent pixel-binned 12MP stills, while the iPhone 14 will likely feature a 12MP sensor similar to the iPhone 13.

Elsewhere, we expect the iPhone 14 Pro to have both an ultra-wide and a telephoto lens, while the iPhone 14 may only have an ultra-wide to support its primary sensor.

According to reliable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, both models will feature improved selfie cameras capable of autofocusing.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro specs and performance

Reports suggest that the iPhone 14 will essentially run on the same A15 Bionic chip as the iPhone 13. It’s likely to be modified and even labelled an A16 of some sort, but it will basically be based on last year’s technology.

Apparently, it’s the iPhone 14 Pro that will receive the real next-gen A16 chip. As such, the performance gap between the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro is expected to be wider than the previous models.

One common denominator could be the 6GB shared RAM allocation, though even so, the Pro series will allegedly use faster LPDDR5 memory, while the iPhone 14 will use LPDDR4X RAM. We’re expecting similar storage options as before, only the Pro offers a maximum capacity of 1TB.

iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro battery comparison

Apple rumor merchant ShrimpApplePro claims that Apple is expanding the battery capacity of both models. The iPhone 14 will apparently increase to 3,279mAh, while the iPhone 14 Pro will increase to 3,200mAh.
