Phones
We’re expecting new phones from Google, Samsung, Motorola and, of course, Apple. Here’s a summary of the rumors so far - for the full lowdown, check out our dedicated phone rumors report!
iPhone
Apple is expected to launch their latest flagship phone range in September 2022. It is likely to consist of four devices: the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
We’re expecting a change to the design, with the famous ‘notch’ potentially replaced by a punchhole camera. The ‘camera bump’ may also become a thing of the past, with a thicker chassis to accommodate for the powerful camera system.
According to rumors, instead of using steel or aluminum to construct the iPhone, Apple may choose to use titanium.
Plus, rumors suggest we may see improvements to efficiency and power with the help of the A16 chip. It’s also been mentioned the whole range will feature an improved ultra-wide camera!
