There are several rumors about what will change in the new iPhones, and one of them is that the Mini model will be eliminated. The iPhone 13 Mini has a 5.4-inch screen, and the iPhone 14 may no longer have a Mini model, but four models (standard and Pro versions, in variants with a 6.1-inch screen, 6, 7, respectively). inches).

So we could have two models with a 6.1-inch screen (iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro) and two models with a 6.7-inch screen (iPhone 14 Max and iPhone Pro Max).

The question being debated is whether the new iPhones will be more expensive, given that many products and services cost 15-20% more than last year. In the US, the cheapest new iPhone 13 Mini starts at $699 for the 128GB model, while the classic iPhone 13 starts at $699.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max starts at $1,099 to $1,599 (for the 1TB version). There are analysts who say that Apple may add $100 to the price of iPhone 14 phones.

Of course, the iPhone 14 will have a more powerful processor, and one would expect the battery to have better autonomy. Other reports suggest significant improvements in night photography. There are also various rumors related to possible new special features, but it remains to be seen whether they will be confirmed or not.

It also looks like the new iPhones will ditch the notch in favor of in-screen cutouts for the front-facing camera and TrueDepth sensor for Face ID.
