Live leaks of the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro: analysing the specifications and launch window

 Good day, or afternoon, depending on where you are in the world. There are just a few days left until the release of the iPhone 14 (which, in case you managed to forget, will be on September 7).

The problem is that a lot is going on. The iPhone 14 will likely be supported by the iPhone 14 Pro Max as the star of the show. The Apple Watch 8 and Watch 8 Pro are also available, as well as the AirPods Pro 2 if they become available.

There is, in short, a tonne of stuff going on. If you're just wondering whether the new iPhone will be the right one for you, that's what we're (well, I'm) here for today: telling you the key leaks that you should be considering, and welcoming any comments you might have on Twitter - catch me on @Superbeav and I'll add your thoughts to the discussion.

While we're on the subject of battery life, have a look at this little tidbit from respected journalist Mark Gurman, whose Power On newsletter regularly features intriguing updates on what Apple is working on.

This time, he discusses how the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will have bigger batteries because Apple is almost expected to include new Always-On displays in these devices.

Yes, these are capabilities that Samsung and many other Android rivals have long had. However, it is believed that Apple will achieve this by introducing a new capability to its OLED displays that will reduce the refresh rate to 1Hz, as it does with the Apple Watch 7.

It's a smart technique to keep battery life from being drastically reduced while yet adding a genuinely useful new function. Samsung estimated that its always-on display used 1% more power per hour, but I think Apple's version will use it even more effectively.

The fact that the battery sizes are displayed in that 'leaked' listing greatly irritates me. It wouldn't have that information on it if this was a genuine leak from Apple, maybe one that was distributed as embargoed marketing material.

Prior to launch, Apple will undoubtedly work with important third-party vendors on things like cases and other things. However, it would never reveal the iPhone 14 battery size because it would be irrelevant. Accordingly, I believe that this paper is an amalgamation of the most recent leaks to be posted online.

The battery sizes, however, are in line with what we had anticipated: the iPhone 14 Pro will feature a larger power unit than the iPhone 13 Pro, adding 200 mAh, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max will maintain a battery capacity akin to the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

I sincerely hope that the iPhone 14 Plus matches the battery size of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, even though we shouldn't take this leak at face value. That way, the phone will be less expensive while maintaining the colossal longevity that first came with the new iPhone 13 range last year.

I'm going to walk you through a recent "leak" from TimesNowNews in India, but I have to tell you that there are a lot of red flags that make me doubt the veracity of this.

The listing, which has no other source but applepriceleak (and it's unclear from which forum that user name originates), touches on many of the topics we're anticipating, making it a great place to start.

You'll first notice that the iPhone 14 Plus is stated there before the iPhone 14 Max. At the moment, there's a strong rumour that Apple will separate the nomenclature to prevent confusion between this larger phone and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

But that's not the issue I'm uncertain about.

Okay, let's get started. What feature of the new iPhone 14 is most appealing to you?

Do you find the battery life to be annoying? The high sides are excessively sharp. Do you want larger screens or fewer notches? We've been following rumours about this muthaflippin' phone for the last 15 goddamn months, so we have a pretty decent idea of what's coming.

But like I indicated in the introduction, you are the focus of this. If you have any questions, tweet them to me and I'll immediately respond based on TechRadar's analysis.
