To recall, the iPhone 14 comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display and it comes in five colourways: midnight, blue, starlight, purple and red colour options.

In terms of imaging, there's a 12MP primary lens with a larger sensor and larger pixels, and for selfies, there's a 12MP front TrueDepth camera with an f/1.9 aperture.


Meanwhile, China's zero Covid restrictions are set to cost Apple iPhone production dearly. Production of iPhone 14, the cheapest among the iPhone 14 lineup, will fall 16 million units short of expectations this year in the wake of the coronavirus restrictions in China and weak demand for the entry-level iPhone models, recent reports have suggested.


According to a report by news agency Bloomberg, UBS analysts have slashed their forecast of total iPhone 14 production to 76 million, down from 92 million units for the second half (H2) of 2022, which is a 20 per cent decline from last year. The analysts have attributed the lower expectations to both the manufacturing disruption faced by iPhone's contract manufacturer Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., and weakening demand for lower-end iPhone 14 models.
