We are just 10 minutes away from Apple's Far Out event where the company is expected to announce four iPhone 14 models and a bunch of other products including Watch Series 8 and AirPods Pro 2.
Apart from the new iPhone 14 series that would be unveiled today, we expect to learn about the release dates of iOS 16 and watchOS 9 sometime in the week.
According to some reports, the prices of the iPhone 14 Pro models are likely to increase by $100. This means the base variant of the iPhone 14 Pro could cost $1,099.
Apple CEO Tim Cook greeted Twitteratti ahead of the launch of the iPhone 14 series. The image he posted had a rainbow and rumours say that the picture might be taken from a 48MP camera of the iPhone 14 Pro model.
It is being said that the Apple Watch Series 8 may not bring significant upgrades like what the Watch Series 7 brought last year. The iPhone maker may bring a new body temperature sensor with the Watch Series 8 without bringing other big upgrades.
Apple Store on Wednesday evening (IST) was down ahead of iPhone 14 lineup launch at Apple's Far out event. A message on the Apple Store read: "Be right back." “We are making updates to the Apple Store. Check back soon."
Meanwhile, the Apple iPhone 14 Pro models are likely to come with 48MP cameras as well as likely satellite connectivity. They may be powered by the new A16 Bionic chipset.
The standard iPhone 14 may not come with a significant change over last year's iPhone 13. However, Apple is likely to drop the mini model and bring a bigger 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max or iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone 14 might come with a 90Hz refresh rate panel this time.
A leakster has revealed the photo of the spec sheet of the upcoming iPhone models ahead of Apple iPhone 14 launch. According to the leak, Apple could bring four new iPhone models this year including iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Earlier rumours suggested that Apple is doing away with the iPhone mini this year which seems to be correct as of now. However, the leak should be taken with a pinch of salt and stay tuned with ABP Live as we will be hosting a live blog on the launch of the iPhone 14 series and a bunch of other product announcements by Apple during the Far Out event.
Based on the leak, the starting price of the iPhone 14 would be Rs 77,000 while the starting price of the iPhone 14 Plus would be Rs Rs 85,000. The iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max could have a starting price of Rs Rs 1,14,000 and Rs Rs 1,25,500, respectively.
Meanwhile, Brazil has fined Apple and halted sales of iPhones without chargers. According to the Brazilian government, Apple selling iPhones without chargers only burdens the consumers. Apple is also facing a BRL$12,275,500 fine (roughly $2.3 million) from Brazil's Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP), says a report by Ars Technica.
The tech giant can appeal Brazil's decision.
For years, China has had supremacy when it comes to manufacturing new iPhone models, but the pattern is set to change as Foxconn Technology Group, Apple's contract manufacturer and a primary manufacturer of iPhones would begin assembling the iPhone 14 device at a facility near the southern state of Chennai "almost simultaneously" with China this year. The locally assembled iPhone 14 models would give a big boost to Apple's Make In India plans and serve a big portion of the country's iPhone buying population, market analysts said on Tuesday.

Background
iPhone 14 Launch Live: It's that time of the year again. The latest iterations of Apple's flagship products — the iPhone and iPad — are set to break cover at the Cupertino tech giant's 'Far Out' event, set to kick off at 10:30pm IST tonight. Alongside the iPhone 14 series and the iPad (2022) lineup, Apple is also expected to launch two variants of the Apple Watch Series 8 (which the rumour mill suggests includes a Pro variant) as well as the AirPods Pro 2. The 'Far Out' event will be held at Apple's Cupertino, California, headquarters.
This live blog will feature all the updates from Apple's 'Far Out' event. Ardent fans can watch the event live on Apple's official website, official YouTube channel, or social media channels.
Apple is rumoured to debut a 6.7-inch phone at the event, according to reports. The iPhone 14 is expected to have a bigger screen size and might be available at a cheaper price than iPhone 13. Apple may not launch a mini-sized iPhone in the iPhone 14 series, some rumours suggest.
We expect to see four new iPhone 14 models — iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Max, and the top-of-the-line iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 Pro model is expected to be slightly slimmer compared to its counterpart in the current series. The tech giant is expected to ditch the notch around the front-facing camera system in the new iPhone models and introduce a hole-punch display for the first time in the franchise. Apple users may get a camera quality upgrade with the iPhone 14. One could be able to shoot videos in 8K using the iPhone 14.
Apart from iPhone 14, Apple fans can also expect the next generation of iPad at the ‘Far Out’ event. Apple doesn’t officially number its iPad models, so it’s safe to call it iPad (2022) for now. The 10th-generation iPad lineup could feature a base iPod model, as well as an M2-powered iPad Pro variant.
Stay tuned to our live blog for all updates and developments from Apple's 'Far Out' event.
