Supply chain reports[]
Design
Leaked CAD data of a multiple «hole-punch» display reportedly from the iPhone 14 Pro
Leaked dummies from schematics for case manufacturers. «Pro» models have 3 cameras.
Industry reports indicated that Apple may be moving the Pro models of the forthcoming iPhone 14 product line from a notched screen design to a multiple «hole-punched» design (since dubbed the «exclamation point») to accommodate the front-facing cameras and various sensors in 6.1 and 6.7-inch models.
Leaks of CAD data provided to case manufacturers indicated that the base iPhone 14 model may retain the notch. The mini model is also reportedly being discontinued in favor of a larger non-Pro version.
Specifications
The ongoing global chip shortage forced Apple to limit the inclusion of the Apple A16 chip to the Pro models of the iPhone 14 line.
Production
Production trials in China reportedly began in July 2022, with mass production starting in August. Wall Street analysts projected strong sales despite weak overall consumer spending due to the general economic downturn caused by inflation. Apple’s manufacturing supply chain reportedly experienced «no impacts» from geopolitical issues.
Marketing[]
Recording of the video announcement of the iPhone 14 series and Apple Watch Series 8 had reportedly begun in August to be streamed in the on September 7. The base price was set at US$799, the same as the iPhone 13’s introductory price in the previous year. The first pre-orders began shipping on September 12 for delivery by the scheduled in-store date of September 16, 2022. On March 14, , Apple began shipping a yellow version as part of its spring product refresh.
Reception
We found Apple’s secret iPhone 14 redesign — iPhone 14 teardown
Eve Jobs, the daughter of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, posted a meme on Instagram mocking the iPhone 14’s relative lack of advancement from the previous year’s iPhone 13. Though she deleted it soon after, some industry pundits agreed with her sentiment. Strong demand for the iPhone 14 line caused the value of Apple stock to rise. This led to Apple increasing manufacturing orders with Foxconn from 90 to 95 million units for the overall product line. However, Apple’s stock valuation retreated after it was determined that demand for the entry-level iPhone 14 was in line with that of the previous year’s iPhone 13, and that production was actually shifting towards the Pro models.
The interior design of the iPhone 14 received praise from iFixit for its redesigned layout that makes less expensive and much easier to repair as the internal components can be accessed from either glass side. The iPhone 14 series’ adoption of eSIMs in the United States was found not to have completely negated the presence of a SIM card slot as it is still used in other countries and the space is occupied by a gap in U.S. models.
