Company view has unveiled the latest iPhone lineup announced at an international conference earlier this month: the entry-level iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Pro, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 Plus is set to arrive on October 7.

These devices run on the A16 Bionic chip, and the Pro models showcase a bold design refresh for their notch. The lineup introduces always-on display functionality and, for the first time, a 48MP main camera with a Quad Pixel sensor that enhances image detail and low-light performance.

Highlights

During the presentation, Apple emphasized that these new models are premium smartphones with improvements to camera capabilities and battery life, aimed at delivering top-tier imaging and all-day performance.

The year’s design philosophy leans toward larger screens, with the Pro and Pro Max models featuring a redesigned notch and a feature set that Apple brands as Island Display. In addition to display enhancements, the updates concentrate on battery efficiency and camera upgrades, all leveraging the power of the new A16 Bionic chip.

The front-facing design of the Pro models is almost entirely new, with the notch occupying 30% less space. Apple introduces Dynamic Island as a new user experience for alerts and ongoing background activity.

Dynamic Island maintains an active state that allows users quick access to controls simply by holding it down. Ongoing and background activities remain visible and interactive, and third-party apps on iOS 16 can also leverage Dynamic Island features for richer interactivity.

Additionally, the front camera has been redesigned to take up even less space on the screen, contributing to a more immersive display experience.

Prices and financing

In official channels, the iPhone 14 Pro is available with a 24-month installment plan around $55 per month or $1,319 without renewal, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max is about $61 per month for 24 months or $1,469 without renewal. In local stores, these prices reflect regional financing options and taxes where applicable.

For the iPhone 14, pricing is typically around the lower end of the Pro range when financing is chosen, with monthly installments and non-renewal pricing varying by market. The iPhone 14 Plus remains positioned as a larger-screen option, with pricing aligned to the standard financing structure for the model and storage tier selected.
