Rumours suggest that Apple will launch the new iPhone 14 series, Apple Watch Series 8, and Apple AirPods Pro 2 on September 13.
Apple is expected to reveal the iPhone 14 lineup in September and this year, the company may make significant changes to smartphones. For instance, the Pro models of the iPhone 14 lineup are said to come with a pill and hole notch. Further, there could be some strategic changes to the lineup including the removal of ‘Mini’ and the addition of a ‘Max’ model. Most recently, a new report suggests that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will come with faster RAM.
Unlike the Apple iPhone 13 series, all models in the iPhone 14 series are said to feature 6GB of RAM. But only the Pro models in the Apple iPhone 14 lineup are expected to be powered by a new ‘A16’ chip. Known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the company will retain the A15 Bionic chip for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max.
Rumours suggest that Apple will launch the new Apple iPhone 14 series, Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE 2nd gen, Apple Watch Series 8 ‘Pro’, Apple AirPods Pro 2 and other gadgets at a special event on September 13. Reports also suggest that the tech giant will start shipping the Apple iPhone 14 series from September 23, 10 days after the launch. We can not independently verify the claim. However, the information may be true as Apple usually launched its flagship smartphone series on the second Tuesday of September.
iPhone 14 Pro models to come with faster RAM
According to a report by DigiTimes, the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature 6GB of LPDDR5 RAM, which is a significant upgrade over the LPDDR4X RAM on the current iPhone models. For the uninitiated, LPDDR stands for Low-Power Double Data Rate, which refers to the type of RAM used in modern-day smartphones and computers. To compare, the LPDDR5 RAM is more capable and power efficient that the LPDDR4X RAM.
Some of the latest smartphones such as the Nothing Phone (1) feature LPDDR5 RAM. However, only the Pro models are said to receive the faster RAM as Apple is focussing on differentiating between the iPhones. As per recent reports, the Cupertino-based company won’t equip the non-Pro models of the iPhone 14 lineup with the latest A16 Bionic chip – it will only power the Pro models.
