Apple iPhone 14 Series – Price Rs. 74,990, Launch Date – September 2022

Apple launched four new phones in the iPhone 13 series, including iPhone 13 Mini, 13, 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Based on the early reports, Apple cannot sell a good volume of iPhone 13 Mini or even the iPhone 12 Mini and may drop this model for the iPhone 14 series.

iPhone-13

The iPhone 14 series will have iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The screen size of the iPhone 14 series may remain the same(like iPhone 12 and iPhone 13) as previous models; however, we can expect that a few improvements may also come in a display like a high refresh rate.

Apple this year has not offered a 120 Hz refresh rate to iPhone 13 but offers it only in the pro models that the company may bring to the base iPhone 14 variant next year.

Also, the notch display has been there for many years. The company may shift to a new design with an under-display camera for the iPhone 14.

Apple A15 Bionic is the most powerful processor on the market, and next year the company will have the A16 with more performance improvements. The A15 is based on the 5 Nm manufacturing process, and the A16 may be the first chip to use the 3 Nm manufacturing process. This can boost performance as well as battery life for the new iPhones.

Like iPhone 12 and 13 series, the upcoming iPhone series also comes with 5G connectivity and compatibility with MagSafe accessories.

We will have to wait and see if Apple goes with minor incremental changes similar to what they have done with the iPhone 13 series or take a big leap with the iPhone 14.

Google Pixel Foldable Smartphone – Price Rs. 120,990, Launch Date – July

Google is working on a foldable smartphone that will look similar to the Oppo Find N (Foldable).

The Folding Google phone was spotted on the Geekbench test and is codenamed “Pipit.” The benchmark performance suggests that it is using Google’s homemade Tensor processor. Besides, the Android 12L beta indicates support for a new phone with a foldable display, and there was an animation of the sim-ejector shared in the documents, reported by 9to5mac.
