(Characterize credit score: Future / Apple)It barely feels care for we’ve come off WWDC when straight, it’s miles time for the (highly likely) iPhone 14 launch at the Apple ‘A long way Out’ Match, taking place at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM BST on September 7 (or 3AM AEST on Thursday, September 8), live from the Steve Jobs Theater, at Apple Park in Cupertino.
And the rumors concerning the iPhone 14 were coming thick and rapid – the 14 is hugely at trouble of be joined by the iPhone 14 Plus, the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
And oh, no! The fun doesn’t cease there on the subject of the ever-turning rumor mill: there will furthermore it appears to be be an Apple Peek 8 to substitute the Series 7, a Peek SE 2 to occupy the command of the years-mature Peek SE… and an Apple Peek Pro, to stay it to Samsung’s Galaxy Peek 5 Pro and the top class Garmin smartwatches.
Think that’s sufficient? Neatly, the flood of reported merchandise coming hasn’t performed: how does a dessert direction of the fresh AirPods Pro 2 sound?
With a tiny bit of luck that’s all that Apple launches – we’re going to be live and feverishly tapping away in-individual at Apple’s devoted attach space in only about a hours, so follow us as we live blog all the produce up and the complete lot that happens for the duration of the match actual.
Whenever you’d rather in fact scrutinize the match, head on over to our devoted Apple Match page, the assign we’ll agree with the feed embedded for your viewing pleasure.

(Characterize credit score: TechRadar)Rapidly charging remains a level of contention in iPhone land, with Apple (alongside with rivals care for Samsung and Google) seemingly lagging behind the curve on the subject of outright rapid charging speeds.
Whereas firms care for Xiaomi, OnePlus and Realme throw out phones with wired rapid charging that surpasses 150W, goal checks on closing three hundred and sixty five days’s lineup by ChargerLab (opens in fresh tab) revealed that the iPhone 13 Pro topped out at a measly 23W, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max managed an incrementally snappier 27W, when examined with a appropriate 30W vitality adapter.
Indicators counsel that the iPhone 14 line may maybe presumably in fact phrase by on lawful 30W charging this three hundred and sixty five days, but even the rumors are unclear on whether that figure pertains the complete fluctuate, or actual the Pro models.
2022-09-07T11: 15: 37.883Z
(Characterize credit score: TechRadar)One of the merchandise that Apple positively appears to be to be engaged on, but with imprecise liberate date expectations, is the HomePod 2.
Searching on which rumor you think, this may maybe be a smaller and more straightforward model of the customary HomePod, targeting mammoth sound but for a less steep attach, with a diagram to fit with the HomePod mini; or it’d be an even bigger gadget aimed towards home theater sound combining with the Apple TV 4K, care for a soundbar alternative; or it will maybe presumably want a display cloak and will rival the Amazon Echo Existing fluctuate.
Or presumably all three are coming. It appears to be all somewhat up in the air upright now! In spite of the complete lot, we don’t think you may maybe look them at at the present time’s match – for a originate, it already appears to be to be full of merchandise. We feature out think one thing audio is coming at the present time, and a brand fresh HomePod has been tipped for launch before too long, so it’s positively imaginable that it’d be at the present time… but don’t be bowled over if simplest AirPods Pro 2 seem.
It’s likely that Apple will care for a second match in October, and it now and again launches merchandise with actual a press liberate (even the AirPods Max bought this therapy), so there’s deal of scope for a HomePod to quiet advance in 2022 even when no longer at this match.

(Characterize credit score: Apple)A key tidbit from our AirPods skilled, Matt Bolton: we’ve mentioned already that we think AirPods Pro 2 are inclined to seem tonight, but deal of of us would furthermore be in AirPods Max 2. Apple’s over-ear headphones are excessive-priced, but of us that’ve tried them (together with us) think they’re successfully value the money – but they’re two years mature now, and the world of headphones strikes rapid, and there are deal of AirPods Max 2 concepts we may maybe presumably care for to seem Apple add.
Sorry to disappoint, but we think it’s very unlikely that they’ll seem tonight. The straightforward important motive is that there’s been a total dearth of leaks. Apple is rarely the least bit times in fact the super-tight ship it changed into once, and fresh merchandise consistently gain their potential into the hands of on-line leakers. Nevertheless there’s been nothing about AirPods Max 2. Nothing. The closing in fact necessary leak changed into in 2021, and the news changed into “There is now not any news”.
Apple has filed a patent since then that trace at contact controls to presumably substitute the Digital Crown (opens in fresh tab), but patents continuously come to nothing.
There’s been a three-three hundred and sixty five days gap between the October 2019 launch of AirPods Pro and the anticipated launch of AirPods Pro 2 at the present time – so with the customary AirPods Max having appeared in the 2020, presumably a 2023 launch is most likely for the subsequent model. Wherein case, we’re in for a three hundred and sixty five days of leaks between now and then, so there’s that to seem forward to…

(Characterize credit score: Huawei)Gareth is getting some successfully-deserved shut-search for sooner than the important match later at the present time, so in the intervening time your Senior Telephones Editor, Alex Walker-Todd (you may maybe presumably presumably furthermore call me Toddy), is here to occupy the reins from the other facet of the Atlantic to handbook you by all of the freshest Apple-centric finds in the closing moments before Tim Cook and company step out on stage.
As this live blog is now a global effort, lets contact support on the iPhone 14’s capability satellite connectivity. Whereas Bullitt may maybe presumably be in a sturdy command, it’s Huawei, of all firms, who has swooped in at the eleventh hour to showcase its fresh Mate 50 fluctuate (opens in fresh tab) with, you guessed it, satellite connectivity.
The Huawei Mate 50 and the Mate 50 Pro will it appears to be be in a region to ship textual enlighten messages without mobile signal by turning to China’s BeiDou satellite community as another.
Ravishing cold stuff and a feather in Huawei’s cap despite the challenges the firm has confronted over the outdated couple of years in the mobile space.
Now I am left wondering what the iPhone-equivalent model of this may maybe be. iMessage over GPS? FaceTime over GLONASS? This constructing actual raises extra questions than it solutions.

(Characterize credit score: Apple)We have already mentioned some of the rumored fresh concepts of AirPods Pro 2 here, but the giant ask has been over how likely they are to seem at this match. It may maybe presumably be a giant damage with custom for Apple to picture an upgraded AirPods model at the September match, and we point to why here – but the gist is: each and every fresh AirPods launch has came about in October or later, since they’re the kind of gargantuan Christmas hit. So when the first reports of a September launch began swirling, we thought they were madness.
Neatly, it’s looking out strongly care for we were execrable. Other than standard Apple leaks fountain Price Gurman asserting outright that they’ll come (opens in fresh tab), we’ve furthermore now agree with information that makes us all-but-particular that one thing audio-linked is coming at the September 7 match, and the AirPods Pro 2 seem most likely.
It’s imaginable that it should be the HomePod 2 that’s long been tipped, and even the subsequent Apple TV 4K that’s furthermore said to be in constructing – but there were fairly few leaks about each and every of these, so we suspect they’re a tiny further off.
2022-09-07T06: 42: 26.407Z
(Characterize credit score: Inmarsat)One of the giant parts that we think Apple goes to manufacture a giant deal about at the present time is the satellite connectivity of the iPhone 14 Pro fluctuate, the use of a brand fresh Qualcomm modem to characteristic outdoors of community signal.
A UK company, Bullitt, is claiming to agree with stolen a march on the tech – and will raise out it better, ensuing from extra ubiquitous protection.
Whenever you are wondering what satellite connectivity will bring – successfully, call to mind it as 5G on steroids, accessible wherever in the world. Nonetheless, it should simplest raise tiny amounts of signal and it’s somewhat pricey to care for out, so don’t think that this may maybe substitute mobile towers.
Whenever you’d care for to opt up a higher flavor of what satellite connections would bring to a smartphone, then investigate cross-check the BBC’s rundown.

(Characterize credit score: TechRadar)I am in fact hoping that the Apple Peek Pro is a gadget that gets of us going in the fitness world to a stage that Apple has never managed: there’s such scope there and we’ve got to seem extra of it realized.
So one among our fearless writers has been researching the key components that are serving to Garmin disclose at the moment in the top class smartphone market and come up with three correct suggestions on what we’ve got to seem from Apple at the present time (opens in fresh tab) concerning its highly efficient fresh wearable.
I am most in favor of the route planner – if Apple can produce one thing care for Strava and Garmin (and you may maybe presumably presumably furthermore just wish to agree with the Top price tier for the former), the assign you may maybe presumably presumably furthermore produce a route in accordance with fashionable tracks, this may maybe in fact be an announcement of intent from the brand.

(Characterize credit score: TechRadar) in checking out about what the iPhone 14 colors are going to be? Neatly, we’ve been snooping round and made up our minds that these are the most likely hues, with red being the giant star in 2022.
Rather bit of digital imagery later, and we’ve bought some galleries that can maybe attach you what the phones will be care for in a unfold of color, which we’ve bought safely stowed away in our iPhone 14 colors roundup.
Nevertheless here’s a sneak hit upon on what the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro would look care for in red:

(Characterize credit score: MacRumors)We have no longer in fact talked mighty about the AirPods Pro 2 but, agree with we? Their presence is somewhat likely at this match, with extra than one sources confirming that they’re coming – even when it’d be a pretty unfamiliar flip of events to seem them landing outdoors of October.
There’s one rumor about the fresh AirPods Pro that’s bought me despite the proven truth that: while we quiz them to agree with better noise cancelling, support for Lossless Audio yada yada yada, they may maybe presumably furthermore transform listening to wait on imaginable decisions for these with aural points.
The image above, leaked by MacRumors support in 2021, reveals two things: audio system in the bottom of the case and a tiny lanyard clip.
Now, the audio system may maybe presumably (and should) be for the Web My feature; the assign the case will emit a louder sound so that you just may maybe presumably presumably gain them. Nevertheless the lanyard clip is unfamiliar… unless these holes are furthermore microphones and the case can prefer up sound to relay to the ears, allowing these gripping of listening to so as to work together better with their atmosphere.
Wherein case, without discover wearing them round the neck makes plenty of sense…
I am no longer particular about this leak, as nothing has in fact come forward to corroborate it besides some extra renders landing on-line, but this may maybe agree with precise vitality for Apple if it comes off.

(Characterize credit score: TechRadar / Apple)Take into accout how Apple eliminated the charging brick from the field with a brand fresh iPhone a couple of years ago?
Neatly, it has been fined in Brazil over $2m for no longer promoting iPhones with a vitality brick, in accordance to Reuters (opens in fresh tab).
The ruling states that Apple can now no longer promote any phone that doesn’t ship with a charging brick, which began with the iPhone 12.
Now, Apple’s defence here has been that most of us already agree with a charging brick at home, that there are thousands and thousands out there and making extra will damage the atmosphere.
“At Apple, we occupy into consideration our affect on of us and the planet in the complete lot we feature out. Energy adapters accounted for our biggest use of zinc and plastic, and taking them out of the field helped minimize extra than 2 million metric hundreds carbon emissions – the equivalent of taking 500,000 cars off the facet highway a three hundred and sixty five days,” Apple reportedly informed TechTudo (translated).
“There are billions of USB-A vitality adapters already in use round the world that our potentialities can use to cost and connect their devices. Now we agree with already obtained a lot of courtroom rulings in Brazil on this matter and we are assured that our potentialities are attentive to the diversified alternatives for charging and connecting their devices. We can continue to work with Senacon to resolve their considerations and we thought to appeal this option.”
Fabricate you settle with Apple’s switch to occupy chargers out of the field? Ought to quiet or no longer it’s the option of the consumer to agree with one in at no extra cost, seeing as the phones quiet cost the same without them?
Importantly: will it attach you off shopping for a brand fresh iPhone? Guarantee to Tweet me @superbeav with any correspondence.

Where beforehand phones agree with had the same chips on launch day, things will be diversified this three hundred and sixty five days, it appears to be. (Characterize credit score: Apple)Whereas we’re on one thing of a roll, let’s focus on a leak that’s appeared in the outdated couple of hours – but you may maybe want a tiny bit of background first:
One of the important differences on the subject of the iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro is anticipated to be the engine inside of. Sturdy rumor has it that Apple, for the first time, may maybe presumably furthermore just no longer attach the fresh chip it’s developed into all the fresh phones.
That’s upright, in accordance to leaks, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus may maybe presumably furthermore just no longer be getting the fresh A16 chipset, but will as another opt up closing three hundred and sixty five days’s A15.
Will that matter in precise terms? Possibly no longer, but of us care for to feel they’re getting the latest, latest thing, on the subject of shopping for the latest iPhone.
Neatly, the rumor from the Wall Avenue Journal (opens in fresh tab) suggests that the iPhone 14 will opt up an ‘enhanced’ A15 chip… which I factor in will allow Apple to call it the A16, and the extra highly efficient A16 chipset in the iPhone 14 Pro will opt up one thing with a diversified name… presumably the A16 Pro, Extremely or X.
Either potential, it appears to be nailed-on that Apple will launch the iPhone 14 with a lower-vitality engine, but one which’s bought enhanced graphical powers over closing three hundred and sixty five days’s model.

(Characterize credit score: 91 Mobiles)Shall we switch onto the Apple Peek Pro, the gadget I am personally most to seem? Set up to return in either 47mm or 49mm sizes (which would manufacture it rather super on the wrist, but would allow for a 1.99-scamper display cloak) you may maybe presumably presumably furthermore look in the renders from 91 Mobiles (opens in fresh tab) (and there are extra by the link that it’s bought an extra bump on the facet too.
And, for the eagle-eyed of you who clicked by, there’s another button on the other facet too. Let’s no longer opt up sooner than ourselves, as these are renders in accordance with ‘alternate sources’ so it should be nothing extra than whispers.
Nevertheless the bigger gadget with the more straightforward-to-press buttons does dovetail with the running watches that I am repeatedly attempting out – that you just may maybe no longer gave flush keys whenever you happen to are making an strive to cease the clock the second you think you may maybe presumably presumably want bought a 5K PB.
2022-09-07T00: 17: 31.635Z
(Characterize credit score: MacRumors / Anonymous)Let’s originate with one among my favorite leaks: the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, and the truth they may maybe presumably furthermore just no longer be coming with the notch, but as another two minimize outs, one in the shape of a tiny tablet and the other in the shape of a punch gap for the entrance camera.
I changed into a tiny bit dismayed at the asymmetry of this when I first saw renders, but fresh ‘insider developer information’ from the MacRumors forums has pointed us to this above image from Anonymous A.S., who claims that gadget will be a part of the two holes together, with the space in between it appears to be used as notifications lights to allow you to attain when the mic is in use, for instance.
(Characterize credit score: MacRumors / Anonymous A.S.)The same leaker furthermore instructed that this smaller cutout would look a return of the ‘customary’ battery proportion… we can but dream, eh? Rather than actual guessing how mighty is left, in accordance with a tiny image.
It’s value stating these are very mighty renders in accordance with a high level opinion, but they’re some of the better ones we’ve seen.

This changed into taken by my stunning hand at the iPhone 7 launch, roughly 1,000 years ago or so (Characterize credit score: Future)Neatly, we are in a position to be starting early with this live blog, but there’s a sense that this goes to be one among the bigger Apple launches, each and every in the case of fanfare and the amount of things we’re going to be seeing.
I will be with you the complete potential – we’ve been live-blogging the high rumors which agree with emerged this week, so whenever you bookmark this page you are going to opt up all manner of perception, diagnosis and the latest leaks as the match attracts come.
We’ll originate off with some topline information on each and every of the fresh merchandise that we’re watching for, produce up with all the latest leaks as they happen (and, all of us know, they will… despite the proven truth that we doubt Apple will by chance Tweet out the phone, because it did with the iPhone 7) and clearly… allow you to attain when Tim Cook wakes up.
