Everyone who is going to be setting their alarms to be the first to pre-order one of the new iPhones in 2022 has an important choice to make: getting the lower-end iPhone 14 or iPhone 14 Plus, or getting the higher-end iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Compared: iPhone 14 Pro models vs. iPhone 13 Pro models
Apple’s brand-new iPhone lineup for 2022 certainly makes last year’s iPhone lineup look less enticing, but if you’re wondering what the core differences are between the flagship iPhone 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max and last year’s iPhone 13 Pro & 13 Pro Max, then you’ve come to the right place.
iPhone 14 Pro & 14 Pro Max tech specs
Apple on Wednesday announced an all-new iPhone lineup with the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max at the higher end of the spectrum. These handsets hail a ton of new technology, some of which aligns with the rumors we’ve been hearing over the past couple of years.
The ‘iPhone 14 Max’ might actually be called the iPhone 14 Plus
Apple is going to host a "Far Out" event on September 7, 2022. It's there that the company will undoubtedly unveil its brand new iPhone lineup, which is expected to include four new models. However, unlike the years prior, there won't be a "mini" model included in the lineup. Instead, it will be a range of big and bigger phones.
Baseline iPhone 14 predicted to start at $749, iPhone 14 Pro Max at $1,149
Apple may raise iPhone 14 prices this year, with the baseline iPhone 14 expected to start at $749, or $50 less than the 128GB iPhone 13 which starts at $799.
iPhone 14 Pro dummy units show off rumored new blue and purple color options
While Apple typically retains a few color options for the iPhone lineup year to year, the company has also made it a point to shake things up with at least one color variant at the same time. The company will typically replace the previous year's new color entry with another new color variant. And we'll probably see that happen again this year, too.
