The theory also confirms earlier claims that only the Pro variants would be equipped with the new A16 Bionic chip and faster LPDDR5 RAM, and the more expensive models will also have a higher resolution 48MP main camera. The iPhone 14 Pro Max may be a very heavy phone. The information supports a previous rumour that the iPhone 14 would have a 3,279mAh battery, the iPhone 14 Plus/Max would have a 4,325mAh cell, the iPhone 14 Pro would have a 3,200mAh battery, and the highest-end model would have a 4,323mAh cell.

A specs sheet for the iPhone 14 series has recently appeared on the Chinese social networking site Weibo. It originates from an unreliable source and was flagged by tipster Tommy Boi, so it’s better to treat it with caution. The picture seems to support claims that the non-Pro, 6.7-inch variant will be known as the iPhone 14 Plus and not the iPhone 14 Max, as most early rumours had suggested. A 6.1-inch basic model, a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, and a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max will be released alongside it.
There is also some new intel on the weight of the range. Apparently, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will weigh 255 grams, which would make it heavier than the 240 grams iPhone 13 Pro Max, which is already one of the heaviest flagship phones around. Similarly, the Pro is said to go from 204 grams to 215 grams. The standard model will more or less continue to weigh 173 grams, whereas the iPhone 14 Plus is expected to have a weight of 245 grams.
Latest rumor changes the iPhone 14 price narrative…again Today’s rumor also indicates that the new phones will be pricier than the outgoing generation. It claims that the base iPhone 14 will cost 6,699 yuan ($971), the iPhone 14 Plus will retail for 7,399 yuan, the iPhone 14 Pro will require you to shell out at least 9,899 yuan, and the Pro Max will go for 10,899 yuan.
Since both 6.7-inch models are rumored to have roughly the same battery capacity, we will wager that the Pro Max’s new and bigger camera sensors and bigger camera bulge are amongst the things that have contributed to the weight increase. For reference, Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra weighs 228 grams, and the company’s foldable phone which has two screens comes in at 263 grams, so assuming today’s leak is legit, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be one heavy phone and this could prevent it from becoming the best phone of the year.
