Apple is working on iPhone 14 version “2.0”.  Why?

All the apple smartphone lovers are sure to change their legs impatiently when thinking of the new iPhones. Certainly, a similar mood prevails in Apple’s offices, although the “14” series models currently on the market don’t plan to be retired soon. On the contrary – the manufacturer is preparing a “rejuvenating treatment” for two of them.

Fifteen around the corner

Indeed, we are approaching fall. We may be weeks away from wearing sweaters on cooler evenings. Meanwhile, the market for mobile devices is starting to increase. In October there will be the premiere of Pixel 8 series smartphones. At any moment we will learn about the news from Xiaomi, and in the middle of it Apple will enter with its plans for September, including the premiere of the iPhone 15 series.

New mobile A17 Bionic chips in Pro versions and titanium frames, the extension of Dynamic Island to cheaper variants or the appearance of the periscope lens in the iPhone 15 Pro Max and higher prices – all this awaits official confirmation at an event scheduled for September 12 or 13. The new line is also the opening of the chapter New to the company called “Smartphones with a USB-C socket”.

iPhone 14 with a new socket?

We’ve known for a long time that the days of the Lightning connector on iPhones are numbered. The company does not plan to wait until the last second to make changes, and the revolution will happen this year, just on the occasion of the premiere of smartphones with the name “15”. What about the generation that is still on the market today? It will be removed from view in December 2024, as it will not meet EU directives on adapting devices to the USB-C standard. But that doesn’t have to be the case.

Aaron on Twitter/X pointed out that tvOS 17.0 Beta 5 Indicates Up to six iPhone models are not commercially available. While in four cases, of course, it concerns the next generation of equipment, the other two concern smartphones of the “14” series. How is this possible, given that we are talking about devices linked to the premieres of last year?

Explain this situation It seems Simple and logical. According to tradition, the iPhone 12, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max will be removed with the advent of the new generation of smartphones. To extend the presence of the “fourteen” in the market, Apple may decide to implement a USB-C socket in the 14 and 14 Plus models. In this way, the iPhone 14 can traditionally end its service 3 years after its debut – in 2025, and 9 months after the EU directive on mandatory USB-C sockets in smartphones came into force.

All the behind-the-scenes information makes the fall premiere period even more interesting. Fortunately, there are only a few weeks left until the Apple event and on September 12 or 13 all pre-release news and reports will turn into facts. Whenever today’s news turns out to be true, we will have an unprecedented situation. Never before has the Cupertino giant updated any of its line of devices just to add a new generation socket.
