iPhone 14 – prices, models and colours
Just like the iPhone 13, the iPhone 14 will be released in the autumn – launch for the iPhone 14 as well as the Pro models is on 16 September 2022, the iPhone 14 Plus comes on 7 October, pre-ordering starts on 9 September at 2pm.

- New features common to all iPhone 14 models are an eSIM instead of a SIM card slot and an accident detection function – the Apple Watch Series 8 presented is also equipped with accident detection. In addition, the new Pro models rely on a Dynamic Island instead of a notch and always-on displays.
- The accident detection is even supposed to be coupled with satellite emergency call in order to be able to call for help in areas with poor reception. This feature will initially only be available in the US and Canada and will be free for the first two years. After that, there will probably be a subscription model.
