If you’ve been following the rumor channel of the iPhone 14, you know there might be a new model in town: the iPhone 14 Max. And thanks to a new leak we have more evidence that the phone exists, and responds to how it fits into the line of Apple’s iPhone 14.
Most agree that Apple’s current line of iPhones, represented by the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max, will see some change in the iPhone 14 series, which we hope Apple will unveil at some point. September.
On the cutting edge (opens in a new tab) could be the iPhone 13 mini, which, especially with the new iPhone SE, might seem a little less attractive than at launch. Sure, the iPhone SE still has an old-school Touch ID button and a small 4.7-inch screen, but at $ 429 / £ 419 / $ 719 AU, it’s $ 170 cheaper than the mini and could be the true champion for budget-conscious buyers. .
However, for those looking for a wonderful 6.7-inch big screen, the only option is the $ 1399 / £ 1,049 / $ 1,849 AU iPhone 13 Pro Max.
This is where the iPhone 14 Max comes in. The rumored phone matches the Pro Max in screen size, but reduces the lenses by one (and probably loses LiDAR) to make it a potentially much more affordable big screen device.
Thanks to Sonny Dickson (opens in a new tab), a filter with a long history of Apple’s first solids, we have what could be a real look at the entire line of the iPhone 14, thanks to a supposed mannequins.

The dummies are not working devices, but completed chassis, possibly illegally extracted from the iPhone manufacturing plant in Shanghai, which can be sent, for example, to carcass manufacturers who may be preparing for the next big iPhone launch.
Dickson has at least two sets (different colors) of four mannequins that look like an iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max and something new, a phone that looks exactly like the iPhone 14 (based on the array of cameras) but is the same size as the iPhone 14 Pro Max. This could be the iPhone 14 Max.
In photos and videos, Dickson shows all these mannequins but offers zero context. We only know that he thinks they’re dummies on the iPhone 14 because he says so in his tweet and support post, which is also just photos and a YouTube video with no comments.
If these dummies are accurate, they show a design of the iPhone 14 that fits very well with the look and feel of the iPhone 13. The arrays of cameras can be a little bigger and there is an interesting indentation on the button Siri on / off. Other than that, we haven’t been able to spot any noticeable differences between these dummies and the iPhones we’re currently using.
Don’t get carried away
Just because these mannequins exist and Dickson claims they are iPhone 14 models, there is no guarantee that any of them will represent what Apple can offer later this year. They may be samples of rejected designs or built by someone other than Apple.
We want them to be iPhone 14 devices because we’re all desperate to get information about the next iPhone, and we want this newcomer to be the iPhone 14 Max because, to be honest here, it’s a great idea – a truly great one. -Screen iPhone that offers most of what you want on an iPhone but at a price you can afford. But is it?
Anything Apple does with the next iPhone will be largely driven by its operating system. Apple is about to introduce iOS 16 at the upcoming WWDC. Here’s everything we know.
