An iPhone 14 Plus Model Could Be In The Offing

However, a tweet from tipster Tommy Boi raises serious questions over the authenticity of the iPhone 14 Max’s rumors. According to the Twitter user, the iPhone 14 Max will not see the light of the day. Instead. the Cupertino-based tech giant will launch an iPhone 14 Plus model. Moreover, Tommy Boi discovered Apple’s clear case with ā€œiPhone 14 Plus Clear Case with Magsafeā€ written on it.

Also, the leaker has spotted the moniker on an online retailer website that is selling the case for the Plus model. However, there’s still a lack of evidence to confirm the image of the case reveals the official case from Apple. Meanwhile, an iPhone 14 Pro Max knockoff featuring the exclamation mark notch was spotted online last month. Nevertheless, some past leaks have teased the existence of a Plus model.

According to a 9to5Mac report, the purported iPhone will carry the iPhone 14 Plus moniker. In other words, Apple will ditch the Max model.

So, this is a major sign that the next iPhone will not arrive with the Max label. It is safe to say that Apple could launch four models at its Far Out event. These include the iPhone 14, 14 Plus, 14 Pro, and the 14 Pro Max. Last month, a report indicated that the company has increased the iPhone 14 Pro Max display production. DSCCā€™s analyst Ross Young predicts that there will be a high demand for Apple’s biggest premium device.
