While Apple has tried to keep details hidden, a leak from a Chinese social media website may point to the full specs of the iPhones. Keep in mind that that the details shared in the leak should be taken with a grain of salt, as these might not be the official specs of the incoming iPhones. 

Here are the specs.

iPhone Pro Max

The leaked image of the tech specs show that the most advanced iPhone 14 model will come with three storage variants, 1TB, 512GB and 256GB. It will allegedly have a 6.7 inch screen with a 2778×1244 resolution with 458ppi pixel density and 1200 nits of brightness. The leak shows that the most advanced iPhone 14 model, along with the other lower-end ones will come with Apple’s next-gen A16 chipset  and 6GB of DDR5 RAM. The company’s latest chipset was designed internally instead of being made by Intel. It also may have a sturdy 4323mAh battery, a 48MP camera which will record in 8K resolution, up from last year’s 13 MP camera and 4k resolution. It will supposedly weigh 255 grams. 

How much a consumer will have to fork over to get their hands on one of these will depend on how much storage they’re looking for. The lowest storage 256GB option might cost around $1,600, while the 512GB option may be $1,800 and the largest 1TB option may be $2,000.
