In a nutshell: As anticipation grows for the new iPhone 14 lineup, a new leak may have revealed the final design ahead of Apple’s launch. The leak shows off the iPhone 14 Pro’s dual-punch design and a new shimmering purple finish that changes color tones when viewed from different angles.
While Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 14 series during its “Far Out” special event on September 7, rumors are still rife. The latest leak comes from a short hands-on video posted on Chinese social media website Weibo by Chinese tipster DuanRui, which hints at the radical iPhone 14 redesign and new colors.
The iPhone Pro 14 dummy unit might look like the final design, as it reaffirms previous leaks, such as the switch from a notched design to a punch-hole design. It also reveals a new shimmering purple color. The finish appears to change tone when viewed from different angles.
DuanRui also reposted a series of images from Weibo that gives us additional clues regarding the colors et double punch design. A render shows the iPhone 14 in purple, blue, graphite, and gold. Take these photos with a grain of salt, as some leakers have questioned their authenticity.
The dual-punch design features a circular, pill-shaped cutout on the screen, moving away from the notch of previous iPhones. The holes look slightly larger than originally expected, and iPhone owners doubt the new design. However, Apple would only use this new configuration on the Pro models, while standard iPhones retain the familiar screen cutout.
Several other leaked features and upgrades have surfaced over the past few months. Rumors suggest the Pro models will come with a 48MP main camera and an always-on display, while all iPhone 14 models might come with a new selfie camera.
Apple is hosting its “Far Out” event at Apple Park on September 7. Along with the new iPhone 14 lineup, fans can also expect the launch of the Apple Watch Series 8.
