Apple has come up with four new iPhone 14 models, or you may consider them two models, each available in 2 sizes. There is no mini variant like the previous iPhone 12 and 13 models. The basic model has a similar screen size of 6.1 inches, and there is a novel addition, iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone 14 Plus has a 6.7 inches screen; it is nearly iPhone 14 but bigger.

Many rumors have also spread about the Pro series of the new iPhone 14 model that has proved true.
