iPhone 14 series new price leaked, 14 Pro, 14 Pro Max will be available in stores from September 16

Given Apple’s history with the pricing of its products and the hype that surrounds the upcoming iPhone 14 series, one might assume that the new iPhone 14 lineup will be substantially more expensive. However, it turns out, that may not be the case after all, at least if we consider the most recent leaks about the iPhone 14 series’ prices.

Apple iPhone 14 series to reportedly set to get a Mini variant, may be launched on September 7

In a new blog post, which cites sources who have the final iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro production devices, notable tipster and Twitter user @yeux1122 claims that prices may be in a completely different direction than what people are expecting. Shocking as this may seem at this late stage, yeux1122 has a history of going against the tide and being right.

It is expected that the new iPhone 14 series, for the most part, will be priced similarly to the iPhone 13 series. There are two basic reasons for this. First, the world is going through a recession and people don’t want to spend exorbitantly on a smartphone. Apple is wary of that and has therefore decided to cut its profit margins by a little.

Second, the iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 Max uses a lot of bits from the existing iPhone 13 series. This includes certain portions of the display panel, the chassis, the processor etc. Given that these are older pieces of hardware and aren’t exactly cutting-edge, the prices of these old phone parts tend to drop like a stone.

Pricing for last year’s iPhone 13 started at $799, and the iPhone 14 will use the same chassis, rear cameras, display and chipset. Keeping this in mind, it is not unreasonable for Apple to price the iPhone 14 between $699-$749. 

Similarly, the iPhone 14 Max, is likely to be priced between $799-$849.

Things change a bit for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, mainly because they are using a newer camera module with a 48MP main camera and a newer ultrawide system. On top of that, the iPhone 14 Pro and the 14 Pro Max are getting newly developed displays and a new SoC.

Considering all this, the iPhone 14 Pro is likely going to be about $300-350 more expensive than the the non Pro model, meaning, it should start at about $999-$1049. The iPhone 13 Pro, at the time of its launch, was priced at $999. 

Similarly, the iPhone 14 Pro Max should start at about $1,149. The iPhone 13 Max started at $1,099 at launch. 

These are the prices for the base variants for each of the devices in the lineup. In India, realistically, you should be looking at paying about 15-20 per cent more as a premium as has been the case all these years. Prices may go down in India after a few months, considering that Apple will be moving a majority of the iPhone 14’s production to India from China, but it wouldn’t be wise to expect prices to drop by 10-15 per cent in just a few months after the launch, especially with the iPhone 14 Pro series.

Also, reports suggest that the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Max will be available at the time of launch should be available to customers right after launch. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, will be available from September 16, mainly due to a delayed production run that was caused by logistical and quality control issues.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
