Editor's Desk: Apple's fall event announcement, iPhone 14 price increase, iOS 16 battery woes - iMore

As recently noted on our iPhone 14 prediction page, we're still probably a month away from the first of what's likely to be two Apple fall events6

13, should include iPhone 14 series and Apple Watch Series 8 reveals, with announcements about new iPads and Macs following sometime in October. .

Pre-orders for the iPhone 14 and the new Apple Watch series should begin on Friday, Sept.

According to Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple's expected to increase the price of the iPhone 14 Pro series handsets by around 15%. .

However, Apple has never increased the price of the iPhone Pro lineup since the iPhone 11 Pro series launched in 2019, so I guess it's fair.

Like the iPhone 13 (the best iPhone currently on the market) before it, this model should start at $799.

However, Apple will still see increased revenue on the regular iPhone 14 series since it's likely to replace the iPhone mini with an all-new iPhone 14 Max in the lineup.

The iPhone 13 mini starts at $699, while the new Max model is expected to launch at $899, according to the latest iPhone 14 rumors.

These betas feature the return of a battery indicator number on the iPhone Home screen, which Apple removed beginning with the iPhone X.

It could prove difficult to find any long-term iPhone user upset by Apple's decision to reverse course and include a battery percentage number on the iPhone Home screen.

Here you can see the difference between the battery indicator on the iPhone home screen and Control Center:.

There's one final point that's been brought up about the new iOS 16 battery indicator: Some early users have reported that it doesn't work on some iPhone models, including the iPhone 11 Max, iPhone 12 Max, and iPhone 13 mini. .
