HIGHLIGHTS
* Apple might announce a Yellow Colour option for iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus.
* The new colour option could be released by the end of March.
* This information was tipped by a Weibo user but coincides with the release of special colour options for the previous iPhone models.
* iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are powered by Apple A15 Bionic SoC.
* The smartphones were launched in September.
* iPhone 14 price in India starts at Rs. 79,900.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus powered by Apple A15 Bionic SoCs went official during the company’s ‘Far out’ event in September last year.
Now, a fresh leak suggests that the Cupertino giant is gearing up to unveil the handsets in a new Yellow finish.
Apple’s PR team is reportedly planning a product briefing next week and it is speculated to announce a new iPhone colour option during the event.
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are currently available in Blue, Midnight, Purple, Starlight, and Red shades.
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus may soon come in a new colour for Apple fans. The tech giant intends to release the upcoming models in yellow this spring, according to a recent Weibo post shared by the Japanese blog MacOtakara.
To increase sales and gain media attention, Apple frequently adds new colour options in the middle of a product cycle.
In April 2021, the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini were offered in a Purple colourway, following that we saw the company’s introduction of new Green colour for the iPhone 13 series last year.
While the iPhone 14 Pro models are available in Deep Purple, Gold, Silver, and Space Black colours, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus (review) currently come in Blue, Purple, Midnight (Black), Starlight (White/Silver), and Product Red colour options.
It’s not clear if Apple will decide to add a new colour for the Pro models or if the yellow colour option will be available for them. While some fans might be thrilled about a potential yellow iPhone 14 Pro, others may believe that the vivid colour is better suited only for non-Pro models.
According to information obtained by MacRumors from its sources, Apple is preparing some sort of briefing for next week, which lends a little more credence to the announcement of a new colour.
Obviously, there were no details available for the event, but it will coincide fairly well with Apple’s release of Alpine green and Green colourways for spring 2022 from a year
ago.
Apparently, this is not the only colour change happening, for their iPhone 15 Pro, Apple has been rumoured to be including a new deeper red colour option that is unlike the bright “Product Red” colour of previous models.
If Apple is indeed launching a new yellow colour it’ll be the first time we’ve seen that option since the iPhone 11 in 2019. The most famous of yellow iPhones is of course the iPhone XR. It’s to be noted that we don’t know what kind of yellow Apple has planned this time around which means it could be either a muted hue or something much more vibrant.
If a new iPhone colour is in the works it’s possible that we could also see new cases and other accessories arrive at the same time, but we will find out more next week regardless. Either the rumoured product news is another iPhone colour, or it’s something else entirely.
What about the iPhone 14 Pro?
It’s true that few people will be suddenly motivated to buy an iPhone thanks to a new color – iPhone 14 cases will likely hide the design, after all.
But sprucing up the lineup is still helpful in generating attention for a handset six months into its life, after the initial sheen has worn off a bit.
But if it’s true that the iPhone 14 Pro series won’t be getting a new shade to match, that’s perhaps an indication of the contrasting fortunes of Apple’s two handset tiers.
According to display analyst Ross Young, in November the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14
Pro Max handsets accounted for 64% of iPhone 14 units sold – up from 51% of the iPhone 13 era split. Or to put it another way, they only accounted for 36% of sales this time around, as opposed to 49% last time around.
Perhaps that’s unsurprising given how limited an upgrade the iPhone 14 is – as I’ve written before, it makes sense to just buy a discounted iPhone 13 Pro instead.
In short, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max handsets likely don’t need any extra sales help.
But whether a yellow shade will give the iPhone 14 Plus a much-needed boost remains to be seen.

FAQ’s on IPhone 14 & IPhone 14 Plus Colours & other Apple IPhones
1) What is the latest yellow colour being introduced to iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 plus ?
Ans) Apple introduced green color versions of the iPhone 13 lineup last March, and according to Weibo user Setsuna Digital, the company will unveil the yellow-colored iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus this Spring.
We cannot confirm Setsuna’s track record, and their Weibo post talking about the yellow iPhone 14’s launch in Spring 2023 is from January.
However, the folks at 9T05Mac were able to independently confirm the expectation of a yellow iPhone 14, while MacRumors learned from multiple sources that Apple’s PR team is planning a product briefing next week, which could be for the yellow iPhone 14 since the green iPhone 13 models were announced on March 8, 2022.
The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini were introduced in a simple green shade, while the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max were unveiled in an Alpine Green color. It remains to be seen if Apple will adopt the same approach this time or only introduce the vanilla and Plus models in yellow color as the source claims.
That said, even if these rumors of the yellow iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus turn out to be true, it won’t be the first time Apple will launch a yellow-colored iPhone. The Cupertino-based tech giant launched a yellow iPhone 11 in 2019, iPhone XR in 2018, and iPhone 5C in 2013.
2) What is Price and availability of IPhone 14?What are the current colour options ?
Ans) The price of the iPhone 14 in India starts at Rs. 79,900 and the 14 Plus price starts at Rs. 89,900.
Both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus is currently available in Blue, Midnight, Purple, Starlight, and Red colour options.
3) What are the iPhone 14 Specifications?
Ans) The iPhone 14 has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display, which comes with (1170×2532 pixels) resolution and 460 PPI. With the display, 1,200 nits peak brightness and support for Always On Display have been provided.
The A15 bionic processor is present in the iPhone 14, which comes with 5 core GPU. Talking about the cameras, the iPhone 14 has a 12-megapixel rear camera setup and a 12-megapixel front camera.
Support for e-SIM and satellite connectivity is also available with the iPhone.
The iPhone 14 has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, while the iPhone 14 Plus has a 6.7-inch display.
Both iPhone 14 and 14 Plus phones have an Apple A15 Bionic chipset and both phones can be available with up to 512 GB of storage. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have a 12-megapixel dual wide-angle camera setup. HDR video and Dolby Vision are also supported by the camera.
