The iPhone 14 now comes in this yellow color, and I’m obsessed with it

By

Apple announced a new iPhone this morning. No, not the iPhone 15 or the rumored iPhone 15 Ultra. Apple is refreshing the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus for 2023 with a brand-new yellow color. Rumors of the yellow color began circulating a couple of weeks ago, and on Tuesday, March 7, Apple made it official.

Reading through the press release on its website, Apple says this new yellow hue adds “even more color choices to the lineup.” Per the company’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, Bob Borchers, “People love their iPhone and rely on it every day for all that they do, and now there’s an exciting addition to the lineup with a new yellow iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus.”

Apple obviously wants you to be impressed with the new color. But is it actually any good? That’s something you’ll need to decide for yourself, but personally, I think it looks great. It looks very similar to the yellow color Apple uses on the iPad 10th Gen, which is to say it’s a deep, saturated yellow. In keeping with the iPhone 14’s typical design elements, the back glass provides a glossy yellow finish which contrasts nicely with the matte camera bump and aluminum frame. I still think the blue iPhone 14 is my personal favorite, but this may be a very close second.

As Apple fans may recall, this isn’t the first time Apple’s released a new color midway through an iPhone’s life cycle. Last year, Apple released two new green finishes for the iPhone 13 family — a standard “green” for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini plus “alpine green” for the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Interestingly, Apple’s only offering its new yellow color for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are still only available in the four launch colors of deep purple, gold, silver, and space black.

Forget the iPhone 17 Pro design, the 20th anniversary iPhone could be the boldest yet

There are always plenty of rumours surrounding the next iPhone, with some even appearing over a year before the model in question is due to be announced. For this year it is the iPhone 17 series that is expected to be announced in September, with several reports claiming there will be a design change for the Pro models coming, as well as the arrival if a super slim iPhone. 

But the latest report we are talking about here isn't about this year's iPhone, or even next year's. It's for the 20th anniversary iPhone model, that is set to arrive in 2027, alongside a potential folding iPhone. According to Mark Gurman's latest Power On newsletter, picked up by Macrumors, the iPhone Pro that launches alongside the folding iPhone will feature a "bold" design that makes more extensive use of glass.

Don’t hold your hopes for a fancy design refresh on the iPhone 17 Pro

For nearly half a decade, Apple has sold smartphones that fundamentally serve the same design language originating on the iPhone 11. Later this year, the iPhone 17 series will hit the shelves. If you’ve been expecting an aesthetic makeover, there’s some bad news for you, unless you’re ready to spend big bucks on one of the Pro models. 

According to Bloomberg, the iPhone 17 Pro “will look meaningfully different,” compared to its iPhone 16 series counterpart. Alongside the rumored super-sleek iPhone 17 Air trim, these two are reportedly the biggest design refreshes in recent years on Apple smartphones. The approach, however, would still be quite modest.

A $2,300 iPhone? The recent tariffs make that a possibility
The Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max's charging port.

Apple's iPhone might see a serious price hike in response to the recent tariffs, according to a report from Rosenblatt Securities. Analysts suggest the tariffs could result in a price increase of anywhere from 30% to 40%, if Apple chooses to pass the increased costs on to consumers. Neil Shah, an analyst from Counterpoint Research, suggests Apple would need to increase prices by 30% on average, while Rosenblatt analysts say the number is closer to 43%.

To illustrate what that might look like, take a look at the current $799 price point for the iPhone 16. If its price increases by 43%, it would come out to around $1,142. On the other hand, the iPhone 16 Pro Max — currently priced at $1,599 for its base model — could jump to just under $2,300 ($2,286.57, to be exact.)
