The iPhone 14 isn't set to launch for another nine months yet – the length of a pregnancy – but the rumours are already building on what to expect from the little nipper.

The latest? The iPhone 14 could have two different-shaped cutouts on the screen and cost more than the iPhone 13.

The first rumour comes courtesy of display industry consultant Ross Young (via MacRumors). He reckons each cutout will serve a different purpose – the round 'hole punch' cutout will house the Face ID dot projector, while the pill-shaped cutout will be where the front-facing camera and Face ID infrared camera are stored.

This new design will come at a cost, if another rumour is to be believed. iDropNews reports that – as previously rumoured – the iPhone Mini will be dropped from the line-up, to be replaced by a bigger iPhone 14 Max. This will inevitably cost more than the Mini – its $899 (about £650, AU$1200) price tag would be $100 more than the standard iPhone 14. That would bump the price of the Pro model up to $1099, which is $100 more than the $999 of the iPhone 13 Pro.
