Just yesterday, Apple announced “California Streaming” would take place on September 14th at 10 AM PDT. Many Apple users believe that the tech giant is going to reveal their design for the iPhone 13, the Apple Watch Series 7, and potentially AirPods 3.
With this major announcement coming from Apple, one would think social media would be jumping at the bit to talk about the new iPhone 13. Instead people are buzzing about the iPhone 14. The iPhone 14? Yes that’s right. Notorious tech leaker Jon Prosser from Front Page Tech just claimed he has a look at the iPhone 14 over a year before its release and even before the iPhone 13 has been released.
In this video Prosser claims that the iPhone is following Android’s lead by making the back of the phone completely flat. They are accomplishing this by placing the camera in a cutout instead of having it jut out like it has been in recent models. Another big change is that the iPhone 14 will allegedly be surrounded by a titanium chassis. Prosser even claims to have real images of the iPhone 14 which can be seen in the video above. If this information from Prosser is true, he may have just spoiled not one, but two Apple product launches.
Twitter users are already debating if the iPhone 13 is worth buying or if one should simply wait a year until the iPhone 14 drops.

Since Prosser’s tweet at 11:18 AM, iPhone 14 has climbed to the sixth highest trend on Twitter in a matter of two hours with 7,510 mentions that have already reached over 35 million users. Main topics surrounding the iPhone 14 leak include the iPhone 12, the iPhone 13, the upcoming Apple Event, and John Prosser who is the cause of the leak.
Users are worried about their old iPhones not working. This may be a justified concern considering Apple settled a lawsuit some refer to as Battery Gate in 2020.

Other users are upset that they recently spent money on an iPhone 12 just to see two newer generations get announced in the last 24 hours.

It will be interesting to see how much more traction this leak can garner before Apple’s official announcement of the iPhone 13 on September 14th. It will also be worth tracking news surrounding the event to see if Apple changes plans in response to such a massive leak.
