In the recent “Far Out” event, on 7th September 2022, Apple announced its flagship Apple iPhone 14 and Apple iPhone 14 Plus. While the other phones in the iPhone 14 series also launch on the date mentioned above, their release dates and when the phones will be available in India will be specified in the article. This article will discuss the iPhone 14 release date in India and when you might be able to get your hands on your next iPhone in India.
So, without further delay, let’s check out what we need to know regarding the phone and the release date!
iPhone 14 Release date
As stated earlier, the iPhone 14 lineup was revealed at the September 7 event that Apple held at Apple Park, California. However, In this event, the actual release date of the phones was announced. Considering the previous Apple events, there is usually a gap between the announcement of devices and the actual release of the devices. Following the earlier patterns, the phones, after their unveiling on September 7th, were shipped two days later, on September 9, in the West.
Despite the early preorder dates, the phones could be made available for sale on September 9, 2022. It seems that you’ll only be able to get your hands on the iPhone 14 during the third week of September in India.
This series of dates is based on the USA market. For the Indian market, there could be a slight delay when it comes to the actual release date. Moreover, the phone will not be manufactured in India for the first two months upon release. So, expect India’s iPhone 14 release date to be on or after September 16, 2022. In addition to other Apple hardware, including the Apple Watch 8 series, Airpods Pro, and more. Apple fans will also get the iPhone 14 Plus, which will be available on October 7, 2022.
Additionally, the global semiconductor shortage also means that the development of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Max models is a month behind the original schedule. While the phones will be released according to the original timeline, they might be more difficult to acquire.

The front camera is also a 12-megapixel selfie shooter that was seen in its predecessors.
