Welcome to the Continental Europe iPhone 14 Launch Thread
On September 7th 2022 Apple is planning to hold their annual conference where they will unravel the new iPhone 14 amongst other products.
Many of us will be ordering our new iPhone from Continental Europe, where we can find many stores given the variety of countries and languages.
Mainly prices will be in EUR (€), since the vast majority of countries use this currency (Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain)
Since logistics in Europe can differ from country to country, this is a great place to share our orders, shipments and trackings.

Key Specs Recap iPhone 14 (Regular):
- The iPhone 14 will share the same design and body as the iPhone 13. This year the 'mini' version will no longer exist, instead Apple is planning to release a 6,7 inch iPhone 14.
- The iPhone 14 is said to have the same A15 Bionic chip as the iPhone 13, however it will probably be faster (higher clock speeds), and possible have an extra GPU core (compared to the 13)
- They will see their RAM rise from the iPhone 13 (4GB > 6GB), however technology will stay the same (LPDDR4X)
- Improvements across the board are expected (camera, speakers, microphone, battery, etc.)
Key Specs Recap iPhone 14 Pro
- The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro max are said to be slightly wider and heavier than the iPhone 13 Pro & Pro Max. The camera bump will protrude slight more and at the same time have a slightly larger size than the iPhone 13.
- The notch is said to disappear, instead latest rumors indicate that the Pro models will have a horizontal pill-sized shape where it will house the selfie cam, and FaceID tech.
- It is said to have the A16 Bionic Chip, with overall faster speeds (% yet to be seen), when compared to the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max.
- The amount of RAM stays the same, however it gets a technology update (LPDDR5), possibly due to extra bandwidth needed for faster processing.
- Big updates in the camera department: new 48 megapixel sensor, improved optics, improved night mode, improved video, 8K recording
- All-ways On Display (AOD), thanks to a new LTPO 1 - 120 Hz OLED screen (same tech as Apple Watch 6 and beyond)
- Slightly thinner bezels than the iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max
- Improvements across the board are expected (screen brightness, speakers, microphones, etc.)
5. FAQ
When can I expect to preorder my product?
- Orders are planned to start shortly after the event.
Where should I complete my preorder/purchase?
- It is strongly recommended to place your preorder/purchase through the Apple Store APP directly on your iPhone. As a second option, the website is also available, however it usually takes more time to update (after the event), and usually takes a hit in performance due lots of people trying to access it
Accessories
- It is recommended to purchase your iPhone separate to the accessories since these can cause delays.
- Place a different order for your accessories.
- Remember to consider if you need a charger or not. The iPhone only comes with its charging cable.
Payment recomendations
- If you're planning to pay with Apple Pay, you shouldn't have any issues, however if you're planning on using a different type of debit/credit card, it is recommended to have them nearby for faster completion of payment. If you are considering a monthly payment, have all your documents ready for whichever financial institution is offering the installments.
- Depending on each country, it is recommend to verify before which financial institution is offering credit, their terms and requirements. It's better to have this settled before rather than on the day of preorder/purchase.
Shipping/Delivery
- If you're shipping to your home or any other private address, make sure to be available or have someone to collect the parcel, otherwise you could encounter delays if the courier can't make it to you.
- If you're picking it up at an Apple Store, just follow their instructions (always take ID with you).
- Consider faster shipping if needed and available.
AppleCare +
- AppleCare+ is an insurance that apple offers customers when purchasing their iPhones. In Exchange for a one-time down payment (or a monthly plan), you will be covered for thing such as accidental screen damage or other types of damage. All repairs are subject to fees that can be found on their website.
- In some European countries they also have AppleCare+ Plus where they can cover loss & theft. Once again, this can be payed in a one-time payment, or monthly. Repairs and recovery of products are subject to fees that are also on Apples website.
- The monthly plan is more expensive, however it takes a bit off the initial price. But in the end its up to you.
- Check your countries Apple site for more specific details on AppleCare+.
How can I track my order?
- Usually Apple sends through UPS, here you can choose your country/language to track your parcel.
- Track17 is another great site for tracking, it supports many carriers and languages.
- If you're order is dispatched with a different courier, check their site for tracking with the provided number.
When will I receive my order?
- After placing your preorder/order, Apple should give you an estimate. You can always check your order progress/status with Apple on their APP or self-service website (remember to choose country/language)
- It really comes down to where you live. In urban areas they should deliver on time, which is usually the day it’s out at the store. If you live out on the country side, or in remote areas it's possible to experience delays.
