Apple fanatics are potentially getting their first physical look at the upcoming iPhone 14 lineup, thanks to a photo of production molds that has sprung up on Chinese social network Weibo.
As noted by MacRumors, the casts appear to be made for third-party accessories, rather than the actual iPhone 14 series. Nevertheless, they offer a corroborated glimpse at the relative sizes of upcoming iPhone cases and the refreshed camera bumps.

Apple is slated to launch four handsets under the iPhone 14 name: two of them being 6.1-inch models (iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro), and the other two being 6.7-inch variations (iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max). Rumor has it that the tech giant is scrapping the 5.4-inch size as it hasn’t taken off as well.
The image also includes a preview of the slightly larger camera bump, as well as reaffirms reports that the flat iPhone 4-like frame is here to stay.
Since the photo only depicts the back of the iPhones, missing from view is the redesigned ‘pill and hole punch’ design that Apple is anticipated to replace the notch with on the iPhone 14 Pro models.
