The iPhone 14 Pro may get a unique design change from other iPhone 14 models, if a new set of renders are to be believed. And what's more, the entire iPhone line could benefit from Apple's purple color option.
Let's tackle the rumored iPhone 14 Pro design first. According to Front Page Tech render artist Ian Zelbo, writing for AppleTrack, the Pro model could have more rounded corners on both its body and screen. This change would be reserved for the standard Pro, however, with the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the base iPhone 14 model, and the supposedly new iPhone 14 Max missing.

The reason for this design change is apparently to make the radius of the corners of the screen more closely resemble those of the rear camera bump, which itself is supposed to get bigger to make room for a new sensor. 48 MP main camera on Pro models.

If you look at the back of the base iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, you'll see the corners of their bodies curve in the same way as those of the camera block. That's not the case with the Pro models, however.

If true, that would be another difference between the Pro and non-Pro models, joining the many others featured in our iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro preview.
Of course this time there would also be a distinction between the standard Pro and the Pro Max which seems surprising but either way the new look should be shown on the Front Page Tech channel in the near future we will so watch with interest.
Violet color option and a new flash
In other iPhone 14 news, we may get a new purple color option to choose from, based on a deleted Weibo post seen by ShrimpApplePro and AppleTrack, as well as Twitter user SaranByte.

According to the now-deleted post, the standard iPhone 14 will come in Midnight, Starlight, and Product Red hues, just like the iPhone 13, but with that new purple option and a sky blue tone replacing the current deeper blue.
For the Pro models, there will apparently be Graphite, Silver and Gold as usual, alongside a darker purple, likely with a matte finish like the others.
On top of that, there will supposedly be a new flash module design for the rear camera array. The current iPhone flash contains two circular lenses within the module's overall circle, but the new one will apparently feature two concentric circles instead. However, it's unclear why Apple would make this change - if at all.

There are many more design changes planned for this year's iPhone beyond these latest rumours. For example, we should also see thinner bezels around the screen, as well as a pill and punch-hole notch on the Pro models to replace the existing cutout.
We won't know if these rumors are true for several months, as Apple's new flagship line isn't expected until September. But in the meantime, be sure to check back on our iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro hubs for the latest news and leaks.
