According to industry sources, the iPhone 14 will be unveiled later this year during an event in the fall, following Apple ‘s customary launch cycle. The steady trickle of rumours and leaks, as has become customary each year, has provided us with a glimpse of what to expect from the new device.
While not all rumours and leaks turn out to be accurate when a device is officially unveiled, they do provide valuable information about the device in question. For your convenience, we’ve compiled a list of some of these rumours and leaks from previously reliable sources so you can get a sense of what Apple’s next iPhone might look like.
Instead of using an iPhone mini, opt for an iPhone Max instead.
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple may decide to discontinue the iPhone mini in favour of a larger-screened model called the iPhone Max. According to the company, it will continue to offer four different iPhones, including a standard-sized model; two “Pro” models; and a new “iPhone 14 Max.” Consequently, it’s possible that the iPhone 13 mini will be the company’s final “mini” model.
The iPhone 14 has been completely redesigned. As Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman points out, the iPhone 14 series is expected to be a “complete redesign,” in contrast with the iPhone 13 series, which featured only a minor design update over the previous generation.
According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 14 series may be the first to do away with the phone’s now-iconic notch, which was first introduced with the iPhone X last year. According to Kuo, the iPhone 14 Pro will be the first iPhone without a notch to include a hole-punch camera cutout for the front camera, which will be the first time for the company.
When Apple leaker Jon Prosser released renders of what he claimed would be the iPhone 14″s design in September of last year, it was just a few months before Apple’s iPhone 13 was released. The rumoured design was said to be similar to a supersized iPhone 4, complete with flush-mounted rear cameras, a thicker chassis, and Titanium sidebands, among other features.
There are some iPhone 14 series phones that are not compatible with the A16 chip.
According to iDrop news, Apple was experiencing manufacturing difficulties with the A16 and M2 chips. Both of these chips are manufactured using TSMC’s 4nm process, but according to the report, Apple intends to concentrate on M2 chips and will only use the A15 chip in the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Max Pro in the future. Apple is reportedly planning to slightly modify the A15 chip and rebrand it as an A16 chip for the other phones in order to avoid negative feedback from users.
Displays on the apple iPhone 14 are made up of –
In terms of display size, both the base and Pro models are expected to have a 6.06-inch display with a 25321170 resolution. The Max and Pro Max are expected to have displays with a resolution of 27781284 pixels on a 6.68-inch screen. LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) displays are expected to be available on only the Pro Max, according to expectations. All models, with the exception of the entry-level model, will have 120 Hz refresh rates. The entry-level model will come with a 60 Hz LTPS (low-temperature polycrystalline silicon) display as standard equipment.
A new camera system, as well as ultra-high-definition video recording, have been installed.
Apple analyst Kuo also believes that the company will move away from the 12MP primary sensor that it has used for several generations and toward a 48MP primary sensor in the near future. If this is the case, it is possible that the new phones will make use of pixel binning, which is a technique in which multiple pixels are grouped together to improve performance in low light and detail.
A new 48MP sensor could also mean that the iPhone 14 series will be the first to support 8k video recording, which has been available on Samsung’s flagship Galaxy phones since the S20 was released in 2020, according to Apple. Because recording in 8k requires a sensor with at least 33.2MP resolution, this was previously not possible on Apple phones.
