The iPhone 14 is expected to follow the usual launch cycle and be released at a fall event later this year. But just like every year, there has been a constant stream of rumors and leaks giving us an idea of what to expect with the new device.
Although all the rumors and leaks are not true once the device is revealed, they do reveal interesting insights about the device. Here, we’ve rounded up some of those rumors and leaks from previously proven reliable sources so you can imagine what the next generation iPhone could be like.
iPhone Max instead of iPhone mini
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gorman, Apple could scrap the mini version of the iPhone in favor of a maximum-size model. But just as in previous years, Apple will continue to release four models: a full-size model, two “Pro” models and a new “iPhone 14 Max”. This could mean that the iPhone 13 mini is the last small “model” that the company makes.
Complete redesign of iPhone 14
Unlike the iPhone 13 series, which featured a very small design update compared to the previous generation, the iPhone 14 series is expected to come with a “complete redesign,” according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gorman.
Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has claimed that the iPhone 14 series could do away with the iconic notch the phone first introduced in the iPhone X in 2017. Kuo predicts that the iPhone 14 Pro will be the first iPhone to have a pinhole camera hole for the front camera instead. from the slit.
In September last year, prior to the launch of the iPhone 13, Apple leaker John Prosser released images of what he claimed the iPhone 14 would look like. The rumored design looked like a super massive iPhone 4 with flowing rear cameras, a thicker chassis, and titanium sidebars.
A16 chip is not for all phones in the iPhone 14 series
A report from iDrop news has shed light on how Apple has been struggling to make the A16 and M2 chips. These two chipsets were created using the TSMC 4nm process, but the report indicates that Apple wants to focus more on the M2 chips, so only the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Max Pro will continue to use the A15 chip. It is said that Apple will slightly modify the A15 chip and rename it as the A16 chip for other phones to avoid criticism.
iPhone 14 . screens
The base and Pro variants are expected to include a 6.06-inch screen with a resolution of 2532 x 1170. The Max and Pro Max can come with 6.68-inch screens with a resolution of 2778 x 1284. Only the Pro Max is expected to come with a LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) display. ). All but the base model will come with screens that support 120Hz refresh rate. The base variant will come with a 60Hz LTPS (Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon) display.
New camera system and 8K video recording
Apple analyst Kuo also believes that Apple will switch to a 48MP primary sensor instead of the 12MP it has limited itself to for a few generations. This could mean that new phones could benefit from pixel binning, where multiple pixels are grouped together to work as a single unit for better low-light performance and detail.
The new 48-megapixel sensor could also mean that the iPhone 14 series could be the first to feature 8k video recording, a feature Samsung’s flagship Galaxy phones have had since the S20 in 2020. This wasn’t previously possible for Apple phones because recording accurately 8k requires at least a 33.2 megapixel sensor.
