The reason why Apple only implemented quite a few design changes to the iPhone 13 is mainly to make big moves on the iPhone 14 in 2022. Compared with the previous generation iPhone 12 product line, the iPhone 13 replaces all four sub-SKUs but brings a smaller notch, a slightly larger camera, and increased battery capacity (endurance) and body weight.
However, for next year’s iPhone 14, it is said that Apple will cut off the poorly sold mini models. At the same time, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman revealed that the company will come up with a new entry model and a redesigned Pro version.
Well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo once said that Apple is testing perforated screens for some iPhone 14 models. But a few months later, we ushered in big news about the iPhone 14 Pro product line.
It is said that Apple has adopted a titanium alloy body for both the iPhone 14 Pro/Pro Max models, introducing the long-experienced perforated front camera solution from the Android camp, and the sensors including Face ID will try to put it on the screen under. But if the prototype does not meet expectations, Apple may switch back to the evil bangs plan again.
In terms of taking pictures, we can expect that the new 2022 iPhone models will usher in a major increase in resolution. An earlier report pointed out that the iPhone 14 Pro model will use a 48MP main camera, and all iPhone 14 series will support 8K video recording. In addition, Apple may also introduce autofocus for ultra-wide-angle lenses.
If the news is reliable, we may finally see two 6.1 and two 6.7-inch models, which are oriented to the entry/high-end market. As for whether the iPhone 14 will upgrade the LTPO OLED screen to support the variable refresh rate, it remains to be tested.
