According to Jeff Pu, an analyst at Haitong International Securities Group, Apple plans to release four iPhone 14 models in September 2022, including the 6.1-inch iPhone 14, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max, 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro and 6.7-inch iPhone 14. Pro Max.
In the research report, analyst Pu said that these two Pro models will be equipped with a three-lens rear camera system, with an upgraded 48-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle and telephoto lens. This is consistent with the information shared by Guo Mingchi, an analyst at Tianfeng International Securities, who claimed in April that the 48-megapixel lens will support 8K video recording.
Pu also predicted that the iPhone 14 Pro model will be equipped with 8GB of RAM, which is higher than the 6GB of the iPhone 13 Pro model. Although this rumor sounds reasonable, some other iPhone 14 specifications predicted by Pu seem unlikely, such as his claim that all four iPhone 14 models will be equipped with 120Hz displays. As early as September, display industry analyst Ross Young said that standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max models will stick to 60Hz displays.
Pu also said that the standard iPhone 14 model will start with 64GB of storage, although the iPhone 13 series will start with 128GB of storage. Pu has a mixed record on Apple rumors. For example, he accurately claimed that the 16-inch MacBook Pro and iPad Pro models of mini LED displays will be launched in 2021, but his statement about the launch of HomePods with 3D sensor cameras in 2019 is wrong.
