Time flies, and it’s already mid-July.
I don’t know if you all feel this way. I haven’t played with the iPhone 13 in my hands yet, and now the iPhone 14 series is coming.
According to previous news from the outside world, this year the appearance of the iPhone 14 Pro series will be mainly upgraded, removing the bangs and switching to a perforated screen design.
Although everyone has different opinions on the appearance design of the new iPhone, the smaller perforated screen will undoubtedly bring a larger screen-to-body ratio.
Recently, a set of iPhone 14 Pro Max design drawings based on CAD design were exposed, once again confirming this new appearance design for us.
After several months of constant revelations from the outside world, do you think the new perforated screen design is a little more pleasing to the eye?
At present, the appearance changes of the iPhone 14 Pro series models are basically stable.
In terms of performance, camera upgrades are also a focus of great concern.
According to previous rumors, the rear camera of the iPhone 14 Pro series models will be upgraded to 48 million pixels for the first time in a long time. This is also a major improvement after 6 years.
To this end, the camera module of the iPhone 14 Pro models may become larger and thicker.
Recently, a netizen named @AppleShenzhenFoxconn production worker from Baidu post bar "iPhone 14 Bar" exposed a set of aluminum plate drawings suspected to be used to open molds for iPhone 14 Pro Max.
The drawings look very reliable, not only confirming the design and screen size of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but also bringing more detailed parameters.
As you can see, the thickness of the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s camera is 4.17 mm, which is a full 0.57 mm thicker than the 3.6 mm of the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
For those who have no idea about this, you can compare the thickness of the coin. It is probably thicker than two 1 yuan coins.
Judging from the overall body thickness of the old and new generations of iPhones, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is 12.02 mm, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max is only 11.25 mm. The thickness increased by is mainly concentrated in the camera.
Excluding the camera and comparing only the body thickness, the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s 7.85 mm is 0.2 mm thicker than the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s 7.65 mm.
At the same time, the exposure of a set of iPhone 14 series phone cases also confirmed the larger camera module.
It seems that this year’s iPhone 14 Pro series models can really look forward to upgrades in camera performance.
Speaking of which, Apple has not carried out such a relatively intuitive upgrade to the iPhone for many years. Presumably this wave of changes will also make many "nail households" excited.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo’s survey of distributors, retailers and scalpers, the industry generally believes that domestic potential demand for the iPhone 14 series is continuing to increase.
Coupled with the previous strong performance of the iPhone 13 series, domestic demand for high-end iPhones is also growing.
The iPhone 14 series is expected to be quite popular.
At this stage, the iPhone 14 series has begun to enter the trial production stage and will officially enter mass production in August to prepare for the official release in September.
People familiar with the matter said that Apple has informed suppliers that initial sales of the iPhone 14 series will be higher than those of the iPhone 13 series.
However, according to sources Ross Young, the production process of the new iPhone 14 Plus (tentative name) will lag far behind other models due to the supply chain being affected by the epidemic lockdown in May.
Among them, the supply volume of iPhone 14 Pro Max will be more than three times that of iPhone 14 Plus.
At present, the supply chain situation is indeed not optimistic. Apple may give priority to ensuring the supply of iPhone 14 Pro Max. It seems to be more optimistic about high-end large-screen models that have always had excellent sales.
Of course, the current market assessment is only a prediction. The specific sales level of the iPhone 14 series still depends on the user experience that the new phone will ultimately bring to users.
If the iPhone 14 series is really good, I believe it will not be a problem to replicate the strong performance of last year’s iPhone 13 series.
Let us wait for the arrival of the iPhone 14 series.
