Yes, wait for the party to never admit defeat.
According to the development of the plot, Brother Ji knows that many people are already waiting for the iPhone 13.
So, everyone must be very much looking forward to what new upgrades the iPhone 13 will bring.
emmm... Judging from the current news, the biggest upgrade may be-
is more environmentally friendly.
Some time ago, a Brazilian iPhone 12 user received a questionnaire from Apple. The content of this questionnaire is mainly about the product experience of the iPhone 12 series.
Among them, several questions about the accessories of the packing box are included.
In general, Apple asked users whether they used the included Apple stickers, card pins and data cables.
In addition, there are several questions about Face ID in the questionnaire.
It asked users how satisfied they are with Face ID. If they are not satisfied, the questionnaire will give several options and ask users to choose a reason.
includes security and privacy issues, slow unlocking, low recognition rate, etc. Users can also fill in by themselves.
In the eyes of many people, this may be a simple questionnaire.
But the witty Holmore machine has already seen everything. .
must know that in July of this year, Apple also issued another questionnaire about USB charging plugs to users.
And this questionnaire includes the usage of charging plugs.
In this questionnaire, Apple also specifically pointed out that the survey is for the USB charging plug, not for the Lightning data cable.
Then... They cut off the charging plug in the next iPhone 12 and kept the data cable.
Therefore, according to Apple's past operations, many people have begun to guess whether the iPhone 13 next year will cancel the Face ID and Lightning data cables. What does
mean?
Maybe an iPhone without bangs and no interface is coming.

without bangs
As we all know, Apple’s "bangs" integrate several important parts. In addition to speakers, microphones and front cameras,
also has infrared cameras, flood light sensing elements, distance sensors (ToF), ambient light sensors and dot-matrix projectors, all of which are closely related to Face ID. For example,
.
When the phone's face is close to the phone to be unlocked, the distance sensor (ToF) will be activated first and activate the flood light sensor and infrared camera.
Then the VCSEL chip in the flood light sensor element will emit several infrared lights, and the reflected light will be captured by the infrared camera to determine whether the next face recognition is needed. If
needs to perform face recognition, it will start the dot-matrix projector, which will emit a large number of infrared structured light points, and capture the face information through the infrared camera.
When these information can be matched, the verification can be completed.
and the cancellation of Face ID means that these sensors will not be useful.
In accordance with Apple's consistent pursuit of "less is more", this "bangs" occupying a position does not have any need for existence.
Of course, if you want to achieve the most extreme effect, then Apple also needs to consider how to arrange the location of the front camera.
In this regard, it depends on the development progress of the camera under the Apple screen.
The media has exposed several related programs, including the concealable perforated screen applied for in 2018.
In addition, in 2019, Apple also applied for a semi-hidden screen design. In order to remove the "bangs", the
patent moved the handset to the border position at the top of the screen without retaining any extra openings.
This year, Apple’s patent shows that in the future, sensors can be placed between pixels on the screen.
So technically speaking, we may be getting closer and closer to the iPhone without bangs.
After canceling the Face ID, how should the user unlock the phone?
Anyway, Apple has tried to use the Touch ID built into the top button on the iPad Air. Brother
thinks it is actually a good choice.
no interface
Actually since last year, Apple will develop an interfaceless iPhone. Master Guo, who everyone is very familiar with, also mentioned this in a report after the iPhone 11 conference at the end of last year.
(Guo: Apple will launch an iPhone without an interface in 2021)
Beginning this year, many foreign media outlets have also stated that Apple's interfaceless iPhone is already on the way.
(the iPhone without interface will be born soon)
But huh, the joke is not nonsense, the revelation is not nonsense. (double bet)
If next year’s iPhone really cancels the included Lightning data cable, then it will be perfectly connected with the current information. Since
has no interface at all, there is no need for a data cable.
(foreign media rendering)
As for how to charge the iPhone without an interface, in fact, this year’s iPhone 12 has already given a specific solution.
That's right, Magsafe.
It is well known that Apple has cancelled long-used parts on the iPhone more than once.
pour forward a bit, the 3.5mm headphone jack and home button disappeared on the iPhone under Apple’s superb knife.
And every time, Apple will give a corresponding alternative, like replacing wired EarPods with AirPods, and replacing the unlock function on the home button with Face ID.
So the emergence of Magsafe is regarded by many people as a substitute for the Lightning interface. It can charge the iPhone through magnetic attraction.
In addition, if the iPhone is designed to cancel the interface and adopt Magsafe, the waterproof and dustproof performance will be greatly improved. The location of the
interface is vacant, which can also contribute to the upgrade of other parts.
Of course, Brother Ji thinks that the most important thing is probably the sales profit of accessories.
After canceling the 3.5mm headphone jack, Apple revitalized the entire AirPods business and made a lot of money. If
reluctantly cut down the profitable Lightning, then maybe it is to copy the second AirPods myth through Magsafe. With the little abacus of
, Brother Ji has helped Apple make it clear...
Judging from the current situation, Brother Ji feels that it is not completely impossible for Apple to be revealed to launch an iPhone without bangs and interfaces next year.
Apple really needs a little more innovation to make consumers willing to pay for it.
Otherwise, in addition to changing the frame and adding a camera, the design of the iPhone has given users less and less freshness.
But Jige must say that Apple is not the first brand to try to use portless phones.
The Apex 2019 shown by vivo last year, because of the design of no port and no buttons, has been popular in the technology circle for a while.
However, as a concept phone, Apex 2019 has not really been put into mass production.
(Apex 2019 concept phone launched by vivo)
So, which brand in the future will be the first to achieve mass production of smart phones without ports and bangs is still uncertain. Brother
has already begun to rub his hands and look forward to it.
