iPhone 14 These rumors are heating up, Apple 's new iPhone may bring the biggest changes in years. Leaks so far suggest the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max feature a sleeker new design, a faster A16 Bionic chip, and a new, sharper 48MP main camera.
The regular iPhone 14 lineup may also be changing, as the mini is expected to be phased out in favor of the new 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max. But we're also worried that the iPhone 14 might be boring compared to the Pro (opens in a new tab) , since it might offer a very similar design and maybe even last year's A15 Bionic chip.
Here's what we've heard so far about the iPhone 14, why it will be one of the biggest Apple products of 2022, and what we want to see from the new flagship. Let’s take a look together!
iPhone 14 design
According to leaks on the Internet, the iPhone 14 will look like a cross between iPhone 12 and iPhone 4, as it will maintain flat edges. But those edges could include a mute button and a set of circular buttons for volume in the center, reminiscent of the iPhone 4.
Some schematics show the raised camera array on the iPhone 14 Pro models. The iPhone 14 Pro has a larger camera array, and it looks unlikely that it will be standard. The iPhone 14 will get a set of cameras that are flush with its back panel.
Some rumors suggest that the iPhone 14 will finally kill the notch in the display. But for now, it looks like only the iPhone 14 Pro is notch-less, opting for a combination of a circular camera cutout and a pill-shaped cutout to hold the Face ID sensor. It may also have reduced bezels, which would make the display look larger.
Similar to the Pro, the iPhone 14 Max will have the same body design and a 6.7-inch display.
Both the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max reveal 0.2mm thicker phones and larger camera bumps. Interestingly, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max won’t differ too much from their predecessors in height and width.
Speaking of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, a recent leak appears to have revealed a ton of details about what will be Apple's biggest next flagship phone. Apparently, Apple is going to take a number of steps to make the larger iPhone a slimmer phone, or at least allow the phone to capture images from the display without losing the sensor technology needed for effective and secure Face ID Get as much screen space as possible.
Regarding color options, a source said that Midnight, Starlight, and Product Red color options will be available as usual, with the current blue being replaced with a lighter sky blue and a new purple option.
iPhone 14 display
I expect changes to the iPhone 14 series as we will reportedly see the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro come with 6.1-inch displays, while the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max may come with 6.7-inch displays . So no more 5.4-inch mini iPhone.
The iPhone 14 will feature a 6.08-inch display, while the iPhone 14 Max will feature a 6.68-inch panel. This is the same as iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max. However, the Pro models may become slightly larger (6.12 inches vs. 6.69 inches respectively) thanks to new bezels.
Given that the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max feature 120Hz refresh rate displays, it would be nice to see all iPhone 14 models have such screens, possibly using LTPO panels or an evolution of this display technology.
The use of this panel technology means that the iPhone 14 Pro is expected to have an always-on display. Show notifications and content on the display without waking up the phone.
A new rumor claims that the iPhone 14 Max is expected to get a 120Hz refresh rate display.In this case, LG will apparently be the screen manufacturer, although it's unclear whether the standard iPhone 14 will get a faster refresh rate or stick to 60Hz.
Recent rumors suggest that standard iPhone 14 models are expected to get 90Hz refresh rate displays; it's not the speedy 120Hz refresh rate we were hoping to see, but it would be a significant improvement over 60Hz panels.
What is interesting is a report that Apple may leave OLED panel supplier BOE because the company allegedly cheated on the width of thin film transistors . Then Apple needs to work with LG and Samsung as its only partners.
iPhone 14: Camera
We’re starting to hear more about the iPhone 14 camera, and the rumors are getting really interesting. A report suggests that the main sensor of the iPhone 14 Pro models will be 48MP, which will be a significant improvement over the 12MP camera on the iPhone 13. This shows that megapixels are important to Apple again — at least when it comes to the company's Pro phones.
However, the regular standard iPhone 14 models are tipped to use a 12MP camera, with only the Pro model expected to feature a 48MP main camera.
Regardless of whether the results are accurate, a larger main sensor would be welcome. But we're particularly interested in the improved telephoto lens , as the iPhone lags behind the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S21. In fact, it would be pretty cool if Apple took inspiration from the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and opted for a secondary telephoto camera with something like 10x optical zoom.
An Apple patent states that Apple is working on a periscope-style zoom camera , which may make its way to the iPhone 14, or at least the Pro model.
All iPhone 14 models are ready for an upgraded front-facing camera, which is set to feature a wider aperture (f/1.9 vs. f/2.2 on current iPhones), partial lenses, and built-in autofocus. Together these should help capture brighter photos and videos, while making it easier to stay in focus and with less distortion in the image.
iPhone 14: Specs, battery life and charging
Apple may decide to only offer the new A16 Bionic chip for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max. The regular iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will accordingly be powered by the year-old A15 Bionic , further widening the gap between iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.
Another tipster also claimed that the iPhone 14 will use the A15 Bionic instead of an upgraded chip, stating: “Apple is seriously considering using the A15 in non-pro iPhones later this year. However, the company, which is based in the library Bitino 's company plans to call it the A16 chip.
Another report cited people familiar with the matter as saying that the iPhone 14 will use a version of the A15 Bionic chipset that powers this year's iPhone 13 Pro models. The chip comes with 6GB of RAM, while the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini use 4GB of RAM. So it will be an upgrade, but probably not the one we expected.
All four iPhone 14 models will come with 6GB of RAM, up from 4GB in the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini. However, the base model will use LPDDR 4X RAM like the current iPhone 13 series, while the Pro model is said to get faster and more efficient LPDDR 5 RAM.
In terms of storage, we expect Apple to continue to offer options for the iPhone 13 series, starting at 128GB and going up to 1TB for the Pro model.
However, rumors suggest that the iPhone 14 is expected to get a massive 2TB of onboard storage. Given that no Samsung phone offers this feature, and their previous storage was huge, we doubt the iPhone has the most storage on a smartphone to date.
A Weibo source who claimed to know the battery capacity of the iPhone 14 series revealed that all models except the iPhone 14 Pro Max will increase slightly in size.The 14 Pro Max actually shrinks a bit, but hopefully not enough to impact the phone's overall battery life.
iPhone 14: 5G and satellite connectivity
The iPhone 14 may feature an Apple-made 5G modem after Apple acquired Intel ’s modem business. This may give Apple more control over the impact of 5G on performance and battery life, but it may only debut with next year's iPhone 15.
Apple reportedly plans to equip new iPhones with a new 5G chip, which may reduce power consumption while maintaining stable performance. A recent report revealed that TSMC has allegedly secured orders for 5G chips for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 14 series.
The RF chip is said to be produced based on a 6nm manufacturing process, which allows suppliers to offer physically smaller chips without sacrificing performance, thereby reducing power consumption.
In addition, the smaller 5G chip can also free up more space for Apple to install a larger battery. Therefore, combined with better power efficiency, the described chip could improve the overall battery life of the phone.
While we're on the subject of connectivity, an old rumor has resurfaced - iPhones will gain the ability to connect to satellite networks so users can send text messages to emergency services when cellular networks are unavailable. Now sources claim that iPhone 14 models could add satellite connectivity as Apple looks to bolster its phones' emergency capabilities.
