I guess everyone has discovered that in recent years, the development of mobile phones has encountered certain bottlenecks. When many mobile phones are updated, they only carry out simple designs in terms of performance and imaging systems, commonly known as "squeezing toothpaste" ". For example, this year's iPhone 13 has indeed improved performance and imaging system compared to the iPhone 12, and its appearance has also changed to some extent. However, for users holding iPhone 12, most of the upgrades to the iPhone 13 feel like "the perception is not strong". For those who are concerned about the iPhone 14 series, you might as well take a look at the iPhone 14 Pro concept machine exposed by foreign media.
Just days after iPhone 13 pre-orders began, Tianfeng International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shared some of his key hardware expectations for next year’s tentative iPhone 14 Pro models, including a hole-punch screen and a 48-megapixel rear wide-angle lens.
A punch-hole screen refers to a display with only a small circular opening for the front camera, which can be seen on many mobile phones. This design will remove the "notch" and the Face ID sensor may be moved below the display.
As for the rear camera, the 48-megapixel wide-angle lens will be an upgrade from the 12-megapixel wide-angle lens on the iPhone13 Pro model. Apple is expected to release the iPhone 14 series in the second half of 2022, in line with its usual release schedule. Ming-Chi Kuo also reiterated that Apple plans to release the third-generation iPhone SE with 5G support in the first half of 2022.
In addition to claiming that the iPhone 14 Pro models will have a hole-punch screen and a 48-megapixel wide-angle lens, Ming-Chi Kuo also outlined his further expectations for the iPhone.
While he previously predicted that Apple would launch the first iPhone with under-display fingerprint scanner in the second half of 2022, due to slower-than-expected development progress, he now expects the devices to be released in the second half of 2023. For similar reasons, Kuo also predicted that Apple's first foldable iPhone will be launched in 2024, compared with the previous prediction of 2023.
In addition, it is worth mentioning today that Mingmei Infinity has recently reported that there will be no mini models in the iPhone 14 series, leaving only three large-screen versions of 6.7 inches and 6.1 inches. Due to the cancellation of the mini model, it is reported that the iPhone 14, as an entry-level model, will have a lower starting price. Users may buy the entry-level 128G version for 5,999 yuan this time next year.
In addition, we learned through Apple’s supply chain that in terms of screen preparation, at least one model of the iPhone 14 will continue to use an LTPS OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate. In other words, it will be the cheapest entry-level model.
In terms of size, it will be 6.1-inch iPhone 14, 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max.
In addition, there is exciting news from foreign media. In addition to Face ID, the iPhone 14 is expected to return to the well-received Touch ID, with more first-class tactile feedback. According to Apple's step-by-step upgrade strategy, in addition to upgrading the appearance and screen, the iPhone 14 will also see some improvements in camera and battery life. If it is designed like this, the next generation of Apple mobile phones will be too tempting. As we all know, Apple mobile phones are basically updated every four years. One set of molds was used for four years from iPhone 6 to iPhone 8. iPhone X to iPhone 13 are also similar, except for some minor adjustments in size.
As for the hardware configuration, it goes without saying that the performance of the new A-series processors equipped with iPhone 14 will be stronger, and the performance of Apple's A-series processors has always been relatively powerful, so there is no need to worry about performance.
Also, Apple has put bigger batteries in the iPhone 13 series, but the charging speed has not improved, and the charging speed seems to be limited to 20W again.
This is disappointing because Android phones like the One Plus 9 Pro have 65W fast charging, while the Samsung Galaxy S21 has 25W, so we were hoping to see Apple finally achieve faster charging with the iPhone 14.
Considering that Apple has always followed "progressive upgrades", it can be expected that the charging speed of iPhone 14 should be between 25W and 30W. Let's wait and see, next year's iPhone 14...
So, after 13, 14 will be more fragrant?
Next, today Mingmei Infinity would like to mention by the way that the news of Apple’s folding mobile phone comes from Korean media reports. The news said that Apple is developing two folding mobile phones, one with a left and right opening cover, and the other with an upper and lower cover. Lifting the cover, Apple’s first foldable phone is expected to be released in 2023. Now Apple is developing foldable panels with LG Display.
Considering that the prices of folding phones released by Huawei and Samsung are not low, it can be guessed that Apple’s folding phone will at least not be lower than the price of the former two phones.
Summary:
Overall, there are still many changes in the iPhone 14 Pro, and these technologies are currently implemented on Android phones. It is not impossible for the iPhone 14 Pro to realize these functions, but this is just a rendering provided by foreign media The picture does not confirm whether the iPhone 14 Pro will actually be designed like this. If the iPhone 14 Pro can achieve the above functions, coupled with powerful hardware configuration, it will become a miracle machine.
Of course, many changes sound quite good. After all, it is still quite a long time before Apple’s autumn launch next year. There is still a lot of uncertainty about how true the parameter rumors are.
Finally, what Mingmei Wuxian would like to say is: It is said that iPhone 14 Pro Max will be the next model to adopt a major facelift in appearance, so if the iPhone in hand can still continue to serve, it can be used again Wait patiently for a year and don’t rush to buy iPhone 13 Pro Max. Of course, if you like to experience every iPhone, you are completely free to do so. Whether to buy iPhone 13 Pro Max now or wait patiently for iPhone 14 Pro Max depends on your actual needs.
In other words, the iPhone 13 series mobile phones are currently in the pre-sale stage, and it is still early for the release of the iPhone 14 series mobile phones. The revelations about the iPhone 14 series mobile phones are not necessarily accurate. It is better to wait for the iPhone 14 series to be popular. See if iPhone 13 or iPhone 12 meets your requirements.
