According to existing leaks, we can know that the iPhone 14 includes four models, namely the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, and the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max. This is an upgrade focused on the Pro series. The appearance, configuration, etc. are all major changes to the Pro version, while the standard version is just a regular upgrade. Now, there is new news about the iPhone 14 series, and this time it’s about functionality. Next, let me give you a brief introduction to 2 new features that may be added to the iPhone 14 series.
The first new feature is autofocus, which is a function for the front lens. According to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the front camera of the iPhone 14 series will be upgraded to AF autofocus, and the supplier of the front camera was exposed. Key hardware upgrades also include the addition of VCM and an upgrade to a 6P lens (the current iPhone 13 series is 5P). Among the suppliers, Ming-Chi Kuo said that the winners of the iPhone 14’s front-facing lens upgrade to AF are Yujingguang and Gaowei Electronics. Simply put, the front camera of the iPhone 14 series will receive a major upgrade, and the addition of autofocus will significantly improve selfie and video recording capabilities.
The second feature is the long-awaited feature - screen display. As we all know, Apple recently released the new iOS 16 system, and this new system actually already has the screen-off display function, but Apple has restricted the use of existing iPhones. Recently, some netizens said that after upgrading their iPhone to the iOS 16 beta version, when charging the device overnight and picking it up in the morning, the AOD screen display was suspected to be triggered, and it has reappeared several times. At the same time, other users posted related videos. It is unclear whether it is caused by a bug, but after testing, the success rate is very low.
combined with previous iOS 16 code leaks, mentioned the screen-flat display function, which basically proves that iOS 16 has indeed added screen-nap display. So here’s the problem. The iPhone 12 series and iPhone 13 series both use OLED screens. There are also two models that support ProMotion: iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. So why can’t these models use the always-on screen display normally after upgrading to iOS 16 beta? At present, it seems that there is only one answer, that is, Apple will make it an exclusive feature of the iPhone 14 Pro series. Note that it is Pro. The standard version of iPhone 14 does not have adaptive high refresh, so it will most likely not support it.
Apple’s purpose of doing this is also obvious. It is to widen the gap between the Pro and the standard version and attract more users to choose the higher-priced Pro version. But as a consumer, I still feel that Apple is too unkind. If it does not use it on older models because the hardware does not support it, it is understandable, but the screen-off display is obviously not a complex function. If it is based on battery life considerations, then you can set a switch for this function and leave the choice to the user. Moreover, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max support ProMotion and add an interest-screen display, so the impact should not be big.
Generally speaking, the difference between this year’s iPhone 14 standard version and iPhone 14 Pro version will be more obvious than in previous years. I don’t know if this generation’s best-selling models will change as a result. So, have you successfully triggered the rest screen display function?
