. With rumors starting to heat up, there are some features that are pretty
much confirmed on these new phones. Read on as we roundup four of them that
we expect to see on the iPhone 14.
No more mini version
Its been awhile since weve heard that iPhone mini sales disappoint Apple.
Now, 9to5Mac sources recently confirmed that we wont see another of these
phones with the 14 series.
According to our sources, the new iPhone 14 (codenamed D27 and D28) will be
available in 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch versions, while the Pro models (codenamed
D73 and D74) may be slightly taller to accommodate the new hole-punch + pill
design.
So, if youre looking for a smaller phone, youll have to go with the new
iPhone SE 3 and its iconic design.
Different design between regular and pro models
The iPhone 14 Pro will have a new hole-punch + pill design. This will be the
first time Apple moves from the iPhone X look to a new approach. That said,
this new design will be exclusive to the Pro models, since the regular
versions will likely remain with the same notch of the iPhone 13, which is
30% smaller than the one found on the iPhone 12.
Analyst Ross Young also corroborates with this report by saying all the
models will feature the same design again on 2023. Until then, if you want
the newest design, youll have to go with the Pro models.
A15 Bionic for iPhone 14, A16 Bionic to iPhone 14 Pro
9to5Mac independent sources and analyst Ming-Chi Kuo say Apple might break
from tradition this year by releasing some iPhone 14 models with the same
A15 chip as the iPhone 13.
The A15 chip would power the 6.1-inch iPhone 14 and 6.7-inch 14 Max,
although the RAM would be upgraded to 6 GB from 4 GB. The new A16 SoC would
be reserved for the higher-end, and more expensive, 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max
models.
As of now, its unclear whether Apple will rebrand the A15 chip for the
regular 14 phones such as A15X or instead use the more powerful version
found on the iPhone 13 Pro.
48MP main sensor for the iPhone 14 Pro
Another important feature coming to the iPhone 14 Pro is a 48MP Wide sensor.
First suggested by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Bloombergs Mark Gurman was the
latest to report on this new feature.
While a 48MP could unlock new functionalities, its likely that Apple will
keep shooting photos in 12MP. The regular iPhone 14 models will stick with
a 12MP sensor in all lenses.
Wrap up
There are more rumors about this upcoming phone. For example, Apple could
likely add satellite communication for the 2022 iPhone. This was first
rumored for the 13 model, but ended up not making the cut. Apart from that,
all of the features above will likely be part of the iPhone 14.
