Apple always take time to implement new technologies in its iPhones. Features that are readily available in Android smartphones like multi-lenses setup, 120Hz refresh rate, fast charging, etc. are yet to become the common features on world’s most aspirational smartphone brand, Apple. The recent speculation suggests that Apple 14 series may bring the AOD (Always On Display) with it. This is the one of the common features found in the flagship and premium Android smartphones. It conveniently shows time and date.
The speculation comes ahead of the planned Apple developers meet on June 6. The meet like the annual Google’s I/O event will showcase the future roadmap of Apple and its related ecosystem. The Apple’s Worldwide Developers Council (WWDC) 2022 may shed some light on iOS 16 and other value added features to the entire ecosystem.
Apple’s always-on-display may not be available to all the phones in the iPhone 14 series, but it is being guessed that it would be exclusive to the Pro and Max models only. Apart from this new feature, Apple 14 could see some other changes as well. The prominent among the expected changes include the killing of the mini model of iPhones and using the punch hole display in the 2022 iPhone series.
Apple iPhone 14 series will come with iOS 16 as the part of natural growth trajectory because iPhone 13 series already runs on iOS 15 at various levels. The new series may also bring the new A16 Bionic chipset, with further performance improvements at the cores compared to the current architecture.
Meanwhile, Apple has been a miser in the adoption of the new technologies. The above-mentioned advancements are the need of the hour, yet Apple thinks differently. Apple users around the world expect it to add more power to its batteries and change the lens's configuration.
Despite the fears of a global recession, analysts believe Apple will go ahead with some big upgrades in the iPhone lineup this year. Though the series is expected to look like the one last year, it could feature a new camera system, a hole-punch screen as well as a brand new ‘Max’ model. Apple’s most important product continues to be the iPhone, accounting for half of 2021’s overall sales. Here’s a curation of five possible new features in the iPhone series, subject to the usual disclaimers surrounding any news from Cupertino.
The iPhone 14 Max will replace the ‘mini’ model
To start with, it’s being said that the “mini” variant in the iPhone lineup will get replaced by a new “Max” model. Apple’s decision is likely due to a lack of takers for the compact smartphone. According to US iPhone sales data for the March quarter that was shared by Consumer Research Intelligence Partners (CR IP), the iPhone 13 mini had just 3 per cent of sales of all the iPhone 13 models. Considering that the 2020s iPhone 12 mini was also an unpopular model, the move seems to make commercial sense.
And if the iPhone 14 Max does indeed replace the iPhone 13 mini, it is going to be the same size as the 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro. This brings in good news for those who always wanted a large-screen sized iPhone but could not afford the “Pro” model due to financial constraints. Bloomberg’s Mark German predicts Apple will sell the iPhone 14 Max at $899, $200 less than the iPhone 14 Pro. It will be however be $200 more than the iPhone mini and much more profitable for Apple even if it sells a bit more than the model it is replacing.
