Apple’s Worldwide Developer's Conference (WWDC) is just a few days away, and the company is expected to announce all its new software at the event. In the WWDC conference which is to be held on 6-June-2022 will set the tone for how we are going to be using the Apple devices going forward and with the iPhone 14 series coming in September, it’s all the more exciting. Thanks to Front Page Tech, we’ve also seen renders of the iPhone 14 Pro.
The date of the release, which is yet to be announced, is going to bring us the iPhone 14 series which is going to comprise four devices -
The iPhone 14,
The iPhone 14 Max,
The iPhone 14 Pro,
and The iPhone 14 Pro Max.
As the lineup indicates, there will be no mini-iPhone this year, with Apple deciding to drop it to keep the focus on the iPhone SE devices. Instead of the iPhone 14 mini, Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 14 Max.
The iPhone 14 Max is expected to have the same screen size as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but without the top specs. This is good news for buyers who are interested in the vanilla iPhone models but with wide screen. According to the sources, Apple is going to sell the iPhone 14 Max for $899, which is $200 less than the iPhone 14 Pro.
Improved Cameras
Rumor has it that Apple is going to improve the selfie camera on the iPhone 14 series, and is reportedly in talks with LG for a better camera with autofocus support. Instead of sourcing the front camera from Chinese component suppliers, Apple, according to reports, is planning to source it from South Korean component makers this time. Reports also suggest that the front camera on the iPhone 14 will cost three times more than the previous model.
Large Back camera
Apple is expected to bring in a 48MP sensor on the iPhone 14 series. This is a massive jump from the 12MP camera we have on the iPhone 13 series. This also means a bigger camera bump on the new smartphones.
The A16 Bionic?
Besides the notch, there’s one other thing we might see Apple repeat on the iPhone 14’s vanilla models - the A15 Bionic. According to reports, the company might reuse the A15 Bionic for the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Max, the same chip that powers the current iPhone 13 lineup, while the new A16 Bionic will power the Pro models.
An always-on display, and no notch,
Apple is going to add the always-on display on the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max models. This feature is expected to be announced as a part of iOS 16 at WWDC. For the always-on display on the iPhone, Apple will have to use the L PTO (low-resolution poly crystalline oxide) display - the same one it uses on the newer Apple Watch models. This display tech helps conserve energy and supports variable refresh rates. The iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max are expected to come with a pill-shaped cutout that will house the front camera and the Face ID sensors. The vanilla iPhone 14 models are still going to have the notch, though.
So I hope this article will be exciting for the iPhone users who have waited for the update on the iPhone 14 series.
