The revelations of the iPhone series have always been the top stream in the technology media circle, due to the large number of people concerned, so bloggers are willing to dig up some clues to help the melon eating masses peek into what the next year's iPhone has in advance. With the release of the iPhone 13 series, the revelations of the 14 series will naturally be put on the agenda. Recently, mark Gurman, a well-known whistleblower, released new news, saying that the iPhone 14 series is finally going to take away the bangs of 10,000 years and increase the proportion of screens, but there is no need to be too excited to hear here, because this bang has not been completely eliminated.
According to Gurman, the new iPhone 14 will use a hole screen solution, similar to most current Android phones, but the difference is that Apple's hole uses a pill-shaped design and is still centered, so it will look a little self-indulgent.
Of course, such a small opening seems to be unable to put down the face recognition module, and Gurman said that Apple will hide it from sight. Combined with the previous revelations, Apple's approach is most likely to use the newly developed under-screen recognition module, that is, the dot matrix projector and infrared camera of the 3D structured light core are hidden under the screen, using the OLED without backlight characteristics, using other manufacturers to do off-screen cameras to hide the face recognition module.
As for why this technology is not used to completely eliminate bangs, the author believes that the reason is still due to the quality of imaging. If you have used the current off-screen camera products, it is not difficult to find that its shooting effect is still different from the ordinary front camera, and this gap will continue to shrink in the future, but at present, Apple, which is accustomed to playing the safe card, will not risk using this technology.
According to the information collected by the author, the design of the iPhone 14 may be quite radical. In the past, the camera bulge has always been a design that makes consumers dissatisfied and helpless, and the camera module of almost all mobile phones is much higher than the back cover of the mobile phone. As can be seen from the rendering, Apple this time swung a big knife and flattened all the bulging cameras. The whistleblower of the news @jon_prosser explained that this was due to Apple's use of a thicker protective glass on the back panel, covering the height of the camera.
However, it is worth noting that the thickness of the current iPhone body containing a camera has exceeded 1cm, if the back plate is forcibly thickened, with the right angle frame, it will be a "devastating blow" to the user's feel; At the same time, the thicker glass backplane will naturally increase the thickness significantly, unless Apple is really determined to make a mobile phone with a large capacity battery, otherwise this scheme is less likely.
In addition, the material of the fuselage on the iPhone 14 has also been upgraded, in addition to the previous common aluminum alloy, stainless steel, Apple has actually been studying the application of titanium. News about the titanium body of the iPhone is seen almost every year, and this material has a higher strength than stainless steel, while also having a lower density, which can create a lighter body. For the current half-pound mobile phone, the excellent performance of titanium alloy is the best.
Of course, titanium alloy super high processing difficulty has been difficult to solve the problem, it will not only lead to an increase in the cost of the fuselage, but also affect the large-scale mass production of the machine, which is also the reason why titanium alloy can only exist in the rumors of mobile phones in the past, iPhone 14 If this material is used, the weight and texture of the mobile phone will be a major change.
In addition, the new version of the iPhone SE also has news, the whistleblower said that this time the SE will finally use the 5G network, for users who want to try the iPhone ecology may be a good choice.
