The iPhone 13 series released in 2021, although the sales performance is eye-catching, but the product strength is average. Whether it is design or hardware, there is a lot of room for improvement. It is also for this reason that many users are full of expectations for the iterative iPhone 14 series.
On January 13, the well-known research institute TrendForce exposed many details of the iPhone 14Pro.
It is reported that compared with the iPhone13 series, the iPhone14Pro appearance design will have obvious changes, the bangs that have been complained about by users for many years will disappear, replaced by a capsule digging design, and the hole is placed in the 3D structured light sensor and the front lens.
Although the Apple phone has a larger aperture than the Android machine, the bezels are narrower, so in terms of screen ratio, the digging iPhone does not necessarily lose to the Android flagship with the digging design.
In fact, the screen is not the only highlight of the iPhone 14Pro. In fact, the most exciting thing for the author is the news that Apple has upgraded its imaging system.
Apple's mobile phone has a strong dominance in the field of mobile phone video, which is the fundamental reason why many consumers will buy iPhones. However, the camera performance of Apple's mobile phone cannot be called top-notch.
Limited by the quality of components, even if Apple's camera algorithm is strong, the zoom ability and night shooting ability of the iPhone cannot be compared with the Android flagship with a large outsole sensor and a professional telephoto lens.
The good news is that the iPhone 14Pro will make changes in this regard. TrendForce said that the iPhone 14Pro will be equipped with a 48-megapixel camera, and after the upgrade, Apple will not only be able to shoot higher resolution and higher frame rate video, but also the photo detail will also increase by one level.
With the help of the new lens, the iPhone 14Pro is expected to become the strongest imaging phone on the market.
It is worth mentioning that Apple's large pixel lens is a wide-angle lens, and the iPhone 14Pro will not be equipped with a telephoto module, which means that the iPhone 14Pro lens module will not be too thick, and the weight and grip of the phone will not change much compared to the iPhone 13Pro.
In fact, the iPhone 14Pro also has regrettable points, such as the processor. According to the convention, the iPhone14Pro processor will be named A16 and will be built using TSMC's new generation of process technology.
However, combined with the latest news, TSMC 3nm process mass production time in the second half of this year, and the iPhone 14Pro will be released in September, TSMC may not be able to meet Apple's chip procurement needs, if so, Apple A16 processor will use 4nm process to build, performance upgrade service will not be too big.
Of course, the performance upgrade is relatively large. In fact, even if the performance of the A16 processor does not improve and maintains the level of the A15 chip, the iPhone 14Pro, which is based on the A16 processor, can also shake off the Android flagship in terms of performance. From this perspective, it can be seen that the shortcomings of the Apple A16 cannot be called shortcomings.
All in all, Apple's iPhone 14Pro features and design have been greatly upgraded, as long as there is no big problem, it will inevitably become a hit. For this phone, would you choose to buy it?
