Although the genuine Apple mobile phone is released in the autumn every year, the design and hardware configuration have been basically determined in the first quarter.
It is also for this reason that at the beginning of each year, there will be a large number of new iPhone breaking news. Recently, the well-known technology media MacRumors quoted supply chain news and announced the important hardware of the iPhone 14Pro.
It is reported that the iPhone 14Pro will have 8GB of built-in running memory, which is the iPhone's largest storage specification to date.
It is worth mentioning that Apple did not attach great importance to upgrading storage before, although the iPhone 13 series was upgraded, only some models upgraded 4GB to 6GB, and the degree of squeezing toothpaste can be seen.
In fact, the reason why Apple is not in a hurry to upgrade the storage is not extinguished for a reason. Apple's mobile phone shipments are more than 100 million units per year, and memory upgrades mean that the total cost of Apple's mobile phones will increase by billions or even tens of billions.
Moreover, Apple's mobile phone upgrades the storage configuration, which has little impact on the user experience. The advantage of Dayun Storage is to create more space for running software and systems, so as to avoid software being "killed" because of lack of space.
But Apple mobile phone is running the iOS system, its operating mechanism is different from Android, in theory, Apple's mobile phone storage is always only for the running software services, background applications do not take up space. At present, the vast majority of software volume is below 2GB, and Apple's storage expansion is not expanded, which is enough.
Of course, it is undeniable that the large-scale storage configuration can indeed improve the mobile phone experience and dig deep into the processor performance. It is for this reason that many fans are looking forward to the performance of the iPhone 14Pro.
By convention, the iPhone 14Pro's processor will be named A16, and the CPU, GPU architecture, and process technology will be upgraded. In terms of data processing power alone, the A16 will not have any opponents on the mobile SoC track. After all, the A series of chips has always been ahead of Qualcomm and MediaTek chips across generations.
The iPhone 14Pro not only has updated hardware, but the appearance has also changed a lot. The front of the machine is a 6.1-inch ultra-clear retina display, the degree of screen delicacy is not much different from the 2K screen, the screen border will be further narrowed, and the screen ratio is further improved compared with the iPhone 13Pro.
The iPhone14Pro will abandon the small bangs and use the screen digging solution instead. And it is to dig two holes, one to place the front lens, and the other to place the 3D structured light module. This design will make the mobile phone more recognizable.
In fact, many consumers believe that Apple will cancel face recognition and embrace fingerprint recognition. After all, fingerprint recognition technology is mature enough, unlocking efficiency and security is not lower than face recognition. Moreover, at present, the epidemic is still raging around the world, and traveling with masks will become normalized, and face recognition is not convenient.
In this regard, the solution given by Apple is to continue to optimize face recognition technology. Unlock by face recognition or watch verification. Through Apple's several technology upgrades, it can be clearly felt that Apple does not intend to abandon the face recognition program.
In addition, according to the rendering, the rear lens module of the iPhone14Pro will also make people shine. Apple's choice of scheme is highly similar to the Samsung S22Ultra, which makes the lens stand out independently and the phone looks clean and tidy.
Of course, as always, the iPhone 14Pro will also have obvious shortcomings. The charging speed and richness of the camera function are not as brilliant as the Android flagship.
But overall, the author believes that the iPhone 14Pro is still a high-end flagship with strong competitiveness. If it kept the price of the iPhone 13Pro unchanged, would you consider buying it?
