Last Friday, Apple opened the pre-sale of the new iPhone SE, the new color iPhone 13 series and the iPad Air 5, have you bought your favorite product?
In addition to these apple spring new products, the most anticipated new product this year is undoubtedly the new iPhone 14 series.
According to the news that has previously been released from the outside world, Apple will abandon the mini model in the iPhone 14 series and use the iPhone 14 Max with a larger screen size as an alternative.
The iPhone 14 series will consist of four models: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Among them, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will use a punch screen design for the first time, and the top will be composed of a "pill" shaped cutout that houses the Face ID component and a circular cut to accommodate the camera.
Now it seems that this news is basically true, which means that for the first time since Apple launched the Pro model for the iPhone 11 series, it will distinguish between standard models and Pro models in appearance.
Recently, our old friend Guo Mingxi also sent the latest revelations about the iPhone 14 series again.
Guo Mingxi said on Twitter that the iPhone 14 series will be equipped with the new A16 chip, but the upgrade is only for pro models, and the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will continue to be equipped with A15 chips.
In addition, all iPhone 14 series models will carry 6GB of running memory.
The difference is that the Pro version uses the LPDDR 5 standard and the standard version uses the LPDDR 4X standard.
Among them, LPDDR 5 as a lower power consumption memory standard, will bring faster data transfer speeds.
Although the account has not yet been authenticated, the credibility of the message is still debatable, but combined with some previous outside news, the news is not empty.
In fact, as early as last December, some digital bloggers revealed that not all iPhone 14 models will upgrade their processors, and iPhone 14 will continue to use A15 chips.
After that, the blogger also conducted an in-depth analysis of the news.
Due to chip shortages and insufficient capacity, the A16 chip using the 4nm process is only one-third of the A15 in stock, which may be the main reason why Apple made this decision.
If this news is true, this will be the second time that Apple has used different models of chips for the new iPhone released in the same year, after the iPhone 5C.
In 2013, Apple released the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5C, of which the iPhone 5s is equipped with the latest A7 chip, and the iPhone 5C is equipped with the same A6 chip as the iPhone 5.
Although the iPhone 5C uses a very bold color scheme, the dismal sales also made it one of Apple's most failed iPhones, and then Apple completely abandoned the product line.
For users, the appearance of the new iPhone may be one of the focuses of attention.
For example, the new iPhone SE just released still uses the appearance of the previous generation, which has attracted many netizens to complain.
But the mobile phone is ultimately a tool, and the experience of daily use is the most important.
So even if the new iPhone SE has not changed in appearance, it is equipped with the latest A15 chip and supports 5G, and the price is as low as 3499 yuan.
With excellent price/performance alone, the new iPhone SE will also gain the favor of some practical parties.
But if only the appearance of the adjustment is made, but the performance is stagnant, presumably the user will not pay, iPhone 5C is the best example.
What's more, according to the news from the outside world before, iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will still follow the design of Liu Haiping and will not make major changes.
This kind of "new bottle of old wine" behavior may not be recognized by most users.
If the dust settles, if the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max are determined to be equipped with the A15 chip, it may attract more users to buy the iPhone 14 Pro model.
Would you buy an iPhone 14 with an A15 chip? Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments section.
