Once Apple's spring conference has passed, the next step of the mobile phone product blockbuster will wait until the autumn conference in September, when the iPhone 14 series will be officially unveiled.
According to the convention, Apple's stocking cycle will start production a long time in advance, and according to the latest news from Apple's brother Guo Mingji, this year's iPhone 14 series will adopt an unprecedented two-core strategy.

Among them, the two models of the iPhone 14 standard version will maintain the current IPhone 13 A15 chip, while the iPhone 14 Pro will be upgraded to the A16 chip.
In this regard, digital blogger @mobile phone chip master said that Apple has stocked the iPhone 14 series for chips, ready to produce 50 million A16 chips and 50 million A15 chips, a total of 100 million.
In fact, in December last year, @mobile phone chip master revealed that not all iPhone 14 series models will be upgraded to A16 processor, and iPhone 14 will continue to use the A15 chip of iPhone 13.
He also said that the 4nmA16 chip in 2022 is only one-third of the 2021 A15 processor, indicating that only one iPhone 14 will use the A16 processor. Among them, the A16 processor has the Apple internal code name Crete, and the A15 processor code name is Ellis.
In addition, due to the adoption of a completely different product strategy, this year's iPhone will also change in the naming, the Pro version is named iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and the non-Pro version is named iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max.
The iPhone 14 mini will disappear completely, replaced by a larger version of the iPhone 14 Max, which should be the same size as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but in terms of configuration, it is exactly the same as the iPhone 14 Standard Edition, which is also the first time Apple has launched a low-cost version of the large-screen phone.
