In March, Apple held a spring conference, bringing rich ecological products at the same time released a new iPhone SE, its appearance and the previous generation basically no change, the main upgrade point in 5G, many people have sighed: "The appearance of Apple's mobile phone is really a use of several years", many people are also worried about the second half of this year's iPhone 14 series is not changed? In fact, as early as last year, some analysts revealed that the iPhone 14 will usher in a change in appearance, mainly to cancel the bangs screen and use the digging screen, but there has been no more accurate rendering.
Recently, MySmartPrice obtained a CAD drawing known as the iPhone 14 series through industry insiders, which is also a rendering drawing with clear details in all aspects. The standard version of the iPhone 14 and the current iPhone 13 basically no change, is still a right angle bezel, small bangs, no obvious difference in size or design, the opening layout is exactly the same, but the difference with the previous generation is the rear lens, its bulge is more serious, it seems to imply that the iPhone 14 will bring an upgrade in photography. In addition, MySmartPrice notes that there appears to be a thicker glass frame around the shell.
Some time ago, foreign media 91mobiles also released the factory CAD rendering of the iPhone 14 Pro, which is very different from the iPhone 14, and it can be clearly seen that the previous part of the phone's bangs screen has been changed to a "pill + punch" design, and the Face ID projector and infrared camera are also among them.
On the back and side of the phone, the iPhone 14 Pro is basically the same as the previous generation. The top bezel is the speaker grille, the power button is on the right, the volume key, SIM card tray section, and change slide are on the left, or the Lightning connector, no Type-C. The camera is still as convex as ever, not the graphic design that was previously rumored.
Previously, Tianfeng International analyst Guo Mingxi predicted that four new iPhones in the fall of 2022 or named: iPhone 14 (6.1 inches), iPhone 14 Max (6.7 inches), iPhone 14 Pro (6.1 inches), iPhone 14 Pro Max (6.7 inches), all equipped with 6GB of memory, high and low versions of the processor are very different, no longer the entire series of A16 processors (5nm++ process, performance increased by 16%), Instead, the A16 will be used on the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and equipped with LPDDR5, while the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max or still equipped with A15, using LPDDR4X.
Some people speculate that the iPhone 14 series did not use a new processor may be to lower the starting price (this time it did not lock the core at all, directly castrated). At present, the iPhone 14 has entered the OEM trial production stage, and Luxun has obtained some orders for the iPhone 14, while the bulk of the order and the high-end version are still taken down by Hon Hai.
In terms of screen, it is reported that LG Display will provide LTPO OLED panels for high-end models of the iPhone 14 series, supporting a 120Hz refresh rate, and this emerging backplane technology can save more than 15% of the power consumption of OLED panels at the same brightness. And the standard version of the screen resolution will be the same as the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max, while the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max screen resolution is not yet known, but the overall will be longer to adapt to the new digging design. In addition, the iPhone 14 Pro series is also expected to bring camera improvements, will be equipped with a 48 million pixel main camera sensor, will also support 8K video recording, through pixel merging technology to solve the problem of less light intake.
Previously, the blogger i ice universe emphasized that Apple's confidence in using circular openings + pill openings reached 98%, so the credibility of CAD renderings is still relatively high, as for when Apple can use the upper and lower screen technology, according to the revelations in Ross Young, the fastest will not be seen until 2023 or 2024.
