The machine brother first announced a "bad" news for everyone:
IPhone 13 Pro friends here, you are on the wrong car
Why?
Because this year's iPhone 14 Pro, it may probably really have to change the appearance...
Just a few days ago, foreign media exposed the CAD modeling diagram of the iPhone 14 Pro. Anyway, the first time the machine brother saw it, his eyes were directly locked on the front of this exclamation point.
The modeling diagram this time coincides with the previous revelations about the exclamation point front. This year's 14 Pro uses this design, and the probability is that it has not run.
Since cadograms are three-dimensional, you can also witness more details.
Look at this back shot, look at this bulge. At first glance, the machine brother almost thought it was 13 Pro CAD.
The brother also made a special comparison, can not say exactly the same, can only say that it is completely consistent.
The 14 Pro is designed like this, and so is the 14 Pro Max.
In this way, it is a bit untenable to say that the rendering of the 14 series is not raised after the shooting.
After all, unlike the renderings, CAD drawings are generally leaked from the factory floor, and the cost of "counterfeiting" is much higher.
Moreover, last year's 13 Pro related revelations, it is also the media exposed, to show you:
The time of their disclosure is: April 2021. 5 months before the 13 Pro really released.
So, this credibility, understand everything, right?
However, some friends may have to ask: Brother, you open your mouth and shut up are 14 Pro, 14 Pro, why not directly say 14 series?
Eh, congratulations on finding the blind spot —
Because of the appearance of 14, it does not change ah ~
14 Pro's CAD drawings were only exposed one day, and 14 CAD drawings came. Compared to the 13 series, there is no difference.
However, the iPhone 14 Pro has been changed to this way, and the friends here may not be too surprised.
Because as early as January this year, the famous display analyst revealed that this year's digital and Pro series design parted ways. Pro uses exclamation points, and the numbers still use bangs.
Ross Young: We now believe that Apple will use a digging+ pill design on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models. Holes are not invisible... These two holes are also unique to Apple's design, just like bangs, but not the same as Huawei's pill design... Let's take a look at the new rendering.
But analysts say that this is only this year, next year, that is, 2023, Apple will use exclamation points for the entire series.
Ross Young: The dual-digging design of the iPhone Pro series will be available on all 4 models in 2023. Hopefully the hole will get a little smaller...
Good guys, on this design even pay attention to a starter after the start.
To tell the truth, the machine brother would rather that its two holes are not separated, and directly open up and connect together, so that the good villains are not so contrary to the sense of harmony...
Cough, sorry, recently guangzhou temperature is too high, machine brother I accidentally caught fire, drink saliva first ——
Let's move on.
If it is in previous years, the machine brother will not be so big. Because even if the appearance remains the same, we can still buy a new A processor.
But this year is different, this year's digital series uses A15 processors, yes, this is not a clerical error. It's A, 1, 5.
What about the A16? Exclusive to 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.
Brother Ji This is not nonsense, it is said by the famous guo mingguo teacher.
Kuo: Only two Pro models have been upgraded to the A16 processor, while the 14 and 14 Max will remain on the A15.
Eight brother said: Then according to this, this year's 14 simply do not release, the appearance of the processor is unchanged, this and last year's difference?
Don't worry, next the machine brother to squeeze the apple professional knife method:
You know, the A15 on the iPhone 13 is actually a castrated version, and it and the full-blood version of the 13 Pro A15, missing a GPU core.
Moreover, the Pro series is still equipped with 6G memory, and the 13 is only 4G.
The A15 on the 14th of this year is the bloody version on the 13 Pro.
You said there was no upgrade... In terms of GPU performance, there is a 20% "improvement" in how to calculate. To say that there is an upgrade, this is obviously last year's chip...
This is good, for a while I don't know if this is Apple's intention.
At least, according to supply chain sources, the stock of this 4nm A16 processor is far less than the number of previous A15s, so there is no chance to use A16 for all iPhones.
The last time Apple did this, the new machine did not use the new chip operation, or in 2013 - iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c.
At that time, the 5c did not use the latest A7 processor, or used the 5 A6 processor. This is also one of the reasons why the sales of 5C hit the street that year.
（左：iPhone 5s | 右：iPhone 5c）
Apple may have learned the bitter lesson of that year, this time instead of copying and pasting directly, but ... Add points to run memory~
It is said that this time, the whole series is equipped with 6G running memory, and all are treated equally.
And this year's Pro series memory will use LPDDR5, while the digital series will use LPDDR4X.
It can be seen that Apple is actually balancing left and right, neither making digital users uncomfortable, nor making the previous generation of users red.) After all, this year is going to be a big adjustment of the category.
Or the breaking news from Teacher Guo. Teacher Guo said that this year there are only 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches of iPhones.
Guo Mingxi: According to Apple's naming rules, these four new 2H22 iPhones can be called: iPhone 14 (6.1 inches), iPhone 14 Max (6.7 inches), iPhone 14 Pro (6.1 inches) and iPhone 14 Pro Max (6.7 inches).
When everyone sees this, they should all understand it, right? The mini series is really going to be gone.
As a small screen party user's machine brother, I am actually very uncomfortable to see this news. But when you think about it, it makes sense.
After all, if it was before, we consumers want to buy a large-screen mobile phone, we have to go on the Pro's large screen, but this price is very discouraging...
What's wrong with just wanting a big screen...
Therefore, in fact, Apple has such an ordinary large-screen mobile phone, which can meet the needs of more people for large screens. And obviously, there are more people who like large screens than small screens.
Although small screen fans will be a little uncomfortable. But if the price of 14 sits at the original mini5199 yuan price, 14 Max seamlessly connects to the 5999 yuan price...
Where is it still uncomfortable, is this wave of direct killing good?
However, the above are all the imaginations of the machine brother, if there is a similarity, it is purely blind.
So the machine brother finally summarizes:
This year's Pro series will remove the bangs to change the exclamation point front, upgrade the processor to A16, and iteratively upgrade the camera.
The iPhone 14 digital series, the high probability is that the overall appearance remains unchanged, the launch of the 6.7-inch Max version, the full blood A15 processor and the upgrade to 6G running memory.
It not only accurately cuts into the needs of large-screen consumers, but also does it in terms of hardware, even if it is squeezed toothpaste, it is difficult to refuse.
I have to say that on the knife method, it must be apples...
