March 28 news, although there are still half a year before the Apple autumn conference in September, but recently there have been a lot of breaking news about the iPhone 14 series on the Internet. Let's take a look at what will change with the new iPhone this year.
It is impossible under the screen, and the bangs coexist with the digging hole
It is reported that this year's new iPhone will be composed of four models: iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
In terms of appearance, the face ID technology under the screen that everyone cares about will still not appear on the iPhone 14 series. This year, Apple will use two screens, "Bangs Screen" + "Exclamation Point Screen", of which the lower positioning of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will continue to use the "Bangs Screen" design. Both models will come with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch OLED screens, but the refresh rate will still be 60Hz.
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, two high-end models, will use a punching screen to replace the original bangs screen, and the punching position adopts a "hole + pill" design, similar to an exclamation point. This news was also affirmed by Bloomberg and well-known Apple analyst Ming-Chi Guo.
In terms of screen parameters, the iPhone 14 Pro/14 Pro Max uses 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch OLED screens, respectively, with a 120Hz refresh rate and support for second-generation LTPO technology.
The A15 chip squeezes the toothpaste and transforms into the A16 series
Recently, foreign media exposed the core configuration information of the iPhone 14 series. Like the screen, there is also a "high and low matching" in the chip. Among them, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will be equipped with A16 chips, while the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be equipped with a more powerful A16 Pro.
However, according to people familiar with the matter, the A16 chip is basically a shell version of A15, which has not changed in terms of process process and core quantity, but has slightly increased the frequency.
The A16 Pro chip will use TSMC's 4nm process, which is theoretically improved compared to the A15's 5nm process, but the improvement brought by this process process alone is limited, and the "A16 Pro" model is more of a marketing consideration.
In addition to the chip name upgrade, Apple also plans to upgrade the running memory of the iPhone 14 series to 8GB. In other words, 6GB of running memory Apple has also been using for 5 years, and it is time to upgrade it.
The image is greatly upgraded, and the 12 million pixels say goodbye
A few days ago, the industrial design drawings of the iPhone 14 series were also exposed, from the exposure drawings, the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max have different degrees of changes in the camera module part, simply put, it is larger and more convex.
Well-known Apple analyst Guo Mingxi said that the main reason for the larger and more convex camera module is that Apple upgraded the rear camera to 48MP. He believes that the two Pro models of this year's iPhone 14 series will take mobile photography to a new level.
The above is the recent summary of the news about the iPhone 14 series, personally simple, although this year's iPhone 14 series has a certain degree of upgrade in terms of screen shape, performance, and imagery, these are more than small upgrades. I don't know how the small partner in front of the screen looks at it, do you have the desire to upgrade?
