Judging from the breaking information of all parties, the iPhone14 will have major changes and upgrades this time. But Apple doesn't plan to equip it with off-screen FaceID and fingerprint unlock.
There is news that Samsung is developing a display panel for Apple that can implement faceID under the screen, but Apple is skeptical about the maturity of this technology. I prefer to use it on Samsung phones first, and then use it on iPhones after being more mature. So according to this schedule, the iPhone14 and iPhone 15 will not have access to FaceID under the screen. The iPhone14 will have four versions, namely the iPhone14, the iPhone14max, the iPhone14pro, and the iPhone14promax. Among them, the pro version will use a digging screen, and the other two versions will still have large bangs. It is expected that the iPhone 15 will be equipped with a cut-out screen throughout the series. If there is a faceID version under the screen, it will be implemented after the iPhone 16.
Regarding the chip, Apple originally planned to still let the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14max use the A15 chip. However, the news has made consumers angry, and recently there are relevant media that the Iphone14 and iPhone14max will use the A15 small-scale upgraded version of the chip, which will be named A15X. In short, no matter what the name is, the chip on the iPhone14 and iPhone14max is not much different from the A15 full-blood version on the iPhone 13promax. Apple is clearly interested in widening the price gap between products in the iPad and iPhone production lines.
The iPhone may never be able to use fingerprint unlocking.
Reliable sources say that Apple has disbanded the team that developed the fingerprint unlock under the screen, and transferred the team's resources to the FaceID team. Then it means that Apple has almost given up on developing fingerprint unlocks. But faceID can be unlocked under the screen with a mask has been able to meet almost all of people's needs, and whether there is fingerprint unlocking is not so important.
The iPhone14 series will increase the rear main camera from 12 million pixels to 48 million pixels. From the parameters point of view, this upgrade can be described as epic level. This also led to the iPhone14's rear camera module being very prominent and looking more exaggerated. But unfortunately, in order to control the cost or Apple is squeezing toothpaste, the iPhone14 may not have access to the periscope telephoto lens, but the iPhone15 will definitely use the periscope telephoto lens, after all, the Android flagship phone will or has surpassed the Apple phone in terms of image capabilities.
