The beauty of the | is infinite
It's August, and we're still more than a month away from the release of the iPhone 14.
Since the beginning of a few years ago, there have been news about the iPhone 14 on the Internet, and now there is no suspense in the configuration of the new machine, and we all know it almost.
The only suspense is the color of the new iPhone 14, which is not, the news will follow.
First of all, Apple or will hold a new product conference in mid-September this year, and the most anticipated iPhone 14 series will appear in this conference.
Recently, the price of the new machine has been exposed, and the starting price may be consistent with the previous generation at 5999 yuan, and the iPhone 14 Pro may be 7999 yuan. Available in 128GB capacity. If it is a consumer with a limited budget, Apple actually provides iPhone SE 3, official flip machine and other options, in addition, according to the convention, after the release of the iPhone 14 series, the iPhone 13 will also reduce the price of about 100 US dollars to continue to clear inventory, selling for at least a year.
It is worth mentioning that the iPhone 14 series will also have a new model iPhone 14 Max released, the hardware configuration is consistent with the basic version of the iPhone 14, the screen is larger, and the starting price is expected to not exceed the high-end model of the Pro suffix. In addition to the iPhone 14 series, the iOS 16 mobile phone operating system will also appear in this conference.
In this regard, some netizens said that love does not rise, and I do not buy; Some netizens also said, "Suddenly there is a feeling of saving $100." Some netizens said that the battery and signal problems were solved first, and then a new model was released!
In addition, for today's iPhone, with the sneaker circle, played the trick of frying colors, such as the iPhone 13 Pro's far peak blue, when it was first launched, it was even fried by scalpers to twice the other colors, Apple also seems to have tasted the sweetness, and this year's iPhone 14 also has to make a big deal of color matching.
This does not mean that the iPhone 14 will adjust the color scheme to add purple, the existing color scheme is green, purple, blue, black, white, and red, while the iPhone 14 Pro series is green, purple, silver, gold, and graphite.
In terms of configuration, Apple's iPhone has two often complained about compared to Android, one is the signal, and the other is fast charging.
For the signal, everyone can still endure, but the fast charge has not really been said until now. According to the latest news, the charging performance of the iPhone will usher in a turnaround. Overseas blogger Jioriki revealed that the iPhone 14 may use a 30W fast charging solution, but this will only be achieved at the beginning of charging, and then it will stabilize at 25 ~27W.
Although 30W fast charging in Android here is not enough to see, after all, Android has 200W flash charge, but the iPhone's 30W can be said to be "groundbreaking", if the iPhone 14 is increased to 30W charging speed may be able to do about 40 minutes full.
In addition, today Mingmei Infinity should also mention in passing that everyone should have heard that this year's iPhone 14 series will cancel the 5.4-inch mini model and replace it with a larger 6.7-inch Max (or Plus) model.
This means that the mini model of the iPhone is only 2 generations away, and it has been ruthlessly cut.
Many users are shouting that they want to "small screen flagship", why did Apple cut off the mini model? Judging from the previous quarterly reports of CRIP, the mini model has not been popular with users.
Two months after the release of the iPhone 12 series, sales of the iPhone 12 mini accounted for only 6% of the total; The iPhone 13 mini released last year was even worse, accounting for only 3% of total sales...
So the user's mouth, the deceitful ghost. The last zhuhai small factory that listened to user suggestions to make mobile phones has been acquired ...
In addition, Tianfeng International analyst Guo Mingqi posted that according to his latest survey, Apple's largest supplier Foxconn's iPhone production base in India may ship the new 6.1-inch iPhone14 at the same time with China for the first time in the second half of 2022 (2H22). Previously, India typically shipped a quarter later than China.
Guo Mingxi said that in the short term, India's iPhone production capacity and shipments will still have a large gap with China, but this move to build an iPhone production base in non-Chinese regions is an important milestone for Apple.
It is understood that Foxconn has recently begun to recruit talents in India, or will start production in the next few months. Earlier this year, Apple began producing the iPhone 13 in India, a move widely believed to be aimed at diversifying its supply chain.
Moreover, if you want to buy the iPhone 14, you have to do a good job of screen lottery, this year's Apple is still mixed use.
According to the latest foreign media reports, LG, the panel supplier of the iPhone, shows that it will continue to supply OLED panels for the iPhone 14 series this year, but they will only supply two of them, namely the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Samsung, apple's largest OLED panel supplier to date, will supply OLED panels for the entire iPhone 14 series this year, and their supply will be larger.
In addition to Samsung display and LG display, foreign media said that BOE, which was previously discovered by Apple because of the OLED panel design that was changed to the supply of iPhone 13, will still supply part of the OLED panel for the iPhone 14 series, for the standard version of the iPhone 14, but the amount will not be very much.
Supply chain news shows that Apple's iPhone 14 series smartphones need 90 million OLED panels this year, Samsung Display will supply 60 million of them, LG Display will supply 25 million pieces, and BOE will supply the remaining 5 million pieces.
According to supply chain sources, Apple has been cautious about BOE's screen supply for new iPhone machines, not knowing when the company will be able to get out of its marginalized position.
If you want to get rid of the screen lottery situation, then you can only give priority to the mid-to-high-end model.
In addition, according to the previous news, Apple intends to open the configuration gap between 14 and Pro to obtain higher profits. That is to say, the two models of the iPhone 14 series use the A15, and the two models of the iPhone 14 Pro use the A16.
The new news shows that although the iPhone 14 still uses the A15, it is still a significant improvement over the A15 on the iPhone 13 series, which may be due to the new baseband and new interior design, as well as other changes.
It could be that the memory is larger, upgrading to 6GB, or running the memory upgrade to LPDDR 5X with faster memory frequency and performance, and so on.
I think according to Apple's past operations, it may be changed to a name, such as a name like A15Z or A15X, and then show what improvements there are compared to A15.
As for why to open the configuration, Apple is on the one hand to alleviate the shortage of global chips caused by the shortage of supplies, on the other hand, it is likely to clear inventory.
However, the performance of the reasonable A15 is still completely sufficient, which you don't have to worry too much about. As for the A16, from the exposure of the running score, the GPU is 35% higher than the A15, and the CPU performance is 42% higher, which is quite a big gap.
There is also news that the high-end version of the iPhone 14 series is expected to replace the ancestral 12 million pixel main camera, and then replace it with the tall 48 million pixel main camera and support 8K video recording.
There is a significant upgrade to the 13 Pro Series' 12MP camera and 4K video recording capabilities. In addition, the super-large bottom of the main camera 1/1.28 is not a 4 Bayer array, but a 48-megapixel Bayer array.
Then there was news that the iPhone 14 or the entire series will be equipped with 6G memory. In the iPhone 13 series, the 13 and 13 mini are equipped with 4GB of RAM, the 13 Pro is 6GB, and the iPhone 14 series is expected to provide 6GB of RAM across the line.
Finally, it is estimated that the iPhone 14 series still has no access to the Type-C interface, but continues to retain the standard of the lighting interface, and it is expected that Apple will switch to the Type-C interface in the iPhone 15 model.
Finally, Mingmei Infinity also wants to say: In fact, whether it is the previous news or the current news, the cheapest iPhone 14 has not increased in price, or 799 US dollars, and the starting price of the National Bank of China should still be 5999 yuan. Although the appearance has not changed, and the configuration upgrade is quite limited, the iPhone 14 is still a good competitiveness.
No matter how you look at it, Apple earns. The A15 has been produced for a year, using the previous generation process, and the cost is already very low. The appearance of the iPhone 14 mold with the iPhone 13, the chip with the old model, nothing more than 2GB of memory, but also not the iPhone 14 Pro's LPDDR5 memory, is still the old LPDDR4X memory.
Compared with the iPhone 13, the production cost of the iPhone 14 not only did not rise, it is estimated that it has dropped a lot, while the price remains unchanged, and Apple is "tearfully earning money."
Full blood version of A15 + 6GB memory, the price remains unchanged or 5999 yuan, do you think that without A16 iPhone 14, can continue the "thirteen spices"?
By the way, Apple AirPods Pro is a very classic noise-canceling true wireless headphones owned by Apple, although this headset has been released for a while, but the actual performance of this headset is still very strong today. Moreover, Apple AirPods Pro has also recently had a lot of offers, and the Apple AirPods Pro on the Jingdong Mall is only 908 yuan, compared with the official 1999 yuan, down 1011 yuan, and now it is worth buying.
So do you choose the iPhone 14 Basic Edition, or do you just start with an iPhone 14 Pro series? Will the newly added purple be selected on the color matching? You may wish to leave a message in the comment area for Mingmei unlimited participation in the discussion!
