The design of the iPhone 14 series devices has not changed much compared to the previous model, but the thickness of the camera bezel behind the new device will increase slightly
Before Apple launched the latest version of the smartphone, there were already a lot of rumors and leaks about the specifications of the new device, and as the "iPhone 14" conference date approached on September 7, there was more and more news about the features and advantages of this new model, including reliable sources of information, as well as unreliable sources of information. In this report, we will summarize the important information that has been leaked so far and what we know about the "iPhone 14" model so far.
What versions of the iPhone 14 are included?
New models that Apple will release include the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
It should be pointed out that due to sluggish sales, Apple will cancel the iPhone mini version of the 5.6-inch screen, and the iPhone 13 mini will also be the last generation model to have this screen.
What are the changes to the design of the iPhone 14?
The design of the iPhone 14 does not change much compared to the previous generation model, but the thickness of the camera bezel on the back of the device will increase slightly, and the bezels of the device will become very flat after changing the switch of the microphone and volume settings, of which the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max models will use an aluminum metal frame, while the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models will use a titanium frame to increase their durability.
In terms of color, the new models will have a variety of colors to choose from, and it is reported that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max models will be available in white, black, red, blue, green and purple versions.
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models will be available in gold, silver, purple, green and graphite versions.
Leaked news indicates that Apple intends to change the "bangs" shape at the top of the iPhone screen, but this is limited to the two models of the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max - its design will change from the common "bangs" shape in the previous version to the "center digging hole" type, in which one is round and the other is in the pill type, which is also to adapt to Apple's changes in the hardware design of screen facial recognition technology.
What are the specifications of the iPhone 14?
Processor with screen
The information leaked so far shows that Apple will not provide the new generation of iPhone devices with its latest modern processor "A16", but will only use the latest processor for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max devices, as for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max, it will use the same processor as the previous generation of iPhones, that is, "A15 Bionic".
Devices using new processors must also use new technologies to keep their temperature and performance within the right range, so Apple will use the vacuum chamber vapor chamber in the two major models equipped with the latest processors, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
It is reported that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models have a screen size of 6.1 inches and a resolution of 1170×2532, while the iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max have a screen size of 6.7 inches and a resolution of 1284×2778.
The screens of the two Pro models will be "LTPS OLED" screens with Project technology, with a frequency of 120 Hz, and will be equipped with AOD function (Always on Display).
Memory and storage
Apple appears to be offering a wide range of memory options for the new iPhone 14 models, with the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max having between 128GB and 512GB of ram options, while the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are rumored to have reached 1TB.
In terms of storage (running memory), all models of the iPhone 14 will receive 6GB of capacity, but the storage of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models will use the new "LPDDR5" technology with the highest transfer speed, while the storage of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will use "LPDDR4X" technology, which is the same technology used in the previous generation of iPhone 13 series models.
Battery with charging
The battery of the iPhone 14 device will be upgraded in terms of capacity and charging speed, according to the news posted on Twitter, the battery capacity data in the different models of the iPhone 14 series is as follows:
The iPhone 14 has a battery capacity of 3.279AH, the iPhone 14 Max has a battery capacity of 4.325AH, the iPhone 14 Pro has a battery capacity of 3.200AH, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a battery capacity of 4.323AH.
The new capacity will ensure that the new device has two hours longer than the daily use time of the previous generation of iPhones, and according to the leaked information, we also found that the thickness of the new iPhone has increased to accommodate a larger capacity battery, which also confirms that the battery of the series of devices will be updated.
In terms of charging speed, the iPhone 14 can support a charging speed of up to 30W in the most extreme cases, but this speed will decrease to about 25W as the battery charge percentage increases.
To accommodate this flow, Apple appears to be offering "USB-C" charging ports for models of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max, while the other two versions will continue to have the same "Lightning" ports as the previous generation, noting that the recently enacted EU law will force all companies to use "USB-C" ports in future smartphones.
Camera
The rear cameras of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max models will be improved in various ways, most notably from 12MP to 48MP, while this improvement will allow users to shoot 8K HD video.
As for the front camera of the iPhone 14 series device, it will be equipped with an "f/1.9" lens with autofocus, which will allow more light to enter the camera sensor, resulting in depth images with higher resolution.
Networking and Communications
Apple is expected to use a Qualcomm X65 modem in the iPhone 14 series of devices, which will be the first modem to connect to a 5G network at speeds of up to 10GB to improve the connection experience and speed. In addition, the devices in this series will support the latest wireless network standard, known as "Wi-Fi 6E".
In addition, the new generation of iPhones will also have an unprecedented function, that is, satellite communication. The feature will allow messages to be sent in an emergency or without cellular coverage, but when the feature is activated, most of the activity on the iPhone body will be restricted to ensure the safety of the device.
In terms of communications, the new generation of iPhones will use this technology in regions that support the "E-SIM" function (about 60 countries), and this technology can eliminate the traditional SIM card to save the internal space of the device.
What is the price of the iPhone 14 series devices?
According to the current leaked news, the price of the basic iPhone 14 model will not rise, while the price of other models will increase by $100 to $300 compared with the previous generation of devices, of course, the specific price will vary according to the specifications and storage capacity of each device.
It is reported that the price of iPhone 14 series devices will start from $749 and can be as high as $1099, of which the basic price of the iPhone 14 Max will start from $849, and its maximum specifications will be as high as $1199, while the price of the iPhone 14 Pro is likely to be between $1049 and $1599, and the price of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is between $1149 and $1699.
