Will the iPhone 14 eliminate the SIM card slot?
There is currently information circulating that some models in the iPhone 14 series are likely to be changed to eSIM , but there is actually no technical difficulty in Apple using eSIM in its devices. The Apple Watch released in 2017 already supports eSIM, so I thought Apple would use eSIM on the iPhone early on, but I didn't expect that they would make the change in 2022.
According to the latest information, it has become clear that the entire iPhone 14 (US version) series will use eSIM instead of SIM.
"iPhone 14MAX (tentative name)" release suddenly delayed?
On May 26, Nikkei Asia reported that the release of one model in the iPhone 14 series may be delayed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on lockdowns.
Jeff Pu of Haitong International Securities reports that production of the "iPhone 14 Max (tentative name)" has been delayed by three weeks. Mass production of the "iPhone 14 Max (tentative name)" is scheduled to begin by the end of August, but with only a few weeks left until the fall new product launch event, it may not be ready in time. This may result in a delay in the release of the "iPhone 14 Max (tentative name)."
What do you think of the iPhone in the photo above? Is there anything different about it from iPhones sold up until now?
The design of the back! Yes, the biggest point is that the rear camera area is flat.
According to leaker Jon Prosser's predictions, the iPhone 14 will have a thicker body and a flatter rear camera, likely resulting in a design similar to the iPhone 4, the most highly acclaimed iPhone ever.
However, CAD data for the iPhone 14 leaked in March 2022 suggests that the basic design will remain the same as the iPhone 13 Pro series, with the main differences being the larger rear camera unit and the adoption of an i-shaped punch-hole design.
What kind of design should the iPhone 14 have? The answer will be in September!
Should I wait for the iPhone 14 or buy the iPhone 13?
Apple's iPhone 14 will be released in mid-September 2022 as usual, but should you wait for the iPhone 14 or buy the iPhone 13?
This may be a difficult question.
To conclude, NIMASO believes there is no need to wait for the iPhone 14.
Will they eliminate the notch and adopt an i-type punch hole?
The iPhone 14 and 14 Max will continue to feature the notch that was made 20% smaller in the iPhone 13 series. The Pro models will likely eliminate the notch and adopt a new i-shaped punch-hole design with a horizontal circle and a perfect circle arranged side by side. I think the punch-hole is better than the notch.
Why is there no data on the mini model?
Will the new iPhone have two-way wireless charging?
Leaker McGuire Wood predicted that the iPhone 14 series will have some new features when iOS 16.5 is released, and Cult of Mac believes this new feature will be bidirectional wireless charging.
Since the iPhone 11 Pro series, rumors about the possibility of two-way wireless charging functionality being implemented on iPhones have been circulating every time a new iPhone is released.
High-strength titanium frame?
Current iPhone models use aluminum for the standard model and stainless steel for the Pro model, but the iPhone 14 series will apparently use a titanium frame, which is more scratch-resistant and stronger.
Camera functions have further evolved, with 8K video recording possible?
While the iPhone 14 and 14 Max will continue to feature a 12-megapixel lens, the Pro model is said to have a 48-megapixel wide-angle camera, a telephoto camera, and a LiDAR scanner. There are also rumors of 8K video recording.
The above is also the reason why the rear camera unit of the iPhone 14 will be larger than that of the iPhone 13.
CAD data for the iPhone 14 Pro created by leaker Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) shows that the iPhone 14 Pro's display is taller and the corners of the case are more rounded than the iPhone 13 Pro.
Apple is apparently developing a telephoto camera with a periscope lens to achieve 5x to 6x optical zoom, but it is rumored that it will only be installed on the iPhone 15 Pro Max in 2023, and not on the Pro or Pro Max until 2024.
Is it only the Pro model that uses the latest chip, A16?
The iPhone 13 series is equipped with A15 chips overall, but the Pro models are equipped with A16 chips, while the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max are rumored to be equipped with A15 chips. UBS Securities predicts that iPhone 14 series shipments will reach approximately 92 million units this year. DigiTimes reports that the iPhone 14 series will be equipped with memory chips that use different specifications than previous models, which will have a significant impact on shipments from the three major memory chip vendors: Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron Technology.
iPhone 14 series display details revealed! Pro model will feature LTPO TFT OLED
TheElec has reported details about the displays that will be installed in the iPhone 14 series, stating that Samsung Display will provide different grades of materials for the OLED panels it manufactures for the iPhone 14 series depending on the model tier.
Specifically, the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max (Plus) models will be equipped with low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) thin-film transistor (TFT) OLED panels in the M11 material set, while the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be equipped with low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) TFT OLED panels in the M12 material set.
Will the iPhone 14 have an "always-on" display, limited to Pro models?
According to Gurman, this year's iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are expected to feature an "always-on" display similar to that of the Apple Watch. The Apple Watch features an always-on display that allows users to view widgets such as weather, calendar, stock prices, and activity even when the screen is dimmed, and Gurman stated in his newsletter, "Power On," that this year's iPhone 14 Pro models will have a similar feature.
Apple announced iOS 16 at its WWDC developer conference on June 6th, stating that it would place widgets on the iPhone lock screen that would allow users to check information such as the date, time, schedule, weather, and battery level all in one place. With the iPhone 14 Pro model, which is equipped with an always-on display, it looks like users will be able to access this information instantly by simply looking at the device on the table.
Is the 120Hz refresh rate display also limited to the Pro model?
There are also big changes to the display.
According to the latest information, the display size of the iPhone 14 Pro model will be slightly larger than that of the 13 Pro. It will be 6.12 inches compared to the 6.06 inches of the iPhone 13 Pro. The iPhone 14 Pro Max will have a 6.69-inch display, 0.01 inches larger than the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Considering the above information, the iPhone 14 Pro model might be the best option!
Does the iPhone 14 Pro series use Lightning?
Recently, there have been rumors that the iPhone 14 Pro series will be changed to a Type-C interface, but on April 18, iDrop News reported that Apple will continue to use the Lightning interface on the iPhone 14 Pro series this year until an interface-free iPhone that transfers data wirelessly via Mag Safe is released.
Is the return of Touch ID unlikely?
There are rumors thatTouch ID could return to the iPhone 14 series , but Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that the return of Touch ID has been postponed until 2023 at the earliest due to "slower than expected development progress."
A video posted on the YouTube channel Concepts iPhone - based on rumors and expectations for the iPhone 14 - showsthe iPhone 14's power button equipped with Touch ID functionality .
In an age where masks are essential, Touch ID, which was highly anticipated on the iPhone 13, may be making a comeback on the iPhone 14. There is conflicting information about whether it will be physical fingerprint authentication or in-screen fingerprint authentication.
However, DSCC CEO Ross Young has also expressed the view that the iPhone 14 will not have Touch ID.
So, what's going on with Touch ID? Join NIMASO at the Apple event in mid-September.
Will inflation affect the new iPhone 14?
According to current information, smartphone sales are expected to decline compared to last year due to factors such as inflation, but sales of the iPhone 14 series are expected to increase. In contrast, Android smartphones appear to be facing a decline in sales.
However, due to the economic downturn caused by inflation, sales of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max, the cheaper models in the iPhone 14 series, may be lower than expected.
Will only the iPhone 14 Pro be increased in price?
It was rumored that the selling price of the iPhone 14 series would be the same as the iPhone 13 series based on current market trends, but Kuo reported that only the iPhone 14 Pro series would be increased in price.
It is rumored that in the iPhone 14 series, only the iPhone 14 Pro series will be increased in price by $100 (approximately 13,500 yen).
Regarding this prediction, MacRumors stated that the minimum storage capacity of the iPhone 14 Pro series will be 256GB, which will increase the average selling price (ASP) of the entire series, but that the selling price will remain the same as the iPhone 13 Pro series if the storage capacity is the same.
Will iOS 16 display remaining battery power?
The Apple Post reports that some iPhones with Face ID support displaying the remaining battery percentage, while others do not.
One week earlier than rumored
Weinbach predicts that the iPhone 14 series announcement event will be held on September 6, 2022 local time, with the release date being September 16.
DigiTimes pointed out that it is still unclear whether sales of the iPhone 14 series will be able to maintain their strong performance from the end of the fourth quarter of 2022 (October to December) through the first quarter of 2023 (January to March).
New orange color added?
Following rumors that purple will be added to the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max, and dark purple to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, MyDrivers has reported that a new orange color is expected to be added.
However, while there were rumors that the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 would be included in the lineup, neither of these plans came to fruition.
Looking at current color predictions, the base model of the iPhone 14 is expected to come in five colors: midnight, starlight, red, purple, orange, or sky blue, while the Pro model is said to come in four colors: graphite, silver, gold, orange, or dark purple.
