There’s a new generation of iOS phones on the way with the Apple iPhone 14 to arrive next September. We’ll have four models to choose from, no “mini” versions for 2022, and bigger screens, plus satellite communications and more notable improvements.
Although the launch of the iPhone 13 range occurred not long ago, and Apple has recently launched a new color (alpine green) for current smartphones, the truth is that rumors and information leaks already abound.
In 2022 Apple will not launch a new “mini” iPhone
The first rumors about the iPhone 14 coincide when it comes to the discontinuation of the “mini” models. The theory is also based on the recent launch of the Apple iPhone SE (2022), with new specifications and quite compact.
According to the exclusive of the publication. 9to5MacThe iPhone 14 models will have 6.1-inch (D27) and 6.7-inch (D28) screens, respectively. Therefore, the current 5.4-inch model (iPhone mini) is not expected to be renewed this year.
For these base models, Apple will maintain the screen resolution found on the current iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max models, namely 1170 x 2532 pixels and 1284 x 2778 pixels, respectively using the Super Retina XDR standard.
On the other hand, the same source reports that the screen of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models may be higher to accommodate the new notch in long tablet format. For these models the code name will be D73 and D74.
The same A15 Bionic processor in the Apple iPhone 14
Possibly the most controversial measure, the A 15 Bionic processor can be used in the base models: iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. This is the same chip present in all iPhone 13s currently on the market.
For the higher models, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple should use a new SoC, possibly the A16 Bionic if the naming scheme is kept. This same thesis is confirmed by the exclusive of the aforementioned publication.
That said, the technology is likely to use the more powerful version of the A15 Bionic (with an extra core in the GPU) for the Apple iPhone 14 models, as well as equipping them with 6GB of RAM, the same amount present. on current Pro models.
Satellite communications and “special” assets
This is one of the features that has been targeted for several months for the next iPhone. The possibility that mobile devices have a satellite connection so that, for example, they never run out of mobile network signal.
However, according to the new report presented by the 9to5Mac, This feature is currently under development. It is not certain, therefore, that the technology will be implemented in the next generation of iOS smartphones.
Finally, all new Apple iPhone 14s must be presented during the traditional fall event to be held next September.
