iphone 14 pro camera, design — everything we know so far

Every rumor and leak about the iPhone 14 Pro is right here!

Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro is expected to include a design that differs significantly from the iPhone 13 Pro, possibly shaking up the iPhone lineup. Everything from the demise of the notch to Touch ID’s comeback has been speculated about so far in the rumor mill.

As impressive as the iPhone 13 Pro is, it’s hard to argue that it’s a slam dunk above the previous generation. And since the iPhone 11 Pro, the iPhone hasn’t made a significant step forward.

To compete with Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra and Google’s Chromebook Pixel 7, Apple will need to up its game with its iPhone 14 Pro; our comparison of these two devices can be found here.

As far as we know, Apple’s next Pro model seems to be capable of achieving precisely that, as seen by the many leaks and reports. The iPhone 14 Pro, on the other hand, may feature some significant distinctions from the other iPhone 14 versions.

So far, here’s what we know and what we want to see from the iPhone 14 Pro.

iPhone 14 Pro rumored release date and price 

The iPhone 14 line is expected to be unveiled on September 13th, according to the latest reports.

Once pre-orders for the iPhone 14 range go live on September 16, we can anticipate the devices to be launched on September 23rd, the following Friday. After the reported Apple event, this would be 10 days.

Relatively trustworthy source for information Leaks ApplePro claims that the prices of three of the four iPhone 14 variants are set to rise, although this is simply a rumor for the time being. An other story has also claimed that Apple is about to raise the price of the iPhone 14 Pro to $99, which many people are buying into.

According to these reports, the iPhone 14 Pro will cost $1,099, which is $100 more than the iPhone 13 Pro, which starts at $999. Also, the price of the iPhone 14 Pro Max might go up by $100, bringing the total to $1,199. With such a large jump in price, the next-generation iPhone 14’s top end will be beyond of reach for most people.

See how the Pro range differs from the ordinary lineup, and maybe justify the additional price, by taking a peek at our early look at the iPhone 14 versus iPhone 14 Pro.

This implies that, when a new iPhone model is unveiled, it’s almost always followed by the demise of earlier models of the same model, and the iPhone 13 small is the most probable candidate for this. Because of this, we’ve investigated which iPhones could be phased out when the iPhone 14 debuts.

iphone 14 pro always on display and Looks

The rumored leaks from Jon Prosser have led to a series of renderings purporting to demonstrate the iPhone 14 Pro’s upcoming key upgrades.

It seems that the iPhone 14 Pro’s rear will include a three-camera setup that is flush with the device. The iPhone 14 Pro seems to be quite similar to the iPhone 13 in some competitor schematics, so if that sounds good to you, you could be disappointed. As with the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Max, the iPhone 14 Pro is expected to include a larger, higher-resolution camera array, as well as a thicker body (up to 0.2 millimeters).

Other sources also suggest that the back camera module will expand. Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says this is because a bigger module is required to accommodate a 48MP camera on the device. Since the new module’s corners have a curved shape, a recent rumor indicates the corners of the iPhone 14Pro (but not the ProMax) will grow rounder to match.

Apple’s expected decision to do away with the now-famous display notch is perhaps the most significant improvement to the iPhone 14 Pro. Display expert Ross Young predicts that Apple will include two holes for Face ID: a pill-shaped cutout and a punch hole. According to speculations from EverythingApplePro, this design has been finalized.

In what looks to be a leaked supply chain shot, all four iPhone 14 models’ display panels are clearly seen.

We can see the overall effect of all the design modifications in various iPhone 14 mock-ups published by Alibaba and Alibaba. Macotakara claims that iPhone 13 Pro covers won’t fit the iPhone 14 Pro owing to the larger camera module.

Apple’s four iPhone 14 models are shown in a supposedly leaked case, including the iPhone 14 and its Plus/Max siblings, the iPhone 14 Pro, and the iPhone 14 Max.

The absence of an iPhone 14 small, as well as the fact that the iPhone 14 Pro is expected to be the same size as the ordinary iPhone 14, suggests that the iPhone 14 Pro is expected to be the same size as the standard iPhone 14. It will be accompanied by the iPhone 14 Plus/Max, which is a bigger version of the iPhone 14 Pro Max. There seems to be little difference between the rears of all four phones other than that the Pro variants will have three cameras and ordinary phones will have two.

An under-display fingerprint scanner has been rumored to be a possible comeback of Touch ID. However, the verdict is still out on whether or not this is a real possibility. A few years down the road, Ming Chi-Kuo thinks there won’t be an iPhone with Touch ID or Face ID. This would have been a real letdown, since an alternative to Face ID is really useful in these mask-wearing days.

Face ID, on the other hand, is now able to detect a person even if they are wearing a mask thanks to iOS 15.4. Apple may have avoided the necessity for fingerprint-based authentication by making this function so effectively.

Only one leak has mentioned the iPhone 14 Pro’s color possibilities. It was believed that this year’s Pro iPhone color options will include a dark purple, which would be a departure from the usual Graphite, Silver, and Gold. Another series of renderings by artist Souta may be seen below (opens in new tab).

When it comes to iPhone 14 color speculations, MacRumors sums things up in May, with the inclusion of the purple option as its most significant alteration. Otherwise, the report includes the current iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 portions in black, white, blue, and [Product] Red. Notably, Apple has renamed their black-and-white handsets “Midnight” and “Starlight,” respectively. For the first time in a long time, the pink and green colors will not be used in this campaign.

Apple is expected to introduce a new purple color for its iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models. Both the Sierra Blue and Alpine Green models, which have been available since the iPhone 13 Pro launched in the spring, will be discontinued.

iPhone 14 Pro USB-C

The iPhone 14 Pro is expected to contain a USB-C connection, which would make sense as many of Apple’s gadgets currently have USB-C connectivity. According to more recent reports, Apple will continue to use Lightning over USB-C but will transition to Lightning ports with better USB 3.0 data transfer speeds. A drive toward making USB-C the standard charger for mobile devices like smartphones occurs at the same time.

If you’re considering the iPhone 14 Pro, USB-C may make all the difference to you. The Lightning connection, on the other hand, is perhaps the worst part of the iPhone since it is susceptible to wear and tear. As a result, charging your phone may be quite tough. In the end, Apple is unlikely to forsake Lightning because of how well entrenched the standard and its accompanying accessory ecosystem is.

While Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple will convert to USB-C for its iPhones by the end of 2023, he isn’t certain of the timeline. If he’s right, as a recent rumor from Bloomberg claims he is, then the iPhone 15 will be the first to ship with a USB-C connector.

Apple’s new iPhone 13 Pro has an improved 120Hz dynamic refresh rate display. With the usage of an LTPO panel, the screen could swing from a 120Hz refresh rate to as low as 10Hz, which saved battery life.

Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro is said to have a screen refresh rate of as low as 1 Hz, further minimizing the battery depletion of a display. As a result, it’s possible that an always-on display will be made available. A low refresh rate will help save battery life, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who claims the iPhone 14 Pro would have an always-on display that will show “weather, calendars, stocks, activities and other data.” In June, Apple released a glimpse of iOS 16’s new lock screen, which seems to have set the ground for this new feature.

With that said, a 90Hz display is expected for the ordinary iPhone 14 models, which is an improvement above the 60Hz display on iPhone 13, but not quite on par with the Pro variants.

According to Ross Young, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max screens might grow from 6.06 inches to 6.12 inches and 6.68 inches to 6.69 inches, respectively. The predicted thinner bezels and new notch design are said to be the reason for this.

Keep your expectations in check for the amount of cameras on the iPhone 14 Pro, which is expected to include a primary, ultrawide, and telephoto camera array. That’s hardly a terrible thing, given how often Apple devices appear in our top camera phone rankings.

Apple has utilized 12MP cameras for years, but a single source suggests that the iPhone 14 Pro will have a 48MP primary camera. When it comes to processing light and details, having more megapixels to work with would definitely offer the iPhone 14 Pro greater latitude; we might be at a point when megapixels matter once again to Apple. While Cupertino has some of the greatest computational photography,

Standard iPhone 14 models are anticipated to keep their 12MP cameras, according to a reliable Apple source. Only Pro versions are expected to gain a 48MP primary camera.

Although no changes have been announced for the ultrawide camera, we wouldn’t be shocked if efforts were made to enhance the field of vision and reduce edge distortion.

An Apple patent suggests the corporation is working on a periscope-style zoom camera, so a zoom increase for the telephoto lens is possible. The iPhone 14 Pro would be the first iPhone to provide such a function. In addition, Apple oracle Ming-Chi Kuo believes that the periscope camera won’t be included in the iPhone 15 until 2023.

According to Ming-Chi Kuo, the front-facing camera on all iPhone 14 models will be updated. It seems that a bigger aperture, a more complicated 6-component lens, and the first appearance of autofocus will all be part of this. Because the iPhone’s selfie camera has an autofocus, it’ll be able to produce brighter photographs that are less likely to be distorted.

iphone 14 pro battery mah and specs

Apple’s A16 Bionic technology, which is said to provide better overall performance than the A15 Bionic, is expected to be included in the iPhone 14 Pro series.

According to current reports, the iPhone 14 will stay with the A15 Bionic technology, resulting in a discrepancy between its fundamental specifications and those of the iPhone 13. First for Apple, which has traditionally included updated silicon in its new iPhones.

It has been reported by Ming Chi-Kuo that Apple would ship more iPhone 14 Pro models than normal iPhone 14s due to a new processor.

According to Kup, the new A16 chip will only Apple found in two iPhone 14 Pro/high-end versions, upping the shipping percentage of new iPhone high-end models from 40–50 percent to 55-60 percent in the second half of the year. This might indicate that Apple is more focused on advertising the iPhone 14 Pro than the standard iPhone 14 model.

For the A15 Bionic, the iPhone 14 Pro is expected to deliver a significant increase in CPU, graphics, and neural processing speed. It’s not obvious how big of an impact it will have on the ordinary user.

The iPhone 14 Pro is expected to feature a storage capacity of up to 1TB, however Apple have been no confirmed speculations about this yet.

It seems that all versions save the iPhone 14 Pro Max, according to a Weibo source who claims to have exclusive knowledge of the iPhone 14 family’s battery capacity, would see a little rise in size. But ideally this will not have a negative influence on the total battery life of the 14 Pro Max.

iPhone 14 Pro’s battery life should be at least as long as the iPhone 13 Pro’s, which was forced to repeatedly reload web pages via a cellular connection until the phone died. A 12-hour and 16-minute battery life was achieved by the iPhone 13 Pro Max; with Apple’s improved processor and phone efficiency, we think that the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be even better.

A new 5G modem chip is expected to be included in the iPhone 14 Pro when it launches later this year. In theory, a smaller size means less power consumption and more space for the battery to grow into. That means that the iPhone 13’s already amazing battery life may be boosted even more.

Unfortunately, it seems that Qualcomm’s latest 5G technology, the Snapdragon X70, will not be available for the iPhone 14 Pro. Artificial intelligence may be used to better control 5G beams coming from and going to a 5G phone by using the chip’s 5G AI processor, the first of its type. Qualcomm believes that mmWave-based 5G networks, such as stadiums and arenas, would be especially valuable, but AI can also assist control sub-6GHz 5G signals.

The iPhone 14 Pro may possibly be able to connect to satellite networks in addition to its cellular and Wi-Fi capabilities. According to trustworthy tipsters, emergency satellite communications are a possibility for the iPhone 14 models, a feature that initially appeared during the buildup to last year’s iPhone 13 debut. Using satellite networks, you can send location-alerting text messages to emergency services while you’re not near a cell tower or Wi-Fi hotspot.

iPhone 14 Pro outlook  

The Pro versions are expected to represent a significant progression of the iPhones we’ve seen over the previous several years, and the iPhone 14 Pro may be the phone many of us have been waiting for. Even while it won’t look completely different from the iPhone 13 and 12 when it arrives, we believe this next iPhone generation will establish a design language and features that will be the foundation for future iPhone models to build upon.

With no notch, an always-on display, a larger primary camera megapixel count, and maybe a USB-C connector, the iPhone as we know it might be fundamentally altered. And that, in turn, would serve as a model for other smartphones hoping to make our list of the best phones.
