This is all we know so far about the iPhone 14 Pro.

iPhone 14 Pro's Larger Camera Bump tipped to Gets 48MP Camera

iPhone 14 Pro, Apple’s next iPhone, is expected to represent a major departure from the iPhone 13 Pro in terms of appearance. So far the rumours have hinted to everything from the death of the notch to the resurrection of Touch ID.

Even if the iPhone 13 Pro is excellent, it does not represent a significant advancement over the model it replaces. Since the iPhone 11 Pro, there hasn’t been a significant advancement in the iPhone lineup as a whole.

With the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and the Google Pixel 6 Pro posing fierce competition, it seems that Apple will have to step up its game with the iPhone 14 Pro as well. Thanks to leaks and speculations, it seems like Apple’s next Pro model will do precisely that. Also, the iPhone 14 Pro is expected to contain some major distinctions from the other iPhone 14 models, as well.

So far, the following is what we know and expect to see from the iPhone 14 Pro.

The rumoured release date and pricing of the iPhone 14 Pro.

The release date and pricing of Apple’s new iPhones are among the most closely guarded secrets in the tech industry. However, based on prior introductions, we’d think September is a fair bet for the iPhone 14 range.

iPhone 14 variants are currently said to be going through engineering validation testing (EVT). Since all four phones planned in this line will have the same design, we may assume that the stories we’ve heard about them will be true.

The iPhone 14 Pro’s starting price is expected to be the same as its predecessor’s, at $999. The Samsung Galaxy S22 is now available for $799, but Apple isn’t likely to lower the price of its higher-end flagship phone (particularly because the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max are anticipated to maintain their $699 and $799 pricing positions). One might make the case that a premium phone with well-chosen software and three great cameras is worth $999.

Don’t forget to take a peek at our first impressions of the iPhone 14 versus iPhone 14 Pro.

The design of the iPhone 14 Pro

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

In an homage to the iPhone 4, the renderings depict volume buttons. A titanium chassis is also being discussed, which would potentially make the iPhone 14 Pro more durable while while reducing its weight.

iPhone 13’s flat edges have been kept, however some may be divided over the back cameras.

Three cameras are flush with the iPhone 14 Pro’s rear in Prosser’s renderings. Contrary to what some rumours claim, the iPhone 14 Pro versions seem to resemble a much like their predecessors, the iPhone 13, in certain schematics. Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro has a raised camera array, and it’s said to be much larger than the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Other sources also have the camera module rumoured to become larger. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is well-known for his accuracy, believes that this is because a 48MP camera requires a bigger module.

Apple is expected to remove the display notch from the iPhone 14 Pro, according to Prosser, who has released images of the device’s design. Display expert Ross Young, on the other hand, predicts that Apple will include both a pill-shaped cutout and a punch hole for Face ID.

A Weibo user has shared an apparent schematic of what the iPhone 14 Pro design would look like. However, we’re not certain that this is an improvement over the notch.

Display Supply Chain Consultants, an analysis organisation, has once again emphasised the possibility of an iPhone 14 Pro with cutouts for two cameras. If you want a notch-free display on your next iPhone, you’ll have to wait another year for the basic model.

One more set of CAD renderings has shown us what the notch-free iPhone 14 Pro may look like so far. The asymmetrical design may not scream “Apple” at first glance, but it stands out anyway.

The iPhone 14 is said to include a USB-C connector, which makes sense given how many of Apple’s gadgets currently have USB-C connectivity. Having USB-C on the iPhone 14 Pro, for certain individuals, would be a must.

Rumors of an under-display fingerprint scanner for Touch ID first surfaced in the early days of the iPhone. However, it’s too early to tell whether or not this is really possible. Ming Chi-Kuo, an analyst, predicts that an iPhone with Touch ID or Face ID beneath the display won’t be available for many years. This would have been a huge disappointment, since it would have been really useful during these mask-wearing occasions.

But with iOS 15.4, Apple has changed it such that Face ID can detect a real user even when they are wearing a mask. Because it works so effectively, Apple may have avoided the need for fingerprint-based authentication altogether.

Not much has been hinted regarding iPhone 14 Pro colour possibilities, besides black, white, a light peach, and a dark green; the latter looks very decent but again it’s just in a render so we need to take this with a dosage of caution.

iPhone 14 Pro display

The 120Hz dynamic refresh rate display on the iPhone 13 Pro was one of the most significant improvements it brought. In order to preserve battery life, the screen might reduce its refresh rate from 120Hz to as low as 10Hz when using an LTPO panel.

According to the speculations thus far, we don’t anticipate this to change with the iPhone 13 Pro. However, a newer LTPO screen, like the one in the OnePlus 10 Pro, may be able to enhance power efficiency, as demonstrated in the phone.

Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are expected to retain their current displays of 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, respectively, based on current speculations. According to a Shadow Leaks report, the iPhone 14 Pro will have the same display sizes as the iPhone 13 Pro, which was leaked earlier this year by the same source.

An upgraded camera system on the iPhone 14 Pro.

The number of cameras on the iPhone 14 Pro isn’t expected to vary much, since the Pro models are expected to stay with the traditional setup of a primary, ultrawide, and telephoto lens. Given how Apple phones often appear in our best camera phones category, that’s no terrible thing.

But one rumour has the iPhone 14 Pro expected to include a 48MP primary camera, which might finally make a shift from the 12MP sensors Apple has utilised for years. When it comes to processing light and details, Apple’s computational photography is some of the finest in the world, but having more megapixels to work with would definitely offer the iPhone 14 Pro more options; we might be at a time when megapixels matter once again to Apple.

On the other hand, according to a recent report from China, the iPhone 14 Pro won’t include a 48MP primary sensor at all For this year’s Pro models, the IMX703 12MP camera—which measures 1/1.67 inches and has 1.9 micron pixels—will be used, according to Weibo user It’s Fat. We, of course, advise you to take this allegation with a grain of salt, as we do with every rumour and “leak.”

We’d be amazed if the ultrawide camera didn’t get a boost in terms of field of vision and a reduction in edge distortion.

An Apple patent suggests the corporation is working on a periscope-style zoom camera for the telephoto camera. The iPhone 14 Pro would be the most likely candidate to have this new function, if it were to appear at all. The periscope camera, according to Apple oracle Ming-Chi Kuo, isn’t expected to emerge until the iPhone 15 in 2023, further muddying the waters.

There’s been no announcement about any enhancements to the front-facing camera. In order to improve portrait and low-light photographs, we’d anticipate a software upgrade.

Specifications and battery life of the iPhone 14 Pro

iPhone 14 Pro’s specifications have not been confirmed, although it isn’t unusual for a new model to feature an upgraded processor, as is the case with every new iPhone.

After the A15 Bionic, we may anticipate an A16 Bionic chip, which will have better overall performance. An upgrade to a 4nm manufacturing node is envisaged for that chip. It’s also possible that Apple may release its own 5G modem.

As a result, the iPhone 14 Pro is expected to deliver a significant increase in CPU speed, graphics capability, and brain processing over the A15 Bionic. Although it’s unclear how much of a difference this will make to the typical user, the iPhone 14 Pro isn’t going to have any problems handling any work.

Oddly, only the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max have been expected to get the A16 Bionic, according to Kuo, who believes the iPhone 14 will remain with the A15 processor. First for Apple, which has traditionally included updated silicon in its new iPhones. A second Shadow Leak release confirms this. Apple’s supply chain may have been hampered by the two-year chip scarcity, but this is only conjecture at this point.

Newer reports indicate that the iPhone 14 will employ the same A15 Bionic processor that powers this year’s iPhone 13 Pro models, making the situation even more puzzling for Apple fans. According to teardowns, the processor has 6GB of RAM, whereas the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini have 4GB of RAM. Perhaps an update of this type might help the iPhone 14 Pro appeal to more people than its regular predecessor, but it wouldn’t be a complete processor overhaul.

According to a new leak, the iPhone 14 Pro would include 8GB of RAM. The iPhone 14 Pro might become an absolute powerhouse if its onboard RAM is increased, since Apple’s dedication to efficiency has allowed it to accomplish more with less RAM than devices like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Even if you don’t think your existing iPhone is sluggish, adding the additional RAM can be considered overkill. Analyst Jeff Pu, on the other hand, thinks that all four iPhone 14 versions will include 6GB of RAM.

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

Up to this far, no specific details about the battery’s size or capacity have surfaced in the speculations. In our battery test, in which we repeatedly push the phone to refresh web pages over a cellular connection until it dies, we’re optimistic that the iPhone 14 Pro will equal or even beat the 11 hours and 42 minutes the iPhone 13 Pro managed. Considering that Apple improved processor and phone efficiency in the iPhone 13 Pro Max to provide a battery life of 12 hours and 16 minutes, the iPhone 14 Pro Max should provide similar or better results.

This year’s iPhone 14 Pro is expected to employ a new, more compact 5G modem chip. The lower size should reduce the amount of power needed to operate the device, as well as provide the battery area to grow. The iPhone 13’s battery life, which is already remarkable, might be further enhanced in this way.

Qualcomm’s new 5G CPU, the Snapdragon X70, may not be able to benefit from the iPhone 14 Pro’s advances. 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, which is 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 transmissions.

outlook for the iPhone 14 Pro

Pro variants of the iPhone are believed to provide a major upgrade over the last several years’ worth of iPhones, and the iPhone 14 Pro is expected to be no exception. Although it won’t look completely different from the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12, we believe this next iPhone generation will bring a design language and capabilities that will influence future iPhones. For those who haven’t heard, here’s what the iPhone SE (2022) reveals about the iPhone 14 based on its specifications.

With no notch, Touch ID fingerprint recognition, a larger megapixel count for the primary camera, and a USB-C connector, the iPhone as we know it might be completely reimagined. In turn, this would set the bar for those smartphones hoping to make it into our list of the best phones.
