Apple will launch the iPhone 14 at the 2022 fall conference this year. There have been a lot of sources confirming that the iPhone 14 screen uses an exclamation point punch shape. In addition, foreign media has recently confirmed from reliable sources that the iPhone 14 series adopts a dual-processor difference strategy. Only the iPhone 14 Pro will be equipped with the A16 bionic chip, and Apple is also actively researching the low-orbit satellite call function.
iPhone 14 spec details fully revealed
Four models and two sizes
The appearance and specifications of the new iPhone 14 will be exposed in advance before the exhibition. It is currently known that the 2022 iPhone 14 will also maintain four models. Apple cancels the iPhone 14 mini and replaces it with a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max model. Instead, this news was also confirmed by 9to5Mac. It has been confirmed by news that Apple is developing two basic iPhone 14 models (internal codenames D27 and D28), with sizes of 6.1 inches and 6.7 inches, abandoning the 5.4-inch iPhone 14 mini product.
The bangs are replaced by punched screens
The source also said that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max that Apple is developing, codenamed D73 and D74, will cancel the bangs design at the top of the screen and use the exclamation point drilling design instead, and the screen resolution will be higher than that of the iPhone 13. The Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are taller, mainly to accommodate the new iPhone punch-hole screen.
Dual processor differential strategy
In the processor section, sources also confirmed that the basic iPhone 14 will use the A15 bionic chip, only the iPhone 14 Pro series will be equipped with the new A16 bionic chip processor, and the four iPhone 14s will be equipped with 6GB of memory.
The news shows that this time Apple is not simply equipped with the old A15 chip. Apple may use the A15X chip for the iPhone 14, just like the A12Z strategy of the 2020 iPad Pro. Except for the same number of CPU cores, only the GPU will have one more core. , which also means that the A15X bionic chip equipped with the iPhone 14 is relatively faster in GPU computing than the iPhone 13 Pro.
“Mr. Crazy” also found that, in fact, the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro series have long used different grades of A15 bionic chips. Only the A15 of the iPhone 13 Pro is equipped with a 6-core CPU and a 5-core GPU. Instead, the basic iPhone 13 is equipped with a 6-core CPU and 4-core GPU, which also means that the basic iPhone 14 will use the A15 bionic chip of the iPhone 13 Pro series, and Apple may deliberately change the name to A15X.
iPhone 14 satellite calling feature?
Last year, it was rumored that the iPhone 13 would be equipped with a low-orbit satellite call function, but in the end Apple did not add it for the iPhone 13. However, the source also pointed out that Apple has indeed developed low-orbit satellite calling technology for the iPhone, internally codenamed “Stewie”, and engineers are currently testing prototype phones that send text messages through low-orbit satellite communications. It is not clear whether Apple will Implement satellite calling function for iPhone 14.
