After months of leaks and rumors, Apple finally took the wraps off its new iPhone 13 lineup at its California Streaming launch event last week. While Apple’s latest smartphones offer notable improvements within the camera, performance, and battery life departments, it’s safe to mention the new phones aren’t setting the bar too high when it involves the planning . However, it’s like Apple is saving the long-due design refresh for its next-gen iPhone models.
Reliable Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo has revealed (via 9to5Mac) some new details about the iPhone 14 lineup consistent with Kuo, the iPhone 14 lineup will feature a brand-new hole-punch design and a 48MP wide camera.
Kuo emphasized in his report that only the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature the hole-punch design. meaning the regular models might stick with an equivalent notch design, though Kuo didn’t mention anything thereon front. This matches Kuo’s previous report and leaked renders released by Jon Prosser on the eve of the iPhone 13 launch.
The iPhone 14 is rumored to return in two different sizes — 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch — and 4 models. The four models could contains the regular iPhone 14, a replacement iPhone 14 Max model, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max Apple also will reportedly ditch the 12MP camera sensor in favor of a replacement 48MP wide sensor. However, this alteration are going to be limited to the high-end models — presumably the professional and Pro Max models.
Kuo predicts the iPhone 14 will launch within the last half of 2022. He also mentions that Apple will launch a replacement iPhone SE model with 5G support within the half of 2022 Kuo also previously said that the iPhone could come equipped with an in-display fingerprint sensor. In his latest investor note, however, he backtracks thereon statement. Now he says Apple has delayed the in-display Touch ID to the last half of 2023 thanks to “lower than expected development progress.”
