Introduction

Apple introduces new iPhone models every year and we are expecting the same from 2022. The company is set to launch the iPhone 14 series this year and there are already numerous rumours and leaks in the market regarding the upcoming phones. We can expect two affordable and standard models called iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max, while there can be two Pro models called iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Apple has taken its camera, performance, and design a notch up with the iPhone 14 Pro model. There are also rumours that all four iPhones coming in 2022 will use Apple's A16 chips with improvements in power and efficiency.

Pill shape notch and new design will be a much-awaited update

Everyone is awaiting a major design overhaul with the iPhone 14 series this year. Rumours suggest that Apple is doing away with the notch for some of the iPhone 14 models. Rumours also abound that the iPhone 14 Pro or Pro Max could be port-less. However, instead of a notch, the iPhone 14 Pro models are rumoured to include two display cutouts. There can be a pill-shape cutout for the Face ID dot projector and other Face ID components. We could also expect a second circular cutout that will accommodate the front-facing camera. However, the non-Pro models could have a standard notch. These new cutouts are only expected to feature on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

Other major design rumours say that this year’s Apple phones will feature titanium edges, making them the toughest iPhones yet. It could have a 6.06 inch display with 1170 x 2532 OLED screen. We can hope to see a 1 to 120Hz variable refresh rate and 460 pixels per inch. There is also a possibility of complete redesign where we can expect the Mini version to go out of the series.

48 MP sensor on iPhone 14 Pro Camera

The iPhone 14 Pro is no exception and is expected to include camera improvements. From the word on the street, iPhone 14 Pro will be boasting a triple-lens camera setup. Apple will bless the iPhone 14 Pro with a new 48MP main sensor which could enable 8K videos. Users could also see some improvements in the telephoto lens along with a better Ultra-Wide camera. There is a possibility that Apple will introduce something called the periscope zoom lens that allows for much greater optical zoom. All the camera features put together can take the iPhone 14 Pro to another level.

Bigger ram for better performance

What good is in a smartphone if there are questions about its performance. With the iPhone 13 Pro models, Apple added 1TB storage but we are expecting an upgrade in the iPhone 14 Pro models. According to some rumours, iPhone 14 Pro will feature 8GB RAM and up to 2TB of storage. In order to meet the rising performance standards and beat direct competition, it is important for Apple to ensure best performing iPhones till date.

A thicker design for vapour changing cooling and bigger battery

Starting from 2022, Apple is likely to adopt a new vapour chamber cooling technology for all high-end iPhones. This technology is needed in the high-end Apple phones due to their stronger computing power and faster 5G connection speeds. Some of the top smartphone companies have already started to use vapour chamber cooling technology. This helps them to keep the device cooler when it is under heavy stress. In order to beat the latest innovations in the market, Apple is continuously working on its cooling technology and the high-end models could adopt it in the near future.

Speaking of upgrades, there are claims that the battery capacity could increase for the iPhone 14 Pro model. This seems possible as the phones are getting thicker to house their larger batteries. There are no exact numbers known for the battery life of the iPhone 14 line but expecting an upgrade would not harm. But if Apple is going to improve the iPhone's processing power, it makes sense to upgrade the battery too.

4NM A16 Bionic chip by tsmc

Reports suggest that the iPhone 14 range will have a new chipset, probably called the A16 Bionic chip by TSMC. iPhone 14 Pro could feature Apple's own A16 Bionic processor, which could be one of the first 4nm chips. This can lead to a serious power boost compared to the 5nm A15 Bionic chip in the current iPhone 13. Rumours have it that Apple has ordered chips from TSMC, with Apple using its own technology instead of chips from Samsung. Considering the rising competition.

Conclusion

Apple is yet to breathe a word about the iPhone 14 series. However, there are still several months to go before Apple launches iPhone 14 and its Pro models. They can be introduced at an event that's likely to be held in September 2022. Of all the launches, everyone's a little extra excited for the Pro models. The iPhone 14 Pro versions are tipped for a major design overhaul, battery upgrade, camera improvements, A16 chip, and much more. Everyone has their eyes set on this year’s fall launch by Apple because of stated reasons. With the launch of the iPhone 14 series, we may witness this year’s top smartphones.
