Something to look forward to: Apple has been using the same notched display design for its flagship phones since the iPhone X in 2017. cutout housing and improved selfie camera.
We expect Apple to launch its highly anticipated new iPhone range in September. While that’s still a long way off, there’s plenty of rumours, so at least we have an idea of what’s to come.
Today well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the iPhone 14 series will have an improved front-facing camera with autofocus and a wider aperture of f/1.9. Previous rumors have indicated Apple’s desire to ditch the notch. Kuo has a track record of predicting iPhone features, so his confirmation is just one step away from being official.
As a reminder, the iPhone 13 has a fixed focus camera with an aperture of f/2.2. While autofocus can track the subject better and allow for sharper shots from further away, the wider aperture would allow more light to hit the sensor, improving selfies at night.
This new camera will be housed in a regular notch in the vanilla iPhone 14 models, while the Pro versions will instead feature a two-hole design. Apple is probably counting on people choosing the more expensive Pro models for a more modern look.
Rumors also indicate that the Cupertino company will drop the Mini this year and replace it with a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max. Unfortunately, this will reduce the size options for the main series from three to two.
The regular iPhones will likely continue to use the same A15 Bionic chipsets from last year, but increase the RAM to 6GB. Meanwhile, the Pro models get an improved A16 chip and a 48-megapixel rear camera that can shoot 8K video and a better digital zoom.
There’s no word on pricing yet, but we’ll hear more as we get closer to the official launch.
