iPhone 14 Updates,Rumors and Leaks

Introduction

The word speaks for itself “Apple” is the most valuable brand in the mobile phone manufacturing industry. iPhones are also the most sold lineup product of Apple. Ever Since the first iPhone was introduced by Steve Jobs back in 2007 during a keynote presentation at Macworld 2007 convention at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

The hype of a brand-new version of the iPhone always comes along, just like the weather that takes place throughout the year. Every year Apple launches a new version of the iPhone in September. While we have entered 2022, the hype, rumors and leaks of iPhone 14 are bound to happen.

The naming of the iPhone 14 series

The naming concepts, ideas or patterns of the iPhone has been somehow predictable these days, but we can also expect new names due to the fact that Apple has been naming the iPhone similarly and predictably for 2-3 years in a row and changing its name to a whole new series category and also the number one thing to be noted over here is that the apple has been using the same type of naming patterns for the newer models of iPhone for the past four years and now might be the perfect moment for Apple to introduce the newly named series of iPhones.

Key Features & Specifications

Every year iPhone comes with new features improving and upgrading itself from the previous generations of iPhones, but honestly, the overall feature is almost the same with one or two improved functionality of certain features and sometimes it might also come up with a whole new feature that might awe the whole phone manufacturing industry. Some of the key features and specifications are listed below:

Notch

The notch was introduced by the android phone manufacturing company called Essential Phone PH1. The notch had played an enormous role in determining the whole aesthetic look of any smartphone or iPhone out there. When it comes to an iPhone, the notch has been pretty much the same when it was firstly introduced in the iPhone X series, but according to several rumors and leaks found on the internet had made us think twice about this topic. Now it might be the perfect time for Apple to update its notch which can eventually help the brand-new iPhone 14 to stand different and unique from the previous models of iPhones.

Touch ID

When it comes to Touch ID, most people do not expect it to come back, especially in iPhones. Since the pandemic arises, most people are instructed to wear masks outdoors, and it makes it very difficult to recognize the face properly from the Face ID scanner so, more concerns and disappointment are made by apple fans from across the world. The rumors also indicate that Apple might introduce the on-screen touch id, which has already been introduced by its android competitors like OnePlus, Samsung and Huawei.

Camera

When it comes to photos, the iPhone camera never disappoints its user. The high quality of photos taken from iPhones are appreciated and sought after by every phone enthusiastic person. The Ultra-Wide camera in all 2022 iPhones could be improved, and there's a slight chance Apple will adopt "periscope" lens technology, which could allow for optical zoom up to 10x. Other smartphone manufacturers have already incorporated periscope lens technology, but Apple is said to be having issues because much of the technology is protected by patents held by other firms. Apple may either license technology from a company like Samsung or work on its own solution. Unfortunately, periscope lens technology isn't expected to be ready for release in 2022, although it could arrive in 2023 with the newer model at the time. The number of camera bumps might be more or less with a motive to differentiate the new models from the older ones.

Face ID

The Face ID was introduced in iPhones since the release of the iPhone X series. However, the Face ID feature was criticized by many users due to its failed attempts that usually takes while the mask is on. Most users are expecting the Face ID to be improved for a better user experience while detecting or scanning the face while the mask is on the face. The only possible solution to upgrade the Face ID is to make it able to scan and detect the face even when the mask is on the face.

According to multiple speculations, Apple is working on a solution to hide the Face ID technology beneath the display in order to eliminate the notch. According to the sources available in the internet. Apple is expected to add under-display Face ID technology in iPhone 14. The display analyst Ross Young stated that hardware components like the infrared camera will not be moved under the display until 2023 or 2024, and Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has also pointed to 2023 as Apple's target date for under-display Face ID functionality.

Screen Size

The screen size has started to change ever since the launch of the first iPhone. However, the size of the iPhones belonging to the same hierarchical series rank has similar sizes compared to its previous generation for the past couple of years.

According to the sources available online, the screen size of the iPhone 14 is expected to be in the following measurement:

Performance

The user experience of the iPhone is considered to be the best of all smartphones out there. The A bionic series of chips (processor) and the perfect combination of hardware and software are responsible for the iPhone's peak performance. The new powerful A 16 bionic chip is believed to be inside the newer model of iPhones.

Apple claims to be the "first in the industry" to build semiconductors using the 5nm process technology. This means fewer features on the chip and more transistors in the same amount of space. It usually translates to decreased power usage for the same amount of work.

Battery

The iPhone battery capacity, capability, and reliability were often criticized and doubted for the past several years. Since the release of the iPhone XR, the battery usage potentiality of the iPhone has been improved drastically. The current battery capacity of the iPhone 13 Pro Max is Li-Ion 4352 mAh, non-removable (16.75 Wh), but there are a few rumors about the iPhone being more thicker in order to facilitate the large battery, which will eventually enhance the battery performance and usability.
