No more mini, but an extra Max
Gurman has a weekly newsletter, in which he spreads the latest infamous. This time, he’s looking at the iPhone 14, claiming a “complete redesign” of the iPhone 14 is on the way. The changes this year are less spectacular, according to Gurman, because the Apple engineers are working behind the scenes on bigger things that need more time. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously claimed that Apple in 2022 the mini model will stop and a ‘punch-hole design’ will be coming. Such a camera hole can already be seen in a few iPhone-rendereds created on the basis of rumors. Also rumored, Jon Prosser claims a punch-hole design is on the way and says he’s seen images of an iPhone 14 Pro Max without a notch. Strangely enough, the renders of these iPhone 14 models still show a flat model with flat sides, which makes it difficult to speak of a ‘complete redesign’.
With next year’s smartphones, Apple would like to focus on the ‘iPhone 14 Max’, a larger entry-level model. The 2022 line-up would then look like this:
- Standard iPhone 14
- iPhone 14 Max
- Two iPhone Pro-models
It is still unclear whether that Touch ID get below the screen. Apple According to Kuo, it would be working on it, but whether that will work for the 2022 models is still unclear. It will come in any case in the 2023 iPhones and then in 2024 a folding design will follow. Apple has its own plans for this, which should become reality within a few years. Gurman also thinks that the ‘iPhone Fold’ will be released in 2024.
From iPhone 13-series has just appeared, but there are already rumors about the successor on the street. Some renders have already appeared that should represent the presumed iPhone 14. There is no longer a notch to be seen and also the camera bump (which this year came with the iPhone 13series is extra large) has disappeared. The TrueDepthcamera could be hidden under the screen so you can barely see it.
