Another iPhone 7 concept video suggested a parachute system and received 15 million views.
With all the iphone 14 meme, iphone 14 trailers (fan made), people these days are mostly comparing iphone 13 pro max vs iphone 14 pro max and are more leaned towards waiting for iphone 14 rather than purchasing iphone 13.
We will cover some factual news that Apple and the media aren’t telling you, and the report will delight Apple fans.
Features Analysis
To stay on top of the competitors, Apple tends to add more innovative features to the iPhones each year. In this article, we are going to discuss about how Apple has performed in its previous iPhone models by scoring features from the scale of 0 to 10. These scores also take into account user reviews. We will discuss about every core feature separately and make an educated guess on what to expect from iPhone14.
Chart above shows a breakdown of features scores from first model iPhone 3 up to the latest iPhone13. The scores shows depicts an average consolidated of all variant of each model. Let us dive in and discuss every feature in detail;
Design
Apple devices are famous worldwide for their elegance, simplicity, and great design. Apple redesigned their flagship phone on its 4th model iPhone 4 with pointy edged body. From there onward, there hasn’t been much significant differences made other than the increase in screen size.
iPhone 6 onward unto iPhone 11, was a change in design from pointy edges to curved round edges making it more handy with good grip.
Because of the entry of rival competitors with bigger displays and higher screen-to-body ratio. Apple responded by launching the iPhone X with an edge-to-edge display and higher screen-to-body ratio by removing the home button and adding a notch on the front screen.
So what changes will Apple make in iPhone 14 design?
Apple fans have shown interest in having a small screen on the edge side replacing the volume
buttons. This will enhance productivity as it won’t just be used for volume control, instead this tiny multi-purpose screen shall be fully customizable with user-defined icons, including finger print scanner.
We have illustrated concept iphone 14 pro max pictures (as shown on the right). The base model might have minor changes compared to the previous model with a notch design. In iPhone 14 pro lineup, Apple will most likely design a pill-shaped and circular cutout with a bit of black space. The front side of the iPhone 14 pro might include a dot projector, selfie camera, and Infrared camera, probably with FaceID.
Fan made iphone 14 images can also be seen below, depicting a small screen on the side.
iphone 14 flip phone rumors are also in the air, as seen on fan made videos on YouTube, but Apple has not officially announced any such thing yet. Flip technology is fairly new, as a result people have already reported many issues on Android flip phones. Apple is currently reviewing the market trend, technology and will definitely be coming up with something big regarding flip models.
Display
Following the previous models suggests that displays were not rated well. Apple was sticking to the retina display for a long time. While other competitors, specifically Samsung, were using super AMOLED and OLED panels in their flagships and mid-range phones.
A sudden up-trend suggested a considerable improvement in displays when Apple introduced iPhone X and made a remarkable comeback in the display segment by implementing OLED panels
The OLED panels in iPhones are rich and highly dynamic, making text and images sharp without visible pixels.
The iPhone 14 is the follow-up to Apple’s stunning iPhone 13 series, and it’s clear Apple has better plans for the upcoming flagship.
According to the latest reports, iPhone 14 possible specs may have a ProMotion 120hz smooth display. Further leaks reveal that display sizes in iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro might have a 6.1-inch panel. In contrast, the iPhone 14 max and iPhone 14 pro max may have a 6.7-inch display panel.
Processor
A bump from iPhone 4 can be observed, where the company launched its first processor with enhanced GPU performance. Apple really deserved their self-proclaimed flagship slogan `Revolution in Resolution` by increasing screen resolution from 480 x 320 to 960 x 640 and pixel density from 163ppi to 326ppi.
Following the statistics on geek benchmarks, we can observe an up-trend indicating strategic improvements in Apple’s processors after the iPhone 5 and subsequent models. Since then, Apple has consistently been working hard on bringing the new and improved variants of their flagship bionic series chipset processors. This much performance was also the demand of high-end applications, games, 4G and 5G internet.
According to leaked statistics, the iPhone 14 will appear to be quite promising in performance. Rumors seem to be pretty sure that iPhone 14 will most probably feature the latest generation A-series Apple A-16 chip renowned for being the fastest in the industry. The chipsets are also energy efficient, built on TSMC’s NP4 process. The latest news claims it as the third significant enhancement of the 5-nanometer family. The iPhone 14 Pro may probably feature 8GB of RAM. However, according to the industry analysts, Apple might stick with 6GB of Ram.
Main Camera
Apple’s camera quality has never disappointed to reach users’ expectation. The camera quality has steadily risen since the launch of the iPhone 3 until iPhone 5.
A bit down-trend in the case of iPhone 8 appeared following the report from DXOmark revealed exposures and white balance instabilities. There were noticeable movements in color and brightness while transitioning in different lighting conditions.
Followed by an issue reported by users in iPhoneX camera flash in cold weather, which was later fixed by software upgrade.
A sudden bump on iPhone 11 camera score is given due to new third ultra wide angle lens introduced in iPhone 11 pro max variant. Followed by a slight enhancement in stability and picture quality on iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series in 2020-21. A increased score on iphone 13 camera is because of the launch of video Cinematic mode in iphone13, through which users can create amazing motion-blurred cinematic videos in real-time.
According to a recent report from TrendForce, Apple will hopefully take a big step up with the iPhone 14 pro, ditching the 12 MP rear camera in the iPhone 13 pro for a 48 MP with a whooping 8K video recording rear camera.
Apple does holds the title of one of the most used brands by photographers on Flickr. and has been showing improvements in camera on each iphone model. There weren’t any significant differences seen on iPhone 13 model as compared to iPhone 12, so its unlikely to say whether Apple is going to focus on main camera on its next release.
Selfie camera
Apple introduced for the very first time, front facing camera on iPhone 4. The original intention was to take selfies, enable efficient video calling with another groundbreaking feature, FaceTime, incorporated into the iPhone 4.
iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s plus came with a 5 Megapixels camera. Later subsequent models tend to improve in megapixels, technology, and sensors.
The uptrend shows that Apple started to improve the front camera from iPhone 7 onward. Following the emerging trend of “selfies” spread among the youth since 2013. The company was bound to enhance front camera capabilities and provide iPhone users with a better selfie camera.
When it comes to capturing the perfect selfie, the iPhone 11 Pro is considered one of the best selfie cameras for capturing sharp, well-saturated, and perfectly balanced selfies with its dedicated portrait mode.
So what will be in the latest iPhone 14 Camera?
With every new release, the Apple camera always becomes better, evidenced by benchmark scores and exclusive features added each year. This year’s release is no exception.
The latest leaks further revealed a periscope style lens to enhance zoom-in capabilities along with pixel binning technology. Still, there is no reliable news about iPhone 14 hole and pill cutout-shaped front-facing camera. However, if Apple does that, this will be there first attempt of inside screen camera and therefore the quality may degrade relatively compared to previous models.
Sound
Even though the sound quality on iPhone is incredible to enjoy audio-driven entertainment. Some reports on the Apple community claim that iPhone 3 and 4 have low loudness, explaining low score rating.
Later with the launch of the iPhone 7, Apple received a lot of backlash from its users when it removed the 3.5mm headphone jack to make room for performance-oriented tasks and keep the iPhone slim and sleek.
Fortunately, waterproofing and great Bluetooth and wireless audio devices eased the pain.
Apple is always successful in impressing users with its great dedicated technology called iTunes. Steve Job’s vision revolutionized the way people listened to music. Soon after its launch, people never cared to buy CDs and mp3 players in favor of iTunes.
We can predict the pure and rich sound quality in the upcoming iPhone 14. The more exciting part is rumors suggest there will be all new value-added accessibility features with an advanced version of Apple Music.
Battery
A significant battery performance boost can be seen from iPhone 6 onwards. Apple battled to maintain up-sizing battery capacity from model 6 upto model 12 and yet maintaining the sleekness and space for performance-oriented hardware.
The obvious reasons of the increase in battery size capacity is due to the demanding software+hardware, especially modem to support 4G and 5G and GPU for high-end games/applications.
The company also introduced a battery health feature in iOS 11.3 to indicate battery lifetime condition and automatically recommends when it needs replacing.
Apple fans can expect considerable improvements with the new energy-efficient 5G chipset, which consumes less power. Rumors also claimed that the 6nm 5G chip is smaller, allowing more room for a bigger battery.
Durability
The trend-line suggests the iPhone 3 and iPhone 4 were durable just to handle some scratches. Following the iPhone 7 and above, the company uplifted the durability by adding waterproofing features.
Later, Apple introduced one of the toughest screen protections in the iPhone 12 series, the Ceramic shield. It is a step beyond the glass and 4x stronger than previous models making the iPhone 12 more shatter-resistant. The company claimed to include nanoceramics crystals within the glass matrix to improve toughness dramatically.
Latest rumors tease Apple might utilize a titanium alloy chassis in the new iPhone 14 which will further enhance the durability. If this happens, Apple will become the first company to use titanium alloy in design.
Privacy
Apple has a history of protecting the privacy of its users. Apple has now become a benchmark in terms of top-notch security.
It is almost impossible to hack an iPhone with the most advanced built-in security and privacy protection system. Manufactured and controlled by Apple, unlike an open-source operating system that collects and sells user data.
That prompted Apple to add an app tracking transparency feature in iOS 14.5 and an anti-stalking feature with Apple Airtag. This is also true for the upcoming Apple releases later this year in terms of security and privacy
