No more notch on the iPhone 14, well almost
If the design of this new iPhone 14 should not change much, there are still some improvements. The first is on the iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro models, the notch should disappear, to make room for two pills for Face ID sensors and the front camera.
was able to be confirmed to us by our journalist who is at the IFA in Berlin. On a stand, a manufacturer of smartphone cases showed a whole stand with the protections for all the new versions of the iPhone 14.
In a last leak, it even seems that Apple has decided to combine the two pills into one. In the dark space between the two, we would find an indicator to know if the microphone or the camera is used by an application.
We also have a leak showing that we would have an iPhone 14 Max. Not a Pro Max, but a simple Max. In addition of course to the classic iPhone 14. It is therefore the disappearance, following only two generations, of the mini version, very popular in Europe.
The new design and screen of the iPhone 14
- If visually the changes are not visible, it will not be necessary to rely on the hull of the iPhone 13 to go on that of the iPhone 14. Indeed, the new iPhone should take a little in size and weight. Its thickness should therefore pass from 7.65mm to 7.85mm for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
- Another rumor suggests that the iPhone 14 Pro will have an Always on mode, allowing you to have the time always displayed on the screen for example. A function that would go hand in hand with ProMotion technology, which adapts the refresh rate of the panel, to save battery. With the OLED screen, this also allows you to keep only the pixels necessary to display the time on.
Apple puts the package on the photo of the iPhone 14
The photo will probably be the main argument for switching to an iPhone 14 Pro. We should find, only on the Pro version, a 48 megapixel sensor, capable of delivering videos in 8K. This change of sensor should force Apple to review its image processing, to optimize it as well as possible for the photo module. With such resolution, we will have Pixel binning, which consists of improving the quality by dividing the resolution by four.
The pixel size of the ultra wide-angle sensor should also grow. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the best Apple leakers, the pixels would pass from 1 to 1.4 microns. The advantage is to capture more light.
The price and release date of the iPhone 14
This is probably the first thing you want to know regarding the new iPhones. The iPhone 14 Pro should reach 1259 euros and the iPhone Pro max 1359 euros. For comparison, this is a higher rate than the monthly net minimum wage for a 35-hour contract.
At the same time, a latest leak has just announced a price increase of 50 dollars and not 100.
The two classic models of the iPhone 14 should drop in price. They would pass like this below the 900 euro mark. But prices can be decided at the last moment, so it’s hard to be sure of the final price. This is the only question mark of the iPhone 14.
As for the release date of the iPhone 14, the Apple Keynote will be held on September 7 in Cupertino at 7 p.m. French time. For the official sale, it usually takes place the following week or even the second week. We can therefore say that the new iPhone 14 will be available around September 16.
