According to a rumor from Ross Young, the iPhone 14 Pro could increase in size from 6.06 inches to 6.12 inches, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max from 6.68 to 6.69 inches. While the named sizes may not change, the precise measurements cold.
In contrast, the standard iPhone 14 models are now tipped to get a 90Hz display, which would be an upgrade over the 60Hz of the iPhone 13 but not quite up there with the Pro phones.Īccording to the rumors so far, the iPhone 14 Pro will stick with a 6.1-inch display and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will stick with the 6.7-inch display of its predecessor. A leak from Shadow_Leak says that the iPhone 14 Pro will come in the same display sizes that we got with the iPhone 13 Pro. But there’s scope for a next-gen LTPO panel to be used, as seen in the OnePlus 10 Pro, which could improve power efficiency. We’re not expecting this to change with the iPhone 13 Pro going by the rumors so far. Thanks to the use of an LTPO panel, the screen could go from 120Hz to as little as 10Hz when a fast refresh rate was needed, and thus that helped save on battery life.
One of the biggest upgrades of the iPhone 13 Pro delivered was a 120Hz dynamic refresh rate display.

Meanwhile Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that Apple will switch the iPhone to USB-C, but not until late 2023. Unfortunately, Apple is unlikely to abandon Lightning unless it has to, given how established the standard, and its ecosystem of accessories already is. This can make it very difficult to charge your phone. In fact, the Lightning connector is arguably the worst thing about the iPhone, as it can wear out over time.
That comes as the EU moves closer to making USB-C the standard charger for portable devices like the phones.įor some people, USB-C on the iPhone 14 Pro would be a must-have feature. However more recent rumors claim there Apple will stick with Lightning over USB-C but switch to updated Lightning ports with faster USB 3.0 data transfer. There are rumors that suggest Apple would finally go the USB-C port route with the iPhone 14 Pro, and that would make sense as many of its devices already have USB-C connectivity.

A Chinese leaker claimed that alongside the familiar Graphite, Silver and Gold Pro iPhone colors, the new option for this year would be a dark purple. We've only had one leak address the color options for the iPhone 14 Pro, and it's been deleted. it works remarkably well, meaning Apple may have bypassed the need for fingerprint-centric biometrics. This would have been pretty disappointing, as during these mask-wearing times, having an alternative to Face ID is very handy.īut with iOS 15.4, Apple has made it so that Face ID can recognize a legitimate user even when they are wearing a mask. Analyst Ming Chi-Kuo reckons that there won't be an iPhone with Touch ID, or under-display Face ID, for another few years. However, the jury is still out on how likely this is. There were some early rumors that Touch ID could make a return in the form of an under-display fingerprint scanner.
This relatively significant leap in launch price would certainly sting the wallet of anyone hoping to score a high-end next-gen iPhone 14.Īnother leaker, Shadow_Leak, has posted on Twitter that he also expects the regular iPhone 14 Pro to cost $1,099.ĭo also check out our early look at the iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro - get ready for the biggest differences in years. And the iPhone 14 Pro Max may see a similar increase, with it hitting $1,199. If true, the iPhone 14 Pro would start at $1,099, which is a $100 hike over the $999 iPhone 13 Pro. The somewhat reliable leaker LeaksApplePro has claimed three of the four iPhone 14 models are tipped for a price hike, but it's definitely just a rumor. That includes possibly ditching one supplier who wasn't making components up to Apple's standards, although that hopefully won't cause a delay to the phone's production. Given the disruption the coronavirus pandemic has caused on supply chains, Apple appears to be taking action to mitigate the risk of the iPhone 14 range hitting long wait times due to manufacturing disruption among its major suppliers. That date seems to track with other rumors and Apple's general cadence of iPhone launches. The most recent leak has the iPhone 14 launch tipped for September 13, supposedly based on insider information.
