It is finally that
time of the year where every
Apple fan look forward to the release of the tech
giants next big product – and is met with rumors and leaks that, to them, are
akin to a fine appetizer before a feast.

In the last
couple of months, plenty of rumors have arisen about Apple’s latest
developments in the smartphone world; I
have made sure to scour through the internet to present to you the most
up-to-date and credible info that is bound to let you hone in on what to expect
out of Apple’s next big release.
Let us then
embark on discovering what the next
iPhone holds in storage for its loyal fanbase.
Size always matters
Apple themselves have confirmed that the sizes of the upcoming iPhone
14 are going to be changing quite significantly compared to their predecessors,
more specifically. Apple has officially eliminated the 5.4 inch screen variant,
which many will know as the iPhone mini, as according to Apple it was a
relatively unpopular phone. As a result, the smallest phone in their upcoming
lineup will feature a 6.1 inch screen starting off at the baseline variant,
with the largest being 6.7 inches for the iPhone Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
While this may
be off putting for fans of more humble-sized devices, as carrying around a
smartphone the size of a small brick may be uncomfortable for some, the
tradeoff is that Apple is likely to divert R&D efforts from that device
unto their other devices.
The controversial notch is about to disappear
Back in 2017 along with the release of the
iPhone X, Apple introduced
the notch which we now all see at the top of every iPhone screen released
thereafter. Initially this notch was extremely unpopular, with many users
citing the fact that it covered up a small yet annoyingly noticeable portion of
the screen.
However, over
the course of the last couple of releases, most Apple users began to accept the
notch and the fires of debate died down. With the upcoming launch, it has been
confirmed that certain iPhone models will no longer feature a notch and instead
will have a smooth non-interrupted screen. While this is not particularly
ground breaking, it does mean that that the overall design of the phone will
change – indicating that for a long while the iPhone may actually be looking to
innovate its look slightly.
While there is
no confirmation with regard to which models will go ahead with this change, it
is highly likely that the
Pro and Pro Max variants of the phone will be the
ones to once and for all create a seamless screen viewing experience.
This does
however beg the question: what is going to replace the notch?
Some unconfirmed
rumors state that a circular punch-out hole type of camera will replace the
notch.
Built like a Titan
According to multiple credible sources, the new iPhones will be built
with a titanium frame that will also feature new grills on the speakers and
microphones. As a result of the new chips creating a significant amount of
heat, Apple is most likely going to be using the vapor chamber thermal system
in order to offset the heat generated as a result of increased performance.
A photographer’s
dream
As always with every new iPhone release, cameras are going to be
getting an upgrade. Confirmed improvements have been announced for the iPhone
14’s ultrawide camera, and there are rumors about a periscope zoom lens that
enables higher levels of zoom with higher clarity than its predecessors.
iPhone 14 Pro
and iPhone 14 Pro Max variants of the phone may also finally see 48-megapixel
cameras that enable 8K video recording capabilities, which is a definite boost
in value for those that are keen on maintaining a sharply shot gallery.
120 HZ display – an exclusive feature
Unfortunately, the rumored 120 HZ display that was rumored to be
present with all of the releases of the iPhone 14 are simply that – rumors.
That being said
however, the Pro and Pro Max variants will indeed feature the
ProMotion technology that supports 120 HZ refresh rates on the screen. The lack of the
feature in the lower tiers of the phone are most likely attributed to a
shortage of displays in the market, as outlined by an industry analyst Ross
Young.
Lightning
port – worry some future
There have been rumors and speculation around Apple removing the
lightning port – and while the upcoming launch has not confirmed the fact that
all phones will lack the port, it is in fact an inevitable future where Apple
would eventually get rid of it.
For many, this
brings with it a number of challenges. For starters, users who often charge
their phones in their cars will now have to always carry their mag-safe
chargers around with them, it also means that if your charger runs out, you are
in trouble.
Additionally, in
terms of electronic waste, this would mean that many chargers all around the
world would instantly be rendered useless – and this would dramatically spike
the total consumer electronic waste around the globe.
With Apple being so
“forward-thinking” – this begs the questions whether or not they truly are.
