Alright so we’re now getting closer and closer to the release of the iPhone 14 lineup,
and based on all of the leaks and rumors that we’ve been seeing from very reliable sources,
I’m confident that TONS of people are gonna upgrade to
the iPhone 14 Pro, despite still having a Lightning port in 2022!
So in this video, I’m gonna be going through the various reasons why the iPhone 14 Pro
is gonna be revolutionary while at the same time fixing a bunch of the problems that people have
with the current iPhone 13 lineup, leading to record amounts of sales
and a lot of happy customers, so before I get into the #1 ground-breaking feature
that will get people to upgrade, I want to go through the other very important features!
First of all, one of the biggest ones that people have been asking for for years now
is a larger display with ironically less of the features, and that’s exactly what we’re
expecting because this year’s iPhone lineup is getting a complete revamp!
We’ve been seeing from multiple reliable sources over the past few
months that Apple will be adding a brand new iPhone 14 Max model into the lineup,
which is essentially gonna be a basic iPhone 14 but with a larger display.
And since it’s not gonna be packing all of the Pro features like the on the 14 Pro Max model,
we’re expecting the price of this new 14 Max
to be set at $899, which will be a huge $300 off compared to that Pro Max model.
And because of the larger size, it’s obviously gonna have MUCH
better battery life the regular 14, so it’ll be the best bang for the buck iPhone
if you really care about battery life and display quality.
And yes, this new 14 Max model does mean that Apple’s mini model is finally going away for
GOOD because of lower than expected sales over the past couple of years,
and I personally think that this new Max model is gonna sell like hotcakes.
Now making everything even better, we’ve had multiple sources like shrimpapplepro as well as
others actually leak the schematics showing off the specifics of what we should expect,
pointing to awesome details like the earpiece speaker on the 14
Pro models being 3x thinner than the current one.
But the best thing that ShrimpApplePro leaked was the pill + hole cutout on the Pro models
which will FINALLY be replacing the notch that has stuck around since the iPhone X,
and based on all of the mockups done online of how it would look,
as well as our own custom renders made by Rendersbyshailesh which were based on
shrimp’s CADs, I think the 14 Pro models are gonna be the most beautiful iPhones we’ve seen in years!
And the best part is that multiple sources like Ross Young and Mark Gurman totally agreed
with Shrimp’s leaks which basically confirms that this will be the design
we see this year, especially since the actual display glass parts
have been leaked showing off the design of each model which I’ll get into in just a moment.
And Ross Young even recently released the official screen sizes of the models,
showing that the 14 Pro will have a slightly larger 6.12” display compared to 6.06 inches,
and the 14 Pro max will have a 6.69” display compared to 6.68,
which means that each one will get slightly taller with slimmer bezels.
And we even recently started to see aluminum mock models of the entire iPhone 14 lineup
showing off the four models, as well as some MAJOR differences on the back.
First of all, the camera bumps on the 14 Pro models are absolutely MASSIVE,
and that’s because we’re expecting the biggest camera update we’ve seen on the iPhone EVER,
but before I get into that, I’ve gotta talk about the Lightning port situation.
Yes, at this point, we’re already expecting USB-C to come next year with the iPhone 15 lineup, so it
might seem like everyone is gonna hold off, but that’s not actually true, so let me explain why.
First of all, the majority of common people don’t really care about which port
comes on the iPhone, it’s usually just the tech enthusiasts that care.
But thankfully, I believe that the Lightning port on the 14 Pro models is actually gonna
get a huge update this year, allowing it to transfer data at USB3.0 speeds, which will
fix the biggest issue people are having with the iPhone 13 lineup, which is slow transfer speeds.
So even though we’re not getting USB-C this year, Lightning will at least be getting a big upgrade
on the Pro models where it’s gonna matter the most because of the significantly ugpraded cameras.
But wait, the ugprades don’t stop there because we have
even more leaks concerning EVEN better features!
Ming-chi Kuo recently reported that the front camera on ALL four of the new iPhone 14 models
is gonna get an upgrade to support autofocus and a faster F1.9 aperture,
which will give it a few different benefits.
First of all, the faster F1.9 aperture compared to the current
F2.2 on the iPhone 13 lineup means that the selfie camera will take in quite a bit more
light, which means better quality photos with less noise, especially in dim environments.
Not only that, but the faster aperture also increases the depth of field,
which basically means that the background will look more blurry, and that will actually help
the software take better portrait selfies with more accurate cutouts.
And now the biggest differences we’re expecting
are actually gonna come to the Pro models, so let’s focus on those.
In terms of the displays, the big difference we’re expecting is that the refresh rate
will be able to go down to 1hz, which means that it should easily be able to support
an always-on display which is what I’ve been asking for for years!
And because we’re finally ditching the notch and getting the dual-cutouts, the bezels on
the Pro models are gonna be thinner than ever before, giving us even more screen real estate!
And in terms of performance, we’re expecting the new high-end A16 chip to come to the Pro models,
which will be built on TSMC’s 4nm process, being even more efficient and more powerful, and
hopefully Apple gives it a better cooling system, potentially vapor chamber cooling which Apple has
reportedly been testing this year, so hopefully we stop having overheating issues while gaming!
But the main revolutionary feature we’re expecting is a brand new 48MP main camera
on the back, which is the main reason why the camera bumps are absolutely massive
on the Pro models compared to the regular ones.
And the beauty of the 48MP camera is that it’s gonna greatly increase the quality
due to using a new much larger sensor, and Apple is rumored to be using pixel binning
for night time and dimly light photos to make sure it takes in the most amount of light.
And because of the 48MP sensor, it’s gonna support 8K video which I think will blow away
any other 8K video on the market because I believe Apple’s gonna be using ProRes to shoot 8K because
the A15 chip already comes with ProRes encoders and decoders, so the A16 will for sure as well.
And the biggest worry people had about 8K video was the lack of USB-C,
but once again, I believe the Lightning port will be upgraded to support faster
transfer speeds so it won’t really be that big of an issue this year.
And even though this year’s iPhone 14 Pro isn’t getting a full redesign,
we are still expecting it to come with titanium instead of stainless steel,
which means it could be getting a bit lighter while also being very tough.
And along with all of the other upgrades, we’re expecting updates specs like WiFi 6E,
Bluetooth 5.2, a new 5G RF chip that’s more efficienct,
satellite connectivity, better speakers, better microphones and more!
And based on our own renders, I believe a LOT of people are gonna love the look of the
iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, especially if there’s a chance it comes in this new copper/bronze color.
But if you totally disagree with me and think that it’s NOT worth upgrading this year
because of the lack of USB-C, let me know down in the comment section below,
