hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and every year apple ramps up to build a new iphone and
every year right before they do that there's usually releases of different models so case
manufacturers can actually manufacture their products around the overall dimensions of what
apple's going to produce and so this year's no exception we've been covering this for many years
so we'll take a look at the overall iphone lineup their designs just like we did years ago with
the 12 mini and every single year and thanks to sonny dixon for helping me get my hands on these
and so this year as you can see there's four different iphones but they're different sizes
than previously just like many people suggested it looks like apple will no longer have a mini
sized iphone so where the iphone 13 mini would be the last size last time we had this size and
as you can see here we have the iphone 14 14 plus or 14 max the naming is a little unsure
then the 14 pro and the 14 pro max so no longer will we have a mini so we'll have basically two
different sizes with different specs or different cameras as well as maybe as a few other things now
like i said there's three different sizes and it's expected to have different screen sizes as well
the iphone 14 is expected to have the same sort of 6.1 inch display on the front
also still have the notch now these models only show the speaker placement like we had before
just like the years before where they moved it with the iphone 13 it's the same sort of speaker
placement now however when we get over to the pro models the speakers in the same spot but you don't
see any camera cut out and that's because this is expected to have a hole punch and pill design so
we won't have that sort of cut out but we will have a different screen size because of that
meaning that the 14 pro model would be from 6.12 inches instead of 6.06 inches and the iphone 14
pro max would be 6.69 inches instead of 6.68 inches if the different rumors are correct
so very small size differences you won't notice it but possibly due to the new architecture and maybe
even getting those bezels a little bit thinner now the overall design is very similar so we'll take a
look at the plus model we'll just call it that for now and you can see that it will have an anodized
aluminum outside edge the button placement is very similar to that of the pro model the current model
which again has that sort of shiny gloss where it would be stainless steel
however based on this you can see the power button on the pro max model is slightly below that of the
the plus sized iphone 14. so the button placement might be slightly different there on the bottom
you can expect the same sort of ports now with the recent ruling in the eu or the european union
it depends on how quickly apple has to implement this but we could see these with lightning or
usbc but basically since they've already started manufacturing these for the most part or gotten
everything ready i would expect lightning this year with usbc next year but you never know what
apple will do with that but you can expect the same sort of speaker layout that we have now and
then on the other side it looks like we're going to have a sim card tray now many people said that
the sim card tray was going to go away on maybe the pro models but it's hard to say is sometimes
this is just a stamping to give placement but it's possible that they won't have one on the pro max
models button placement is very similar though the same volume up and down buttons with the silent
switch above that usually every single year apple ramps these up for three years production and then
they'll switch the design after that so maybe with the iphone 15 we'll have a different design
now with the overall sizes like i said they're very similar to what we already have
and apple may go back to that plus size naming where we had the iphone 6 plus and 6s plus
they may incorporate that to say that this isn't the pro and it's not the max or the best of the
best but it is a larger size so it's possible we would have that size also for a current size
comparison you can expect very similar sizes so if we take a look at the current 13 pro max it
again gives you the size of the camera but the camera bump looks even larger this time around
so the size of the phone is basically the same with the same thicknesses and everything else
although this model does feel maybe slightly thicker which could mean more room for things
inside but the overall camera bump does seem to be a little bit bigger where it's expected to have a
bump in camera resolution with 8k recording on the pro models with maybe a 48 megapixel camera so you
would need additional space for that and this may reflect it as previous years didn't really show
these camera bumps very well if we take a look at the prototype model from last year you'll see
that it didn't really show what the bump looked like at all but this time around we can see the
bump very clearly so it looks like maybe they have that correct this time around and the bad news for
that is it would mean it wouldn't fit the current cases again so here's a current 13 pro max case if
i put that on it doesn't fit properly around the camera bump that means that the camera module is
getting bigger and they will need to remanufacture new cases so you'll have to buy new cases if you
get a new phone this time around if we take a look again at last year's you'll see that it
actually fits properly so there's definitely going to be a bigger camera bump this time around and it
will look a little different so if you wanted to keep your cases well it looks like every single
year at this point we're going to have to upgrade those as apple keeps changing the camera bump in
addition to the rear-facing camera getting a huge upgrade the front-facing camera is also expected
to get an upgrade currently it's a 12-megapixel camera however that's said to be getting upgraded
on all of the different models where instead we would have maybe the same megapixels but a much
larger sensor allowing for better low light photo and video or maybe just a larger sensor with even
better megapixels as well so that sort of lineup would be great to see as i think apple's fallen
behind a little bit on the forward-facing cameras compared to others the rear-facing cameras are
definitely the best when it comes to video of any camera out there when it comes to a phone
camera but when it comes to the forward-facing camera i would love to see that improved so it's
been similar for many many years at this point it would be great to have an upgrade now as far as
what the colors may be it looks like the blue or sierra blue may be replaced with a purple
that's been the latest rumor although last year many thought we'd have an orange color or sort of
burnt orange color that we never saw so it's very possible we could just have another shade
of blue or something else but it would be nice to see some additional colors as well
now with the non-pro lineup i would expect to still have an oled display at very high resolution
however it's unclear whether or not it will have pro motion with a 120 hertz display so it will
be very similar as far as specs other than maybe that but it's possible we could have an always on
display on the 14 pro and pro max models this is based on code that was found in ios 16 it seems
but we don't know that for sure as people have stated that but we don't know that 100
that's just been reported here and there on different websites so it's possible that we could
have something such as an always-on display where they could ramp the display speed up and down
maybe one hertz like they do on the watch then bring it all the way up to 120 hertz
so it's something they do on the watch they could definitely implement that kind of a
variable refresh rate display on the 14 pro and pro max now as far as the overall designs like
i said we're not going to see a major change year over year but we could see some changes
to the internals with the 14 pro it's expected that the pro models will get the a16 cpu so that
could be called an a16 bionic where the regular models will still have the a15 from last year
meaning that it's plenty fast but possibly more ram up to six six gigs of ram and every single
one of them so it's possible we could have that also improved 5g and then when it comes to prices
prices may increase slightly due to the current economy we don't know that for sure but it's
possible we could have a slight bump however in the past when that's been rumored it's
never been true so they've kept prices the same across all of the lineup so hopefully they can
do that this time around as far as the release date of these different models i would expect
mid-september however they could split these up again like they did with the iphone 12 models
or maybe we had some release in september some in october i personally prefer that as a reviewer it
makes it easier for me and sometimes easier for people to get their hands on them as they're sort
of spread out over time but either way we can expect them usually in the fall or autumn now
the devices could have better batteries in them if they are slightly thicker like i mentioned before
but that would give additional screen on time we already have phenomenal screen on time with the
iphone 13 pro max we could see even better with the 14 pro max if it is indeed thicker or the
chipset is even smaller so maybe we'll see that or we could have similar battery life which i don't
think anyone's complaining about at this point but that's everything as far as the 2022 iphone
14 models this gives you a general understanding of what the cameras will look like the overall
bumps on the back you'll see they're fairly thick on the pros but pretty much what you expect now
with all the different models from the mini as far as the camera module and everything else and
so that's everything for the iphone 14 lineup usually these are pretty spot on as far as the
overall dimensions where the buttons are placed and more and you can expect the similar sort of
layout here no differences whatsoever as far as the overall outsides compared to what we have now
for the most part and basically very similar looks and then we'll have a major design change
usually after this year with the iphone 15 like i said earlier but if you have anything else you
think they'll change in this i'd love to hear from you in the comments below and if you're
planning on maybe picking up an iphone 14 i'd love to hear from you there as well and which
size you would get or a pro or the plus model or whatever they're going to call this let me know
