A schema ic leaked i Feb ua y allegedly shows he display se up of he iPho e 14 P o a d claims o p ovide a look a he ac ual size of he wo cu ou s ha will eplace he o ch.

Based o he schema ics, iPho e 14 P o Max will be 77.58mm wide, which is ea ly ide ical o he 13 P o Max’s wid h of 78.1mm. I will measu e i a 160.7mm high, he same heigh as he 13 P o Max, a d i is expec ed o be 7.85mm hick, jus a bi hicke ha he iPho e 13 P o Max a 7.65mm.

Though some umo s have sugges ed ha 120Hz ef esh a es could be added o all iPho e 14 models, display A alys Ross You g believes ha his is is ‘ goi g o happe because of display availabili y issues.

Apple is sou ci g LTPO OLED displays fo he iPho e 14 P o models o allow fo 120Hz P oMo io ef esh a es. Though Samsu g supplied he OLED pa els ha Apple used fo he iPho e 13 P o models, Apple is pla i g o also sou ce some displays f om LG Display a d BOE i 2022.

The e will be o 5.4-i ch iPho e i 2022 because Apple is doi g away wi h he mi i li e followi g lacklus e sales. The iPho e 13 mi i will be he las of he mi i pho es, a d goi g fo wa d, Apple is expec ed o focus o la ge -sized iPho es i he a ge of 6.1 o 6.7 i ches fo i s flagship devices.

Apple has used he same colo fo he s a da d iPho e a d P o models befo e, bu ypically i diffe e shades, so ha could be wha we see i 2022 if he pu ple umo is accu a e.

Apple’s upcomi g iPho e 14 P o models could come wi h a high-e d i a ium alloy chassis desig , acco di g a i ves o s epo f om JP Mo ga Chase. Apple has used i a ium fo he Apple Wa ch, bu his would ma k he fi s ime ha he ma e ial has bee used fo a iPho e.

Cooli g

S a i g i 2022, high-e d iPho e models a e likely o adop a vapo chambe he mal sys em, which Apple is said o be agg essively es i g.

The e a e al eady sma pho es f om compa ies like Samsu g, Raze , a d LG ha use vapo chambe cooli g ech ology, which is used o keep a device coole whe i is u de heavy s ess.

I is u clea if he vapo chambe he mal sys em will mee Apple’s high equi eme s, bu Apple is wo ki g o imp ovi g i a d high-e d models could adop i i he ea fu u e.

The 2022 iPho es could see imp oveme s o he Ul a Wide came a, a d Apple is expec ed o i oduce imp oveme s o he elepho o a d wide-a gle le s o iPho e 14 P o models. Apple a alys Mi g-Chi Kuo says says ha Apple will upg ade he elepho o came a f om a 6-eleme le s o a 7-eleme le s.

The 48-megapixel came a umo ed fo he iPho e 14 P o models will also be able o ake 12-megapixel sho s, likely h ough a p ocess k ow as pixel-bi i g. Pixel bi i g me ges da a f om mul iple smalle pixels o he came a’s image se so i o o e supe -pixel fo imp oved low-ligh se si ivi y.

A Twi e leake  VNchocoTaco, AKA Sh impAppleP o, published alleged CAD e de s a d alleged p ecise measu eme s of he iPho e 14 P o Max.

You g a d a alys fi m Display Supply Chai Co sul a s have o ce agai hamme ed home he idea of a iPho e 14 P o wi h dual came as cu ou s. Howeve , he s a da d iPho e will eed o wai a o he yea befo e i ge s a o ch-less display, which helps o fu he boos he appeal of goi g p o wi h he ex iPho e. 

A o he sui e of CAD e de s have give us ye a o he as e of wha he iPho e 14 P o could look like wi h a o ch-less desig . The somewha asymme ical look seems a he u -Apple bu i s defi i ely dis i c ive. 

Ou bes look a wha all he desig cha ges add up o ca be see i some iPho e 14 mock-ups pos ed by Alibaba a d sha ed by Maco aka a. I he case of he iPho e 14 models, you o o ly see he wo cu ou s o he f o display, bu he la ge came a module — Maco aka a epo s ha iPho e 13 P o cases wo ‘ fi he iPho e 14 P o because of ha bigge module.

The e we e some ea ly umo s ha Touch ID could make a e u i he fo m of a u de -display fi ge p i sca e . Howeve , he ju y is s ill ou o how likely his is. A alys Mi g Chi-Kuo ecko s ha he e wo ‘ be a iPho e wi h Touch ID, o u de -display Face ID, fo a o he few yea s. This would have bee p e y disappoi i g, as du i g hese mask-wea i g imes, havi g a al e a ive o Face ID is ve y ha dy.

Bu wi h iOS 15.4, Apple has made i so ha Face ID ca ecog ize a legi ima e use eve whe hey a e wea i g a mask. i wo ks ema kably well, mea i g Apple may have bypassed he eed fo fi ge p i -ce ic biome ics.

We’ve o ly had o e leak add ess he colo op io s fo he iPho e 14 P o, a d i ‘s bee dele ed. A Chi ese leake claimed ha alo gside he familia G aphi e, Silve a d Gold P o iPho e colo s, he ew op io fo his yea would be a da k pu ple.

iPho e 14 P o USB-C

The e a e umo s ha sugges Apple will fi ally go he USB-C po ou e wi h he iPho e 14 P o, which would make se se as ma y of i s devices al eady have USB-C co ec ivi y. Howeve mo e ece umo s claim he e Apple will s ick wi h Ligh i g ove USB-C bu swi ch o upda ed Ligh i g po s wi h fas e USB 3.0 da a a sfe . Tha comes as he EU moves close o maki g USB-C he s a da d cha ge fo po able devices like he pho es.

Fo some people, USB-C o he iPho e 14 P o would be a mus -have fea u e. I fac , he Ligh i g co ec o is a guably he wo s hi g abou he iPho e , as i ca wea ou ove ime. This ca make i ve y difficul o cha ge you pho e. U fo u a ely, Apple is u likely o aba do Ligh i g u less i has o, give how es ablished he s a da d, a d i s ecosys em of accesso ies al eady is.

iPho e 14 P o display

O e of he bigges upg ades of he iPho e 13 P o delive ed was a 120Hz dy amic ef esh a e display. Tha ks o he use of a LTPO pa el, he sc ee could go f om 120Hz o as li le as 10Hz whe a fas ef esh a e was eeded, a d hus ha helped save o ba e y life. 

We’ e o expec i g his o cha ge wi h he iPho e 13 P o goi g by he umo s so fa . Bu he e’s scope fo a ex -ge LTPO pa el o be used, as see i he O ePlus 10 P o, which could imp ove powe efficie cy. 

Acco di g o he umo s so fa , he iPho e 14 P o will s ick wi h a 6.1-i ch display a d he iPho e 14 P o Max will s ick wi h he he 6.7-i ch display of i s p edecesso . A leak f om Shadow_Leak says ha he iPho e 14 P o will come i he same display sizes ha we go wi h he iPho e 13 P o.

iPho e 14 P o came as 

Do ’ expec a big cha ge i he umbe of came as he iPho e 14 P o will b i g, as he P o pho es a e ipped o s ick wi h he s a da d combo of a mai , ul awide a d elepho o a ay. Give how Apple pho es egula ly fea u e i ou bes came a pho es li eup, ha ‘s o bad hi g. 

Bu o e leak has he iPho e 14 P o ipped o ge a 48MP mai came a, which could fi ally make a cha ge f om he 12MP came as Apple has used fo yea s. While Cupe i o’s compu a io al pho og aphy is some of he bes a ou d, havi g mo e megapixels o play wi h would likely give he iPho e 14 P o mo e scope whe i comes o p ocessi g ligh a d de ails; we could be a a ime whe e megapixels ma e o ce mo e o Apple. 

Bu a egula Apple ips e has he s a da d iPho e 14 models ipped o s ick wi h 12MP came as, wi h o ly he P o models expec ed o ge a 48MP mai came a.

No cha ges have bee ou ed fo he ul awide came a, bu we’d be su p ised if some effo was ‘ made o imp ove he field of view a d help emove some edge dis o io . 

A d he e’s scope fo he elepho o came a o ge a zoom boos , as a Apple pa e poi s owa d he compa y wo ki g o a pe iscope-s yle zoom came a. If such a fea u e was goi g o debu i a iPho e, i would be fo he iPho e 14 P o. Bu o muddy he wa e s, Apple o acle Mi g-Chi Kuo claims he pe iscope came a wo ‘ appea u il he iPho e 15 i 2023.

A alys Mi g-Chi Kuo offe s o e of he fi s umo s we’ve hea d abou he f o came a, a d his o e applies o bo h he P o a d s a da d iPho e 14 models. Kuo expec s he f o came a o ge au ofocus, which would imp ove he pic u e o FaceTime calls. The a alys also p edic s a wide ape u e — f1.9 o he iPho e 14 ve sus f2.2 o he cu e iPho e — which could help wi h low-ligh pho os.

iPho e 14 P o specs a d ba e y life  

The e a e o solid umo s abou he iPho e 14 P o’s specs bu i would ’ be ha d o p edic a y ew model have a imp oved chip, as is he case wi h eve y ew iPho e.

Followi g o f om he A15 Bio ic, we’d expec o see a A16 Bio ic chip, wi h imp oved pe fo ma ce ac oss he boa d. Tha chip is expec ed o move f om he 5- a ome e p ocess ode o a 4 m ode. A Apple-made 5G modem could also be a possibili y. 

Esse ially, he iPho e 14 P o is ve y likely o offe a dis i c hike i p ocesso , g aphics a d eu al p ocessi g pe fo ma ce ove he A15 Bio ic. How much ha will be o iceable o he ave age use migh o be so clea , bu do ’ expec he iPho e 14 P o o s uggle wi h a y ask h ow a i . 

Wei dly, Kuo has o ly he iPho e 14 P o a d 14 P o Max ipped o ge he A16 Bio ic, claimi g he iPho e 14 will s ick wi h he A15 chip. This would be a fi s fo Apple as i has always equipped ew iPho es wi h upg aded silico . A seco d leak f om Shadow_Leak co obo a es his. Pe haps he g ea chip sho age of he pas wo yea s may have messed wi h Apple’s supply chai , bu his is jus specula io fo he ime bei g. 

Howeve , hi gs have go mo e co fusi g s ill, as plo has hicke ed he e, wi h a ewe epo , ci i g sou ces i he k ow, claims he iPho e 14 would use he ve sio of he A15 Bio ic chipse ha powe s his yea ‘s iPho e 13 P o models. Tha chip is equipped wi h 6GB of RAM, whe eas he iPho e 13 a d iPho e 13 mi i use 4GB of RAM acco di g o ea dow s. So ha would be a upg ade of so s, bu o he equivale of a full chip upg ade, as such pu i g mo e poi s i o he appeal fac o of he iPho e 14 P o ove he s a da d model. 

A ece leak has claimed he iPho e 14 P o will come wi h 8GB of RAM. As Apple’s app oach o efficie cy has e abled i o do mo e wi h less RAM ha he likes of he Samsu g Galaxy S22 Ul a, boos i g he o boa d RAM could see he iPho e 14 P o become a absolu e powe house. 

Tha bei g said, he cu e iPho e a e ha dly slow, so havi g he ex a RAM migh be see as ove kill. Howeve , a alys Jeff Pu p edic s ha all fou iPho e 14 models will come wi h 6GB of RAM, which seems s a ge o us. 

S o age is likely o go up o 1TB, bu he e have bee o solid s o age umo s fo he iPho e 14 P o ye . 

The e have bee o ba e y size o capaci y umo s ye . Bu we’d be co fide ha he iPho e 14 P o will ma ch o exceed he 11 hou s a d 42 mi u es he iPho e 13 P o did i ou ba e y es , which fo ces he pho e o e dlessly eload web pages o a cellula co ec io u il i dies. The iPho e 13 P o Max ma aged a le g hy 12 hou s a d 16 mi u es, so we’d expec he iPho e 14 P o Max o do he same o be e as Apple boos chip a d pho e efficie cy. 

As fo 5G, we’ e expec i g he iPho e 14 P o o use a ew smalle 5G modem chip. The smalle size should mea i akes less powe o u , a d ha he e could be ex a oom fo he ba e y o expa d i o. Tha would mea he al eady imp essive ba e y life of he iPho e 13 ca be imp oved upo eve mo e. 

Sadly, i ‘s looki g like he iPho e 14 P o migh miss ou o he adva ceme s made by Qualcomm’s ew 5G chip, he S apd ago X70. The chip will i clude a 5G AI p ocesso , he fi s of i s ki d, which should allow he modem sys em o use a ificial i ellige ce o op imize a pho e’s a e a a d be e ma age 5G beams goi g o a d f om a 5G pho e. Qualcomm figu es ha will be pa icula ly useful fo mmWave-based 5G e wo ks i places like s adiums a d a e as, hough AI ca also help ma age sub-6GHz 5G sig als as well. 

I addi io o i s cellula a d Wi-Fi co ec ivi y, he iPho e 14 P o could also gai he abili y o co ec o sa elli e e wo ks. Tha ‘s a fea u e ha fi s eme ged i he build-up o las yea ‘s iPho e 13 lau ch; while he capabili y did ‘ a ive i ime fo hose pho es, eliable ips e s say eme ge cy sa elli e commu ica io s a e a possibili y fo he iPho e 14 models. The idea is ha whe you’ e i a a ea wi hou good cellula o Wi-Fi co ec ivi y, you ca se d ex messages o eme ge cy se vices ove sa elli e e wo ks, ale i g hem o you loca io .

The iPho e 14 P o could be he pho e ma y of us have bee wai i g fo , wi h he P o models ipped o offe a eal evolu io of he iPho es we’ve see ove he pas few yea s.

No o ch, Touch ID, a bigge megapixel cou fo he mai came a, as well as a USB-C po , could eally shake up he iPho e as we k ow i . A d ha would i u have he effec of se i g he s a da d fo o he sma pho es o follow if hey wish o wi a spo o ou bes pho es lis .
