There is only one week left to know the iPhone 13; Nevertheless, Jon prosser, one of the most important and trusted figures when it comes to Apple product leaks, revealed the design changes along with renders of the iPhone 14, a phone that could be presented in September 2022.
Goodbye to notch, but not to Face ID
One of the things that Prosser clarifies is that at the moment he only has details about the design of the phone, not about specific components or sensors that will accompany the Apple family of phones in 2022, since it is believed that this year the company will launch its first SoC with a 3 nanometer lithographic process.
At the design level, the main change from the current design will be that there will be no notch. Instead Apple will use the hole in the screen that Android manufacturers have been using on their best phones for a couple of years.
The above does not mean that the Cupertino firm will say goodbye to the infrared facial recognition system that we know as Face ID, but in this model those sensors will be below the screen and will work in the same way as they do now.
According to Mark Gurman, Apple is testing the Touch ID under the screen, but the Bloomberg journalist assures that this is not a guarantee that the iPhone in the future will include a fingerprint sensor again, especially if the results of its operation do not they pass the quality standards of the Cupertino firm.
A titanium body
Titanium is one of the materials that many sources argue will be in an Apple product in the coming months. It is speculated that the Apple Watch will be the first team with a titanium body, although it has also been mentioned that there will be an iPad with this material.
Prosser assures that the iPhone 14s (probably only the Pro models) will be made with a titanium chassis, which will make them more resistant and elegant.
The only problem with titanium is that it costs a lot more money to get it, so making products with this material can be counterproductive to the company’s sustainability plans.
Hello … Lightning?
A detail that even surprised Prosser himself is that the iPhone 14 will continue to use a Lightning port and not USB-C, this despite the fact that in the European Union they want USB-C to be the mandatory port for all manufacturers.
Prosser says he verified this data up to 3 times with his sources, who assured him that the Lightning will continue to be present in 2022 phones.
Although there is still a long time to go before the presentation of the iPhone 14 or iPhone 2022, it is important to mention that the design and manufacturing process of a phone can take more than 8 months, so it is not unreasonable to think that Apple already has several decisions made. regarding the design and characteristics of the iPhone of 2022.
