iPhone 14 Pro Leaked: What We Know Thus Far
Apple enthusiasts, lovers, and devoted supporters, such as myself, the time has finally come to that time of the year when the Big Tech software developer uncovers the veil off of its latest iPhone. This year, the iPhone 14 Pro models, same as their predecessors, are highly anticipated. Yet things are slightly different with this one – and no, it’s not the fact that its specs were leaked – as it is set to revamp the typical iPhone design from its forerunner, the iPhone 13 Pro. The iPhone 14 Pro leaked information revealed that Apple is developing new ground rules for what the upcoming iPhone lineup will look like. So, let’s dive right in.
What Is Special About the iPhone 14 Pro?
Based on the leaked information, this year, we will have some of the most significant differences between the non-pro and the pro models, based on the iPhone 14 rumors and reports.
Before we start naming some of the most distinguished iPhone 14 facts and differences, Apple announced that it would be releasing a series of four sizes for its iPhone 14 models.
- iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro will measure 6.1 inches and be launched in the colors purple – which according to one Twitter user, it could shift in tone based on the lighting – green, black, white, blue, and red.
- iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max will measure 6.7 inches and be launched in gold or rose gold, purple, green, graphite, and silver.
- This makes it the first time the iOS developer releases a 6.7 inches non-pro iPhone alongside the iPhone 14 Max.
iPhone 14 Leaks
Design
- For this iPhone’s lineup, the looks will remain relatively the same with its flat edge and body design.
Bionic Chip and Memory
- The iPhone 14 lineup still has a super retina XDR display but no promotion refresh rate at 120 hertz.
- This lineup will maintain its usage of the A15 chip, resulting in a faster CPU, the new 5-Core GPU, a new display engine, and accommodating a quicker neural engine.
- Ports of the iPhone 14 models will have six gigs of RAM, with a similar LPDDR4X Ram as the iPhone 13 lineup.
Camera
- The iPhone 14 lineup camera will have an ultra-wide camera for the super wide shots, used for macro shots for low-light performance.
- The front facing camera will also witness an upgrade in terms of better low-light performance and autofocus capabilities.
- For its main camera, the wide camera is expected to remain the same, with a 12 MegaPixel (MP) camera, 47 percent more light-gathering, 1.6 aperture, 26 mm focal length, 7-element lens, and finally, 100 percent focus pixels.
iPhone 14 Pro Leaks
Design
- The iPhone 14 Pro lineup will have a similar physical design as the iPhone 14. However, the side notch will no longer be there but will be replaced with a pill-shaped hole for the front facing camera.
- This lineup is also expected to bring an all-new super retina XDR all-led display and will be far more advanced, with a refresh rate ranging from 120 Hz to as low as 1Hz.
- Compared to iPhone 13 Pro, which had 120 Hz going as low as 10Hz, this will be quite remarkable in terms of enhancing and increasing energy efficiency.
- Always-on display feature will exist in the new sleep state for the latest Pro models. Users will have a darker and more tinted display. A very similar feature to that of the always-on display feature for the Apple Watch. This enables users to keep an eye on their widgets, wallpaper, and notifications.
Bionic Chip
- The new iPhone 14 Pro models are expected to use a faster next-generation A16 bionic chip that is developed on the same nanometer processor as the A15 bionic chip. It is expected to have a 6-core CPU and at least a 5 Core GPU.
- With two new high-performance cores, four new-high efficiency cores, and a faster neural engine, the iPhone 14 Pro models’ A16 bionic chip will empower a new display engine, new video encoders and decoders, double system cache, and finally, a new image signal processor.
- This means that the iPhone 14 PRO and PRO Max will have a faster RAM and faster processor, with an estimated 15 percent increase in CPU performance and 30 percent in graphic performance.
Memory
- The iPhone 14 Pro models will have a newer and faster type of memory and are expected to feature LPDDR5 RAM for the first time in an iPhone. This will help Apple increase memory bandwidth and a much more accelerated performance compared to the regular iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max.
- This Pro lineup is also expected to have a new vapor chamber to ensure the device will stay cooler and stop it from heating up from overuse. A feature that is similar to gaming Razor phones.
Camera
- iPhone 14 Pro models will have the same improvements in the ultra-wide camera and its front facing camera.
- One new addition, though, will be the new 7-element telephone lens with a 77 mm focal length and 3x optical zoom. This will intensively bring forth a far superior image quality than that of the iPhone 14 lineup.
- The Pro models’ camera is also expected to have a new 48-megapixel wide camera, with a 21 percent larger sensor that will support higher resolution, enhance low light, and auto-focus performance.
Price
The new iPhone 14 Pro leaked information revealed that his lineup would have a higher price, almost by a $100 increase with the new iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models.
According to released reports, the iPhone 14 lineup prices will range from almost $800 to $1199, priced as follows:
- iPhone 14 price is estimated at $799
- iPhone 14 Pro price is estimated at $1099
- iPhone 14 Pro Max is estimated at $1199
Also, any increase in storage tiers will also play a significant factor in increasing the pricing range for each lineup to range between $1599 and $1699.
