iPhone 14 Discussion Thread

For all discussion on the iPhone 14, due to be released in September 2022.

As of January 2022, the current rumours are:

- The Pro models "Notch" finally being removed and instead a smaller pill shaped area at the top of the screen.
The big notch bugged me, I will be glad to see a smaller area being used.

- 48 Mega Pixel camera on the iPhone 14 Pro.

- New iPhone design, possibly using Titanium.

Apple is expected to announce four new iPhone 14 models in September, including a 6.1-inch iPhone 14, 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max, 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, and 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max, with a 48-megapixel camera available on the latter two devices.

Are you tempted? What are you looking forward to?

This thread is for all discussion about Apples newest device arriving in September 2022.

I hope they will finally make a 144 hz display, also I hope they will return touch ID, face ID does not always work especially when you are wearing mask. Maybe they will be able to integrate their chip M1 in the iPhone, it could be really awesome

Need to have a >120hz screen.

The M1 chip is a cousin of the A chips in the iPhone, it was from the work there they eventually arrived at the M chip. I don't think we'll see it in the iPhone as their current chipsets are more than fast enough already in the phone.

Unclear atm.

I predict it will, of course, be more expensive than any previous iPhone.

I am mostly interested in the camera as use it all the time so the increase in mega pixels is very welcome. However if they are keeping the sensor size the same then it is likely they will use pixel binning to join a larger pixel but lower megapixel image with the higher megapixel but smaller pixel image.
They may also have an issue with low light so Im hoping that isnt an issue.

I can't wait for all the VM emails begging me to buy one

Yeah, this is my concern. Apple has generally been good at avoiding the big numbers game and doing something that gets good pictures. iPhone pictures as a result had way less noise than other phones early on where their competitors posted gazillion megapixels but it looked awful.
