Apple seeks to reduce production costs
At the end of September, we learned that the iPhone 14 should offer a completely different design from its predecessor, the iPhone 13, which has just been released by Apple. For the first time, the Pro versions ship up to 1 TB of storage. This excess storage accompanies the arrival of the ProRes video format, a codec intended for seasoned videographers. This format is particularly storage-intensive, so much so that the 128 GB versions cannot film in 4K.
According to the media, Apple aims touse QLC flash storage (quad-level cell) NAND with its future iPhone 14. This technology makes it possible to offer increased memory capacity without having to increase the storage size. Finally, QLC NAND flash storage is cheaper to produce than TLC or MLC technologies. Apple could offer smartphones with more storage, without exploding costs. However, it could be that this storage system is a little slower than the one currently in use.
A complete overhaul for the iPhone 14
The 2022 models would have a whole new design including the removal of the notch to have a hole housing the front camera. The sensors for Face ID would be under the screen. Other sources also mention the return of Touch ID, four years after being abandoned for the launch of the iPhone X.
