It seems that Apple’s iPhone has reached its peak. At least as far as the standard model is concerned. Yes, you heard it here first. Important news!
Now serious… I know it may sound like “I’m coming hot”, but before you panic, the good news is that Tim Cook & Co are adept at marketing, and that Apple has unparalleled brand recognition, so millions of people will continue to buy … iPhone 14. But now, in the less good news (leaks and rumours)...
Apple’s last (official) model was the iPhone XS, which looks just like the iPhone X. Since then, the company seems to have learned an important branding lesson, so we got the iPhone 11, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 – despite the differences The small visible between the last two, the “S” model, has been discontinued. Of course we’ve had this conversation before. However, it looks like 2022 will be real “General S” is disguised For vanilla iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max. On the other hand, Apple wouldn’t be if the company didn’t have a few tricks up its sleeve designed to entice buyers.
So let’s take a look at what suggests the iPhone 14 will be more of an “iPhone 13S” model, but also what upgrades could make it a viable option for those using older iPhones. Maybe you’re better off with the cheaper iPhone 13 or even waiting for the iPhone 15?
iPhone 14 becomes the first flagship iPhone to reuse an old processor, but Apple gets away with it
Professional rank.

- iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max get an all-new A16 Bionic chip
- iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max use the same A15 Bionic processor as in the iPhone 13 series
This is Big The news, at least that too bad News for those who want the cheapest new iPhone. But! Not for the same reasons you might expect… For starters, the A15 Bionic chip is still the fastest chip on the market, even after several newer Qualcomm and MediaTek releases since September 2021. So we know the “slow chip” argument is not the key to this chest.
And this is where I see Apple ready to twist things in its favor. While this has not been confirmed, I would expect Cupertino to actually use the iPhone 13 Pro chip for the iPhone 14 and 14 Max rather than the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini.

“iPhone 14 gets a Pro chip!” Apple in September remember my words.

In case you didn’t know, technically the SoC on the iPhone 13 Pro is: Different In better One of those on the iPhone 13 as it uses an extra GPU core (disabled in Standard Edition). While this makes almost no difference to real-world use, even when it comes to heavy-duty tasks, suffice it for Apple to say that the chip in the iPhone 14 isn’t the same as the one in the iPhone 13, and that wouldn’t be wrong. to be.

While we’ve never seen a new flagship iPhone with an old chip, the year-round gains in processing power aren’t as significant as you thought. For example, the A15 Bionic chip in the iPhone 13 series is only 7-10% faster than the A14 Bionic chip in the iPhone 12 series, which itself is only 7-10% faster than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, which powers the iPhone. 11.
The biggest differences come in the manufacturing process (less is better) when the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 cycle made the jump from 7nm to 5nm, making the iPhone 12 more efficient. However, probably due to a global chip shortage, the iPhone 13 had to stick to the same 5nm process. But things get even more confusing as the iPhone 13 still manages to make significant efficiency gains over its predecessor thanks to larger batteries and ProMotion on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max (the latter shattering all battery life records with related to flagship phones).
All things considered, if there’s anything to worry about when it comes to the iPhone 14 processor, it’s whether this chip/phone will be able to enjoy the same number of iOS updates as the iPhone 14 Pro, which is running on the latest. 4nm will run SoC, compared to the existing 5nm SoC in iPhone 13.
We’ll know the definitive answer to this question in about five years’ time, when Apple finally stops sending updates to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. My informed guess, though, is that Apple will fully equip the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max with the same number of iOS updates as iPhone 14 Pro because they come from the same family of phones, despite the differences in hardware.
–
Anyway, the important takeaways are:
- The old SoC on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will still be more powerful than any other (non-Apple) chip and capable enough to deliver smooth performance for the next four to five years.
- The stock iPhone (iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max) or the iPhone most people buy has peaked in every way Maximum performance – This is because Apple is trying to differentiate it from its professional siblings, which is what the company has to sell.
iPhone 14: the same design as before, but the new iPhone 14 Max model comes to the rescue
Apple offers you a purple surprise from Max!

The other obvious factor that makes the iPhone 14 the iPhone 13S in my opinion is that the new 2022 model is expected to reuse the same old design we’ve seen since the iPhone 12. Yes, unlike its Pro counterparts, the humble iPhone 14 is expected to maintain the reputation of The Bad, which, while iconic, is slowly fading… Of course, Apple’s saving grace here is the all-new iPhone 14 Max model. , which is expected to start at $900. Although at first glance it makes no sense that this device replaces the iPhone 13 mini and thus puts an end to Apple klein Small telephone attempts.
The iPhone 14 Max will have a larger 6.7-inch screen and significantly larger battery than the regular iPhone 14, which is expected to retain its 6.1-inch screen. While the 14 Max isn’t a completely new concept for Apple (they already have a Pro Max iPhone), for those who want Pay less and get more.
Apple recognizes the demand for phones with bigger screens and bigger batteries so you can enjoy content in a more immersive way for longer. Therefore, I have no doubt that customers will respond positively with their dollars. In fact, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the iPhone 14 Max becomes the best-selling iPhone 14 model (especially if the prices of the Pro models rise).
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max get new, old rear camera hardware, but a new 12MP selfie camera
As I’d like to point out, Apple likes to “recycle” Pro iPhones by adapting them to the new vanilla iPhone, and I don’t expect this year to be any different. When it comes to camera hardware, the iPhone 13 has borrowed the exact same sensors from the 2020 iPhone 12 Pro Max, and it goes without saying that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will borrow the primary and ultra-wide-angle cameras from the iPhone 13 Pro.

That’s right — not the iPhone 13, but the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. In any case, this is good news for those looking for a vanilla iPhone 14 model – this device will enjoy quality camera hardware. Sure, the 2021 flagship, but still…The reason Apple could be more generous to its budget-minded users is because the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are getting new 48MP cameras, which will be enough to differentiate the cheaper models from the more expensive ones thanks to features like native 8K video. recording and a primary sensor Larger and more detailed images in general. Everyone wins. Presumably.
The only exception to Apple’s hardware recycling rule are the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max selfie cameras, which are reportedly getting a much-needed upgrade to a new 12-megapixel sensor with a wider f/1.9 aperture with autofocus. This helps you and your friends focus when shooting your photos and videos, and provides better quality in low-light conditions.
Ultimately, should you buy the iPhone 14… iPhone 13, or… wait for the iPhone 15?
To USB C or not to USB C?

Of course, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max stick to the same old notch, and they are also expected to use the same A15 Bionic chip as in the iPhone 13. Again, the same notch has the Face ID of the iPhone 14 Pro (keep love it or hate it), and if we built an iPhone 13 Pro 8-core GPU A15 Bionic chip, it will last you for years.
Plus, the iPhone 13 Pro’s cameras are still great and fit well in the $800 iPhone 14. Plus, you get an all-new selfie shooter — just like in the iPhone 14 Pro.
The battery life of the cheap iPhone is also expected to set new records, thanks to the iPhone 14 Max, and I’m sure millions of iPhone customers will appreciate it and vote with their credit card.

If you’re not a new selfie shooter and a bigger iPhone 14 Max (with a bigger battery) tempts you, there’s no reason not to buy the iPhone 13 for $200-400 less, depending on what deal you can find. The same chip, almost the same cameras, the same design… It’s a no-brainer for those on a budget.
Skip the iPhone 14 and wait for the iPhone 15 (with USB-C)?
Oh boy. The biggest. At least in my book.
After decades of “leaks” and rumours, the iPhone 15 is now expected to switch to USB-C thanks to new European legislation (which is not yet complete), which is by far the biggest reason to wait for the 2023 model. But she’s getting better…

According to a trusted publication, Ross Young, the iPhone 15 will switch to the new design with two holes (like the iPhone 14 Pro), a new processor (it could be the A16 Bionic from the iPhone 14 Pro), and of course, bring more tweaks to be revealed Leaks and rumors Let’s wait and see for the iPhone 14 first, but if the leaks and rumors come true, I know I wouldn’t mind using the iPhone 13 in case I needed an urgent upgrade. If not… iPhone 15 will be a completely different beast. I mean… USB-C?! Come here!
