It looks like Apple’s iPhone has reached its peak. At least as far as the standard model is concerned. Yes, you heard here first. Latest news!
Now, seriously… I know this may sound like “I’m getting hot”, but before you start freaking out, the good news is that Tim Cook & Co is good at marketing, and Apple has unrivaled brand recognition, so millions of people will continue to buy… iPhone 14. But now, in the not-so-good news (leaks and rumours)...
Apple’s last (official) model was the iPhone XS, which looks like the iPhone X. Since then, the company seems to have learned an important branding lesson, so we’ve got the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and iPhone 13 — although there are slight differences between the two. Lastly, the “S” model has been discontinued. Sure, we’ve had this conversation before. However, it looks like 2022 is really going to happen “General S” in disguise For vanilla iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max. Then again, Apple wouldn’t have succeeded if the company didn’t have a few tricks, which were meant to lure buyers.
So, let’s see what shows that the iPhone 14 will be more of an “iPhone 13S” model, but also what improvements to expect actually make it a viable option for people using older iPhones. Maybe you’d be better off with a cheaper iPhone 13 or even wait for an iPhone 15?
iPhone 14 becomes the first flagship iPhone to reuse old processors, but Apple will get away with it
- iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max get the all-new A16 Bionic chip
- iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max to reuse the same A15 Bionic processor found in the iPhone 13 lineup
This Big The news, of course, 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 a number of newer Qualcomm and MediaTek releases since September 2021. So we know the “slow chip” argument is not the key to this coffin. .
And this is where I see Apple poised to turn things in its favour. While this hasn’t been confirmed yet, I’d expect Cupertino to actually use the iPhone 13 Pro chip for the iPhone 14 and 14 Max, not 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 Dan better The one on the iPhone 13 because it uses an extra GPU core (disabled in Standard Edition). While this is hardly any different from real-world use, even when it comes to heavy-duty tasks, it suffices for Apple to say that the chips in the iPhone 14 aren’t the same as those in the iPhone 13, and that would make no mistake.

While we’ve never seen a new flagship iPhone with an old chip, the truth is, the processing power gains over the years aren’t as significant as you might think. 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 is only 7-10% faster than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, which powers the iPhone. 11.
The biggest difference comes in the manufacturing process (less is better) as the iPhone 11-iPhone 12 cycle makes the jump from 7nm to 5nm, making the iPhone 12 more efficient. However, likely due to a global chip shortage, the iPhone 13 should still use the same 5nm process. But it gets even more confusing, as the iPhone 13 still manages to manage a significant efficiency boost over its predecessor thanks to a larger battery and ProMotion on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max (the latter breaking all battery life records in relation to flagship phones.) .
All told, if there’s anything to worry about when it comes to the iPhone 14 processor, will this chip/phone be able to enjoy the same number of iOS updates as the iPhone 14 Pro, which will run at the latest 4nm. SoC, compared to the 5nm SoC in the iPhone 13.
We’ll have a definitive answer to this question in about five years time when Apple finally stops shipping updates to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. However, my guess is that Apple will fully stock the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max with the same. the number of iOS updates as the iPhone 14 Pro because they are from the same family of phones, despite the hardware differences.

However, important takeaways are:
- The old SoC on iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will still be more powerful than other (non-Apple) chips and capable enough to give you smooth performance for the next four to five years.
- The standard iPhones (iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max) or iPhones that most people buy have reached their peak in every way Maximum appearance – This is because Apple is trying to differentiate it from its professional sibling, which the company has to sell.
iPhone 14: Same design as before but new iPhone 14 Max model to the rescue
Apple offers a purple surprise from Max!

Another 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 modest iPhone 14 is expected to maintains its Bad reputation, which, while iconic, is slowly fading away… Of course, Apple’s saving grace here is the all-new iPhone 14 Max model, which is expected to start at $900. While it may seem implausible at first glance, this device replaces the iPhone 13 mini, ending Apple small Small phone attempt.
The iPhone 14 Max will have a larger 6.7-inch screen and a much larger battery than the regular iPhone 14, which is expected to retain the 6.1-inch display. While the 14 Max isn’t a completely new concept for Apple (they already have the iPhone Pro Max), it will feel like something completely new to those who want one. Pay less and get more.
Apple recognizes the demand for phones with bigger screens and bigger batteries, allowing you to enjoy content in more immersive ways for longer. Therefore, I have no doubt that customers will respond positively with their dollars. In fact, it’s no wonder the iPhone 14 Max is the best-selling iPhone 14 model (especially if the price of the Pro model goes up).
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max get new old rear camera hardware but new 12MP selfie camera
As I’d like to point out, Apple likes to “recycle” the iPhone Pro by adapting it 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 borrows the exact same sensor from the 2020 iPhone 12 Pro Max, and it stands to reason that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will borrow the main and ultra-wide-angle cameras from the iPhone. 13 Pros.
–
That’s right – not the iPhone 13, but the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Anyway, this is good news for those who might want to buy a vanilla iPhone 14 model – the device will enjoy quality camera hardware. Sure, the 2021 seed, but still…The reason Apple can be more generous to its budget-oriented users is because the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max get a new 48MP camera, which will be enough to differentiate the cheaper model from the more expensive one thanks to features like the original 8K. video recording and main sensor The image is generally larger and more detailed. Everyone wins. Should.
The only exceptions to Apple’s hardware recycling rule are the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max selfie cameras, which are said to get a much-needed upgrade to a new 12-megapixel sensor with a wider f/1.9 aperture with autofocus. This will help you and your friends focus when taking photos and videos, and provide better low-light quality.
In the end: Should you get the iPhone 14… iPhone 13, or… wait for the iPhone 15?
To USB C or not to USB C?

Sure, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max keep the same old notch, and they’re also expected to sport the same A15 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 13. Again, the same notch will have the iPhone 14 Pro Face ID (love it or hate it). , and when We created the iPhone 13 Pro 8-core A15 GPU Bionic chip that will keep you going for years to come.
Other than that, the iPhone 13 Pro’s camera is still great and will match the $800 iPhone 14. Plus, you get a new selfie shooter – just like on the iPhone 14 Pro.
Budget iPhone battery life 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 cards.
Get an iPhone 13 instead of an iPhone 14?
For those who like to shop for iPhones at places like eBay, 2022 will be your lucky year because you won’t have much to lose Very Chose last year’s iPhone.

If you’re not a new selfie shooter and the 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 deals you can find. Same chip, almost same camera, same design… This is 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 rumors, the iPhone 15 is now expected to make the switch to USB-C thanks to new (unfinished) European legislation, and is by far the biggest reason to wait for the 2023 model. But he’s getting better…

According to trusted publication Ross Young, the iPhone 15 will move to a new dual-hole design (like the iPhone 14 Pro), a new processor (could be the A16 Bionic from the iPhone 14 Pro), and of course, bring more tweaks that haven’t been revealed. Leaks and Rumors Let’s wait and see the iPhone 14 first but if the leaks and rumors come true, I know I won’t mind using the iPhone 13 if I need an urgent upgrade. Otherwise… the iPhone 15 would be a completely different monster. I mean… USB-C?! Here!
