It looks like Apple’s iPhone has reached its peak. At least as far as the standard model is concerned. Yes, you heard it here first. Breaking news!
Now seriously… I know it might sound like “I’m getting hot”, but before you start panicking, the good news is that Tim Cook & Co are adept at marketing, and Apple has unparalleled brand recognition, so millions of people will continue to buy… iPhone 14. But now, on to the not-so-good news (leaks and rumors)...
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 acquired the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and iPhone 13 – despite the differences. The barely visible between the latter two, the “S” model has been discontinued. Of course, we’ve had this conversation before. However, it looks like 2022 will really be “General S” is in disguise For iPhone 14 Vanilla and iPhone 14 Max. Then again, Apple wouldn’t be if the company didn’t have a few tricks up its sleeve aimed at enticing buyers.
So let’s take a look at what suggests the iPhone 14 will be more of an “iPhone 13S” model, but also what updates to expect could really make it a viable option for people using older iPhones. Maybe you’re better off with the cheaper iPhone 13 or even waiting for the iPhone 15?
iPhone 14 becomes first flagship iPhone to reuse an old processor, but Apple will get away with it
Professional degree.

- iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max get a new A16 Bionic chip
- iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max to reuse the same A15 Bionic processor found in the iPhone 13 line
That’s it Grande The news, of course, that also roomy News for those who want the cheapest new iPhone. But! Not for the same reasons you’d expect… For starters, the A15 Bionic chip is still the fastest chip on the market, even after several more recent releases from Qualcomm and MediaTek since September 2021. So we know the “slow chip” argument isn’t. the key to this coffin.
And this is where I see Apple ready to twist things in its favor. While this is unconfirmed, I would expect Cupertino to actually use the iPhone 13 Pro chip for the iPhone 14 and 14 Max instead of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini.

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

In case you didn’t know, technically the SoC on the iPhone 13 Pro is Different E improve One of the iPhone 13 because it uses an extra GPU core (disabled in Standard Edition). While this hardly makes a difference for real-world use, even when it comes to heavy tasks, suffice it to say that the iPhone 14’s chip is not the same as the iPhone 13’s, and that’s not wrong.

While we’ve never seen a new flagship iPhone with an old chip, in fact, the year-round gains in processing power aren’t as significant as you thought. For example, the iPhone 13 series A15 Bionic chip is only 7-10% faster than the iPhone 12 series A14 Bionic chip, which is only 7-10% faster than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, powering the iPhone 11 .
The biggest differences come from the manufacturing process (less is better), as the iPhone 11-iPhone 12 cycle made the leap from 7nm to 5nm, making the iPhone 12 more efficient. However, likely due to a global chip shortage, the iPhone 13 had to follow the same 5nm process. But it gets even more confusing, because the iPhone 13 still manages to manage significant efficiency gains over its predecessor thanks to larger batteries and ProMotion on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max (the latter breaking all battery life records over to main phones).
All in all, if there’s anything to worry about when it comes to the iPhone 14’s processor, it’s whether this chip/phone will be able to enjoy the same number of iOS updates as the iPhone 14 Pro, which will run on the latest 4nm SoC, in comparison. with the existing 5nm SoC in the iPhone 13.
We will know the definitive answer to this question in about five years when Apple finally stops sending updates for the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14. However, my informed guess is that Apple will completely supply the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max with the same number of iOS updates like the iPhone 14 Pro because they are from the same phone family despite the hardware differences.
–
Anyway, the important tips are:
- The old SoC in 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 standard iPhone (iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max) or the iPhone most people buy has reached its peak in every sense of the word. maximum performance – That’s because Apple is trying to distinguish it from its professional brothers, which is what 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!
–
The other obvious factor that makes the iPhone 14 the iPhone 13S, in my opinion, is that the new 2022 model should reuse the same old design we’ve seen since the iPhone 12. Yes, unlike its Pro equivalents, the humble iPhone 14 should maintain the bad O reputation, which, while iconic, is slowly fading… Of course, Apple’s saving grace here is the new iPhone 14 Max model, which should start at $900. device replace the iPhone 13 mini, putting an end to Apple small Small phone 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 an iPhone Pro Max), it will feel like something completely new to anyone who wants it. Pay less and earn more.
Apple recognizes the demand for phones with bigger screens and bigger batteries, allowing you to enjoy content in a more immersive way for longer. So 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 top-selling iPhone 14 model (especially if the prices of the Pro models go up).
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will have new old rear camera hardware but a new 12MP selfie camera
As I would like to point out, Apple likes to “recycle” iPhones Pro 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 borrowed the exact same sensors as the 2020 iPhone 12 Pro Max, and it stands to reason that the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will borrow both the primary and ultra-wide cameras from the iPhone 13 pro.
–
That’s right – not the iPhone 13, but the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. Either way, this is good news for those looking to buy a vanilla iPhone 14 model – this device will enjoy quality camera hardware. Sure, flagship of 2021, but still…The reason Apple could be more generous to its budget-oriented 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, more detailed images overall. Everyone wins. supposedly.
The only exception to Apple’s hardware recycling rule is the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max selfie cameras, which are said to be getting a much-needed upgrade to a new 12-megapixel sensor with a wider f/1.9 aperture with autofocus. It will help you and your friends to focus when taking your photos and videos and provide improved quality in low light.
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?

Of course, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max retain the same old notch and must also use the same A15 Bionic chip found in the iPhone 13. Again, the same notch will have the iPhone 14 Pro’s Face ID (love it or hate it) and when we built an A15 Bionic chip with 8-core A15 GPU for iPhone 13 Pro that will keep you going for years to come.
Plus, the iPhone 13 Pro’s cameras are still amazing and fit the $800 iPhone 14 perfectly. Plus, you get an all-new selfie shooter — just like the iPhone 14 Pro.
The iPhone’s battery life should also set new records, thanks to the iPhone 14 Max, and I’m sure millions of iPhone customers will like it and vote with their credit cards.
Get an iPhone 13 instead of an iPhone 14?

If you’re not a new selfie shooter and a bigger iPhone 14 Max (with a bigger battery) tempting you, there’s no reason not to buy the iPhone 13 for $200-400 less depending on which deal you find. Same chip, almost the same cameras, same design… It’s a no-brainer for those on a budget.
Skip iPhone 14 and wait for 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), and that 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 dual-hole design (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. yet to be revealed Leaks and Rumors We’ll wait and see the iPhone 14 first, but if the leaks and rumors turn out to be true, I know I wouldn’t mind using the iPhone 13 if I needed an urgent update. If not… the iPhone 15 is becoming an entirely different beast. I mean… USB-C?! Get over here!
