According to new reports, the tiny iPhone’s days are numbered if leaked blueprints are correct.
One user on Weibo provided a picture of what seems to be schematics for the next iPhone 14 series, according to 9to5Mac. This year, if the schematics are correct, the iPhone mini will be replaced with a larger version of the normal iPhone.
While the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14…Max are expected to retain their present notch design, the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max are expected to have a new pill and hole design on the front display.
The diagonal camera on the iPhone 14 is expected to be retained, but the Pro models are expected to include the same three lenses plus a LiDAR scanner. Despite the fact that ShrimpApplePro on Twitter claimed that this schematic had appeared earlier than anticipated, 9to5Mac reported the case schematics for the iPhone 13 line about a year ago already.
In addition, a Weibo user points out that “according to prior speculations, the iPhone 14 Pro will employ an exclamation point camera design, while the iPhone 14 and 14 Max are still built with the bezel.”
No one knows for sure whether these schematics have been leaked from an Apple source, but they do match the information we have so far.
It seems like the iPhone mini is set to be phased away. If this is the case, we must all hope that the new iPhone SE inherits the form and size of Apple’s tiny yet powerful iPhones.
