iPhone 14 report just tipped with bad news

It is possible that the new iPhone will have the same processor as last year’s model.

When compared to the iPhone 14 Pro series, the iPhone 14 seems less exciting the more we know about it. And this latest report isn’t helping matters.

New models of the iPhone 14 are expected to be released by Apple in the fall, according to market research firm TrendForce (via 9to5Mac). The iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max are all slated to be released. However, Apple appears that the normal iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro have very different specifications.

TrendForce reports that “only the latest CPUs are utilised in the Pro series,” which we believe to be the A16 Bionic. This confirms reports that Apple will use the A15 Bionic processor from the iPhone 13 in the iPhone 14.

As it turns out, TrendForce predicts that Apple will bump up the RAM on its iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max models from 4 to 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM. This could help performance a little, but the iPhone 13 is still the fastest smartphone we’ve tested so far.

iPhone 14 Pro vs iPhone 14: Get ready for big differences

Our iPhone 14 vs iPhone 14 Pro preview suggests, however, that there will be a slew of additional significant differences that will elevate the Pro model above the rest. iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are rumoured to have a new 48MP camera, quadrupling the resolution of the 12MP sensor that is believed to be on the basic iPhone 14 model.

You may expect a full-screen experience on the iPhone 14 Pro series, which is expected to have a punchhole and pill-shaped cutout for Face ID technology.

We’re also hearing that the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will have an always-on display, according to various publications. Users will be able to enjoy widgets on their lock screens thanks to a new feature coming in iOS 16. More information would be available at a glance without the need to switch on your phone.

As if that wasn’t enough, the iPhone 14 Pro series should still get a few extra features that the standard iPhone 14 won’t have. Both the 120Hz ProMotion display and the telephoto lens provide genuine optical zoom, which makes scrolling and overall performance more fluid when playing compatible games.

There are a lot of things to consider when comparing the iPhone 14 to the iPhone 14 Pro. As a result, Apple will have to come up with new features to entice them to upgrade. The front camera on the iPhone 14 is expected to include autofocus, for example. In addition, we’ll require more than that.
