Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has also talked about the improvements in the image department, says Apple could rock the diagonals again in its iPhone lineup for 2022 models..
IPhone 14 will abandon the iPhone 12 mini format and its 5.4-inch screen to come with two 6.1-inch models for the base level and two 6.7-inch models for the higher range.
We currently have 5.4 inches (12 Small), 6.1 inches (iPhone 12 and 12 Pro), and 6.7 inches (12 Pro Max). If you’re generally a customer of the first of my Pro, you’ll have to deal with the large dimensions that are today the prerogative of the Pro Max.
This gear shift tends to confirm the presence of the 12 mini format It did not achieve the expected success (While Those who chose it Love her). he was there Permanent reduction 60 euros for this small family. However, previous information from the same Ming-Chi Kuo indicates that the miniature will be replenished – the last time after that? Inside the upcoming iPhone 13.
Regarding imaging on these future models, the analyst expects a significant improvement in the images produced.
Between the next iPhone 12 and 13 and 14, the pixel size will go from 1.7 microns to 2 microns then 1.25 microns. IPhone 14 will be able to simultaneously produce 48 mega-pixel and 12 mega-pixel photos (by grouping four pixels to form one). In the second case, this equates to increasing the pixel size to 2.5 microns, a major advance against the competition Kuo believes.
On the video side, Apple will add 8K recording, as it currently exists in some Android devices. This increased photo and video performance will also help improve the experience of augmented / mixed reality applications.
By 2023 – iPhone 15 – Ming-Chi Kuo has confirmed that Apple Intends to use it The viewfinder, which Face ID could work through the screen, with a potential feature of removing the visual fingerprint formed by the notch (on this topic, read also Ming-Chi Kuo: 120Hz for iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone SE in 5G early 2022).
