News & Reviews:   Apple iPhone 14

The upcoming iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max may feature LTPO panels capable of dropping to as low as 1Hz, hence paving the way for always-on display elements. This is according to tech insider and display analyst Ross Young who is ‘expecting’ for Apple to make such a move with the upcoming iPhone Pro lineup.

Another day, another iPhone rumour. According to this new one, the upcoming iPhone 14 series will mark the return of the "champagne gold" colour option, which Apple has used during the iPhone 5/6 era. The current generations of iPhones have a gold paint job, but they're visually more subtle than what we see now.

In recent years, we get the same question asking whether Apple would delay its iPhone's launch due to manufacturing issues, and this year is no exception. If you've been following the news, some regions in China are going through lockdowns. For that reason, the iPhone manufacturing factories might also be affected if lockdowns get extended to their places. However, that could be something not to worry about as a manufacturer might have started taking action to avoid delays.

Reliable tipster regarding everything Apple, Ming-Chi Kuo is at it again yesterday by spilling the beans on the upcoming iPhone 14 series. This time around, Kuo is giving insight into the upcoming smartphones’ front cameras which would have a considerable upgrade from its current iteration.

While Android brands tend to forge ahead with new features, Apple tends to lag way behind. The only exception is when the company is the pioneer instead. That's the same for under-display cameras, which might not come to iPhones anytime soon.

Recently, it was reported that Apple would not use the same chipset across the upcoming iPhone 14 series. According to previous information, the iPhone 14's non-Pro variants will stick with the A15 chip, while the Pro ones get the new generation A16. However, the latest report claims that it will not be the case as it would raise criticism.

Smartphones are reaching a point where it's more or less plateauing in terms of features. It's hard to come up with new things that can be squeezed into such small packages. But for Apple, its latest plan could result in better battery life for the iPhone 14 series.

It has long been established that the global chip shortage has far-reaching consequences. A lot of devices and components use silicon chips, so a shortage could cause production to stall. That seems to be what's happening to this Apple's iPhones this year.

While some companies like Samsung can manufacture their mobile chips, most rely on other manufacturers to do it. Of the bunch, TSMC is easily the biggest in the business. It even makes most of Apple's chips and is on schedule to develop the Apple A16 Bionic.

Apple has taken the move by making the iPhone 13 series' notch smaller than all the previous models. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the tech giant might shrink the FaceID notch further on the next generation of iPhones, turning it into a punch-hole cutout.
