A new render of the iPhone 14 created by Waqar Khan looks like the one created by Jon Prosser back in September
Another change that you might miss, even after watching the video, is the use of round volume buttons (with the “+” and “-” symbols) last seen on the iPhone 5s. The 2022 models will be powered by the A16 Bionic but whether the chip is made using the 4nm, 5nm, or the 3nm process node is unknown.
The flush mounted real camera array looks quite striking
We are still approximately ten months away from next September and the unveiling of the iPhone 14 and many will say that it is too early to know what next year’s models will look like. But back in September Graham Townsend, Apple’s VP of camera hardware engineering, told GQ magazine that Apple knows what features are going to be on a specific year’s iPhone three years in advance. “The planning has to start about three years ahead, because that’s when we actually fix the specification of the silicon,” Townsend said.
One thing that doesn’t appear to be changing-at least not next year-is the use of the proprietary Lightning port to charge the handsets and to transfer data. The EC might end up forcing Apple to switch to a USB-C port thanks to a proposal being considered on the continent. One universal charging technology would be allowed for the electronics industry and USB-C surely fits the bill right now as that platform is used the world over on various electronics including Android handsets, and mobile video game devices such as the Nintendo Switch.
