Last week, the foreign media 91Mobiles website was exposed iPhone 14 Pro CAD After designing the drawing files, it can be roughly seen that Apple will remove the bangs design of the iPhone 14, until the recent whistleblower @xleaks7 and the Japanese Ukrainian user @apple_lab used CAD to render multiple appearance drawings of the iPhone 14 Pro, including the gold iPhone 14 and the green iPhone 14, but unexpectedly discovered that the new opportunity has four important functional improvements.
iPhone 14 Pro CAD renderings reveal punch-hole screen and thinner bezels
From the rendering of the iPhone 14 Pro provided by the whistleblower, it can be found that this year’s new flagship phone of Apple is the most obvious to remove the iPhone bangs, and use a round hole and pill shape design to form an “exclamation point punch screen”, which can accommodate Face ID The sensor and front lens, while retaining the upper and lower display areas of the screen, further increase the screen ratio of the iPhone 14, and can also enhance the uniqueness of the mobile phone market, but the basic models of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max will continue to use the original bangs design.
Another Ukrainian user @apple_lab I also obtained the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max CAD files from the well-known whistleblower @MaxWinebach, and rendered them into a blue-green body. The color matching is relatively more beautiful than the commercially available iPhone 13 Pro Pine Ridge Cyan. At the same time, it also targets two iPhone 14s. Pro and Pro Max delve into the details.
He found that after the iPhone 14 Pro changed to a punch-hole screen, the black border became thinner.
If the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro are compared with each other, the difference between the punch-hole screen and the bangs can be clearly seen, and the more the punch-hole screen is, the more pleasing to the eye, mainly because the lack of the black bangs area on the top, the screen’s visual occlusion range less.
The rest of the iPhone 14 Pro has the same appearance as the iPhone 13 Pro. It also uses a vertical narrow bezel, a 6.1-inch LTPO OLED screen, three lenses, a flash and a LiDAR sensor.
The side of the fuselage also retains the original volume key, mute key and SIM card slot shape, and it is not like the iPhone 4 circular volume key design as previously rumored. The bottom also maintains the Lightning charging hole, as are the speaker and microphone openings.
The iPhone 14 Pro’s lens has become significantly larger and its thickness has changed
Previous analyst Ming-Chi Kuo pointed out that the iPhone 14 Pro lens will usher in a major upgrade, the main lens will be increased from 12 million pixels to 48 million pixels, and will support 8K video.
Ukrainian user @apple_lab found relevant evidence from the iPhone 14 Pro CAD design. The data shows that the iPhone 14 Pro lens module is about 15%~20% larger than the previous generation, resulting in the main lens being more convex and thicker. It is believed that this is caused by the new 48-megapixel lens, and the data also confirms Ming-Chi Kuo’s statement.
At the same time, he also compared the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro, and it was obvious that both the lens module and the lens size became slightly larger.
Is the data true?
It is worth noting that the CAD files obtained by @apple_lab are provided by the well-known whistleblower @MaxWinebach. These are not just concept maps of the designer’s own fantasy, but genuine iPhone 14 Pro CAD files obtained through special channels. Product images they render.
It is expected that the trial production of the iPhone 14 Pro series has probably been completed, and relevant information will flow out. From this information, we can generally know that this year’s new iPhone 14 Pro series has improved, not only the bangs disappear, but also the lens, frame and thickness. There are adjustments.
It is understood that the two models of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will use the A16 bionic chip. The entry-level iPhone 14 and 14 Max will be equipped with the A15 bionic chip of the previous generation iPhone 13 Pro series. From 2022, Apple will implement processor differentiation Strategy to differentiate between basic and flagship models.
