A series of renders were posted on Wednesday by India-based tech blog 91Mobiles, which claims they are based on leaked factory images of the upcoming iPhone 14 Pro.
The images offer an idea of how Apple's flagship device will look with hole-punch and pill-shaped cutouts near the top of the display.
There are rumors that a hole will be used for the Face ID dot projector and a pill-shaped cutout will be used for the front camera. The speaker grille will remain in the top of the device.
The rear of the device looks the same as before, with the triple-lens array housed in a camerabump that protrudes from the chassis. Jon Prosser claimed in September that the iPhone 14 will have a thicker case that will allow for no camerabump, but that is not what is shown here.
According to Prosser's sources, the new models will have round volume buttons and a redesign of the speaker and microphone grilles, but these latest CAD renders only show the same oblong buttons and grilles that iPhone users already know.
Apple is expected to release four iPhone 14 series models this year, consisting of two 6.1-inch and two 6.7-inch sizes, thus dropping the mini variant that we saw in the iPhone 12 and 13 series. The hole-punch and pill-shaped cutouts are only expected to be on the highest-end version of the device.
The non-Pro models will feature the same A15 processor found in the iPhone 13 series, while the Pro models will get a new A16 Bionic processor.
The latter rumor comes from a well-known analyst. You have to go back to the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G, both of which used the same 412MHz ARM 11 chips, to find the last time Apple re-used a previous-generation processor. We have a comprehensive list of everything we know about the.
