The leak: Newly published CADs of the iPhone 14 show minimal design changes over last year’s iPhone 13, according to MySmartPrice (not yet tracked).
- From these images, the iPhone 14 looks to have the same design as the iPhone 13…with the same notch and rear camera design
- Ming-Chi Kuo (72.5% accurate) recently said that the iPhone 14 (non Pro) will get the A15 chip while the iPhone 14 Pro will get the new A16 chip
- MySmartPrice has decent track record, correctly showing the design of the iPhone 13 and iPad Pro before their announcements
Ian’s take: I mean what can I say…it looks like the iPhone 13 and will have last year’s chip. It seems that Apple is now realizing they were making their lower end devices too compelling. They are differentiating the Pro line this year more than ever with a newer chip and new display design. It is unfortunate, but I see where they are coming from.
