Can't wait for the iPhone 14 reveal when it looks exactly like the 13/13 Pro.
Congrats to Luxshare for such a big milestone!
First time in history a new iPhone design has been assembled by a company other than Foxconn.

What I don’t understand is, if the rumours are true, why didn’t they use the hole punch/pill for the recent MacBook Pro’s?
I think it would only be news if design for the iPhone 14 wasn't finished at this point...
My guesses:
- iPhone is Apple's flagship product, so it is most likely to debut most new features
- For new display technologies, we've seen a trend where it's easier to roll them out on smaller screens first
I love my XR and usually don't upgrade early at all. The 4S was the first iPhone I ever had though, so if the 14 comes out looking anything like this and the pricing is right, I might pull the trigger just out of nostalgia.
so unless your current iPhone is on its last leg, the iPhone 14 series is a version to skip?
I’ve had every iPhone since the first version launched and the 4/4S was by far my favorite physical form, even as I had signal attenuation issues with the 4 (the bumper solved the problem). It also was prone to get cracks and chips in the glass panels, so assuming today‘s version with much higher strength glass will greatly eliminate those issues.
To go even further with the iPhone 4 nostaligia factor another feature built in is the metal band around the phone that acts as a cellular antenna that you have to hold just right to get reception.
Joking aside, the iPhone 4 was their best phone in terms of design and build quality imo.

Apple on iPhone complaints: You're holding it wrong - CNN.com
Hours after its iPhone 4 went on sale to excited crowds Thursday, Apple found itself responding to complaints that holding the phone by its metal edge causes mobile reception to suffer.

Why don't you just buy an Android if these are the 2 only things that matter to you

This is great news. Can’t wait for the iPhone 14 leaks and materials to start flooding. The countdown is on. 👏
Looking forward to hearing more about iPhone 14, it's new features and the new colour this year for the Pro model
The variable framerate display made the 13 pro upgrade feel pretty good, so you got that going for you!
Agreed. This phone as a "mini" is an instant buy for me, from my 2016 iPhone SE.
We all know that iPhone 14 will be release sometime in September nothing new about that. Design tweak will be very thin margin and nothing like revolution - don’t fall trap with fake design.
The funny things - once you have new phone you will be happy just for 20 mins and the rest will be history because you know how to use iPhone & iOS.

Production is about to ramp up at Foxconn? Time to reinforce those nets around the building, Tim Apple!
I totally agree. What happened to all of that nice "ballistic plastic" Apple used to use back in the day? Seem like the way to go for a phone, no? I have never understood glass.
It was voted down in favor of inflated repair costs for shattered/broken glass. Although, I am interested to see how long Apple offers $29 repairs for this type of damage on the 12 & 13s with AC as this seems like a pretty fair deal.
Yeah, I can’t wait to get these 8K ProRes files off the phone over Lightning... ?♂️
better cameras = by far the biggest reason to upgrade for me usually.
what about you?
what about you?
The camera is finalized 3 years before release. Someone from Apple confirmed that.
A thicker Pro Max could be great. No camera bump would be a nice change and there’s room for even better speakers.
If the selfie camera is a separate hole punch, make it a really good camera.
A thicker Pro Max could make room for an outstanding DAC for the cord connection to AirPods Max. A new lightning-to-lightning cable to remove the need for the dongle is needed. ?
