I'll be ready to move to the next iteration via iUP.This is great news. Can’t wait for the iPhone 14 leaks and materials to start flooding. The countdown is on. 👏
Still can’t see a reason to upgrade from my launch day iPhone X. Battery life is the only issue but I’m managing.
This means internally they are already designing iPhone 15, which will likely be my upgrade grade from my iPhone X.
I agree with you on the USB-C for iPhone. It’s past the time when they should have made the switch, even if just for the Pro models. In regards to FaceID, it’s gotten so fast and able to scan at greater angles, that I can pick up my iPhone 12 PM off my desk and as I’m lifting it up to look at it, it’s already unlocked and even a partial swipe up of my thumb gets me to the Home Screen before I’ve even stopped moving the device to view it.I currently on the new M1 pro MacBook Pro 16 inch as well as an M1 iPad Pro 11 inch. Ironically I do not use an iPhone however. I am still using a galaxy note 20 ultra. I have thought about buying the iPhone 13 promax, however one of the big things distracting me is the lack of USB-C connection. I do not like the idea of a legacy lightning port with every other item that I own is using USB see which includes my earbuds my Kindle My drone,my iPad etc.
I am also not a huge fan of Face ID and the notch. Personally I really hope that they add the option of both touch ID and face ID. I would love the ability to grab the phone and as I’m picking it up be able to unlock it rather than having to hold it up to my face. I also feel like the notch is a lot of wasted screen real estate, compared to Samsung which has a tiny hole punch camera which is much less intrusive when viewing content or media on the device.
if Apple is able to make those two changes they may bring me back to the fold.
I hate glass backs I really never use wireless charging, if Apple ever releases a se or any kid of iPhone with a dope metal design I'm getting that don't care if it's not a proSo you would prefer plastic? Just having antenna bands doesn't seem to be sufficient for WiFi 6 or 5G.
Agreeeeeddddd. Their watch type c already. If they still don't change it, people will still buy it. ? Im still waiting iphone5 design. Still got in on my table, charged but switched off.I'll buy one, if it comes without notch and with USB-C.
Apple's largest supplier, Foxconn, has begun trial production of the iPhone 14 Pro, suggesting that Apple has finalized its design as it moves into the early stages of device manufacturing, according to a report from the Taiwan Economic Times.

According to the report, Foxconn will manufacture the higher-end models of the iPhone 14, while Luxshare, another Apple supplier, will take on the two lower-end models. The report notes that Foxconn will begin OEM trial production of the iPhone 14 Pro to ensure it can produce the device to Apple's standards in preparing for mass production later on in the year. From the report (machine translated):
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro could feature some design tweaks, invoking nostalgic design choices with the iPhone 4 and iPhone 5. iPhone 14 Pro Max renders shared by Apple leaker Jon Prosser suggest a thicker overall chassis and no camera bump. Those same renders suggest circular volume buttons and a redesigned speaker grille.

One of the most noticeable changes rumored to be coming to the iPhone 14 is the removal of the notch in favor of a pill-shaped cutout design. Multiple rumors have suggested that Apple will debut a single punch-hole and pill-shaped cutout at the top of the display to house the front-facing camera and TrueDepth camera system for Face ID.
The iPhone 14 lineup is expected to include four variants, including two 6.1-inch and two 6.7-inch models. The updated iPhone lineup will mean the end of the 5.4-inch iPhone "mini," first launched with the iPhone 12. Alongside an updated design, the iPhone 14 is expected to include a slew of camera upgrades, such as a 48MP Wide camera, 8K video recording, and an improved Ultra Wide lens.
In addition to camera upgrades and a new design, the iPhone 14 will have improved performance and could feature 8GB of RAM on the highest-end models, the most ever in an iPhone. Other rumors have stated the iPhone 14 will not feature a SIM card slot as Apple pushes to increase adoption of eSIM technology, and it could come with as much as 2TB of storage.
