iPhone 14 Rumor Report Card: Five Rumors That Turned Out Wrong

[JPack]

Yeah my Samsung is laid out like that. With periscope lens design they were able to get the lenses back to being flat and relatively unobtrusive. And the chassis is still thin and light for a phone of its large dimensions.

S22 Ultra is a chunky 8.9mm thick. It has a camera bump. Yet, the sensor is still smaller than iPhone 14 Pro/Max.

Do you see how unrealistic a zero camera bump design is?

No

Don't think the camera bump is going anywhere! Maybe a 2TB option might happen with iPhone 15 Pro if the base model starts at 256GB.

 

[JPack]

No

I'm not surprised Prosser has an audience.

Whatever. I have the S22 Ultra right here. I completely disagree with your assessment of the phone as chunky and certainly think Apple is capable of a more streamlined design especially down the road. I already stated why I find value in checking out rumors and leaks be they from Prosser or other sources.

Some of these rumors shouldn't make sense to anybody with higher order brain functions.

No camera bump? So Apple will double the thickness of the entire chassis?

Titanium? Use an expensive material that doesn't dissipate heat?

Thinking the entire chassis has to be doubled in thickness to eliminate the camera bump shows you ain't using a higher order of brain function either.

Also they wasted Titanium on that stupid credit card, they painted white even. Heat dissipation is not job of the outside band and thermals should be handled by internal heat sink / pipe.

There's a reason why everybody uses a camera bump, whether it's Apple or Samsung. The idea that the sensor could be Apple's largest ever along with a flush camera bump is nothing but wishful thinking.

There are about a hundred different grades of titanium, each with varying levels of scratch and corrosion resistance.

You do realize the heat has to go somewhere, right? It doesn't magically get "handled" by a heatsink.

MacRumors should have a page dedicated to rumor sources and their accuracy. This chart could then be used to mark articles on how likely they are to be accurate.

But then it would become clear how few really are accurate and there would be a lot less articles. It would basically become the Kuo Show.

Same number of articles, and more engagement, as there would be arguments against any article with less than a 99% accuracy.

I logged in just to upvote this. I understand it is Mac RUMORS, and I'm all here for them, but it would be cool to see a track record.
