Jon Prosser on iPhone 14: No Notch, No Camera Bump, Titanium Design, and More

[Royksöpp]

A clown needs an audience.

Remember his iMac render?

What he said we would get.

What we got.

Yeah. I’ll just leave it at that.

No bump, no notch - finally actual design changes worth mentioning! Would be nice to get a more scratch resistant body if possible... having to wear protection really changes the whole experience (insert "that's what she said" 😄).

Solid leak. I love how iPhone is going to be made out of pure glass and titanium.

Wonder who’s going to not upgrade based on the video.

Does iPhone 14 does not look like an Android device?

Take my money right now 😱😱😱 iPhone 4 all over again 😍😍😍 android phones with them huge camera bumps and curved displays look horrible 🤮🤢 this is a work of a art.

I’ll take one of every colour please. 🙋‍♂️📱😂

 

[Xtir]

Why didn’t he mention that it will have ios 16?

he switched on focus mode on ios 15, now he cannot be distracted.

 

[LFC2020]

Hole punch looks out of place, imo.

It’s called courage 😂

 

[Neodym]

Strange: Somehow I actually dislike flush cameras over the current bump. Maybe it‘s because of the render, but the flush ones in that render picture look cheap and poorly designed to me.

Since my 12 is still a wonderful amazing device, I see no reason to upgrade to the 13. Especially if even a rumor of the 14 is going to be as drastic as rumored. But we will just have to wait and see. iOS 15 should have enough to make it hold me over, especially drivers license support, and office keys.

At some point on the past, I'm sure in these forums, I recall seeing an iPhone production timeline that showed dates when final hardware design was locked, when production had to start, etc., in order to a hit Sept. launch. Anyone know that info? More personal curiosity than anything.

I would assume a device like the iPhone 14 is already pretty close to locked in, design-wise. I could be wrong - hence, this post.

I mean, you said it right there. The kitchen sink.
sure, some might want a kitchen with a full sink and five different cooks in it.
others are happy with a kitchen with empty sink, full cupboards, and completely clean counters with only one cook.

Well you have a 70’s kitchen with one wooden plate, one wooden spoon, fork, knife, etc. Not a good analogy.

A more fitting one would be this, here’s the iPhone kitchen.

And here’s the flagship Android phone kitchen.

You need a remodel and some modern tech dude!!🤪

The notch, I guess, was also called courage. At least it has come character.

Current Prediction: I'm predicting that it will be a flat piece of glass with a holographic display.

Wait, my Apple spy just got back to me. It's going to be the same design.

New prediction: Same design iPhone 14.

 

[Psychicbob]

That flat back profile is so much better looking. If only the camera didn’t dominate the phone …

While I expect the iPhone to eventually get to a design like this there is something important to remember...

APPLE SPREADS R&D ACROSS 3 YEARS AT A TIME...

iPhone 6/6S/7
iPhone X/XS/11
iPhone 12/13/??

It seems very, very bizarre for a significant design change after only 2 years, and even more so after they finally shrunk and redeisgned FaceID for the iPhone 13 to redesign (or eliminate?) it all together for a hole punch design just a year later. I mean I get nothing is set in stone but this seems a prediction more likely of the iPhone 15 than the iPhone 14.

... here’s the iPhone kitchen.

I hear Brady Bunch incidental music when I look at that photo.

The year is 2025. COVID still running rampant. CO2 emissions are at an all-time high. Masks are being worn 24/7 by smart people who don't live in the southern belt of the United States.

Tim Apple introduces iPhone 17 with a revolutionary new feature to finally replace the useless Face ID feature in a mask-wearing world:

Touch ID.

You heard it here first, Jon Prosser!

But then you have to 'touch' it... In four years touching anything will be like really weird. Yeah... *shrug*

It’s an artist’s impression! Even if accurate, it’s very doubtful a prototype has even been produced yet. They’re probably at the mock-up stage and will refine once they get iP13 feedback

 

[Populus]

I do believe this leak, seems like a solid leak.

Yes, Prosser has been wrong many times in the past, and I still don’t like him (lol), but I recognize him as one of those people who keeps faking it until he made it.

As for the iPhone 14, seems like a good move for Apple, but I personally don’t feel thrilled by the comeback of the iPhone 4 style. That’s a personal taste thing of course, also, they will be pretty big.

I’ll stick with the 13 mini (when I get it) for a long time.

That is true recently, but before that it was two-year iterations:

iPhone 3G/3GS
iPhone 4/4S
iPhone 5/5S (and 5c)

 

[DeepIn2U]

It's like they're totally out of design ideas and keep going back to previous designs lol

But it looks sexy at least.

If it ain’t broke, modernize it 😉

id love this but mix with the edges of the 12 design. I still have the 4S 64GB model as a backup/nostalgia device.

not sure titanium is a good choice. Apple is supposed to be (publicly announced in their events over last 2yrs) going to a closed loop supply of materials, yet Apple has barely made devices using heavy titanium since 2000/2001!

It’s also a lot heavier than aluminum & only protects from side/edge drops so what’s the real reason to use this??

I've been guiltily watching the Sotheby's Real Estate ATV app, and some of those multi-million dollar houses are just so crap when it comes to the kitchens! I'm shocked I tell you!

One recent viewed property had a smallish weirdly appointed actually bizarre small kitchen, and also had a 'caterers kitchen' that was bigger than my great room, and had just about every gizmo and burner you could imagine. It was easily twice the size of the main house 'real' kitchen, and was just so odd and totally out of place. Who would want to hobble their huge expensive house with a joke of a kitchen, UNLESS you had hired a cooking staff that made all of your meals. So, why have a 'show' kitchen at all if all the real stuff is made in the 'caterers kitchen'.

I'm glad I don't have too much money to count. I would still like to be able to burn something once in a while, and have to eat it because... But I found out that people binge watch that app, so I feel less sneaky, yet still wonder who these people are that own that stuff. Yikes...

And so many of the houses look so *something*, like I could never ever imagine living in some of those places. Wow... Nope... Weird...

It looks cool?

 

[Davidov82]

Here we go again, we didn’t see what iPhone 13 looks a like, now they are talking about 14 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

 

[ksec]

I stopped reading at "Jon Prosser."

It is interesting how this sentiment has changed, there was a point where the whole Macrumors comment was "but Jon Prosser said"......

The 12 Pro is already at 1.5+mm for Camera bump, and even more so for 13, an iPhone with no bump will measure at 9mm or in the case of 13 over 10mm. When was the last time we had a mainstream phone over 10mm thick?

Personally I still have the thinnest iPhone, which is iPhone 6 working and that is 6.9mm and that is about close to perfection, may be slightly thinner at 6mm. But iPhon 14 at that thickness will definitely have monster battery though.

Yeah. I’ll just leave it at that.

I just saw my first one, in the wild. It stopped me in my tracks.

What I thought was it looks like a 'knock off iMac'. It looks like someone made a bunch, and didn't want to put a label on it to save being sued. Weird, huh...

BTW: Is the color coordinated sticker actually supposed to go on the chin? Would it fit if someone wanted to do that?

 

[AppleM]

Can we hope this might be the iPhone 13?

Will be great
