But that’s not going to happen.
The focus this year will probably be on the screen and the cameras.
“Photography being my side hobby, a higher quality resolution is essential.

With the periscope camera on the iPhone, I can avoid paying for a high-end camera.”
Screen Time
We expect the iPhone 14 Pro to get an all-new screen design.
“I’ve seen a number of tweets expressing concern that hole punches are more obstructive than the notch.
Apple
Like recent Apple Watches, the iPhone 14 Pro will also almost certainly have an always-on display.
This will make information glanceable and may end upmaking iPhones less (or more) distracting.
This would be an extension of that.

Camera, Action
The other significant change we expect is the camera.
Apple may jump from the 12MP sensor size it has preferred for years up to 48MP.
This will be especially useful in low light, reducing noise and increasing detail.
We may also see a new periscope camera design in one or both iPhones.
Currently, lens size is limited by the phone’s thickness, which is why we have camera bumps.
This would allow for longer telephoto lenses.
Initial rumors saidthis would first be seen on 2023’s iPhone 15, but fingers crossed for this year.
And… who cares?
The A-series chips have been more than fast enough for years now.
Theyre so fast that Apple now uses a more complex variant in its Macs.
Nobody needs their phone to be faster or more powerful.
We want better cameras, longer battery life, and, well, thats it, really.
Thats what makes us upgrade our phones, especially in years without new shape designs to get us excited.
Its shaping up to be quite an exciting iPhone launch, despite the lack of a new shape.
After all, its whats inside that counts, right?
