Unfortunately, all which may include a $100 value hike in comparison with the iPhone 13 Pro telephones, based on one leak.
In distinction, the common, non-Pro iPhone 14 is anticipated to be a little bit of a nothingburger for these trying ahead to large modifications.
The base iPhone 14 may not even improve the chip contained in the cellphone, choosing the A15 as an alternative of the brand new A16 SoC. That stated, the iPhone 14 may bump its RAM from 4GB to 6GB, providing some modest efficiency enhancements in some conditions.
Unfortunately for many who like to make use of their telephones, Apple is anticipated to drop the comparatively low-selling mini dimension that we noticed within the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineups.
