The rumors about the iPhone 14 do not stop seeing the light and are becoming more concrete. Yesterday we knew that only the iPhone 14 Pro will carry the new A16 chip while the rest of the models would carry the A15 chip that the iPhone 13 currently mounts. Today's rumors suggest that Apple would discontinue the 'mini' model y would increase the screen size of the Pro models to fit your new design. The design, as we have been commenting over the last few weeks, would abandon the notch to have a pill-shaped design.
Larger size for the iPhone 14 Pro and the abandonment of the 'mini' model
The iPhone 14 for many could be a disappointment. There are many users who comment on social networks about the latest rumors. Just yesterday we learned that it is likely that only the Pro models will carry the new A16 (or A15X) chip while the rest will mount the A15 chip. We also knew that all models would reach 6GB of RAM. This is a novelty because currently only the Pro models have 6GB while the rest have 4GB.
The latest news from 9to5mac they point out Apple's abandonment of the 'mini' model. Therefore, it would mean that the big apple would not market an iPhone 14 mini with the smallest screen as it had been happening two generations ago. This would leave the iPhone 14 with the following distribution:
- 6,1-inch iPhone in standard model and Pro model
- 6,7-inch iPhone in standard mode and Pro model
In this way, Apple would abandon the 5,4-inch iPhoe mini in its fourteenth generation. However, The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max would include an increase in screen size throughout to adapt to the new pill-shaped design that you can see throughout the renders of this article.
Finally, from the American media they comment that Apple continues to work on satellite technology which was rumored so much last September for the iPhone 13. It is a technology that would allow users to send emergency messages when there is no mobile coverage through the satellite connection. It is unknown if the technology will reach the iPhone 14 or the iPhone 14 Pro. What is clear is that Apple is still working on it under the secret name "Stewie".
The Mini should not be abandoned. I think that many of us have found the perfect size in it and if it is discontinued we will look for the brand that gives us an alternative.
