APPLE just dropped the iPhone 13 this past September, but tech analysts and experts are already speculating about the iPhone 14.
The already-coveted smartphone, which is expected to launch in 2022, is rumored to have exciting features and a brand new look.

Although it’s still early in the rumor cycle, several Apple blogs and media outlets think they might have the scoop on the brand new device.
“You can expect new entry-level and Pro models and a complete redesign,” Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said.
No notch
One of the biggest rumors hovering around the iPhone 14 is a no-notch design for the Pro models, instead, the pricer version of the series will sport a hole-punch display.
This feature would allow the phones to have a larger display screen while still leaving room for the front-facing camera.
The “normal” versions of the iPhone 14 will continue to rock the notch, according to several outlets, as well as supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Predictions of a notch-less iPhone are hardly new and have been circulating the web since Apple released the innovative iPhone X in 2017.
No more iPhone minis
A number of analysts believe that iPhone minis will be removed entirely from the series in 2022, instead only offering a four phone lineup.
This is another rumor that has floated around in the past, specifically before the launch of the iPhone 13.
The experts also believe that the series 14 lineup will come in new sizes.
The new size for the iPhone 14 is predicted to be 6.1-inches, while the iPhone 14 Max will stand at 6.7-inches.
The new size for both the “Pro” versions is expected to be a standard 6.1-inches across the board.
Flattened rear camera
Another popular rumor surrounding the iPhone 14’s design is a flattened camera on the back of the phone, according to Gurman.
The design, which would prevent the camera from protruding from the rest of the frame, would give the gadget a sleeker look.
Still, for this design to be possible, Apple would have to increase the thickness of the iPhone’s frame overall.
Upgraded chipset
Following suit with previous iPhone generations, Apple will likely bless the iPhone 14 with a more powerful chipset, that might be called A16 Bionic.
The only real mystery that remains regarding the new chipset is whether it will utilize a 3nm or a 4nm manufacturing process.
Apple’s most recent chipset, which is currently powering the iPhone 13, uses a 5nm manufacturing process and is called the A15 Bionic.
