The iPhone 14 (provisional) series, which is expected to be released in 2022. There were rumors that the Pro model would have no notch (the notch at the top of the screen) and would have a punchhole screen, that is, a "design to make a hole in the display and place a selfie camera under it." Meanwhile, major media are reporting observations that support that expectation. Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg reporter who is familiar with Apple's inside information, said in the latest issue of the newsletter "Power On" that some versions of the "iPhone 14" have major redesigns. According to the article, he will replace the notch with a punchhole screen to create "a small window that can make the camera shine without a perfect notch." "Make the camera shine" here probably means the TrueDepth camera (composed of a dot projector, floodlight illuminator, etc.) of the face recognition system Face ID.
The mechanism of Face ID is that the proximity sensor first detects "someone is approaching". Tens of thousands of infrared beams are emitted from the dot projector of the TrueDepth camera, and the reflected beam is captured by the infrared camera and analyzed by the image processor of the main unit. At the same time, it is a mechanism to take a picture of the face with infrared rays emitted from the floodlight illuminator so that someone can be identified even in a dark place. Here, if the notch is simply replaced with a punch hole, each element of the TrueDepth camera will be less exposed to the user directly, and the accuracy of face recognition may be reduced at the cost of a wider screen.
Therefore, Apple Insider in the United States speculates that it will be an under display system, that is, a method that "irradiates infrared rays through the embedded display under the screen", but this face recognition technology by the under screen camera will be commercialized by ZTE in China. I haven't reached it yet, but I have published it. In addition, for the Pro model of iPhone 14, the step of the rear camera disappears and it becomes flat as a whole, the resolution of the wide-angle camera is increased from the current 12MP (12 million pixels) to 48MP (48 million pixels), RAM is There are rumors that it will be 8GB, a titanium housing will be adopted, and the physical SIM card slot will disappear.
Gurman also said in the same newsletter that the next iPhone SE will support 5G connectivity. This is not new as it has been reported by various leakers and supply chain sources, but if the rumor that the initial price is about 31,000 yen or more is true, it seems to be a big threat to competitors' 5G smartphones. is.
