Apple's iPhone variants are drifting further and further apart. The iPhone14 is set to expand that gap massively, and the effect could be huge.
Apple’s iPhone 14 is likely launching in a little over two months, and we already have a fairly good picture ofwhat’s coming. This year, Apple is predicted to make three changes that’ll differentiate the base iPhone 14 from its more Pro siblings. It’ll come with a different design, a weaker camera, and an inferior chipset.
What Apple had typically done in the past that differentiated it from Android phones was to keep the fundamentals more or less the same. Yes, the iPhone XR and XS were different, but they had the same rear camera and the same processors so that imaging and performance were in sync. With the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, displays drifted apart, but the broad strokes of the devices remained the same.
The processor is the most striking change, and that one is predicted to stick across generations, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Although Android phone makers now broadly use the same processors across their flagship lines, there’s still some differentiation. The Motorola Edge 30 Pro uses the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, while the regular Motorola Edge 30 uses the Snapdragon 778+ chip.
Changing the meaning of ‘default’ iPhone The iPhone 13, the current “default” iPhone, isn’t a bad phone. As many people have pointed out, its chips outpace anything you’d find on the Android market. If Apple were to keep it for another year, it would still outpace everything released and provide better battery performance relative to size. The camera? Still pretty reliable. The screen? Still pretty good to look at.
