In a note to clients — as noted by AppleInsider — analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says potential demand for the unreleased iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro series is continuing to grow in China.
This is likely because Apple “almost dominates” the high-end smartphone market in China after Huawei exited the 5G market in the wake of a U.S. ban that left the company unable to source many of its core components and technologies. The gap left by Huawei means that there are a greater number of potential iPhone users in the market than there were before, Kuo said.
Here are some of the rumors about the iPhone 14 line-up:
° Some models may cost US$100 more than their iPhone 13 counterparts.
° Apple make its latest A16 processor exclusive to the Pro models in the iPhone 14 lineup.
° At least some of the models will be eSIM-only.
° The iPhone 14 Pro will contain 8GB of RAM.
° Some will sport 120GHz displays.
° The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models will have a hole + pill design.
° The top two models have also have OLED screens.
° They will support the Wi-Fi 6E standard.
° Black, white, blue, red and purple will be the color options for the iPhone 14, while graphite, gold, silver and purple will be available on the iPhone 14 Pro.
° There will be a new purple colorway for both iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro that shifts in tone depending on the lighting.
