New details have started to leak on the iPhone 14. And it looks like this is the iPhone that changes everything and the entire iPhone lineup for this year should be better than it's ever been before. But some believe that Apple is making some really big mistakes with these new iPhones. And there is maybe just a little bit of controversy surrounding Apple's latest ingredients. everything you need to know about the 2022 iPhone 14 lineup in addition to those all-new Apple, silicon, Max AirPods, Pro two new iPads and so much more. The 2022 iPhone lineup is set to be one of the biggest upgrades and one of the biggest changes that the iPhone has seen in years. Now right off the bat, one of the very first changes you'll notice here with the iPhone 14 is of course at first glance, it's designed.

You'll notice here that Apple is doubling down on this industrial design language we're seeing on a number of their different products. These are box your edges squared-off corners, the iPhone 14 looks more substantial, more dimensional, it's going to be thicker than previous iPhones, I don't know how else to say but the iPhone 14 is not the thin and lightweight design that we saw with the iPhone six and success and probably for good reason because there was some controversy surrounding those design choices. But I know a lot of you guys out there are not a fan of this box your design, it kind of looks like the iPhone four, it doesn't have the rounded edges that a lot of people found was much more comfortable to hold in their hands. If you were a fan of those thinner letter way phones, that's probably not going to be the case on the iPhone 14. But one positive to this design is that because the phone is supposed to be getting thicker, that should lead to hopefully better cooling better battery life more room for components inside stuff like that, which we'll get into, but also should lead to the removal of the camera bump on the back, which a lot of people hated.
Now the camera apparatus on the back should be flush with the back of the iPhone, so will no longer be protruding and sort of wiggling around on the table every time you set your iPhone down. We've also got some new information here on another huge change coming to the iPhone 14. And that is with the knots. According to now to multiple credible sources, Apple is at least testing the removal of the notch on at least one Pro and iPhone 420 22 Probably the 14 Pro max. And maybe we could see this removed off of both the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. But not just that. We're also hearing now that Apple is going to move the face ID system that true depth Camera Tech Under the display. So you're still going to have full access and full convenient use of face ID and the security of face ID but it would be sort of hidden away under the display. And also according to credible Apple leaker, Dylan DK T. Apple is at least experimenting with a pill-shaped cutout and not a circular cutout that we've seen on multiple different devices and Android phones over the last couple of years. And that's sort of the latest that we know right now, I don't know if this is a micro notch, a micro-nano notch, whatever the case may be whatever shape Apple decides to do it, it would be nice to sort of get more screen real estate back and sort of have the notch be sort of gone to the wayside.
And also this little pill-shaped cut-out might be a way for Apple to sort of differentiating the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max from every other slab of glass out there and sort of make it stand out from Android phones. And even more numerous suggests that Apple won't give us a whole punch cut out or a pill cut out. But sort of a combination of both on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max not sure if this is just for cosmetics just to make the iPhone 14 Pro models look different. Or if this is for the face ID system to work more efficiently. But this rumor is coming from display Analyst Ross Young who has been pretty spot on recently with a really good track record. So what do you think? What kind of notch Do you think we'll see on the Pro models of the iPhone 14?
And also speaking of sort of face ID What about touch ID there have been a lot of rumors since the iPhone 13 that we were going to get to this dream combination of both face ID and touch ID you'd have the best of both worlds. And obviously, it didn't happen with the iPhone 13. And now there is sort of new questions and new speculation on whether it will happen with the iPhone 14 And I'm sorry to burst your bubble and give you some bad news. But as of right now, we've got no concrete information. No credible sources can confirm that touch ID is coming back to the iPhone 14 Pro. We've heard Apple is testing it, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen at least this year on the 2022 iPhone 14 lineup, I'm sorry to say, And speaking of bursting bubbles, I've got some more bad news to report on another brand new iPhone launching hopefully sooner than later in 2022 and that is the all-new iPhone SE three that we could see in just a month or two.
The last iPhone SE is to be released. The iPhone SE two did come in the form of a press release Back in the spring of 2020, so it would make sense for Apple to sort of two years later, give us an update to this phone. Now, when we had sort of first heard rumors about the iPhone SE three, there was a lot of lofty talk about some big redesigns we were going to see this iPhone 11 design with a larger display, we were going to have two cameras on the back, we could see a hole punch sort of cut out on the display that would sort of closely follow the design of the iPhone 14 Pro.
And also probably the biggest shocker of all would be Touch ID built into the power button. Now what we know right now, and according to again to accurate leaker Dylan dKt, is that Apple is working on this, and this new design might actually become, but probably not until the iPhone SE four in 2024, or 2025. Instead, the new iPhone SE is coming this year, and mostly just some hardware improvements on the inside, we should be seeing this new 5g support, hopefully, a newer Apple silicone processor, maybe the 15, bionic from the iPhone 13 series, and maybe some other smaller improvements, maybe a better physical camera, maybe some smart HDR processing, getting tweaked in there as well for better photos and videos. But as for the design on the outside, not a whole lot is expected to change. Same iPhone a body, same touch ID, home button, same single camera, if you're sort of hoping for this bigger refresh this bigger redesign of the iPhone, I see.
Don't get your hopes up. Because again, this is just like, Touch ID is not going to happen this year. Another huge change coming to the iPhone 14 lineup is the addition of an all-new model, which is great news for a lot of you guys out there. But also really bad news for others because I'm sorry to say if you haven't heard this before, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But the iPhone 14 Mini is not going to exist. The 12 Mini and 13 minis were fantastic phones and sort of the dream iPhone for many of you out there, but the mini lineup is not sticking around in 2022. Instead, the iPhone 14 lineup is going to look a little something like this, there's going to be a 6.1 inch iPhone 14, a 6.1 inch iPhone 14 Pro, a 6.7 inch iPhone 14 Pro Max, and then a 6.7 inch iPhone 14 Max. So instead of a smaller version of the iPhone 14, Apple is going to make a bigger version sort of geared towards those out there who want the biggest screen iPhone possible. But they don't need the Pro and camera setup with the three cameras. They don't need the promotion display. They don't care about ProRes or any of the other pro features.
They just want the biggest iPhone display possible so it's easier to read the text and to record videos and stuff like that. They just want the larger iPhone display without the Pro features and the pro price tag. And that should be where the iPhone 14 Max comes in and sort of checks all the boxes now getting away from that bad news and pack two good news. Let's talk about the camera improvements that come into the iPhone 14 series. Now, rumors on this are a bit a little bit sparse and there's sort of been some mixed information. But as of right now we at least think we know that on the iPhone 14 Pro Series at the camera the main camera is going to get a significant upgrade going from 12 megapixels up to 48 megapixels for better photos and hopefully better videos as well.
Now to be clear, Apple is probably not going to give you 48-megapixel stills from this 48-megapixel sensor. But instead, Apple would use a technique used by many other companies called pixel binning to combine those pixels and give you better 12-megapixel stills that should be hopefully you know higher quality, maybe higher resolution and also sort of giving that neural engine and smart HDR processing sort of more data to work with to hopefully give you better photos and better photo capabilities on your all-new iPhone 14 phone. Also, we had heard some rumors about this Astrophotography mode coming to the iPhone 13. That didn't cut. And maybe we could see that with the iPhone 14 series and also 8k video recording. This has been an odd rumor, but there have been some rumors that 8k video recording is coming to the iPhone 14 Pro. Will we see it this year or next year? Not exactly sure how this one pans out.
But hey, Lisa has got to tell you that right now. That is a rumor on the table. There has also been some history on what could be inside of the all-new iPhone 14 lineup. We have heard rumors that Apple is testing a new vapor chamber cooling system to sort of keep all the components inside these iPhones running as cool and as optimal as possible. And also what could the chip be an Apple sort of follows what they've done for years and years it would be the A 16 bionic it'd be more powerful, more efficient, should be able to handle anything you want to throw at your shiny new iPhone 14. But of course just to say this has been unconfirmed. There has been some speculation and of course rumor year after year that Apple could put a new chip inside the iPhone maybe it's an N chip this year it's the two or a modified version of the Mone. I'm not sure why people want this and what the benefit of an M chip would be inside the iPhone 14 If you have thoughts, let me know down below. But that has been at least a rumor that Apple could change if the chip though, it's probably not going to happen. And also, we have heard rumors now that Apple could remove the SIM tray on the iPhone 14 lineup as well.
This is one of those things that hope doesn't become reality, because I sort of like the convenience of physically swapping Sims in and out, it's just sort of nice to have. And I know the removal of the SIM tray would give a little bit more room and Apple would sort of adopting, he said, I'm not exactly sure how that would play out or if it would just be North America or internationally. So a lot of questions on that, but I for one, like the SIM tray, and I hope Apple doesn't remove it please Apple, give me at least one more year with my SIM tray. And of course, we still don't know what colors the iPhone 14 could come in what new storage options it could have all those little fine details will soon hopefully be emerging. But what we do know with a pretty good degree of certainty is that the iPhone 14 lineup will be launching in the fall of 2022, probably in September or maybe October of 2022.
And that is about everything we know right now there have been some wild leaks and wild rumors about what we could see what we cannot see. But as of right now, the big story with the iPhone 14 is the design. It's the removal of the notch and hopefully a much improved main camera on the back of these shiny new iPhones. I for one cannot wait to see them debut in the fall and hopefully more leaks sort of continue to come out over the next couple of months. And we get more and more precious info on the new iPhone hopefully coming soon. So what are your guys' thoughts on this? What are you most excited to see with the iPhone 14? Are you sad there will be an iPhone 14 Mini Do you think that Apple could give us some new feature in the iPhone 14 that we've long been waiting for?
