iPhone 14 Pro models rumored to have slightly bigger displays than the 13 Pro models

The iPhone 14 Pro is bound to mark a new era (at least in terms of somewhat different looks, you know) for Apple with this (initially) controversial pill and cutout shape that replaces the notch.

And as you might imagine, we are now at this time of the year when sources from Apple's supply chain reach out to leakers (carefully trying to not get fired at the same time), analysts furiously calculate their Apple statistics, and everyone tries to figure out what the yet-unannounced iPhone 14 series will be like. Well, well, AppleInsider reports about yet another new piece of info coming from a supply chain analyst, this time talking about a somewhat small increase in the display size of the iPhone 14 Pro models.

iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max: bigger displays (but how much is bigger?)

The thing is, the reported bigger display represents, in fact, quite a small difference when compared to the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max. The source that this info comes from is Ross Young, a supply chain analyst, and reputable leaker, who states that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max's displays will be larger by hundredths of an inch... drastic, we know.

The change is minimal, but it could actually be visible anyway (depending on the viewer, we might add). According to Young, the increase is due to the slimmer bezels around the display, which provide slight increases to the overall display available.


Young also adds later on in the tweet thread that he is not certain whether the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max's displays will go down to 1Hz (we are talking here about the refresh rate that Apple dubs ProMotion). This is actually something that could help the refresh rate to be more power-efficient, but we'll see if the new iPhones will be able to do that.

The iPhone 14 lineup is expected to be unveiled in the fall of this year, and as that time approaches, we expect more and more leaks to pile up about the new iPhones.

iPhone 14 series: here's a recap of what we know so far

In case you haven't been meticulously reading the news, here's a quick recap of what we expect (based on rumors and leaks) from the new iPhone lineup that we'll see in the fall.

First off, there won't be an iPhone 14 mini; instead, Apple will reportedly offer an iPhone 14 6.1-inch, a big iPhone 14 Max that is aimed at the customers that want a bigger display but not necessarily a Pro-branded iPhone, and the two Pro models we are talking about above. One of the main differences between the Pro and the non-Pro iPhone 14 is the hole and pill cutout shape that replaces the notch in the Pro models; regular models retain the notch one more year (at least).

On top of that, it seems Apple has planned a big upgrade in the iPhone 14 camera, and more specifically, for the Pro models. Reportedly, Cupertino is going to grace the Pros with a larger sensor for the main camera, a massive 1/1.3-inch 48MP sensor, to be precise.

Otherwise, the design is expected to remain largely similar to the iPhone 13 series (except for the notch as we already mentioned), and the Pro models might sport a new A16 Bionic chip, while the iPhone 14 and 14 Max might retain last year's A15 Bionic seen in the iPhone 13 series.
