Apple is preparing to release the iPhone 14 series, the company's next-generation smartphone, later this year. Some significant data regarding the forthcoming iPhone models have leaked online ahead of the unveiling.
Now, a new report from the South Korean government The Elec offers insights regarding the Apple iPhone 15's design, which will be released next year.
According to reports, the iPhone 15 will have an OLED display and the Face ID sensors will be buried under the screen, so they won't be visible. This indicates that it will be an Apple smartphone with a real punch-hole display.
According to the article, the Cupertino-based tech giant would rely on Samsung's under-panel camera (UPC) technology, which debuted with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3's internal screen.
According to sources, Samsung is working with OTI Lumionics on a new under-display camera technology that will debut with the Galaxy Z Fold5 smartphone, while the Galaxy Z Fold4 will continue to use the present technology.
The Apple iPhone 15 will only have the front-facing camera exposed, making the smartphone resemble the bulk of Android smartphones in terms of appearance during the last few years. Also, it's possible that this substantial design change will only affect iPhone 15 Pro devices and not standard iPhone 15 models.
Apple is likely to release four variants in the iPhone 14 series: the iPhone 14, 14 Max, 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max. The front-facing camera and Face ID sensors are believed to be housed in a twin pill-shaped cutout on the Pro models, but the non-Pro models will retain a notch on top of the screen.
Furthermore, according to sources, only the iPhone 14 Pro versions will be equipped with an Apple A16 Bionic engine, while the standard models would continue to use the A15 chipset, with variances in memory technology.
