iPhone 14 and iPhone 13
iPhone14Pro configuration exposure: exclamation mark + 4800w pixels | Xiaomi 12Ultra's latest case
is still half a year away from the release of the next iPhone. There are more and more rumors about the iPhone14 series. The first is the front design. The iPhone13 series is designed to To make room for the camera, the bangs were forced to narrow. On the iPhone 14, an exclamation mark will be used to replace the bangs, and there is a certain probability that it is exclusive to the Pro series. Which one do you think looks better with the bangs?
The big slot in this design is still asymmetrical, but just like the bangs 4 years ago, when it was just released, it was complained, and it was accustomed to complaining, and it would be really fragrant if the price was reduced...
In addition to the new bangs design, in terms of chips, The standard version of the iPhone 14 may still be equipped with the A15, and the camera specifications of the standard version will also inherit the main camera on the iPhone 13 Pro + ultra-wide-angle supporting autofocus, which basically conforms to the iPhone camera iteration rules.
It has been reported before that the iPhone 14 Pro series will be equipped with 8GB RAM, and the iPhone 14 standard version will be equipped with 6GB RAM, so this year's Pro series main camera will break through 1200W pixels and embark on a high-pixel route to ensure resolution in the range of 1 to 3 times. It can completely eliminate the sharpening algorithm that everyone complains about.
In addition, after the iPhone 13 Pro uses ProMotion, there is still no function point that relies on 120Hz high-speed brushing on the iPhone, so the iPhone 14 Pro may also support the 4K 120Hz video recording specification. In the upcoming iOS16, it may also be possible to add a 1Hz screen display function for ProMotion models.
As for the issues of charging, signal, and NFC, you can look forward to it, but don't expect too much.
At present, the Xiaomi Mi 12 series has released a total of 3 new models, 12x, 12 and 12Pro. It is reasonable to say that there will definitely be a 12Ultra super cup. According to the current news, the 12Ultra is still the main image camera. relatively fierce.
However, the design has changed from the camera + sub-screen of the previous generation 11Ultra to a round Oreo similar to the Honor Magic series. The arrangement of the design under the continued optimization of the 11Ultra is actually quite good. That's really indescribable.
In terms of processors, the current news is that 12Ultra will launch the TSMC version of the Snapdragon 8Gen1Plus. In terms of power consumption and energy efficiency, it should be better than the current Samsung 4nm Snapdragon 8Gen1. Of course, how much better depends on the advertisements. .
Apple's lawyer's letter is really no deterrent, and now even the iPhone 14 series has no secrets. After the renders were fully revealed, even the price began to be revealed further. Let’s not say whether the news is true or not, let’s take a look at the appearance and price of the iPhone 14 series.
According to previously released renderings, the iPhone 14 series will cancel the mini version and add a Max version. Among them, the iPhone 14 and 14 Max continue to use the small bangs design. As for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, they use centered double punch holes. As for further price increases.
It is reported that the price of the iPhone 14 remains unchanged from $799, the price of the 14 Max has risen to $899, the price of the 14 Pro is $1099, and the price of the 14 Pro Max is $1199.
Regarding the configuration of the iPhone 14 series, there was an exaggerated statement before. It is said that the two standard versions of the iPhone 14 will continue to use the A15 processor, and the Pro version will use the A16 processor. If the above revelations are true, no matter how you look at it, the iPhone 13 in 2022 will be more attractive.
Recently, the New Year's Day of major platforms has begun, and various subsidy wars are surging. iPhone 13 prices are lower again.
Originally, the iPhone 13 was to increase the quantity and reduce the price. The storage of the standard version came directly to 128GB, and the price only started at 5,999 yuan. In addition, the size of the bangs has been reduced to a certain extent. It is equipped with an A15 processor, the battery capacity has been upgraded to 3095 mAh, there are 12 million rear dual cameras, and the screen is a 6.1-inch super retina XDR screen.
After tens of billions of subsidies, the price of the iPhone 13 is now only 5,289 yuan, a drop of as much as 700 yuan. In addition, the prices of iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max have also dropped to a certain extent, almost all around 700 yuan. If the standard version of the iPhone 14 is not changed a lot, the iPhone 13 in 2021 is more suitable for purchase no matter what.
Apple 13 series adds new colors
at 2:00 am Beijing time on the 9th, Apple held a spring new product launch conference, and released a total of 6 new products including iPhone SE3, new color matching of iPhone 13 series, iPad Air5, M1 Ultra, Studio Display and Mac Studio.
The most concerned is the M1 Ultra chip, which is made up of two M1 Max pieces and is the strongest chip at this stage. The conference also released the desktop Mac Studio based on this chip.
In addition, the previously exposed color matching green really appeared. Among them, the iPhone 13 Pro/Max models added a Cangling green version, and the iPhone 13/mini added a green version. The new colorway will be available for pre-order this Friday and will go on sale on March 18.
U.S. stocks closed down 1.17% on Tuesday, at $157.44 per share, with a market value of $2,569.333 billion.
Apple brings a new green color scheme
At the new product launch in spring 2021, Apple brought a new purple color scheme to the iPhone 12 series. As soon as this version was launched, it became a hot search on Weibo, becoming a new hot item and contributing huge sales to Apple. The success in 2021 has given Apple a taste of the sweetness, so in 2022, new colors have been added to the iPhone 13 series.
Among them, the two models of the iPhone 13 Pro/Max have added a Cangling green version, and the iPhone 13/mini has a green version. The normal version of green and the Pro version of Cangling Green are two completely different greens. Cangling green is often made of multi-layer nano-scale metal ceramics, which has a matte texture and light color. The normal version of green is a more saturated green.
The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are now available in five colors: Yuanfeng Blue, Graphite, Gold, Silver, and the new Cangling Green.
The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini come in six colors: red, starlight, midnight, blue, pink, and a new green.
The new colorway will be available for pre-order this Friday and will go on sale on March 18. In terms of price, the iPhone 13 starts at 5199 and the iPhone 13 Pro starts at 7999.
This spring new product launch conference, also officially released the new iPhone SE mobile phone. Compared with the previous generation of iPhone SE, this generation of Apple has inserted the A15 bionic chip into the mobile phone, so that the entry-level iPhone SE has the strongest chip on the mobile phone side, with more powerful performance, and supports 5G mobile network. In terms of weight, it is 4g lighter than the previous generation.
The official said that the video playback time has increased by 2 hours compared with the previous generation, reaching 15 hours, and the battery life has been improved. The new iPhone SE is available in three colors: Midnight, Starlight, and Red.
In terms of price, the new iPhone SE 64GB version is priced at 3499 yuan, 128GB version is priced at 3899 yuan, and the 256GB version is priced at 4699 yuan.
The latest chip combines the two chips in 2021.
As early as October 2020, Apple released the self-developed chip M1 series. After more than a year, the M1 series chips are equipped with MacBook Pro series, iMac, Mac mini and many other Apple devices, and at Apple's spring conference in 2022, Apple officially brought the M1 series' first CPU chip, the M1 ULTRA.
The M1 ULTRA chip is actually a combination of two M1 Max chips that will be released in 2021. This is the first time Apple has adopted CPU splicing technology.
When Apple introduced this product, it said like a joke to the audience: "There is another feature of the M1 Max that was not revealed until today." That is, the M1 Max has reserved an interface for a long time, and the UltraFusion technology can be used to achieve die-to-die Grain-level splicing, combining two M1 Max into one.
The M1 Ultra has a 20-core CPU, a maximum 64-core graphics processor and a 32-core neural network engine. It supports a maximum of 128GB unified memory and a maximum memory bandwidth of 800GB/s, which is directly doubled compared to the M1 Max.
With the launch of the M1 Ultra, Apple also brought a new Mac with this chip, the Mac Studio. This small computer can be equipped with two performance chips, M1 Max or M1 Ultra. The former starts at 14,999 yuan and the latter starts at 29,999 yuan.
After the Mac Studio was announced, Apple also brought a great companion: the Studio Display. Studio Display has a built-in Apple A13 chip, the same chip on the iPhone 11 series, that enables the 12-megapixel camera to achieve automatic task centering.
In terms of price, Studio Display’s standard glass version starts at 11,499 yuan, and the nano-textured glass version starts at 13,499 yuan. The “stand with adjustable inclination and height” can become the most expensive combination, priced at 16,499 yuan.
iPad equipped with M1 chip
The spring conference also officially brought a new generation of iPad Air.
The biggest feature of the new tablet is that it is equipped with the M1 chip. Compared with the A14 chip carried by the previous generation iPad Air, the CPU performance is increased by 60% and the GPU performance is increased by 2 times. At the same time, the starting price of 4399 yuan has dropped by 400 compared with the old model, which further increases the attractiveness.
The new iPad Air supports P3 wide color gamut, True Tone display, 500 nits of brightness and anti-reflective coating. Available in five colorways: Space Gray, Starlight, Pink, Purple, and New Blue.
Another major upgrade of the new iPad Air is the front camera, which is equipped with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with a character centering function. At this point, all current iPad models support character centering.
Although it has an M1 chip, it is still an entertainment-oriented iPad product. It can be seen from the colorful color matching and relatively affordable price that it is still the iPad prepared for most people, but Apple has further pushed up the peak of computing power on the basis of the original. No matter playing games, it is simple For office work and movie editing, use iPad Air.
In terms of the price that everyone is most concerned about, the new iPad Air is priced from 4399 yuan, available in 64/256GB versions, and has Wi-Fi and 5G versions. It will be officially released on March 18.
It's just a pile
of stuff, Apple's first launch in 2022. This time the new "Cangling Green" iPhone 13.
The stacking is a summary of this conference. The iPhone SE, iPad Air, and finally the M1 Ultra and Mac Studio, which were launched, all fit this idea. However, the essential reasons for the stacking of each product are very different.
The "SE" of iPhone SE is "Special Edition", which means special edition. However, there is nothing special about this product, especially compared with Android friends in the same price range. This time, the iPhone SE has two materials, A15 and 5G, which are expected by many people. After reading a circle of air reviews, it is generally believed that this machine is mainly for non-Apple users, to experience the complete ecology of iOS at a low cost.
When it comes to the iPad Air, Apple has piled up the M1 chip, but the screen is still not high-brush, and the storage is still in 64G and 256G.
As a heavy user, the iPad Pro has been used for three years, mainly for three things: reading articles, handwriting notes, and swiping videos. I never feel that the processor is a bottleneck restricting performance. I didn't feel the bottleneck of the iPad, and I also didn't feel the need to use Pro-level performance. It really is a "pragmatism" fruit powder.
The climax of the entire conference was the M1 Ultra, a new member of the M1 chip family. Really a model of "stacking".
The design of the M1 Ultra is very simple and straightforward. Two M1 Maxs are put together through a certain bus interface to become a super doubled version of the M1: 20 CPUs, 64 GPUs, 32 neural network engines, 128GB unified memory, 800GBps memory Bandwidth, over 100 billion transistors, TSMC 5nm process. As a product currently available on the market, it is the top in the industry, without a doubt.
Chiplet chips, and the latest interconnection protocol UCIe between chips. UCIe is still hot, and Apple directly gave the product: no need for UCIe, and the interconnection of super-large "core particles" has been completed.
This seemingly simple stacking design is actually not simple. This is a system problem, from chip process, packaging, logic design, to software adaptation and integration, every link needs to be handled well. Intel will develop a 12th-generation large and small core, and it will also design scheduling software to efficiently allocate tasks on which core to run. Microsoft will specifically optimize the operating system to fully release the performance and advantages of each core.
At the press conference, Apple lightly mentioned that the two M1 Maxs were connected together by UltraFusion technology - giving people a feeling of "nowhere in the clouds". Of course, there have also been media disclosures in the past few days, UltraFusion is essentially based on TSMC's fifth-generation CoWoS Chiplet technology, and more optimizations have been made on this basis.
What kind of computer can use the super double M1 Ultra? Apple's answer: Mac Studio.
Needless to say, the performance specifications of Mac Studio can be understood as Apple's most powerful Mac computer. Again, this is beyond recognition: how many studios need to process 18 tracks of 8K ProRes video simultaneously?
There should be many such studios, and they should be producing millions of films. It is not necessary to think about whether to spend tens of thousands of yuan to upgrade the computer and bring even a few percent improvement in work efficiency. What's more, the improvement brought by Mac Studio is far more than a few percent.
Apple's slogan for Mac Studio is "Dream Making". Sure enough, there is no cost to dreaming, but the cost of dreaming is huge.
It is also a pile of materials, some of which are ecological, some of which are knife skills, some of which are technology, and some of which are dreams. 12 years ago, Simon Sinek introduced in a TED talk that leaders first say "why do it", then "how to do it", and finally say "what to do". Apple followed this principle in the days of Steve Jobs, and it hasn't changed until now.
