Other Rumored iPhone 14 Pro design looks awesome!

[Kierkegaarden]

If the final product looks anything like the rumored renders, this will be a classy looking device. I totally get why they separate the two module spaces. And even though the space above will not matter from a UI perspective, the UX will improve by the area becoming less noticeable — even though I don’t even notice the module space on my 13PM.

Not sure why there is any negativity on what we’re seeing (which won’t look as a good as the final product). Most likely the negative comments are from trolls, shills, or people who generally don’t like change. In any case, based on what they suggest, I’m glad these people are not making design decisions at Apple.

It’s going to look great! The only question now is which Android handset maker will copy their design first?

lol, can we see the rumoured renders or we just gotta imagine it

Only the 14 pro will be a little different

I was thinking the same thing. The only slight difference I will notice from my iPhone 12 is the notch will be slightly smaller. I just want a decent battery that doesn’t degrade as fast as the 12 has.

The design has been perfection since the 12, IMO. I’d rather see the notch reduced again on the 14 line. I wouldn’t mind seeing Apple keeping the base design as is and only making noticeable changes on the rear camera module from year to year.

Good point — I edited the title.

Pretty close to it. I think the 13 further refines the design, and the 14 Pro will refine even further. I hope they stick with the straight edge design going forward.

OP discussed the appearance of the 14s without providing a link. I giggled it later and found an article here at macrumors. What’s CAD?

Agreed - The squared-off edge is handsome and reminds me of the 5 and the 2016 SE.

What’s CAD?

Computer Aided Design.

Every time (almost) that there is speculation on a new model of iPhone, someone out there will make CAD renders based on what they've read or heard or seen will be the design of that new phone.

Then the community of Apple users (including this community) engages in opinionated warfare over questionable artist renderings about a model of iPhone that doesn't exist yet.

Thank you - very informative.

I don't mind the new design. As of now, anything is better than the same old notch. I'll be upgrading to a Pro Max from an 11 Pro Max.

BTW, looking forward to the creative wallpapers for the pill + hole punch.

probably will be a lot of lighter tones with iPhone in the wallpapers

I'm more or less indifferent to the pill + hole design - I'd probably prefer one slightly longer pill, but I don't really care. What interests me more is that based on these leaks and some mockups it looks like two potential things will happen:

1. There will be slightly more status bar space which I would appreciate to not have to jump into Control Center to see status as often
2. The bezels look every so slightly smaller so many the phone will get marginally smaller.

I'm getting pretty excited. If only they would release a true matte black option again rather than this "brownish" Graphite.

People like me take issue with it because the new design will decrease usable screen area, make the screens more expensive (in general and) if you need to have it replaced by Apple, make aftermarket replacements considerably more expensive and, knowing Apples lacklustre quality control, give people headaches with returns and refurbished devices because the color and brightness will probably not be uniform around the modules again - remember how Schiller called even color and brightness in the corners an advancement of the 11 Pro compared to the previous two generations? Something that should have been in the first place.
Ever thought about any of that?
Calling all people that disagree with something (you like) trolls, shills or general sceptics is pretty rude and narrow minded.

The pill design looks like it’s similar to the notch but with a few extra pixels visible. In reality it’ll make little difference to what people are used to now and many here are over thinking it like they always do every year when something new comes along. It’s all a marketing gimmick and gives the phone a different appearance without really changing the use-ability of the device.

The new notch from last year was deeper than the normal one and cut into 2:1 video, looking at the renders and from glass leaks (which I doubt are real tbh) this new placement sits even lower, so it will be even more visible watching 2:1 videos.

The display is supposed to be taller to make up for this

Just read that in the other thread where the dude overlayed it on recent notch screens as well.
Hopefully this will really be a none issue then. However, my other points are still valid.

Honestly if the iPhone 14 Pro phones really do end up looking like the rumoured leaks, then they will be contenders for the worst designed iPhones in the past decade.

I personally find it amusing that after all these years, someone finally put the “i” in iPhone into the actual design of the phone. I hope despite my pwm migraine sensitivity to Apple OLED phones I can use one, just so I can finally have a real i-Phone!

I’m afraid at my age it doesn’t take much to amuse me. 😁

I guess that must be an opinion. Because in my opinion the iPhone 4/4s with that stupid stainless steel band (really, Apple couldn't make it black?) is a contender.

So is the 6/6+ with the bugeye camera and antenna lines. And every model since the 6/6+ with the fugly camera boils that don't sit flush with the casing (yes, yes, I know, there's a technical reason for it bugging out). How about that one model where the camera is horizontal and makes the back of the phone look like a Bender reject from Futurama?!

On second thought…if Apple DOES keep the fugly camera boil then I may just end up agreeing with you!

I don’t know how you can possibly say that until you use it. Playing the guessing game that a phone is designed poorly before the product has been launched, let alone any public hands on use is just hot air.
