Apple CEO Steve Jobs watches a video of the new iPhone 3G as he delivers the keynote address at the Apple Worldwide Web Developers Conference June 9, 2008 in San Francisco, California. Jobs kicked off the 2008 WWDC conference with a keynote where he announced an upgraded version of the popular iPhone called the iPhone 3G.

The Cupertino-based tech giant is also reportedly ditching the iPhone "Mini" variant, which the iPhone 13 series still had, for the release of the "14" lineup in 2022.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Leak

As per a news story by 9to5Mac, the mid-range variant of the iPhone 14 is going to sport the same display resolutions as the higher-end iPhone 13 models, such as the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

On the other hand, the upcoming higher-end flagship phones of Apple, both the iPhone 14 Pro Max and the iPhone 14 Pro, which is currently codenamed D73 and D74, are getting a taller display than their predecessors.

Not to mention that these higher-end iPhones are also reportedly flaunting the new dual-hole Face ID design, replacing the dated notch look. Thus, the need for a much larger display.

What's more, the sources of the news outlet also confirmed previous reports, saying that two iPhone 14 models will be sporting new Apple chips, while the other two will settle for the A15 chip.

Reputable Apple analyst and leaker Ming-Chi Kuo recently predicted that the rumored A16 chip is exclusively powering the Pro Model of iPhone 14 due to the chip shortage.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 24: People shop at the Fifth Avenue Apple Store during the launch of Apple’s new iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini on September 24, 2021 in New York City. The new phones come equipped with a A15 Bionic chip, improved dual-camera system and longer battery life than the iPhone 12. The iPhone 13 Mini starts at $729, and the iPhone 13 starts at $829.

Instead, the new report says that the Cupertino tech giant is letting go of the smallest iPhone in the flagship series, known as the "mini."

The sources of 9to5Mac also said that the iPhone 14 series that currently goes by the name D27 and D28 only has three variants in the works, such as a 5.4 inch, a 6.1 inch, and a 6.7-inch version.

That said, Apple is rumored to be discontinuing the "mini" option this year, which debuted during the iPhone 12 series.

iPhone 14 Satellite Features

According to a recent report by Apple Insider, the sources of 9to5Mac also claims that the iPhone maker is currently working on the previously rumored satellite communication features for its upcoming flagship mobile devices.

However, it is worth noting that it is still unclear if the satellite feature would be ready in time for the debut of the iPhone 14 this 2022.
