A couple of months ago, Apple launched the iPhone 13 series, which was available in four models. But now, a recent report has revealed some interesting information regarding the upcoming iPhone 14 models.
According to a 9To5Macreport, sources close to the matter have stated that the new iPhone models will have different chips. Furthermore, the sources have also claimed that the Pro models may now feature a taller display due to a new design and the company is even working on new advanced satellite features as well for the 14 series. Recent tumors have suggested that the Cupertino based giant’s iPhone 14 series will still retain four new models, although, there won’t be a mini model this year.
The sources added that the new iPhone 14 (codenamed D27 and D28) will arrive in a 6.1 inch and 6.7 versions. In other words, the 5.4 inch iPhone mini will be discontinued. These models will even have the same display resolution as the current iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. However, the screen on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max (codenamed D73 and D74) might be larger than the previous generation. In other words, it will have a new “notch + pill” design that will replace the notch.
The sources also confirmed that there will be twp new iPhone 14 models that house the A15 chipset. Meanwhile, the other two models will have two different versions of the A15 chipset. One of these will have an extra GPU core and 6Gb of RAM. The brand may even rebrand this chipset as the “A15X”, similar to what it had done for the 2020 iPad Pro, which featured A12Z chip.
Xiaomi MIX 5 will be the next flagship offering from the Chinese tech giant. The smartphone’s leaks have been sporadic lately and the only news we learned about the series recently was for the Mix Fold 2.

To those unaware, Surge is the company’s self-developed chip that helps in the camera performance of the phone. The last chip was the Surge C1, which was seen in the MIX Fold. Having a successor chip in the MIX 5 Pro will be a good upgrade for the MIX lineup.
Speaking of upgrades, the MIX 5 Pro is expected to bring the same 48MP front-facing camera as the vanilla MIX 5. It is rumored to have a 50MP OIS main lens with a whopping 8192 x 6144 pixels resolution. It will be assisted by a 48MP ultra-wide sensor and a 48MP OIS telephoto lens with a 5x optical zoom feature. This is a slightly better camera setup than the vanilla MIX 5 with the OIS and up to 5x zoom support.

Fairphone has carved a niche for itself as a phone maker that manufactures highly repairable, durable, and sustainable phones. The Fairphone brand is not in some of the major markets including the United States, but that does not take much away from the hugely repairable phone. The Fairphone 2 has been with us since 2015 when it was launched with Android 5. Fairphone is now announcing the availability of Android 10 upgrade for the smartphone, seven years down the line.
It has always been a tough nut for manufacturers to sustain OS upgrades for their devices beyond two or three updates. Some of the important considerations that guarantee an OS update lie outside the control of the phone manufacturer. It may be connected with the chipmaker stopping further support for the outdated chip in the phone or Google no longer supports the OS version. Samsung has, in recent times, been able to sustain up to four updates for its devices, while most models have only two OS updates within the life of the phone. Apple however provides up to six years of software support for its iPhones.
The Fairphone 2 is powered by the Snapdragon 801 chipset whose support from Qualcomm has ceased since 2016. Going forward, Fairphone projects between 2 and 5 OS updates for its phones. The longevity of the Fairphone 2 is expected not to go beyond software support for Android 10. However, security patches will continue to be provided until the plug is pulled on Android 10 by Google. So, we could see the seven-year-old Fairphone 2 for several more years ahead. The Fairphone 2’s record of seven years and counting could be hard to beat.

Foxconn, the contract manufacturer of Apple’s iPhone models, has been forced to shut down its production facility in Shenzhen as the government has ordered lockdown because of new cases of COVID-19.
Because of this new lockdown and shutdown of the factory, there could be some delay in shipments of some Apple devices for which Foxconn is responsible for production, which also includes some iPhone models.
The whole city of Shenzhen in China has been placed under lockdown for one week and everything is closed for the 17.5 million residents of the city, including bus and subway system of transportation.
Everything that is not considered essential has been shut down for a week, including the Foxconn factory. The company said that its Shenzhen operations would be suspended until further notice and added that it will now depend on backup plans to prevent disruptions.
Multiple Chinese provinces and cities have tightened restrictions, a move which is in line with Beijing’s zero-tolerance goal of suppressing contagion as quickly as possible.
If the new COVID-19 cases keep rising in China, then the lockdown period could be increased, disrupting production and supply chains, leading to a shortage of chips and components needed to make devices. Some reports indicate that the total number of COVID cases in China this year has already topped the numbers seen throughout 2021.
