Apple iPhone 14 series, which is expected to go official in the month of September this year, had entered the initial production trials last month. Now, the iPhone 14 models have reportedly entered the EVT phase.

For those who are unaware, EVT stands for Engineering Validation Test. The development comes from Haitong International Securities’ analyst Jeff Pu and was reported by 9to5Mac.

As per the report, the lockdown in Shenzhen, China has not impacted the production timeline for the company as the Foxconn factory in that particular location accounts for only 10 percent of the global iPhone production.

Given the iPhone 14 series has entered the Engineering Validation Test, it implies that the company has locked down the final design as well the specifications for the models. The test is to ensure that the product performs and looks as intended.

If the recently leaked schematics for the iPhone 14 Pro series models are anything to go by, then the company will have minor changes in terms of design, which should not be visible to the naked eye. However, the camera bump is said to be a bit thicker as Apple is opting for a larger 48MP camera sensor instead of the regular 12MP.

The Apple iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will have a punch-hole cutout for the front-facing camera as well as the Face ID. These models will also be powered by the Apple A16 or A16 Pro Bionic chip manufactured using a 4nm process.

On the other hand, the regular iPhone 14 and 14 Max are said to keep using the notch on the top of the screen and be powered by the Apple A15 Bionic or the A16 Bionic which will just be a rebranded A15 processor.
