Even although the iPhone 13 was simply introduced final week, that isn’t stopping famous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from releasing some very attention-grabbing predictions for future upgrades coming to the iPhone 14 and past.

According to a collection of current predictions launched by Kuo (by way of MacRumors), not solely will the iPhone 14 characteristic a brand new hole-punch entrance digital camera as an alternative of the smaller notch Apple added to the iPhone 13, Apple will even improve the iPhone 14 with a a lot greater decision 48-MP important digital camera sensor in again.

The large impression of shifting to a punch-hole selfie digital camera is that Kuo says it probably means Apple will transfer the iPhone 14’s infrared Face ID sensors beneath its display in order that they’re hidden from sight. And whereas Kuo didn’t point out every other main design adjustments, with the iPhone 13 largely being seen as an “S” mannequin and sporting virtually the identical common construct as final yr’s mannequin, it makes a variety of sense to anticipate a big design refresh for the iPhone 14 subsequent yr.

Furthermore, Kuo says its doable we might even see the return of Touch ID to the iPhone line someday in 2023, besides that as an alternative of counting on a devoted house button or a combo fingerprint sensor/lock button such as you get on new iPads, Apple will use under-screen expertise to cover the sensor beneath the telephone’s display, much like what’s obtainable on various Android telephones like Samsung’s Galaxy S21. 

Kuo’s forecast doesn’t cease there although; he additionally claims Apple remains to be on observe to launch a third-gen iPhone SE with 5G connectivity within the first half of 2022, probably someday in March or April if the sample for earlier iPhone SE releases holds true.

However, essentially the most tantalizing iPhone prediction nonetheless stays just a few years out, as Kuo just lately pushed again the timeline for when he expects Apple to launch a foldable iPhone to 2024. That stated, given how Samsung just lately broke pre-order gross sales data for its foldable telephones with the brand new Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 (to not point out rumors of a foldable Pixel coming this fall), I wouldn’t be shocked to see Apple tried to push the discharge of its first foldable telephone up a bit again into 2023.
