The iPhone 14 is one of the most anticipated smartphones, and it is true that not a week goes by without the next series of phones leaking from Apple. It is already known what the design of the different versions will look like and other details about their performance.

And now, it has been known that Apple will make changes in terms of the sizes of the iPhone 14 with respect to the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12, as well as significantly improve the Lightning connector.

The four molds of the iPhone 14 will only have two sizes

For several years now, the Cupertino company has differentiated its iPhones into two versions: the standard model and the Pro model.

In addition, as of 2020 it has added two versions to each of these ranges, featuring a 5.4-inch 'Mini' model, a 6.1-inch standard, a 6.1-inch Pro and finally a 6.7-inch 'ProMax' model. It does not seem that this will change completely in 2022, but it will recall the famous 'Mini' from the market.

The molds refer to a rumor that circulated a few months ago in which it was said that the size design of the iPhone 14 would look like this:

- iPhone 14: 6.1 inches

- iPhone 14 Max: 6,7 pulgadas

- iPhone 14 Pro: 6.1 inches

- iPhone 14 Pro Max: 6,7 pulgadas

It should be noted that these names are not confirmed by any source and will be used as a guide. In any case, they serve perfectly to see what options Apple would offer with its new flagships.

If this is the case, there would not be too much new between being able to choose a 6.1-inch mobile phone in the standard or 'Pro' version, but it would be a change to being able to choose a large iPhone without having to decide between more expensive models.

iPhone 14 would have a much faster Lightning connector thanks to cameras

This iPhone connector has been controversial because it uses a different system than USB Type-C.

For example, users of Android phones with USB Type-C ports have connection speeds up to 10 times faster than iPhone Lightning connectors based on USB 2.0. And this is a problem when transferring large files to a computer, for example.

However, if any user is thinking of buying one of the different versions of the iPhone 14 that would hit the market next September, it is necessary to know that the connection port would be much faster than in other versions of the previous edition.

Of course, we should not believe that the company founded by Steve Jobs does it to help its customers, but because they have no other choice. In principle, the Lightning connector should support USB 3.0 speeds, but currently only iPads have this element.

But of course, Apple discovered a problem that forced it to improve the Lightning connector for its next phone line. And the reason for that is the iPhone 14 camera.

It's an open secret that one of the main features of the iPhone 14 will be its photographic section. The Cupertino-based company wants to dramatically improve the cameras of its next generation of smartphones so that users can shoot 8K movies through ProRes mode.

And that's why iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max would have a Lightning connector with USB 3.0 support. Simply because videos recorded at this resolution will have a considerable weight and with a connection like that of iPhone 13, it would take hours to transfer a video file recorded in 8K.

Whatever the reason, the fact that iPhones with the most professional versions finally integrate this element to improve transfer speeds is great news for users who are thinking of buying an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max. Now they have one more reason for this.
