iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max schematics show larger camera bump and thicker overall design

Max Weinbach shared detailed schematics of the newly surfaced iPhone 14 Pro and ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max online, revealing that Apple's upcoming high-end iPhones may have a more prominent camera bump and a thicker overall design.

Last week, more basic schematics of the iPhone 14 Pro were shared, but Weinbach went into more detail and provided measurements for the upcoming iPhone. According to the schematic, the width of the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max is 77.58 mm, which is slightly smaller than the 78.1 mm of the iPhone 13 Pro Max. In addition, according to the schematic, the height of the ‌‌iPhone 14 Pro‌‌ Max is almost the same as that of the ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌ Max, which is 160.7 mm and 160.8 mm respectively.

In terms of thickness, the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max is 7.85 mm thick, which is slightly thicker than the current high-end iPhone, which is only 7.65 mm thick. Apple has significantly increased the size of the back camera platform in the ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌ Max compared to the iPhone 12 Pro. In 2022, Apple hopes to repeat a similar trend.

According to Apple’s guidelines for accessory manufacturers, the current camera bump on the iPhone 13 Pro MAX is only 3.60 mm high. According to the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max schematics shared by Weinbach, the camera bump on the 2022 high-end ‌iPhone‌ will be 4.17mm thick. The camera platform itself on the back of the ‌‌iPhone‌‌ will also increase in size by about 5% in each dimension, from the current width of 35.01mm to 36.73mm, and the height from 36.24mm to 38.21mm.

Weinbach also shared schematics of the smaller "iPhone 14 Pro" today. According to these schematics, the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ is almost the same width as the ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌, at 71.45mm versus 71.5mm. The height of the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ will also remain essentially the same compared to the ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌, at 147.46 mm and 147.5 mm respectively. Like the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max, the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ will also have a more prominent camera bump, measuring 4.17mm compared to the current 3.60mm.

An alleged initial render of the iPhone 14 Pro, shared by leaker Jon Prosser just days before the iPhone 13 launch, shows off a design without a camera bump, instead showing lenses , LED flash and LiDAR scanner with rear flush glass. Prosser's render also shows round volume buttons reminiscent of the iPhone 4.

Based on the schematics shared by Weinbach and 91Mobiles last week, it appears that neither of these design elements will be implemented. As always, however, Apple's plans are always subject to change, so rumors should be taken with a grain of salt.

Rumors about the iPhone 14 lineup are still in the early stages; however, Apple is rumored to be removing the notch on its high-end iPhones in 2022 in favor of a pill shape and circular cuts.

Earlier rumors claimed that the "iPhone 14 Pro" and "iPhone 14 Pro" would have a pill-shaped intrusion at the top of the display. Since then, however, rumors have become more consistent that Apple plans to have both a pill-shaped and a circular cutout at the top of the display. According to rumors, the two cutouts will not be centered on the display, but off-axis, as shown in the image below.

With the ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 14 Pro‌ Max getting pill-shaped and circular notches, rumors suggest that the two lower-end ‌iPhone 14‌ models will still have the same notch as the ‌iPhone 13‌. Current information suggests that Apple is looking to further differentiate its "Pro" iPhones from its lower-end models.

Apart from giving the top-end variants a new front display design, they may also be the only variants to get improved performance. Reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has said that only the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will get the A16 Bionic chip, while the remaining two ‌iPhone 14‌ models will retain the ‌iPhone 13‌’s A15 chip.

We're also expecting extensive camera improvements across the ‌iPhone 14‌ range, as well as the possibility of new titanium housing options, a possible vapor chamber cooling system on higher-end models, and more.
