Leaked sources indicate that the iPhone 14 generation will be Apple's most valuable upgrade product line in the past few years. These changes will come from both appearance and features.
Add Max version, "death" Mini
The iPhone generation launched in 2022 is expected to include 4 versions. However, Apple will remove the Mini version and replace it with a larger model called "iPhone 14 Max". The reason is that the sales of the Mini product line are relatively poor, not attracting the attention of users.

iPhone 14 Max is expected by many experts to help Apple increase sales in the near future. This version will have a large screen with a size of 6.7 inches, equivalent to the 14 Pro Max product line. However, the machine will be cut some features and have a lower price.
Remove notch
The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max duo is said to remove the top notch screen that has existed since the iPhone X generation. Instead, these two models will use a punch-hole screen. Specifically, the iPhone 14 Pro duo will have two perforated parts placed side by side.
The middle punch hole will have a pill-shaped design, this is where the selfie camera and infrared sensor are located. The circular hole next to it will be the location of the face recognition projector.
Meanwhile, the two standard iPhone 14 models will still use the "rabbit ears" screen like the current iPhone versions. This makes it easy for Apple to decentralize the company's Pro and standard product lines.
Strong upgrade in camera
Sources from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max duo will be equipped with a completely new camera system with 48 MP resolution. This will make the overall size of the camera cluster larger than its predecessor.
Accordingly, the camera size on the iPhone 14 Pro is expected to increase by about 5% in each dimension compared to the iPhone 13 Pro. Specifically, the width will increase from 35.01 mm to 36.73 mm, the height from 36.24 mm to 38.21 mm and the thickness from 3.60 mm to 4.17 mm.
This new camera cluster is said to only appear on iPhone Pro versions. This system promises to provide the device with many new features such as 8K video recording, AR / VR device support.
