New gorgeous iPhone 14 renders

May 26, 2022

Some have complained the upcoming iPhone 14 looks just like the iPhone 13 -- and the iPhone 12.

There's good reason for that; Apple updates the industrial design on a three-year cycle, so any redesign isn't coming until 2023 with the iPhone 15.

Still, if the latest renders are accurate, I'll take the new iPhone just for the new "pill-and-hole" design of the front-facing camera.

I think it looks much better than the current notch, although I'm sure many will disagree with me. It's off balance for one. But I like the quirky, Morse code nature of it.

Check out the Tweet-of-the-day below to see a different treatment of the pill and hole. Which do you like better?

One more thing ...

"My favorite things in life don't cost any money. It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time. As it is, I pay a price by not having much of a personal life. I don't have the time to pursue love affairs or to tour small towns in Italy and sit in cafes and eat tomato-and-mozzarella salad. Occasionally, I spend a little money to save myself a hassle, which means time. And that's the extent of it. I bought an apartment in New York, but it's because I love that city. I'm trying to educate myself, being from a small town in California, not having grown up with the sophistication and culture of a large city. I consider it part of my education. You know, there are many people at Apple who can buy everything that they could ever possibly want and still have most of their money unspent. I hate talking about this as a problem; people are going to read this and think, Yeah, well, give me your problem. They're going to think I'm an arrogant little asshole." -- Steve Jobs.
