the upcoming iPhone series in 2022 will have two 6.1-inch iPhones and two 6.7-inch iPhones, and no 5.4-inch size. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a note to investors that he saw the news on MacRumors' website. Two of the 2022 iPhone series are currently expected to be high-end models, and the other two are low-end models, similar to the iPhone 12 series.

　　Apple launched the 5.4-inch iPhone in the iPhone 12 series, which was planned to continue in 2021, but if Kuo's information is accurate, the iPhone of this size will be discontinued after that. According to a number of iPhone sales data, the sales of the iPhone 12 mini are indeed not as good as expected.

　　In addition to reducing the size options, Ming-Chi Kuo believes that Apple will upgrade the camera in the iPhone series released in 2022, adding a 48-megapixel camera to the high-end iPhone 14. Ming-Chi Kuo said the upgraded camera lens will take iPhone camera photography to "a new level."

　　"In terms of pixel size, iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and the new 2H22 iPhone are about 1.7um, 2um and 1.25um respectively. We believe that the new 2H22 iPhone may support both direct 48MP output and 12MP (four-unit combined output mode) Output. With 12MP output, the CIS pixel size of the new 2H22 iPhone will increase to about 2.5um, which is significantly larger than the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, and larger than the existing Android phones, close to the DSC level. We believe that the new 2H22 iPhone camera will Taking phone camera photography to the next level.”

　　In addition to a 48-megapixel lens, the new iPhone can also output 12-megapixel images. Guo Ming-chi expects that high-end iPhones will be able to record 8K video. He said that watching videos recorded by the iPhone on an 8K monitor or TV in the future will be a "Better User Experience".

　　Because the optimal resolution for AR and MR is 8K to 16K, Ming-Chi Kuo said that the 2022 iPhone with a 48-megapixel camera will create videos and images "more suitable for AR/MR devices" and "enhance AR/MR user experience" .

　　As for future iPhones, Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple will adopt a periscope telephoto lens in 2023, as well as an under-screen ID, and we may see the elimination of old camera lenses. Ming-Chi Kuo has previously stated that Apple will still use a front-facing camera with a camera hole on the iPhone in 2022, but in 2023, at least one Apple phone will have an off-screen touch ID and a full-screen display without a camera hole.
