We’re less than a week away from Apple’s latest event, where the tech giant is expected to launch its latest iPhone 13 lineup, along with other devices.

However, in an unprecedented unveiling, renowned tech leaker Jon Prosser has released renders of what next year’s iPhone 14 could look like.

The renders, which were produced by Ian Zelbo, show several key features of the iPhone 14 that could become major talking points.

Firstly, the supposed 2022 version shows no notch at all, just with a single hole-punch front camera. According to MacRumors, this feature is in line with information shared by another Apple insider, Ming-Chi Kuo.

Secondly, and most prominently, the camera bump on the back of the iPhone is gone. Instead, the camera lenses, LED flash, and LiDAR Scanner are all flushed against the smartphone’s rear glass. It’s also expected that next year’s iPhone will don a titanium frame.

Smaller details such as the volume buttons will seemingly also change, with them looking more similar to the rounded ones on iPhone 4 and iPhone 5.

The phone’s speaker and microphone grilles on the iPhone 14 could now be placed with elongated mesh cutouts, instead of holes on the bottom of the device such as on the iPhone 12.

Prosser has said that while there could be small design changes to the iPhone 14 between now and it’s launch next year, he’s confident most of the device will look similar to the newly-released renders.
