That the iPhone 14 Pro is going to change its particular notch for a hole-in-the-screen format is already something we take for granted. All the leakers have been pointing it out for months, and seeing as in other years part of the design had already leaked months before, it all seems to be heading there. But now we add another indication and that is that Apple itself could have disclosed the design via what appears to be a future Apple Pay video.
Nice video of Apple Pay with an iPhone that doesn’t exist (yet)
It seems that Apple carelessly released a promotional video for Apple Pay in Thailand. This video is not available on its official channels. In fact, some Reddit threads that echoed the question were even deleted. However, analysts like Francois Besora They were quick in this discovery and on the YouTube channel “Apple Archive” we can find the video.
Apparently, there would be nothing to emphasize in the video. It seems to be a simple commercial spot with which the company once again flaunts its payment system. The strike comes from the iPhone model shown to illustrate it, which does not officially exist, but “coincidentally” coincides with all the renders that have happened these months talking about the iPhone 14.
If you’re not very familiar with the rumors about this device, remember that for months it’s been rumored that the ‘Pro’ models will leave behind the notch where the True camera and sensors are currently housed. Depth that make Face ID possible All this in favor of coupling these elements into hole format + microphone inside the screen. A format that is precisely the one presented in this video.
Intentional leak, blunder or resounding fake?
At Apple, it is not their policy to talk about their future products and do not go out to deny or confirm rumors. And in this case, unless surprised, it does not seem that they will change their minds. Right now they did not speak about this official video ham.
From now on, speculations are free and three hypotheses are possible. The first is that it is indeed a video which, whether official or not, has leak from the company itself. Whether it’s to test opinions or for some other reason, it wouldn’t be unreasonable. Rumor has it that this is generally something common in companies of this caliber, although this has never been proven with sufficient certainty.
Another option on the table is that, indeed, it is a video created by Apple and that a third party has managed to access it to publish it. Or it may even have been them in oblivion. If so, it would be a undue error of a company that always holds its forms so well in this regard.
The third hypothesis is that it is a video manipulated by someone completely outside of Apple. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen videos created by very creative minds able to capture the essence of Apple’s advertising to show us a product or service concept on video. In this case, they would have done it with the intention of pretending that it was something official without really being so.
Anyway, these assumptions are just that, assumptions. Only time will tell if this video really comes from Apple. Unless because of this disaster the company decides to completely change this production. Already compared to the iPhone 14 Pro, we will have to wait Septemberwhich aims to be the month in which the Tim Cook-led firm officially launches its smartphone again.
