It is reported that the supply of components for the mass production of the iPhone 14 smartphones will begin next month. We already know about screens with new cutouts and 48-megapixel cameras, and now there are new details about the hardware changes.

The Chinese version of the iPhone 14 will have a built-in Beidou navigation chip. In July last year, China announced the creation of a global satellite navigation and positioning system Beidou. Beidou-3’s global positioning accuracy exceeds 10 meters, speed measurement accuracy exceeds 0.2m/s, synchronization is 20 nanoseconds, and the service is available in 99% of China.

Beidou chip has become mandatory in some vehicles and mobile phones in China. This chip is reportedly more accurate than GPS and other positioning systems.

This innovation will enable iPhone users to use high-precision navigation services in real time. However, the sources said once again that Apple will increase the prices of new smartphones due to the improved configuration and the increase in prices for materials and services from suppliers. If all goes according to plan, Apple will introduce its new smartphones in September this year. Source
