It’s official, Apple’s events come and go, but with Apple releasing the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, it’s sure to get hardware fans excited. Both devices now have a new pill-shaped notch that dynamically adjusts and replaces the notch as part of the first major display refresh since Apple introduced the iPhone X in 2017. Both devices also feature an always-on display and the faster A16 Bionic chip. Apple CEO Tim Cook says the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max are the most creative pros yet of the team.
The display on the iPhone 14 Pro version is the first noticeable visual change that users notice in the device. Apple is replacing this notch with a bead-shaped notch that houses the components for Face ID and a second circular hole for the front-facing camera, although it will still be available in standard 6.1 and 6.7-inch models.
iPhone 14 Pro has the ‘Dynamic Island’ feature
As for the proximity sensor behind the screen, Apple has moved it, and notifications will now appear with top-notch animations. Apple calls this system Dynamic Island. Apple is really leaning towards how they move it and use the system to get new notifications. It will set alerts and notifications, and move around the slit that looks like a pill.
The company provides a variety of animations and features for Dynamic Island, including lifelike live-action widgets and music and animation controls. Background activities like playing music will move to the island when you swipe home.
Interestingly, both the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max feature always-on displays that are compatible with iOS 16’s new lock screen widget feature. It provides reminders, calendar events, and more, and the weather without prompting your iPhone to wake up. Even the iOS 16 wallpapers have a sleep mode that dims them to improve battery life.
As mentioned earlier, the iPhone 14 Pro models feature the Apple A16 Bionic chip. With the new CPU, Apple has prioritized battery, display, and camera efficiency. The six-core CPU has four efficiency cores that use one-third of the power of competing CPUs, and two high-performance cores that require 20 per cent less power.
Flexible dynamic island animations are made possible by the new A16 chip that will also power Apple’s new camera system. For the first time, an iPhone model switches from a 12-megapixel sensor to a 48-megapixel sensor. The redesigned main camera houses a quad-pixel sensor with f/1.78 aperture and 24mm focal length for enhanced low-light photography.
To maximize light capture capability as much as possible, the sensor typically captures a 12MP combined image. This allows Apple to achieve 2x native magnification at 48mm focal length by cropping the sensor differently. The new sensor improves detail in Apple’s ProRAW format, which should result in stunning images.
Additionally, the new ultra-wide-angle camera offers a 3x boost in low-light conditions and improved telephoto photography. The flash on the iPhone 14 camera system has also been improved by Apple, making it brighter and more responsive to the focal length of photos. If you’re interested in recording video, the iPhone 14 Pro model should be your first choice, which can shoot in 4K resolution at 24 and 30 frames per second in movie mode.
Overall, when comparing the new iPhone models to last year’s iPhone 13 Pro models (which switched to a high refresh rate 120Hz ProMotion display and three new cameras), the iPhone 14 Pro has certainly raised the bar this year, offering more features. On the Android side, Samsung offers the Galaxy Flip 4 and Galaxy Fold 4, which combine the tablet and phone experience.
The iPhone 14 Pro is priced at $999, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max is $1,099. Pre-orders for both will begin on September 9, and on September 16, both will be available in stores.
