Everything About iPhone 14 – Design, Tech Specs, and The Camera
1. Design-
Talking about the design, it will be preferable for you to think of it as two models that each come in two different sizes. The iPhone mini has been discontinued, and as Apple would like to say, have big or bigger. The iPhone 14, or as many may call it the entry-level iPhone has a 6.1 screen size. And with the new addition in the family of iPhone 14 Plus, this model has a display of 6.7in.
Between the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus, not a lot of things have changed talking in the terms of design. Both the phones also look strikingly similar to the iPhone 13 and come in five colours: Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple and Red.
The iPhone 14 Pro has dropped it’s most spoken about selfie-camera notch and have instead replaced it with a pill-shaped cut-out called as the Dynamic Island. Dynamic Island will expand to show alerts and any other background activity.
The entry-level iPhone 14 and a slightly larger iPhone 14 Plus comes with Apple’s Super Retina XDR OLED display and have a peak HDR brightness of 1200 nits. It has a ceramic shield on the front glass giving it improved durability.
Speaking about the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the brightness can go up to about 1600 nits and has a peak brightness of 2000 nits for outdoor use. Apple has always boasted of the always-on display, which shows notifications and any other information even when the phone is locked. The new LTPO panel enables the refresh rate to scale down to 1Hz from 120Hz making it easier to save battery life even when the always-on display is enabled.
2. Tech Specs-
The new iPhone 14 has an A15 Bionic chip from the iPhone 13 Pro, which means 18% faster performance than iPhone 13. It has also improved the thermal performance, which means you can push the iPhone 14 for longer, making it an advantage for those who want to use the phone for gaming.
Other than this the main improvements are in the camera and the battery life. Apple claims that the phones have up to 20 hours of video playback on the iPhone 14 and up to 26 hours on the iPhone 14 Plus. This is known to be the best battery life for an iPhone yet.
The other new features are that of the much-rumored satellite connectivity. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus comes with an Emergency SOS with satellite and let you call for emergency help even when you don’t have a mobile signal. The phone comes with two years of free service.
Crash detection is the new addition in the phone, where it detects when you have been in a car crash and will automatically contact your emergency services.
The iPhone 14 does not come with a SIM tray, making it an eSIM-only phone.
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max have an A16 Bionic chip and are built on a 4-nanometer process with a 6-core CPU. The GPU is 5-core more with about 50% more bandwidth and a display engine for Dynamic Island. The tech company claims that its Neural Engine can deal with about 17 trillion operations per second to computational photography.
3. The Camera-
The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus come with a new 12MP main camera that has a bigger sensor than their previous versions. The front camera is also 12MP and it helps to add autofocus for the first time and also has a faster lens which gives better low-light performance.
Equipped with the newest Photonic Engine technology, it has improved the low-light performance, with also a 2x improvement on the front camera and the ultra-wide and 2.5x improvement on the main camera. The video has gotten an upgrade too, as it comes with an even more advanced stabilization mode called the Action mode. This can be toggled on for to make the videos smoother even when you are moving.
Talking about the Pros, there is a notable camera upgrade there too. All three cameras (the main, telephoto, and ultrawide) give you an advantage of the improved low-light photography, with the all-new 9-LED flash. The Pros are also equipped with the new 48MP main camera which promises much more detail and 2x improved low-light performance, owing to the new Photonic Engine.
