Apple's iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max in under 6 minutes
Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 Pro at its ‘Far Out’ event on September 7, 2022. The flagship handset ditches the notch, and in its place is a cutout called the Dynamic Island, which can expand via software to include notifications and other app information. The result is a portion of the screen that looks, well, very dynamic.
The iPhone 14 Pro features Apple’s new Super Retina XDR display, which can reach up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness outside. That new screen tech also allows the Pro’s 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens to stay on all of the time, so you don’t have to tap your phone to see essential information. How is that possible? Apple has developed a new low power mode, which allows the screens to drop down to a super low 1Hz refresh rate.
As expected, there’s also a new mobile chip powering all of this magic, the A16 Bionic. It’s a 6-core CPU (2 high performance cores and four high efficiency) paired together with a 5-core GPU. Apple claims the high-performance cores use 20 percent less power than the A15’s, and, not surprisingly, they’re also faster. The A16 will be a big draw for the Pro lineup, as the standard iPhone 14 is stuck with last year’s (still very capable) A15 chip.
Apple’s Photonic Engine improves low-light performance across all of the iPhone 14 Pro’s cameras, something that it also shares with the standard model. There’s also a new telephoto camera offering 2x optical zoom (down from 3x with the iPhone 13 Pro), along with a refreshed 12MP ultrawide shooter. Even the flash has been updated, allowing for twice the brightness thanks to a 9 LED array.
You’ll also be able to tap into Apple’s Emergency SOS feature, which relies on satellites to send messages when you’re out of cellular range. It’s a nifty feature, but it will also be available on the non-Pro iPhone 14.
Overall, the iPhone 14 Pro looks like a bigger step forward than last year’s model. The Dynamic Island fundamentally reshapes the way notifications will work in iOS, and for many photographers, the larger camera sensor has been a long time coming. The iPhone 14 Pro starts at $999, while the Pro Max sells for $1,099.
We cut down Apple’s lengthy keynote presentation to highlight just the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max introduction.
