iPhone 14 Specifications
iPhone 14 sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with a wide colour gamut, 60Hz refresh rate, HDR, 1200nits brightness, a True Tone regular notch on the top to house the front camera, and a Face ID sensor.
Connectivity 5G, Wi-Fi, dual SIM, Bluetooth, GPS, and a Lightning port for charging.
The iPhone 14 is powered by 2021’s A15 Bionic chipset paired with a 5-core GPU for graphics and a 16-core NPU. The new iPhone packs 4GB RAM and 128GB/256GB/512GB storage options.
As for the cameras, iPhone 14 features dual cameras on the back, comprising a 12MP wide-angle primary sensor with a larger f/1.5 aperture, sensor-shift OIS, and a 12MP secondary ultra-wide-angle lens. There is a 12MP snapper on the front with autofocus.
Apple Introduces iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 Plus With Satellite Connectivity
Instead of a standard and mini model, Apple has replaced the smallest smartphone with a much larger alternative. The iPhone 14 Plus, a revival of the suffix and a smartphone with a 6.7-inch display, joins the 6.1-inch iPhone 14.
The Super Retina XDR display is OLED, with a wide colour gamut, a 2 million:1 contrast ratio, and a peak HDR brightness of 1,200 nits. HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision are all supported.
According to rumours, Apple is reusing the A15 in the iPhone 14 rather than developing a new chip, albeit with “Pro-level” enhancements. This is a notable shift for Apple, which typically upgrades the chip with each iPhone generation.
A five-core GPU, a six-core GPU with two performance cores and four efficiency cores, a 16-core Neural Engine, and an Image Signal Processor are all part of the chip.
The primary camera is a 12-megapixel shooter with a larger sensor, an f/1.5 aperture, 1.9-micron pixels, and Sensor-Shift OIS. According to Apple, this results in a 49% improvement in low-light photography over the previous generation.
The Ultra Wide camera has 12 megapixels, an aperture of f/2.4, and a 120-degree field of view. The TrueDepth Camera on the front has been updated, and the 12-megapixel shooter now has an f/1.9 aperture.
TrueDepth also has autofocus for the first time. Apple’s computational photography has been updated by moving Deep Fusion processing earlier in the shooting process. This is now known as the “Photonic Engine,” and it appears to improve low-light performance and colour rendering.
Action Mode, a stabilisation system that uses the entire camera sensor for a less shaky shot, also improves video. You can still watch 4K 60FPS video with HDR Dolby Vision, Cinematic Mode at 30fps, and Action Mode at up to 2.8K at 60fps.
An unexpected change involves SIM, as Apple embraces eSIM even more. The iPhone 14 will be sold without a SIM tray in the United States, prompting the use of eSIMs. However, SIM trays will continue to be included outside of the United States.
To maintain connectivity between people, Apple has introduced Emergency SOS via Satellite. If any of the users are in a low-signal area, they can send an emergency text message using satellites.
The system can send text messages in less than 15 seconds by using a compression system to reduce the size of text messages by one-third. Apple has created a transmission centre that will route messages to emergency responders who only handle phone calls.
The satellite feature, which will be available in the United States and Canada in November, will be free for two years after purchasing an iPhone 14.
Another emergency feature is Crash Detection, which detects when a serious collision has occurred. If the iPhone 14 is unable to communicate with the owner and does not receive a response, it can automatically dial 911.
The iPhone 14’s battery life has been improved, with up to 20 hours of media streaming for the standard version and up to 26 hours for the Plus. MagSafe charging is also making a comeback.
