Debunking the Trailer of Werewolf By Night

0
Werewolf By Night

The president of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, took the stage on Saturday during a major panel at the 2022 D23 Fan Expo in Anaheim, California to make many brand-new announcements as the MCU continues to explore the Multiverse.

During the event, Feige officially confirmed that “Werewolf By Night: A Marvel Studios Special Presentation” will be the name of the MCU’s Halloween special.

Gael Garca Bernal and Laura Donnelly joined director Michael Giacchino and producer Kevin Feige on stage to give fans new information and the first trailer for the upcoming special. Feige described the special as “fun-scary” and said it would begin streaming on Disney+ on October 7.

The official confirmation of the existence of the Werewolf by Night special for Disney+ comes after months of rumours, leaks, and news on the project. With this special movie, composer Michael Giacchino will make his directing debut in a feature film.

Despite having experience directing short films, this will be Giacchino’s first feature film that he is making with Marvel Studios. This movie is believed to feature not only the titular lycanthrope but also other horror-focused Marvel characters like Elsa Bloodstone and Man-Thing.

In the next special, Gael Garca Bernal (Old, Coco) will play the lead werewolf, a version of the character who utilizes music to control his transformations. He will be joined by Laura Donnelly, who will play Elsa Bloodstone in the Marvel Studios production.

As one of Marvel’s most well-known monster hunters, Elsa Bloodstone will surely encounter the movie’s titular werewolf.

“I’ve been having a blast. It’s an incredibly challenging process. I love it,” Giacchino said in an interview with The Cosmic Circus. He further said, “Everyday, I’ve been having fun working on it and we’re int he middle of it.

Hopefully, very soon we’ll share a lot more about it. Yeah. There’s not much I can’t say other than I’m having a good time and I am working on something that I love. So, that’s a win-win right there.”

Werewolf By Night

In the special’s brief (1 minute, 26 seconds) trailer, Marvel Studios has attempted to produce the old-school grindhouse horror film. The entire trailer is in black and white graphics, giving it a vintage look reminiscent of the ’50s and ’60s horror films.

It appears that the special will focus on a secret society that specialises in hunting supernatural creatures. As Verusa, their leader, Harriet Sansom Harris co-stars and gives a performance that manages to be both campy and scary simultaneously.

A mystery lady who gets a bit too close to Bernal’s werewolf is played by Laura Donnelly, HBO’s The Nevers star. We never get a good look at Jack in his changed state in the teaser.

There are, however, a few more interesting oddities that you’ll miss with a blink. This includes the cameo from a character who remarkably resembles Man-Thing at the 1:05 mark.

The Time Variance Authority Minutemen, who made their debut in Loki on Disney+ last year, appear in the trailer too. They haven’t been mentioned before, but now, they seem to be deeply involved in a conflict with other deadly creatures.

In the movie’s first official poster, Gael Garca Bernal portrays Jack Russell and his werewolf alter ego. The poster was released by Marvel along with the new trailer of Werewolf by Night.

There have been two different Marvel characters who are known by the name “Werewolf by Night.” The first one was Jack Russell, a shapeshifting half-human creature descended from the Lycanthropes who could change at will even without a full moon. This character was created by Gerry Conway, Mike Ploog, Roy Thomas, and Jeanie Thomas.

Jake Gomez, a Native American whose tribe had been cursed with lycanthropy, was the second person. Taboo, Scot Eaton, and Benjamin Jackendoff developed the Gomez character. Jack Russell will officially act as the main character of the Disney+ programme.

There are currently few details regarding what Jack Russell and the cast of this special will be doing or how it will fit into the bigger MCU. However, one thing is confirmed, Marvel has something unique in store.

This is clearly visible with the practical effects from the footage shining in this trailer and the classic horror vibes which are fully displayed.

The Werewolf by Night special will set a new theme for The Marvel Cinematic. Originally consisting of feature films, the MCU has expanded to now include live-action serialized TV series and animated programs.

However, with the streaming of Werewolf by Night, the MCU will officially enter the Halloween special content, such as characters like Charlie Brown and Garfield.

The best part of it all is that this special will air on Disney+ in less than a month, right before She-Hulk: Attorney at Law wraps off its run. Werewolf by Night seems to have a bright future in the supernatural side of the MCU’s adventures because the MCU is actually diversifying into a different storytelling format than it has ever before.

Should you consider buying the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro?

0
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro

Apple unveiled its new iPhone 14 series on September 7 during a flagship event. During the event, the company revealed the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The biggest updates since the iPhone 12 series, which was launched in 2020, are found in the iPhone 14 series. The new iPhones offer several significant improvements in their performance, camera systems, and design.

The best part is that the new larger iPhone is available for less than $1,000. In addition, Apple introduced Dynamic Island and always-on displays in the iPhone 14 Pros, giving users new ways to use their smartphones.

No doubt, when it comes to the iPhone 14, it doesn’t differ significantly from the iPhone 13. Thus, the older model is a better buy. The iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max, on the other hand, are the most compelling choices, and we’ve outlined the top ten reasons why you should take them into account.

Longer battery life

With the iPhone 14 Pro, you can watch videos for up to 23 hours, stream videos for up to 20 hours, and listen to music for up to 75 hours. The maximum playback times for video, streaming video, and audio on the iPhone 14 Pro Max are 29 hours, 25 hours, and 95 hours, respectively.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro

The iPhone 14 Pro models provide about an hour extra of battery life for video playback when compared to earlier iPhone models.

Both devices support fast charging and can be charged 50% in 30 minutes using a power adapter of 20W or higher.

Always-on-display

The new 1Hz refresh rate option makes an Always-On display feature possible, making the iPhone the first device to support it. Always-on display technology has been available on the Apple Watch for a while, but this is the first time Apple has successfully implemented it on an iPhone without significantly reducing battery life.

This is because, to preserve battery life, the screen completely dims when the iPhone is placed face-down or in a pocket.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro

The time and widgets remain active on the Lock Screen with the Always-On display, and the wallpaper is darkened to give it a subtle appearance. Additionally, the status bar, flashlight, and camera buttons are hidden when the display is not in use.

Display Island

By incorporating Dynamic Island into the user interface, Apple gave it more significance than just a cutout. It transforms and adapts to fit what is displayed on the iPhone’s screen and serves as a sort of information hub that is front and centre.

Apple uses Dynamic Island to show quick access to information about the apps and services you are using on your iPhone, blending it into the display. It can show the status of the AirPods connection, Apple Music, timers, Maps directions, and more.

The iOS 16 integration allows you to track sports results, Uber rides, and more directly from the top of the iPhone’s display without leaving the current app.

If you want to see what’s on your display, you can collapse it down. Additionally, if you tap it, though, it will open up so that you can interact with the content.

There is a feature that enables it to split out into two distinct cutouts that display different information, and third-party apps can also add Dynamic Island support.

The iPhone 14 Pro’s screen borders have also been thinned out for a sleeker appearance in terms of overall design.

A-16 Bionic Chip

Apple’s brand-new A16 Bionic processor, which powers the iPhone 14 Pro models, not only offers the best performance from an iPhone to date but also enhances the quality of the photos and videos.

It is the first chip produced using a new 4-nanometer process, and Apple created the A16 Bionic chip specifically for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

The A15 chip in the iPhone 13 Pro is replaced by this chip, which has two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro

The A16 achieved single-core scores of 1887 and multi-core scores of 5455, while the A15 achieved single-core scores of 1707 and multi-core scores of 4659. That represents an improvement of 10.5, and 17.1, respectively.

An accelerated 5-core GPU with 50% more memory bandwidth is part of the A16 Bionic.

ProMotion

Like the iPhone 13 Pro models, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max include upgraded low-power display backlighting that enables ProMotion refresh rates.

The adaptive refresh rates available on this year’s iPhones are 1Hz to 120Hz, compared to last year’s models that had refresh rate of 10Hz to 120Hz range.

The refresh rate of the display varies depending on what is displayed on the screen. The iPhone will therefore use a lower refresh rate when viewing a static website.

However, while playing games, watching movies, or scrolling through information, the phone will use a higher refresh rate of 120Hz. This provides a smoother and more responsive experience.

Big Screen Option

Before the introduction of the Pro models, Apple offered a “Plus” option, which was last seen in the iPhone 8. Apple has now brought it back in the iPhone 14, giving people a large-screen iPhone that doesn’t cost over $1,000.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro

The iPhone 14 Plus has a 6.7-inch screen — the same size as the iPhone 14 Pro Max — but costs $200 less, at $899. Arguably, it’s something Apple should have done years ago, as it limited the big iPhone experience to those who could afford the Pro Max iPhone models.

Other than a bigger display and longer battery life, the iPhone 14 Plus shares the same internal specs as the iPhone 14.

Crash detection

This new hardware enables a crash detection function on the iPhone by combining a barometer that can detect changes in cabin pressure brought on by deployed airbags with a high dynamic range gyroscope and a dual-core accelerometer that can record G-forces up to 256Gs.

When the automobile’s occupants are critically injured or unable to reach their iPhone, the iPhone 14 models can detect a major car crash and automatically phone emergency services.

More than a million hours of actual driving and crash record data were used by Apple to accurately train motion detection algorithms.

crash detection

The iPhone’s GPS can identify changes in speed, and its microphone can identify loud noises that are typically connected with serious auto accidents.

When a collision happens, emergency services are contacted by a combination of the iPhone and Apple Watch thanks to Crash Detection, which is also available on the Apple Watch.

5G connectivity

A Qualcomm Snapdragon X65 modem that allows 5G connectivity is included in the iPhone 14 Pro variants. While only sub-6GHz is available in other countries, iPhone users in the US can connect to both mmWave and sub-6GHz networks.

The fastest 5G networks are those that employ mmWave technology; however, mmWave is short-range and can be blocked by objects like trees and buildings, therefore its usage is only permitted in densely populated regions like big cities and urban centers, as well as at events like concerts and airports where large crowds gather.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro

In urban, suburban, and rural locations across the United States and other nations, sub-6GHz 5G is more prevalent and accessible. Sub-6GHz 5G is often faster than LTE, especially when mid-band spectrum is used, but it isn’t always the blazing fast 5G that you expect when you use a 5G network.

More than 20 5G bands are supported by the iPhone 14 Pro versions sold in the US.

When 5G is not available, the iPhone 14 models continue to offer Gigabit LTE with 4×4 MIMO for connecting to LTE networks.

Emergency SOS via satellite

When cellular and WiFi connectivity are unavailable in an emergency, the iPhone 14 models can now connect to satellites. With the new Emergency SOS via satellite feature, Apple has made it possible for the iPhone’s antennae to connect with Globalstar satellites.

The feature is intended to be utilised in broad areas with minimal trees so the iPhone can connect to a satellite that is in the sky and is available in emergency scenarios where you cannot connect to WiFi or a cellular tower.

Apple has created a compressed messaging protocol because transferring data via satellite can take minutes, and the business has a walkthrough interface that explains how to hold the iPhone to connect to a satellite. A brief communication to emergency responders can be sent in as little as 15 seconds in an area devoid of trees.

Camera Upgrades

low light photos

The largest modifications is done the iPhone 14 Pro cameras. The main camera is now 48 megapixels, a significant improvement from the iPhone 13 Pro’s 12 megapixels.

As a result of the increase in resolution, you can now zoom in or out of an image without reducing the quality of the image. It also permits a new 2x zoom. Moreover, Apple claims that the sensor has been improved to collect more light and produce even higher-quality images.

Action Mode, a new video stabilization function from Apple, helps to lessen jarring motion while shooting video when running.

While some may find it hilarious that a device exists that will make gas leaks visible, there are reliable sources in the company that confirm the theory. Not only gas leaks, users can also see Wi-Fi Signals due to the Mixed Reality Headsets having additional signals for enabling this particular feature.

Even sound waves can be seen via this headset that will make the musicians’ job much easier along with heat patterns that will immediately inform the wearer of a fire in the vicinity and also there is the augmented reality through which you can see inside the cupboards as well.

Musicians can now tune in their instruments in an easy way due to the sine wave being able to create an overlay for the correct note. Apart from these, this device will have many other features that can only be revealed by Apple, which may happen in due course.

When it comes to topnotch brands, there are many candidates that will top the list but Apple and Samsung are always head and shoulders above others and there is a reason why that is so and why people are so taken in by the devices these two companies launch.

However, when it comes to other devices, they too are launched by reputed companies that deserve to be at the top but, sadly, don’t get mentioned as much. Whenever a new device comes out, it is met with high anticipation and expectations.

iPhone AOD

Apple hosted a ‘Far Out’ event on September 7, 2022, when it launched the iPhone 14 series along with smartwatches and laptops that met with good reviews although the smartphones were criticized for treading on familial territory of having the same design as iPhone 13.

Brief Up

iPhone 14 Pro is one of the smartphone models that was launched at the aforementioned event and the reason it has garnered the maximum attention is because its Always-On Display (AOD) works with numerous applications where you have a dimly lit lock screen, which is interesting as Android devices have a black coloured background.

It has been reported that the iPhone 14 Pro works excellently with the voice memo and Maps application along with the Apple TV Remote Feature found in the control centre, which offers perfect functioning even when the device is locked.

iPhone 14

There have been many positive reviews on the iPhone 14 Pro in the form of many blogs, articles, and YouTube videos where many tech experts have reviewed the device after analyzing it from top to bottom.

Many of them have highlighted the native applications that work that work due to the new always on display on the smartphone models due to which users can access maps and voice memo apps.

If a user decides to lock iPhone 14 Pro while using Maps app, then the AOD parts will continue to show the navigation albeit in a dimmed version while the distance left will be shown at the top left of the screen.

It is an interesting feature that all users are liking, which is why iPhone 14 Pro is more popular than the other three models- iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and iPhone 14, where makers are hoping to add on more features so that it becomes more popular.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or the Apple iPhone 14

Now that Apple has also launched its much anticipated iPhone 14 and Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra is already in the market, you might get confused about which phone to buy. Since, both are premium phones and perfectly suits the price you pay for them.

They both have powerful batteries, great cameras, and a long battery life. Alternatively, you can call them the most attractive phones that have existed on the planet till now!

This might leave you confused as to which phone to buy. Should you purchase the Apple-supported iPhone 14 Pro Max or opt for the Galaxy S22 Ultra due to its added features like a built-in S Pen and amazing 10X zoom camera? But don’t worry! In this article, we will try to help you resolve your dilemma.

We will do a comparison of the specifications and features of both the phones and then you can choose what fits you.

Design and display

In terms of design, both of these are top-notch in every way; they are both well-built but also distinctive.

Galaxy S22 Ultra

The Galaxy S22 Ultra has a sturdy and robust design thanks to its armoured aluminium construction. Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ shields the front and back of the phone. The smartphone’s sleek design is another bonus feature.

The individual lens housing at the back also improves the design. Three colour choices are available: Phantom Black, Phantom White, and Burgundy.

A 6.8-inch WQHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2x display with an adaptive refresh rate of 1Hz to 120Hz is included with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The panel supports HDR10+ and has a peak brightness of 1700 nits.

Vibrant colours, deep blacks, and high contrast levels are all combined to create a satisfying viewing experience. The phone also includes new Vision Booster technology to improve viewing in any environment.Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or the Apple iPhone 14

iPhone 14 Pro Max

Its front and back are protected by ceramic shields, and its design is made of stainless steel. Dynamic Island, which is shaped like a pill, has taken the place of the notch. Although the iPhone design has been updated, the Face ID cutout is still bigger than those on the best Android phones.

The new iPhone 14 Pro models are instantly recognisable from the front thanks to the Dynamic Island and always-on display features, which is crucial for people who prefer their new smartphone to look trendy in comparison to last year’s model.

A maximum “peak” brightness of 2,000 nits can now be reached by the iPhone 14 Pro Max, making it brighter than before. It has a display size of 6.7 inches with LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED, 120Hz, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and a resolution of 1290×2796 pixels. It is available in four colours: deep purple, space black, gold, and white.

Performance and software

The Galaxy S22 Ultra is based on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max has introduced the brand-new Apple A16 Bionic chip.

Also Read: From Apple To Samsung

The Galaxy cannot quite match the performance of the Apple silicon, even when compared to the 2021 iPhone 13 Pro Max, and now with A16, we expect further improvements.

One thing to note is that the A16 is produced using a 4nm process, and its parts are made to accelerate AI and other tasks across iOS process nodes and mobile apps, resulting in more power and efficiency.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max will continue to have 6GB of RAM (LPDDR5), compared to the Galaxy’s 8GB in the base model and 12GB in the higher model.

Both phones have 128GB of storage as a base capacity, with upgrades to 256GB, 512GB, and even 1TB available for the most discerning users. Remember that neither phone has a microSD card slot, so they do not support expandable storage.

Camera

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or the Apple iPhone 14

Compared to any of its previous models, the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s main camera has a higher resolution sensor. In iPhone 14 Pro, Apple has replaced the previously used 12MP sensor with a new 48MP sensor for the primary camera.

On the other hand, Samsung has been using the main camera with an even higher resolution of a 108-megapixel sensor for a while now.

The 10X periscope zoom lens on the Galaxy helps you achieve incredible quality at long zoom distances, and with digital zoom, you can go as high as 100X. This is one area where Apple has not been able to come close to matching.

In contrast, Apple’s camera app may be more optimised, and it offers some features—like the Photonic engine—that the Galaxy simply cannot match.

Battery life and charging

With a massive 5,000mAh battery inside, the Galaxy S22 Ultra should easily stand out among its iPhone competitors, who can only manage 4,400mAh.

On the charging side, the Galaxy supports up to 45W speeds, while the iPhone goes as fast as 27W. And there is a significant difference between how quickly these two charge—the iPhone charges in almost twice as much time as the Galaxy does.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or the Apple iPhone 14

A 20W adapter or higher can charge an iPhone to 50% in about 30 minutes. The other charging options on the iPhone 14 Pro involve MagSafe wireless charging up to 15W and Qi wireless charging up to 7.5W.

Surprisingly, the Galaxy is the only device that lets you use reverse wireless charging to transfer a charge to a different device. When the feature is enabled, objects like a smartwatch or compatible wireless earbuds will top up miraculously when placed on top of the phone, a trick that the iPhone is unable to perform.

Other specifications

Samsung provides an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor as a part of its security features, while the iPhone provides a facial recognition technique for security.

Samsung is quite heavy and large as compared to Apple. The Galaxy S22 Ultra has a dimension of 163.3 x 77.9 x 8.9mm and weighs 229g. On the other hand iPhone 14 Pro has a dimension of 147.5 x 71.5 x 7.85mm with a weight of 206g.

Summary

You can’t go wrong with either because these phones are the best that their respective manufacturers have to offer. Simply choose the ecosystem you want to be a part of. However, it’s difficult to convince people to switch from one to the other.

The iPhone 14 Pro and the Galaxy S22 Ultra, both have a lot to offer. The displays, battery life, and cameras of these smartphones are stunning. With four years of software updates and five years of security updates, Samsung has improved its software support. But even so, it falls short of Apple’s software commitment.

This year, iOS 16 will also be released. The size option is the one significant point I’ll give Apple. You can choose between the larger iPhone 14 Pro and the smaller iPhone 14 Pro without giving up any features. When it comes to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung does not give you a choice.

If you choose the smaller S22 and S22 Plus instead of the Ultra, you will lose out on the camera, display resolution, RAM, and storage. The Galaxy S line has benefited from the addition of the S Pen. However, if the Note series hasn’t in the past persuaded an iPhone user to switch, it won’t be a major selling point now.

Is iPhone 14’s new feature actually new?

iPhone 14 new feature

The highly anticipated iPhone 14 series, a new Watch Series 8, Watch Ultra, and the newest iteration of AirPods Pro were all unveiled at Apple’s September event held at the Steve Jobs Theater located in the Apple Park headquarters in Cupertino, California. CEO Tim Cook opened the keynote address.

Apple announced the four iPhone 14 models on September 7, which have all been available for pre-order since September 9. Except for the iPhone 14 Plus, which won’t be available until October 7, all of the devices are scheduled to be available for sale starting September 16.

The A15 Bionic chipset is still used in the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, but Apple has upgraded the camera and added security features like crash detection. The US versions of the iPhone 14 series won’t have a SIM tray.

The new iPhone models will be supported by iOS 16. Apple also boasts that the new models will provide satellite connectivity for its emergency SOS service. However, for the time being, this is only available for users in the United States and Canada.

At the launch event, Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, appreciated the new features added to iPhone 14.

“Groundbreaking safety capabilities bring users even more security, offering help when they need it most. And with the incredibly powerful and efficient A16 Bionic chip and all-day battery life, this is the best iPhone yet,” Joswiak said.

Even though Apple is bragging about the amazing features they have included in their new product, we noticed that some of these features are either completely or, in some ways, similar to features provided by some or the other Android.

Here is a list of features that will remind you of Android smartphones, as they have long had them, but that Apple is now beginning to offer.

Pixel Binning: Feature already used by Samsung Galaxy S21 and OnePlus 9

iPhone 14 new feature

The first iPhone to feature a 48-megapixel camera is the iPhone 14 Pro. The number of pixels is four times higher than it was for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 Pro models, which were launched last year.

But because there are so many pixels on a small smartphone camera sensor, it is challenging for each pixel to receive enough light to produce a good image.

To combat this issue, phones like the Samsung Galaxy S21, OnePlus 9, Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, and some other budget Android phones combine groups of pixels to act as a single large pixel. Sensors can process incoming light while maintaining a high-resolution thanks to this workaround, known as pixel binning.

Video stabilization: Another feature copied from Android

iPhone 14 new feature

In smartphones, shaky video has long been a problem during videography. Even though phone manufacturers have improved over time, they still haven’t reached the GoPro-style action cam level.

With the help of Active Stability and Super Steady modes, people can now take smooth, GoPro-like video while moving, thanks to improvements in stabilisation techniques and post-processing on phones like the 2020 Google Pixel 5 and Samsung Galaxy S20.

Even at the launch, Apple’s product manager Vitor Silva emphasised that the company was bringing a “brand new class of camera to iPhone” rather than saying that it invented the method.

All iPhone 14 models will be available with Apple’s new Action Mode, which should produce interesting shots when filming during running. However, Apple is a bit behind the curve here.

Always-on display: A feature that reminds of Lumia Windows Phones

For years, Android has included some form of always-on display technology. It first appeared in 2013 on the now-defunct Lumia Windows smartphones. Even before Samsung, LG introduced the feature in its smartwatches.

With always-on, important details like the time or upcoming events on the calendar are always visible without the need to tap or touch the device.

Greg “Joz” Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of marketing, was also careful to mention that the feature is not new to the iPhone. However, he said that while using less power, the Super Retina XDR display on the iPhone 14 Pro can operate at a slower 1Hz refresh rate thanks to LTPO technology.

That distinction belongs to the earlier-released Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, which had the same display technology.

Pill-shaped selfie camera cutout

iPhone 14 new feature

In 2017, when Apple debuted the notch with the iPhone X, Samsung quickly made fun of the peculiar design choice. Android developers looked for ways to quickly limit the size of their selfie-camera notches by cutting much smaller holes in the display or choosing to use hole-punch cutouts instead.

The OnePlus 7 Pro even went so far as to include a feature that enabled the selfie camera to pop-out of the frame, leaving the screen completely free. With an under-display selfie camera, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4’s inner display is almost completely unobstructed.

In either case, Apple has been resisting the notch for years. Additionally, the new pill-shaped cutout is clearly wider. Dynamic Island, a software feature that better integrates the cutout into the phone’s user interface with distinctive animations, has been added, making the black trough acceptable.

Apple’s upcoming iOS16

iPhone 14 new feature

On September 12th, Apple announced that its newest operating system, iOS 16, would be available. At its Worldwide Developers Conference 2022, Apple first revealed the free upgrade of iOS, and in July, it made a beta version available for the public.

Therefore, various features included in the update won’t surprise you. Some of the updated features include some changes to the lock screen, such as a new notification presentation method, ability to add widgets and customise the look of the screen.

With some restrictions, you can edit and recall sent messages, share photos with your family using the new iCloud Shared Photo Library, and use the Live Text feature to extract text from both photos and videos. New features have also been added to Live Text.

The launch of the new operating system coincides perfectly with the release of Apple’s newest iPhones, the 14 Pro and Pro Max.

Some other features that iOS 16 will have but are already available on Android are:

Multiple stops on the maps

With iOS 16, you can easily get directions and add a new location’s address to your itinerary. You can make a stop there and then navigate your way back to the previous destination. Android has had this feature since 2017.

However, Apple Maps has undoubtedly advanced since its disastrous debut ten years ago.

You can unsend your emails now

With iOS 16, you now have 10 seconds to change your mind and cancel the send if you accidentally put the wrong person’s name in an email. However, this only applies if the recipient is also running iOS 16.

You can also use Remind Later to remind yourself of an email you don’t want to deal immediately or schedule an email to be sent whenever you like. Gmail, however, have had these features since around 2018.

iOS16’s Live captions

iPhone 14 new feature

With the release of iOS 16, live captions for videos, audio, and conversations are now available. Anyone who needs to follow a conversation will find this feature to be very helpful.

However, Android’s Live Caption feature has been available since 2019 and currently offers instant translations for those captions in many languages (although the accuracy of those translations will probably fall short of those of a human translator).

Phone fitness app

A popular device for tracking your fitness is the Apple Watch, but if you used an iPhone and didn’t have a watch, you couldn’t use the official Apple Fitness Plus app (although you could, of course, use any of the third-party apps available).

The Apple Fitness Plus app is now available whether or not you are wearing an Apple Watch.

Whether you wear a watch or not, Android phones have pretty much always had access to Google’s official Fit fitness app.

Car crash detection

car crash detection

The new iPhone 14 phones and the upcoming Apple Watch Series 8 both have car crash detection capabilities. However, car crash detection is also available on Pixel phones; Google added it to the Personal Safety app back in 2019.

iPhone’s Dynamic Island

Dynamic Island is Apple’s resolution for faster multitasking on the iPhone. Apple uses Dynamic Island, which expands and contracts to display contextual information, in contrast to Android phone manufacturers like Samsung, who support the ability to open multiple apps simultaneously on the screen. Depending on the app, it may expand to display alerts and change shape.

According to Apple, Dynamic Island’s objective is to display information clearly while minimising interruptions to the app you’re using. “With this change, we reconsidered how you interact with your iPhone,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing.

Not all of the features Apple unveiled for the iPhone 14 were taken directly from earlier Android designs. If Google doesn’t dethrone it with the Pixel 7 later this year, the A16 Bionic chip on the iPhone 14 Pro will probably continue to rule the smartphone industry.

With a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, the Super Retina XDR display of the iPhone 14 outshines the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which only manages 1,750 nits. In case users ever find themselves in a dangerous situation in a remote area of the US or Canada, iPhone 14 users will have access to the Emergency SOS satellite service feature, which is usually only found on bulky satellite phones.

Additionally, selfies will have a more natural bokeh effect thanks to the TrueDepth front-facing camera.

Purchasers of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus will receive three free subscriptions to Apple Arcade.

The iPhone will be available in three colours, most likely blue, starlight, purple, and red, in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage capacities. The price ranges from Rs 79,900 to Rs 89,900 for the iPhone 14 Plus. The starting price of the iPhone 14 Pro is Rs 1,29,900, while the price of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is Rs 1,39,900.

The iPhone prices are quite high in India compared to the United States. According to reports, Apple intends to produce the iPhone 14 series in India, but for the first six months, all models sold there will probably be imported.

According to reports, the company has stopped producing four models from previous generations after launching the latest iPhone series. The iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, and iPhone 13 Pro Max are among the models that have reportedly been stopped.

Although production of these four outdated iPhones has ceased, they are still available in India on online marketplaces and in physical stores as long as supplies last.
