iPhone 14 and what makes it different from the previous models?

iPhone 14, that was presented in Cupertino on September 7, 2022, has become one of the most popular models . Another "apple" smartphone entered history as the base model of the 16th generation, addressed to connoisseurs of the classics. It was presented at the traditional autumn event, where the technology giant showed another interesting development. In general, the updated line not only pleased with a hardware upgrade, but also surprised with a modified model range without mini-versions. The most affordable device among the rest is the new iPhone 14 with a minimum of changes. It is declared as “mid-budget”, very similar to its predecessor, but interesting in its own way and distinguished by cool features that have no analogues.

How much does new iPhone 14 cost?

There are three options on offer, depending on how much internal storage space you want. The iPhone 14 is offered with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB for $799, $899, and $1,099, respectively.

What iPhone 14 are there?

Variants with different memory sizes are available in the catalog:

• iPhone 14 128 GB;
• iPhone 14 256 Gb;
• iPhone 14 512 GB.

What makes the iPhone 14 different from the previous models?

This time Cupertino offered five fantastic colors - you can buy an iPhone 14 for the most demanding taste:

• blue - lighter than in previous years;
• soft purple - closer to lilac;
• black - called by the manufacturer "Midnight";
• white - also charming "Starlight";
• red - Product RED, part of the proceeds from the sale of which is transferred to the Fund to fight AIDS and HIV, as well as to fight COVID.

All debuted variants inherited the common design familiar from the thirteenth "younger brothers". The stylish case measuring 146.7x71.5x7.4 mm and weighing 172 g retained the bangs and the usual back block, flat ends and rounded corners. The frame is made of aircraft-grade aluminum, the front panel is covered with a heavy-duty Ceramic Shield, which reduces the risk of damage by 4 times in case of a fall. It is still allowed to dive to a depth of 6 meters for a maximum of half an hour.

Display

The 6.1-inch Apple iPhone 14 features a Super Retina XDR display. It's amazingly bright, with a wide color gamut (P3) and TrueTone support to match the picture to your surroundings. Resolution 2532x1170 pixels at a density of 460 ppi, refresh rate 60 Hz, maximum brightness 800 nits, and peak brightness up to 1200 nits (HDR). The fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating offers sufficient protection against smudges and other contaminants. Due to the absence of the conventional LED backlight used in IPS, increased energy efficiency is achieved. The technology is based on organic light-emitting diodes and each glows separately, which makes it possible to increase battery life.

CPU

The iPhone 14 is powered by an exclusive 64-bit ARM system on a chip (SoC). The ultra-fast A15 Bionic is developed using an advanced 5-nanometer (N5P) process technology. It consists of 2 high-performance processor cores and 4 energy-efficient ones, as well as a GPU with five compute units and an improved 16-core NPU. This decision was inherited from the 13th series, but a different arrangement of elements guarantees phenomenal performance. The novelty is excellently suited to perform any operation and easily copes with the most complex tasks. An incredible supply of gaming power deserves special attention. Even Genshin Impact, known for its resource intensity and peculiar optimization, manages without lags at maximum graphic presets.

Camera

This component of the iPhone 14 has changed dramatically. There are two rear cameras - main and wide-angle (both 12 megapixels, f/1.5 and f/2.4 aperture, respectively). The main module received an enlarged sensor, capable of capturing 49% more light, supports optical image stabilization with a matrix shift. The introduction of the innovative Photonic Engine technology is driving a huge leap forward in low-light photography. All you have to do is press the shutter and the photon engine goes beyond what only a camera can do. It combines the best pixels from multiple exposures at an earlier stage than ever before. This allows much more image data to be saved for brighter, truer tones and stunningly detailed textures during night shooting.

Other novelties

Just 100% recycled gold wire is used in all camers. A telephoto lens allows you to capture clear close-ups from far away. Cinematic mode automatically switches focus to a key subject in the scene, while portrait mode cleverly blurs both the background and foreground. Up to four people are recognized in the picture to adjust not only the contrast, but also the skin tone for each.

Among the notable innovations in the iPhone 14, a number of important points stand out:

• availability of modifications with a storage capacity of 128, 256 or 512 GB:
• incredibly responsive branded iOS, the interface of which is now much more convenient:
• support for satellite communications, indispensable in emergency situations (for emergency SOS signal when there is no mobile network and Wi-Fi):
• crash Detection to call the special services in case of a car accident involving the owner (works via satellite, using a gyroscope and an accelerometer, recognizes the force of a collision and communicates with a trusted contact):
• improvement of the wireless module Bluetooth 5.3 vs. 5.0;
• high-precision sensors, including gyroscope, accelerometer, light sensor;
• the longest battery life (one hour longer when playing video and five hours when listening to music);
• the ability to quickly charge up to 50% in about 30 minutes.

The most unexpected innovations include dual eSIM support. This is a serious step towards technology without connectors and any interfaces.
