This is certainly the biggest evolution of an Apple smartphone since the release of the iPhone X in 2017. The apple brand unveiled its new iPhone 14 and the high-end iPhone 14 Pro model on Tuesday, September 7. without a notch and with a more powerful camera, during its traditional back-to-school keynote in Cupertino, California.
The main novelty in terms of design is at the level of the notch, which disappears in favor of a more discreet space in the shape of “pill” (baptized Dynamic Island). A true signature of the American firm’s models for five years, the notch had become unsightly as the competition (Samsung, Oppo, etc.) had reduced it to the size of a punch for the front camera, while Apple continued to justify its presence because of its FaceID security technology. On the iPhone 14 Pro, this pill will be well integrated into the software since it will expand and shrink in depending on the use (receiving calls, sending messages, notifications, etc.).
A milestone has also been reached in terms of photography since the iPhone 14 Pro,equipped with the A16 Bionic chip, inaugurates an unprecedented pro photo system on Apple with a 48 Mpx main camera equipped with a quad-pixel sensor. An enhanced image processing system will also allow better quality photos to be taken in low light conditions. A 12MP ultra-wide-angle sensor is also present on this Pro model and the front camera has been improved.
Another novelty, the screen of the iPhone 14 Pro will be “always on” (always on) and will nevertheless benefit from an increased autonomy. In terms of security, functions allowing you to passSatellite emergency calls and an accident detection system to alert help more quickly have been added. The iPhone 14 Pro and its “large format” version iPhone 14 Pro Max will be available from Friday, September 16 in four new colors: purple, silver, gold and black.
Also presented on Wednesday, the iPhone 14 has minor improvements compared to previous iPhone 13 models, released in September 2021. As for the “Mini” model, it has not been renewed for this new generation. In the United States, Apple announced that prices for the iPhone 14 would be similar to those of the two previous iPhone lines despite rampant inflation and component shortages. But in Europe, prices are rising: no model will be available below 1000 euros. The iPhone 14 is displayed from 1019 euros and the iPhone 14 Pro from 1329 euros.
