On the front, the iPhone 14 features a new 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle main camera with f/1.5 aperture and sensor-based stabilization. Apple claims a 49% improvement in low-light image quality, while night mode is twice as fast. There's also the new 12-megapixel TrueDepth camera with autofocus on the front.
Apple claimed it also applied Deep Fusion image processing in the early stage of image pipeline to improve low-light performance and color rendering, calling the technology a "Photonic Engine." Video recording also gets a new stabilization mode called Action Mode, which uses the entire sensor for gimbal-style stabilization.
Up to 20 hours for the iPhone 14 and up to 26 hours for the iPhone 14 plus, with MagSafe charger wireless charging for even faster speeds.
Connectivity: In addition to the 5G network, the iPhone 14/14 Plus also supports eSIM. Of course, even if Apple wants to get rid of physical SIM cards entirely, that won't happen anytime soon. Only the US model of the iPhone 14 has confirmed that it will no longer have a SIM card tray in favour of full eSIM.
Satellite SOS function: The iPhone 14 can send out an emergency signal via satellite, which is an important addition to cellular mobile networks.
Apple designs and builds custom components and software to enable the iPhone's antenna to connect to the satellite, which users must point directly at the satellite. A custom short text compression system reduced the size of information by three times.
The compression algorithm makes it possible to send and receive information within 15 seconds. And in collaboration with emergency specialists, the phone has preset a variety of emergency situations for users to quickly choose from.
Apple has set up relay centers to get text messages from users and forward them to emergency providers that only accept calls. There are hundreds of staff involved.
The feature will be available in November and will be free for iPhone14 users for two years.
Only the Pro series has A16.

The little bangs who have been complained about for many years are finally gone, and replaced by "Smart Island". Well, the pills.

iPhone 14 Pro Max: 6.7-inch display
The Pro Display display is used, with a peak value of up to 1600 nits and a maximum brightness of 2000 nits outdoors, and LTPO technology allows the screen refresh rate to be as low as 1Hz, and the always-on display saves power.
The iPhone 14 Pro series uses the new A16 Bionic chip, which uses TSMC's 4nm process and has nearly 16 billion transistors inside. At the press conference, Apple compared the A13 Bionic, which was launched three years ago, and a new, anonymous competitor released this year.
It has a 6-core CPU, including 2 high-performance cores that use 20% less power. The four energy-efficient cores use one-third the power of rival chips. Neural engine up to 16 cores.
In the lens part, the iPhone 14 Pro series has a new 48-megapixel main camera with an aperture of f/1.78 and an equivalent 24m focal length.
The 48-megapixel lens supports 4in1 pixel technology, which means that it can take a photo with 12-megapixel effective pixels, and the overall light intake will be larger than the 12-megapixel lens of the iPhone 13 Pro. At the same time, Apple's lens can capture photos in ProRAW format at 48 million pixels. What's more, an equivalent 2X optical zoom effect can be achieved on the main lens through a composite algorithm.
In terms of photography, the iPhone 14 Pro series is equipped with a 48-megapixel four-in-one sensor, which is officially said to be 65% larger than the previous generation. And it has a second-generation displacement sensor.
The overall light intake is more and the shooting is more stable. This time, the 2X option has been added, which is cropped from 48 million pixels and can get the same optical quality. The 12 million ultra-wide-angle lens will have a certain improvement when shooting macro proofs. The flash is upgraded to an adaptive flash with brighter brightness and improved details.
In terms of camera, it supports up to 4K30 frames and movie mode.
Up to 23 hours for the iPhone 14 Pro.
