IPhone 14 pro and 14 pro max announced: characteristics, new features, price and availability

The photos taken this are by default in 12 megapixels, just to do not grab the memory of the phone too much, but are more beautiful. Infined photographers can nevertheless work in 48 megapixels with Apple Proraw mode. Which will allow them precise post-production touch-ups from raw and uncompressed files. The 48 megapixel sensor of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max is supported by a second 12-megapixel high-angle sensor and an optical telephoto lens up to 3x. In video, 4K up to 24 i/s or 30 i/s is on board (in Dolby Vision).

iPhone 14: The four new features that make all the difference with the previous Apple smartphones

No real revolution to wait for new iPhone 14s announced during the keynote of September 7, even if Apple advances, for some of them, some interesting new features. To avoid you having to immerse yourself in the technical sheets of each iPhone 14, “20 minutes” summarizes you what is important to know.

A new accelerometer and a new gyroscope allow them to detect if you are the victim of a road accident. If you have lost consciousness, the emergency services and a few relatives whose contact details you have previously recorded will be alerted (this function is also deployed on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, but also the new Apple Watch Series 8, SE 2 and Ultra).

2 – Better interactivity

Common to the iPhone 14 pro and 14 pro max (respectively sold from 1.329 euros and 1.479 euros in 6.1 and 6.7 inches, 200 euros more than the previous generation !), the “Dynamic Island” should add a little fun to the Apple experience. Yes, there is new on the screen !

Superimposed to the front notch at the top of the terminal screen, it is a new and small dynamic and constantly activated interface that relays the information of certain applications (plans, music, timer, etc.). This information is thus constantly visible. It looks very practical and rather ergonomic, and we can’t wait to use it. There is also a safe bet that the developers will take hold of this “Dynamic Island” to imagine new uses !

3 – Finally an “Always on Display” mode

Expected with firm feet, the “Always on Display” mode appears, but here too, only on the iPhone 14 pro and pro max. This is not new: many Android smartphones offer this function which allows, on a locked and darkened screen which consumes very little energy, to keep the time display, certain widgets and notifications.

Apple the inauguration and argues that it is made possible thanks to its new Bionic 16 chip which equips the 14 pro and 14 pro max, but also to their new screen at the refresh rate of 1 Hz at 120 Hz. 1 Hz is the frequency used by “Always on Display”. These same screens which, with brightness up to 2,000 beds (twice as much as on the iPhone 13 pro) should become serious partners for the game and watching videos.

4 – A new sensor for pros

The iPhone 14 Pro also have in common the presence of a new 48 megapixel main photo sensor. It is quad pixels. This assumes that each pixel is made up of four sub-pixels. This technology is also called “pixel binning”. Already developed under Android, it allows you to combine information gathered by subpixels in a larger pixel. At the end, more detailed and bright photos, especially in low light.

The photos taken this are by default in 12 megapixels, just to do not grab the memory of the phone too much, but are more beautiful. Infined photographers can nevertheless work in 48 megapixels with Apple Proraw mode. Which will allow them precise post-production touch-ups from raw and uncompressed files. The 48 megapixel sensor of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max is supported by a second 12-megapixel high-angle sensor and an optical telephoto lens up to 3x. In video, 4K up to 24 i/s or 30 i/s is on board (in Dolby Vision).

It remains to be seen whether these technical advances will materialize with really more beautiful photos in the eyes of the general public. And pro photographers will respond “present” to the call of Apple’s foot.

iPhone 14: it will be launched in four versions from September 16 and its price may exceed 2.Euros!

Apple Watch: The new connected watches will automatically sound the alert in the event of a road accident

Major Tom to Ground Control ..

The new generation of iPhone 14 inaugurates satellite communication. The idea is not to make calls or send WhatsApp when you are in the middle of a desert or at the top of Everest, but to alert help if necessary, if one does not a neither cellular network, and even less wifi. In the event of a glitch, the function can be activated manually. It makes it possible to answer a brief questionnaire with vital questions. The responses are then transmitted to help (“specialists trained by Apple”, specifies the manufacturer) who will intervene. Under cleared sky, according to Apple, it would take less than 15 seconds to establish the communication. This free function for two years will be available in the United States and Canada. On this ground, Apple is taken from a short head by the Huawei Mate 50 and Mate 50 Pro which have just been announced in China.

iPhone 14 pro and 14 pro max announced: characteristics, new features, price and availability

As expected, Apple announced the iPhone 14 and 14 pro max. Here we benefit from many new features, at all levels: screen, performance, photography.

Apple has officially announced the top of the range its generation iPhone 14: the iPhone 14 pro and 14 pro max. Here are the new features in an image, but we go back in detail below.

Pass the pill

This is the fourth year that Apple divides its range of smartphones in regular and “pro” devices. Last year, however, the difference was clear thanks to the arrival of the 120 Hz promotion screen, in addition to the additional telephoto lens, the Lidar sensor and more RAM and basic storage.

This year, standard and pro models are moving away even more. First, the notch disappears.

As rumors claimed, A hole replaces the notch. This forms a kind of pill. Like the notch, this pill hosts the different sensors useful for Face ID and the front camera.

Apple calls it ” The Dynamic Island Because the space reserved for sensors will interact with notifications. He will also be able to accommodate widgets there, which can be enlarged to consult more content or carry out an action.

In other words, Apple has completely revised the notification system with the iPhone 14 Pro by considering the new visual characteristics of the pill which takes the place of the traditional notch.

The screens of the 14 pro and 14 pro max are now 6.1 and 6.7 inches, respectively. The maximum brightness increases to 1600 nits, instead of 1200. In extreme cases, Apple even evokes 2000 nits in the peak of brightness outside, What we usually see on LCD screens.

L’Always-on-Display also made its appearance, taking advantage of the technical characteristics of the LTPO screen (up to 1 Hz) and OLED. We still benefit from colors and a screen that remains readable. If you have not followed: this is a kind of watch screen. As you will see, this is a technology borrowed from Android competition.

On the performance side, theApple A16 Bionic is the evolution that was expected. This new Apple chip is engraved in 4 nm, it is the most powerful chip for smartphone according to Apple. It is announced 40 % more efficient than competition.

With 4 efficient cores and 2 performance cores, the design is hybrid like the previous Apple chips. The GPU goes to 5 cores with 50 % increase. While it has a new Display Engine engine dedicated to Always On Display mode.

Note in passing that there is now a ditch between range 14 and 14 pro, because the 14 and 14 Plus benefit from an Apple 15 Bionic chip with a 5 -core GPU.

On the photography side, the iPhone 14 Pro was expected. The 12 megapixel sensor is replaced by A 48 megapixel sensor for the main camera, or 300 % more pixels. It opens in F/1.78, and uses pixel bining technology to merge pixels. Succinctly 4 pixels gives 1 pixel to improve the details and the brightness recovered. We have known the technique for a very long time in the Android world.

The iPhone 14 Pro is also able to make Proraw 48 megapixels.

In addition to the Telezoom X3 of 13 Pro, A Telephoto X2 is added (12 megapixels, f/1.78). You will still have three cameras, not 4, because it is a false X2 mode. He uses the 12 megapixel sensor of the telephoto x3. Moreover, technically, it is the same X3 camera that the 13 pro, the magic of the X2 would come from the Apple A16 Bionic.

Let’s also talk about the ultra-angle. This last camera has also been reviewed, it still offers macro-photography.

For video, The kinematic mode is now available in 4K to 30 I/S quality and 4K to 24 I/S.

And, at the front, we also have An improved TrueDepth camera, with autofocus. With an opening ƒ/1.9, it is supposed to offer better photo and video performance in low light conditions. Endowed for the first time with an autofocus, it should develop faster in situations where the brightness is low and in group photos taken from afar.

New options in the case of an emergency, including a satellite connection

Like the iPhone 14, the 14 pro benefit from the car accident detection option. This is an option that also arrives on the new Watch. With an improved gyroscope and accelerometer, iPhone 14 will therefore be able to detect accidents to alert emergencies.

The satellite connection is used in this specific case, and only there, to prevent emergencies. You will therefore not be able to use it to exchange data or call friends. Messages will take 15 seconds to be sent as part of a clear sky.

The satellite mode will also be used with Find My (Locate), to find your lost iPhone.

Note that only the United States and Canada are compatible with this mode, for the moment.

Prices and availability

There are four colors, purple, sidereal gray, gold and silver.

The iPhone 14 Pro will start to 1329 euros (999 dollars), While the iPhone 14 Pro Max will start to 1479 euros ($ 1,099). You will find the full list of prices on this article, with a comparison compared to the pre -generation.

Both will be available Upon order on September 9, and shipped on September 16.
