The iPhone14Pro may not look new, but it has all-new tech and software. We think you're going to love it.
iPhone 14 Pro MSRP $999.00 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “The iPhone 14 Pro's outstanding performance, simple and powerful software, versatile camera, and high-quality design make for an effortless ownership experience.” Pros Cons Everything about the iPhone 14 Pro feels entirely effortless. The design is expertly judged and modern, the software is incredibly simple to use, and the camera takes even better photographs than its predecessor.
Previous Next 1 of 4 On the back, the camera module is large and makes a bold statement when the iPhone 14 Pro isn’t in a case, but because the three cameras protrude considerably, the phone never lays flat on any surface. It all adds up to a smartphone that’s unmistakably an iPhone. This isn’t a groundbreaking design, there’s nothing especially flashy about it, yet it manages to be classy and cool, fitting in with every situation.
Controls for music and audio apps also stay on-screen and a quick tap wakes them up, ready to pause or change tracks. I’ve found the whole lock screen experience to be sharper and faster to react than before. I use the phone in my car for music, and where before it took multiple taps to make anything work, it’s a single tap and an instant reaction on the iPhone 14 Pro. The always-on screen is beautiful, useful, and a step above implementations we’ve seen elsewhere in terms of design.
For now, what you see is potential. The Dynamic Island never feels intrusive, and the functionality it does provide is helpful. Music controls are the best example, as a short tap takes you directly to the app that’s playing, and a longer press reveals a set of quick controls. Although these features can be found elsewhere in iOS, it’s undeniably fast and intuitive to use the Dynamic Island, and it bodes well for the future when more apps make use of it.
There’s one key software advantage over many other phones that makes the iPhone such a joy to live with, and that’s software updates. Although Apple doesn’t put a time frame on how long it officially supports its smartphones with major updates to iOS, the most recent iOS 16 software works as far back as the iPhone 8, released at the end of 2017. It’s reasonable to expect the iPhone 14 Pro to continue getting updates for another five years.
Previous Next 1 of 15 Stills can be shot in Apple’s ProRaw mode, providing more potential for editing by those who know how to get the best from the format. But beware, as ProRaw photos take up a lot of space, with single images coming in at around 60MB or more. It gets even worse if you want to experiment with the ProRes feature for video, as Apple estimates a single minute of ProRes video will take up a giant 1.7GB of storage space,.
Apple doesn’t supply a charger with the iPhone 14 Pro, but it does put a USB Type-C to Lightning cable in the box. If you own Apple’s 20-watt charging block, expect the battery to charge to 50% in about 30 minutes. I use Apple’s 29W charging block, and this takes it to full in just over an hour. It’s acceptable performance, but can’t match the fast charging times provided by the OnePlus 10T, or many phones from Oppo or Xiaomi. It is consistent with Samsung’s phones, though.
