The hotly anticipated iPhone14 is coming this week, and everyone has thoughts to share. Here are some of the smartest takes we've seen on the new iPhones.
Apple’s iPhone 14 and 14 Pro are going to start shipping this week after a brief pre-order period. These are the company’s marquee products for the year, and they have the weight of expectations on them. Apple has made more than a few changes to the iPhone this year. There’s a new display with a new interface paradigm, a new high-resolution camera, and the notch is gone too! Is all that enough to justify shelling over $1,000 on a new phone? Well, we’ll have to review it for ourselves and see.
“I need to spend more than a week with the iPhone 14 Pro to know how much of an impact it would make on my life, but for now, the biggest effect is aesthetic. Seeing the pill change into a square when signing into an app or Apple Pay with Face ID, as well as the turn right arrow appear when I’m navigating somewhere, is a nice touch,” said Engadget’s Cherlynn Low.
The other bit of the display that’s getting all the attention is the always-on display. Finally joining the ranks of Samsung, OnePlus, and other Android phone makers, the iPhone’s display will now keep itself active while not in use. The camera isn’t much better though With the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone Pro Max, Apple is joining the high-resolution camera parade that you’ll find on the very best Android phones. From a 12-megapixel main camera, the company is making the leap to 48MP. That’s competitive with most Android phone makers who run the gamut from 50MP to as much as 200MP. As with their Android counterparts, though, the leap in the quality of results has not been as impressive as it would seem on paper.
The iPhone still has a pretty good camera, all things considered. Perhaps, as with Dynamic Island, this is one of those things where third-party developers and talented photographers would have to pull out the true potential of the iPhone’s camera, especially with the RAW support Apple builds into its iPhones.
There’s little reason to get an iPhone 14 specifically since you can get a lot of what the iPhone 14 offers with the iPhone 13, and for less. This doesn’t apply to the iPhone 14 Plus, which is a different beast on its own. For the regular iPhone 14, though, it’s not the best deal.
