When Apple released the iPhone 13 series last year, there was a lot of talk about how little innovation it brings. A first look at the 14 pros we’ve had seems to elicit the same sentiment, but it’s not that bad. The devices look almost the same, but if you look closely, you will find more than enough small differences on the outside. Inside, a lot has changed, and many of the new features people have been waiting for from last year’s devices can now be found on the iPhone 14 Pro. For example, it is equipped with an always-on function and a FaceID camera that can handle face masks. In addition, some new features have already been added and existing components are improved. The new hardware has new soc, improved cameras, and slightly larger batteries. In addition, the Cupertino company has made a change regarding the models it markets.

Goodbye my little friend

Apple also released the latest iPhone this year in four flavors, two “Pro” versions and two cheaper models without a suffix. The first thing that immediately strikes us is that the mini version had to clear the field. Where the Series 13 still has the 13 Mini, the Series 14 has to dispense with a smaller series. Instead, Apple released a larger model ranging from 14 to 14 Pro. Although we often hear from users that there is a need for smaller smartphones, analysts say the demand for smaller smartphones is already declining. There have been rumors in recent years that Apple will stop producing the iPhone 12 Mini. early strike After moderate sales numbers and also other manufacturers announced that the demand for small devices is too small to be worth starting. This only became painfully clear when Pebble founder Eric Mijikowski several months ago petition I started making a small device. If more than 50,000 signatures are collected, manufacturers will have to make a small device, otherwise Migicovsky will take matters into his own hands and produce such a device. We’re now here about five months later and the counter is stuck at 37,000 signatures. So it makes sense that Apple didn’t produce the 14 Mini, but instead opted for a larger model: the iPhone 14 Plus.

Another thing that has seen significant growth in the new range of iPhones is the price. In this review we focus on Pro devices that are more expensive than ever before; You even pay more than 2000 euros for the most expensive alternative. Relatively speaking, you’ll also get more phones, as the distinction between Pro and non-Pro will increase this year. In this review, we focus only on the Pro models, and we cover the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus in another article. The 14 Pro is the only one with a new design, the screen is not only brighter and displays smoother images, but also has an always-on function. The new 48MP main camera is also pro-exclusive, as is the ultra-wide-angle camera and the telephoto camera. Apple even keeps the new A16 soc for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max; The 14 and 14 Plus should handle last year’s A15. Are the new changes and additions enough to make you go to the store for these devices? We have tested it extensively and compared the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max with the iPhone 13 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
