Apple announced its iPhone 14 series at an event in early September, giving us an insight into the different models that will be available in 2022. There are four devices in this series, namely iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, and there is no iPhone.14 mini this year.
With each new generation of iPhones comes the question of which model an interested buyer should choose, so we’re going to show you the differences between the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
1. Price
Of course, the prices of iPhone 14 mobile phone models are not the same, so it goes without saying that, fortunately, the price in the United States has not increased compared with last year, but other countries may vary due to differences in exchange rate conversion, this time The prices are: iPhone 14 starts at $799, iPhone 14 Plus starts at $899, iPhone 14 Pro starts at $999, and iPhone 14 Pro Max starts at $1099.
2. Design
The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus feature an aluminum body, dual cameras, notch, and five color designs, while the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max feature stainless steel frames, triple cameras, dynamic islands, and four colors
The iPhone 14 standard model has the same design as the iPhone 13 model, but retains a hole in the upper part of the screen, and the iPhone 14 Plus looks the same as the standard model, but as we expected, it is bigger, as in previous years, which means For both sizes, you again get dual lenses and a bezel flat and aluminum frame, which also offers protection from water and dust.
However, the iPhone 14 Pro looks different from the standard version, or from any iPhone launched before, as widely rumored, the well-known notch at the top front of the screen has been dubbed a dynamic island by Apple, an area shaped like a capsule, Located at the top of the screen and divided into two sections, one containing the front-facing camera and facial recognition sensors called Face ID, and the other containing widget-like animations and information, the dynamic island displays different notifications and adapts to your actions.
For example: when using Apple Pay, the dynamic island turns into a square, while on a call, it expands to show the duration of the call and the sound wave when another app is opened during the call. Overall, it’s a major shift from the design language Apple has been using for years, and the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max look completely different when compared to past Apple models.
The iPhone 14 Pro also has triple rear cameras, is heavier than the standard model, and has a shiny stainless steel frame instead of aluminum.
The phones also don’t come in the same color. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus buyers can choose from Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple, and Red. The iPhone 14 Pro phones, on the other hand, come in space black, gold, dark purple, and silver.
Visually, there is no difference in size between the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, but in fact the 14 Pro version has a 6.1-inch screen diagonal, while the Pro Max phone has a 6.7-inch screen.
3. Display screen
Both the Pro and Pro Max models feature Apple’s OLED screens, with the iPhone 14 Pro Max having a resolution of 2,796 x 1,290 pixels, while the iPhone 14 Pro has a significantly lower resolution of 2,556 x 1,179 pixels. A lower resolution, it has the same pixel density due to a smaller display.
Hence, both smartphones report 460 ppi. This stands for “pixels per inch” and refers to the number of pixels per inch on the screen. Therefore, both iPhones show clear content.
4. Performance
Apple’s in-house mobile chipset range is one of the fastest on the market, and the chipset also features high power efficiency, fast computing speeds, AI computing without any cloud connection, and local data encryption.
If you own an iPhone 14 Pro and an iPhone 14 Pro Max, you won’t notice any difference in performance, both devices contain the new Bionic A16 chip, and according to Apple, the processor should be more power efficient for multitasking and gaming performs better, thanks to the higher bandwidth. for memory.
Apple tapped into the graphics performance that video editing should do better now, plus the processor is responsible for new features like an always-on display that permanently shows certain widgets, but saves power, thus extending battery life.
All new-generation iPhone models, as well as some older ones, will also get iOS 16. The new smartphone operating system also brings some innovations. The update should also improve system stability and performance, which is already pretty good.
5. Camera comparison
Apple shares are at the forefront in the field of smartphones, so they have been working hard to stay at the forefront in terms of capabilities and development, so with the new generation of iPhones, Apple has also evaluated the camera, and the Pro mobile phone has also witnessed a change from 12 megabytes The pixels have jumped to 48 megapixels, and on the other hand, the iPhone 14 camera will also be equipped with a 12 megapixel sensor this year. The Pro phones still produce 12-megapixel recordings at standard settings. This is due to so-called pixel binning, where four pixels from the 48-megapixel sensor are combined in each case, and it ends up with a resolution of just 12MP, but bigger pixels mean higher resolution. This results in better recording, especially in low light.
In addition to the aforementioned main camera, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max also offer a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens (three times optical zoom), compared with the previous generation, these lenses do not have the any improvements.
The front-facing selfie camera can now focus on multiple people at the same time, and with on-screen autofocus, group selfies can be taken in just a few simple steps.
6. Battery performance
In addition to performance and cameras, Apple has improved batteries, but not on all models. The iPhone 14 now uses a 3,279 mAh battery. For comparison: the iPhone 13 is 3,227 mAh. In the iPhone 14 Pro, the battery capacity is 3,200 mAh. Compared to its immediate predecessor, the Pro Max model takes a different route with its 4,323 mAh battery capacity, but how does the raw number affect the practice?
Tests have shown that improving processor efficiency has a much greater impact on runtime than pure energy storage capacity, as an example: Testers streamed Full HD video over WLAN, creating similar conditions with a screen brightness of 300 nits, Pro Max phone battery life The longest battery life was 19:46 hours, followed by the iPhone 14 Plus at 19:22 hours, followed by the iPhone 14 Pro at 16:50 hours, and finally the standard version at 15:10 hours, all four devices received very good reviews, And significantly better than its predecessor.
