Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “First look at the new iPhone 14 Pro: dynamic island?”.
Hey it’s Eli, I’m here at Apple’s, far out event where the company just announced the new iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 plus the iPhone 14 pro and the iPhone 14 pro Max. I just had a chance to play with the iPhone 14 pro Max. It looks beautiful. It’S obviously this amazing purple color the real standout feature is the dynamic Island. That’S what Apple’s calling you cut out or on the front camera.
The big trick here is the OLED display around this pill-shaped cutout can actually move and resize around the camera and the true depth sensor. So you kind of get a hybrid of notifications and live widgets right on the screen at all times you can see here. I just started playing some music. I swipe up the music player goes straight into the dynamic Island.
I can add a timer. The timer also goes to the dynamic Island. Now I can quickly jump into either of those apps or quickly control, either of those apps directly from the island. You can also do things like start a voice.
Memo see those controls right in the dynamic Island Apple says: third-party apps will be able to use the dynamic Island. It will also play nice with the new live activity. Widget it’s in iOS, 16..
So all kinds of things on your phone are going to be updating dynamically way. More often, the iPhone 14 pro also has a new camera system. The standout feature here is a 48 megapixel sensor on the main camera, like other big sensors around the industry.
Apple is pixel binning this to collect more light. You usually get a 12 megapixel photo out of the end, but in Pro raw you can shoot the entire 48 megapixel image apple says it can also crop the sensor to deliver a true 2x zoom and Optical quality. That’S still 12 megapixels and, of course, you’ve got the true 3x telephoto on the pro so three true Zoom modes, we’re gon na, have to check on that crop. Quality apple is also applying its deep Fusion technology earlier in the image pipeline.
Now, with something called the photonic engine, it says it can deliver at least 2x better performance in low light and most of the cameras 3x. The main camera, of course that’s hard to test here. It’S lit beautifully we’ll get that out in the real world and check it out. The other big news on the pro is the always on display Apple, says it’s using a bunch of Technologies to accomplish this, including a new Ultra below one Hertz, refresh rate and even lower brightness with a new kind of OLED technology.
It’S using, you can just see your lock screen. Widgets here hit the button it brightens right up, you’re awake. Obviously, Android phones have had this feature forever, but it’s nice to see it come to the iPhone. The other big feature on the display is it can do up to 1600 nits Peak brightness now, which matches the studio display with some videos.
It can go up to 2 000 nits of brightness, which is frankly incredible for phone. The iPhone 14 pro you’ve got the new a16 bionic chip Apple says it’s its first four nanometer chip ever and, of course, its fastest chip. Ever they showed us some charts, unlabeled axes, charts, look great Apple, also says in some operations, they’ll be up to 20 faster than the a15 bionic.
In the outgoing Pro Apple obviously says, battery life is improved. The stat it’s quoting is 29 hours of video playback time. So we’ll have to get this out in the real world to test it out.
Connectivity wise still, a 5G phone apple is doing away with Sim trays here in the United States, they’re all e-sim. Now that means you activate the phone on whatever provider right from the phone itself. Providers have been locking these down so we’ll have to see how that works out in the real world Apple’s, also adding its new emergency SOS satellite system, where you can hold the phone up to the sky and send text messages to emergency providers. That’S a complicated system we’ll get into more on the site.
Video wise. The camera has some new modes. It’S got action mode, which is a hyper stabilized mode. It actually uses that full sensor and over scans and crops it down to stabilize the video. You also can shoot in 4k, 24 in 4k, 30 in cinematic mode.
Now you can see here. Cinematic mode did not like all these spaces, we’ll have to test that out as well. The iPhone 14 pro starts at 9.99.
The 14 pro Max starts at 10.99. Both can be configured up to one terabyte of storage, pre-order start on September. 9Th they ship on September 16th, we’ll be back soon with the full review. Apple also announced the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 plus, which has a 6.7 inch screen.
These have the same a15 bionic chip is last year’s Pro Models. The screens can get up to 1200 nits and Peak brightness. The iPhone 14s also have improved cameras. The main camera is still a 12 megapixel sensor, but it’s got smaller 1.9 Micron pixels and an F 1.5 aperture lens apple is also using its protonic engine Tech.
It just introduced that puts that deep Fusion sweater mode earlier in the process. You get two times better low light performance on most of the cameras two and a half times better performance on the main camera. The front camera on the iPhone is really important. It’S also been improved here.
It’S now F, 1.9, with autofocus. For the first time Apple says you get 38 better low light performance. Video also gets the new action mode which uses the full sensor.
It’S supposed to give you gimbal-like stabilization, we’ll have to check that out and, of course, the iPhone 14s can now shoot in Dolby Vision, HDR, which is very cool. The big feature of the iPhone 14 plus, though, is the new satellite emergency SOS system, where, if you’re out in the wilderness, away from connectivity and something bad happens to you, you can hold your phone up to the sky, connect directly to a satellite and send a Text message to an emergency provider: if that emergency provider doesn’t accept text messages, Apple actually has relay stations or apple staff will accept your text messages call the emergency, provide water and past messages back and forth. That feature will be free with the new iPhone 14.
For two years, we have to see how much it’ll cost, after that, the weirdest thing about this event is that almost every video had a car crash in it. Apple’S got a new feature on the phones and the watch where it can detect car crashes and alert emergency services, and your emergency contacts iPhone 14 starts at 7.99. The iPhone 14 plus starts at 8.99.
You can order them on September, 9th the smaller iPhone 14. You can get on September 16th. The larger iPhone 14 plus arrives on October 7th. It’S been three years since there was event in the Steve Jobs theater, let alone an iPhone event, and it is nuts to be back here. .
