IPhone 14: Apple’s Bestseller Returns In Style But Is Increasingly Far From Its Older Brothers

The new iPhone 14 is here. Apple has just officially announced its new flagship mobile, which comes along with its older brothers, the iPhone 14 Pro, and 14 Pro Max, and the new iPhone 14 Plus, with a larger screen. One more year we have with us a mobile phone that aspires to become a true best seller, thanks to that winning combination that the Apple ecosystem represents, a contained size, the most reasonable price among the new iPhones, and the latest generation features.

Below we explain all the specifications and features of this iPhone 14, a smartphone that maintains that characteristic 6.1-inch screen, the inexhaustible Lightning connection, and the renowned Apple A15 Bionic processor. Because the new iPhone 14 improves in battery, camera, and design, but the difference with the Pro models is increasingly noticeable.

Keeping the most recognizable of the iPhone

The iPhone 14 continues to look as usual. Unlike the Pro models, which have replaced the notch with holes in the screen, the standard model will maintain the great hallmark of the iPhone in recent years.

At the design level, this iPhone 14 is very similar to the iPhone 13, with a diagonal of 6.1 inches and a compact body with IP68 water resistance. The OLED Super Retina XDR display has improved brightness but maintains the resolution of last year’s model.

Another big difference compared to his brothers is the heart. For the first time, Apple chooses to incorporate a different processor in the basic model compared to the Pro. This means that while the Pro adds the new Apple A16 Bionic, the iPhone 14 opts for a version of the A15 Bionic with six cores and a GPU. 15% faster five-core.

At the photographic level, the iPhone 14 once again has two sensors. We have a 12-megapixel main sensor with ‘Sensor Shift’ optical image stabilization and a secondary 12-megapixel sensor for the wide angle. In addition to cinematic video mode and night mode, Apple offers 4K video recording with Dolby Vision.

Apple explains that night photography has improved by 49% thanks to the presence of a larger sensor. With the new iPhone 14 a new ‘Action’ mode is incorporated to improve stabilization. Deep Fusion processing has also been improved, promising an increase in color processing results. In the front camera, it incorporates autofocus for the first time.

Apple does not share battery specifications, but improvements have also been promised in this section to increase autonomy by several hours compared to the iPhone 13, reaching an “all day” battery. Once again, Apple decides to bet on the Lightning connection for its flagship mobile, to the detriment of a USB-C that does not end up reaching the iPhone.

For the software, we will have iOS 16, the great update of its mobile operating system. Meanwhile, at the connectivity level, we have WiFi 6 and 5G. Users in the United States will be able to enjoy the iPhone 14 without a physical SIM. However, European models will continue to have SIM as usual. The iPhone 14 is also the first to be compatible with a satellite connection, also only for the US and Canada.
