Apple launched its most-awaited product of the year—the iPhone 14. The new phones boast improved performance, better camera and battery, and new innovative safety features.

The new iPhone 14 costs $799, iPhone 14 Plus $899, iPhone 14 Pro $999 and iPhone 14 Pro Max is priced at $1,099. All the promising devices are up for preorders now.

While upgrading to a new iPhone or switching to an iOS ecosystem, a lot of factors come into play, the primary being the price. Unlike the Android phones which start at sub $200, iPhones are costly, even their most basic version costs $799.

Though the company touts iPhone 14 to be a superior upgrade to its predecessor, iPhone 13, not all the models are built on the same specification.

A closer look at the new lineup can offer a glimpse of the stark difference between the pro and non-pro models.

So, before you start crunching numbers or break out the credit cards to rush to buy it, here’s a guide as to why&nbsp;should skip the phone.

Processor

If you own an iPhone 13, then you can comfortably ignore iPhone 14, as the specifications of both phones are exactly the same.

For starters, both iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 have same processor—A15 Bionic Chip.

Though there is a minor difference, iPhone 14’s processor comes with 5-core GPU (found in iPhone 13 pro), iPhone 13 comes with 4-core GPU, offering slight improvements to overall battery life and performance.

Camera and Display

Both come with Super Retina XDR OLED and have 12MP main (f/1.5) and 12MP ultrawide (f/2.4) cameras.

Though there are a couple of differences which come down to some small hardware tweaks and improved software photography.

iPhone 14’s main sensor sports smaller 1.9-micron pixels and an f/1.5 aperture, which is the same as the iPhone 13 Pro. Meaning&nbsp;that it can take low light pictures with crisp detail.

Secondly, the 12MP selfie camera has been updated with an f/1.9 aperture, again the same as the iPhone 13 Pro, which allows for better low light photography.

Design

The iPhone 14 looks very similar to the iPhone 13. Both are made of glass and aluminum with glossy backs. The iPhone 14 has a Ceramic Shield on the front glass for added durability, just like the previous model.

Dimensions are almost identical, too. iPhone 14 is measuring in at 5.78 x 2.82 x 0.31 inches with a weight of 6.07 ounces, slightly lighter than iPhone 13 (6.10 ounces).

Battery

This time Apple has bumped up the battery for iPhone 14, but it is not a significant increase compared to iPhone 13.

The new phone comes up with 3,240mAh compared to its predecessor’s 3,279mAh.

Expectedly, the larger 14 Plus comes a far larger battery than that, with an up to 25 per cent increase in longevity over the iPhone 13.

However, we have to wait for the teardown videos to find out how much difference the battery performance makes between the old and new iPhones.

Planning to upgrade to iPhone 14? Here’s why you should reconsider

Apple launched a new range of smartphones on Wednesday (September 7) with a stunning and most-talked about Emergency SOS via satellite feature.&nbsp;

Despite inflation and supply chain woes, Apple has launched the iPhone 14 models at prices similar to recent models. Apple has also unveiled a premium digital watch with a price tag to match.&nbsp;

Apple has debuted iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max featuring the Always-On display, the first-ever 48MP camera on iPhone, crash detection, Emergency SOS via satellite and an innovative new way to receive notifications and activities with the Dynamic Island.&nbsp;

Ever since it was announced, people are curious about the Emergency SOS via satellite feature. As quoted by news agency Reuters, Bob O'Donnell, a technalysis researcher, said, "Well I think the biggest news for me was the release of the satellite service for iPhone 14. There's been rumors about this honestly for about a year and a half. And it wasn't clear whether they were going to actually do it."&nbsp;

"But from that opening video where they showed the satellite in the sky, I was like, okay, I'm pretty sure it's going to come today. And sure enough it did. It's not something that everybody needs," he added.&nbsp;

"But I think it's a thing that everybody would like to have because you never know when you're going to get caught in a particular situation and knowing that you have that safety net to potentially get in contact with someone if you are god forbid stuck, it's a big deal," Bob added.&nbsp;

What do we know about the Emergency SOS service?&nbsp;

The company said that its satellite SOS service will work with emergency responders and in some situations, the users will be able to use its FindMy app to share their location via satellite when they have no other connectivity.&nbsp;

Why Apple's new emergency SOS via satellite service for iPhone 14 is a 'big deal'

Apple launched its latest iPhone series on Wednesday (September 7) with new or improved features. The long-awaited launch revealed what iPhone 14 will bring to the users—Apple has debuted iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.&nbsp;

The latest iPhone series has an improved camera and satellite messaging for emergencies and a new digital identification system to obviate the need for a physical sim card. Apple also unveiled a premium digital watch.&nbsp;

But some users have complaints that during the 90-minute presentation at the company's California headquarters, the company did not include any surprise reveals.&nbsp;

After the launch, people have questions like; How good are the new iPhones? Are they worth the money? Should we upgrade the existing iPhone?&nbsp;

Let's have a look at how good the new iPhones are.

As expected, the new phones come with improved cameras, sharper sensors, faster processors, and a longer-lasting battery.&nbsp;

This time, Apple has even leaned into safety technologies like an “Emergency SOS” function. It will let users request help when they are in remote areas without a wireless connection.&nbsp;

There is also a motion sensor which will be capable to detect serious car crashes and automatically connect to emergency services.&nbsp;

Safety as a service is interesting as a value proposition, but is it enough to attract potential buyers?&nbsp;

Santosh Rao, a technology analyst said, "It's good to have all these features, but it's not enough to just kind of drop everything and go out and buy a new phone yet."&nbsp;

Notably, the iPhone 14 is not a bad phone, but it's underwhelming as, for many years, apple's new iPhones have mostly featured incremental upgrades and this year's models are no exception.&nbsp;

Technology experts believe innovation, that was once considered to be a hallmark of Apple, is missing in the new iPhones and they simply don't have a 'wow' factor.&nbsp;

Apple launches iPhone 14: How good are the new iPhones? Are they worth the money?

Apple’s much-awaited iPhone 14 series was launched officially on Wednesday, with minor, yet most recognisable, tweaks to the Pro and Pro Max versions.

As rumoured widely before the official launch, Apple has ditched its mini version and started with the regular iPhone 14.

Apples has launched the phone in four models— the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

While iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro have smaller screens (6.1 inches and 6.7 inches), the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the ones which have bigger screens.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has called the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max the “most innovative pro lineup yet.”

There is a massive hardware difference between the Pro and non-pro versions of the iPhone.

While iPhone 14 and 14 Pro come with last year's Apple A15 Bionic SoCs, the Pro models are powered by the latest Apple Bionic A16 SoC.

The latest smartphones come with e-sim activation without Wi-Fi in the US. For the first time, the iPhone models in the US will not have a SIM tray.

But, among the most notable feature in all the models of iPhone is the satellite emergency communication technology that can be used to send SOS message over satellite.

The feature will start in US and Canada, and it will be free with iPhone 14 for two years.

iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus prices and specifications

Pricing for the iPhone 14 starts at $799 for 128GB version, just like iPhone 13, and will be available on September 16.

The iPhone 14 Plus, which also comes with 128GB base storage, starts at $899 and is available on October 7. Pre-orders for both models will open on September 9 in US.

In India, the iPhone 14 price in India is set at Rs. 79,900, while the iPhone 14 Plus will be starting at Rs. 89,900.

iPhone 14 features a flat-edge aerospace-grade aluminium frame, with Ceramic Shield material on the front, and IP68 dust and water resistance rating — just like the previous generation.

The phone sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR&nbsp;OLED display which is said to be better in terms of brightness and colour reproduction as compared to last year's handset. Apple said it offers 1200nits peak brightness and support for Dolby Vision.

The features of iPhone 14 Plus are similar to the iPhone 14 except the bigger screen size and battery backup.

The handset has 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and Apple claims that the Plus version has “the best battery life ever in an iPhone”.&nbsp;

Just like the iPhone 13 series, Apple continues to offer the Face ID technology as the only biometric security option to unlock the phone.

For cameras, both devices feature an updated 12-megapixel main lens, with a faster aperture that should lead to better motion capture.

A new video stabilization mode dubbed "action mode," is designed to keep your content smooth even when recording video while moving around.

Both handsets have a 12-megapixel sensor in the front camera which can produce crisp images in low light.

Prices and features of iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max

The iPhone 14 Pro will start at $999, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max starts at $1,099. Both will be available for pre-order on September 9 and available in stores on September 16.

In India, the price of iPhone 14 Pro is set at Rs. 1,29,900, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max will cost Rs. 1,39,900.

It will come out in four colour options—Deep Purple, Gold, Silver, and&nbsp;Space Black colour options.

With regards to hardware, Pro models surgical-grade stainless steel which is said to be abrasion and corrosion-resistant. &nbsp;Both handsets come with Ceramic Shield front cover touted to be tougher than any smartphone glass.

The iPhone 14 Pro comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR Always-On OLED display with Apple's ProMotion refresh rate feature.

Moreover, the Pro models can scale as low as 1Hz in order to provide a combination of smoother motion and power-efficient system.

But the most poignant difference between the pro and non-pro models is the hole-punch in the screen.

Apple has introduced a pill-shaped hole-punch cutout in place of the famous trend-setting notch.

It is calling it Dynamic Island, an "interactive space" that expands for notifications alongside other information such as music player, calling interface, Maps, among others.

The tech company says that the feature works with third-party apps.

Both hands pack Apple's new in-house A16 Bionic SoC which is said to be the most powerful chip in a smartphone.&nbsp;It has two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores.

According to Apple, the new 6-core CPU is claimed to be up to 40 percent faster than the competition. The A16 Bionic SoC also features an accelerated 5-core GPU with a claimed 50 percent more memory bandwidth and a new 16-core Neural Engine capable of nearly 17 trillion operations per second.

The most major boost up is in the camera department. Both models have a new 48-megapixel main camera with&nbsp;second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilisation and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, f/2.8 aperture lens and optical image stabilisation.

The third is a 12-megapixel&nbsp;sensor with f/2.2 aperture ultra-wide angle lens that has 120-degree field-of-view.

The quad-pixel sensor combines four pixels into one pixel for maximum light intake. It also enables a 2x Telephoto option and the new machine learning model allows the iPhone 14 Pro to shoot ProRAW.&nbsp;

Both handsets also have Photonic Engine which is said to offer a better low-light performance — up to 2x on the main camera, up to 3x on the ultra wide camera, up to 2x on the telephoto camera, and up to 2x on the TrueDepth front camera that has&nbsp;12-megapixel sensor and f/1.9 aperture lens.

The iPhone 14 Plus, which also comes with 128GB base storage, starts at $899 and is available on October 7. Pre-orders for both models will open on September 9 in US. In India, the iPhone 14 price in India is set at Rs. 79,900, while the iPhone 14 Plus will be starting at Rs. 89,900. iPhone 14 features a flat-edge aerospace-grade aluminium frame, with Ceramic Shield material on the front, and IP68 dust and water resistance rating — just like the previous generation. The phone sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display which is said to be better in terms of brightness and colour reproduction as compared to last year's handset. Apple said it offers 1200nits peak brightness and support for Dolby Vision. The features of iPhone 14 Plus are similar to the iPhone 14 except the bigger screen size and battery backup. The handset has 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display and Apple claims that the Plus version has “the best battery life ever in an iPhone”. Just like the iPhone 13 series, Apple continues to offer the Face ID technology as the only biometric security option to unlock the phone. For cameras, both devices feature an updated 12-megapixel main lens, with a faster aperture that should lead to better motion capture. A new video stabilization mode dubbed "action mode," is designed to keep your content smooth even when recording video while moving around. Both handsets have a 12-megapixel sensor in the front camera which can produce crisp images in low light. Prices and features of iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max The iPhone 14 Pro will start at $999, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max starts at $1,099. Both will be available for pre-order on September 9 and available in stores on September 16. In India, the price of iPhone 14 Pro is set at Rs. 1,29,900, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max will cost Rs. 1,39,900. It will come out in four colour options—Deep Purple, Gold, Silver, and Space Black colour options. With regards to hardware, Pro models surgical-grade stainless steel which is said to be abrasion and corrosion-resistant. Both handsets come with Ceramic Shield front cover touted to be tougher than any smartphone glass. The iPhone 14 Pro comes with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR Always-On OLED display with Apple's ProMotion refresh rate feature. Moreover, the Pro models can scale as low as 1Hz in order to provide a combination of smoother motion and power-efficient system. But the most poignant difference between the pro and non-pro models is the hole-punch in the screen. Apple has introduced a pill-shaped hole-punch cutout in place of the famous trend-setting notch. It is calling it Dynamic Island, an "interactive space" that expands for notifications alongside other information such as music player, calling interface, Maps, among others. The tech company says that the feature works with third-party apps. Both hands pack Apple's new in-house A16 Bionic SoC which is said to be the most powerful chip in a smartphone. It has two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores. According to Apple, the new 6-core CPU is claimed to be up to 40 percent faster than the competition. The A16 Bionic SoC also features an accelerated 5-core GPU with a claimed 50 percent more memory bandwidth and a new 16-core Neural Engine capable of nearly 17 trillion operations per second. The most major boost up is in the camera department. Both models have a new 48-megapixel main camera with second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilisation and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, f/2.8 aperture lens and optical image stabilisation. The third is a 12-megapixel sensor with f/2.2 aperture ultra-wide angle lens that has 120-degree field-of-view. The quad-pixel sensor combines four pixels into one pixel for maximum light intake. It also enables a 2x Telephoto option and the new machine learning model allows the iPhone 14 Pro to shoot ProRAW. Both handsets also have Photonic Engine which is said to offer a better low-light performance — up to 2x on the main camera, up to 3x on the ultra wide camera, up to 2x on the telephoto camera, and up to 2x on the TrueDepth front camera that has 12-megapixel sensor and f/1.9 aperture lens.

Faster performance & emergency satellite messaging: Here’s everything to know about iPhone 14 series

The tech giant, Apple, unveiled four new iPhone 14 models on Wednesday (September 8). The new generation of iPhones received some criticism for lacking innovation, much like in previous years.

But this year, Eve Jobs, the daughter of the late Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs, added her voice to the chorus of dissent against the new launch of the iPhone 14.

The 24-year-old posted a meme, making fun of the new iPhone 14 by claiming that the company has essentially rehashed older designs with every new generation of iPhones.

Jobs shared a meme of a man holding up a shirt that looked exactly like the one he was already wearing. The caption read out, "Me upgrading from iPhone 13 to iPhone 14 after Apple’s announcement today," Money Control reported.

Apple was co-founded by Steve Jobs, renowned as a visionary, in 1976 in his parent's garage. When he passed away in 2011, Apple became one of the most valuable tech businesses in the world.

Apple's supporters believe that following Steve's demise, innovation in the company slowed down.

The base model of the company's newest smartphone, the iPhone 14, costs nearly $799, while the 14 pro max costs $1,100.

The base 128GB edition of the iPhone 14 costs Rs. 79,900 ($1,002) in India. Furthermore, the customers have to pay Rs. 89,900 ($1,127) for the 1Phone 14 plus 128GB model.
