【 Mobile China 】In the technology digital circle, the Apple every year's autumn press conference is called the "Technology Spring Festival Gala", and the new iPhones every year attract the attention of users around the world. Because Apple has strict requirements for media review machines, domestic and foreign cooperative media and dealers have signed confidentiality agreement , and cannot be activated until the specified time, otherwise they will face huge fines.
On September 14, the iPhone 14 series evaluation was lifted, and many media released related reviews, and many domestic media praised the iPhone 14 series. At the same time, foreign media have also released review videos and articles. Everyone must be curious about the views of foreign media on Apple's new phones. Today, Mobile China has summarized the reviews of foreign media for everyone. Which statement do you agree with the most?
Patrick Holland: Lingdong Island is not the best name, but it is definitely one of the best features of the iPhone 14 Pro series
CNET believes that Apple has applied Face ID since iPhone X, and the notch screen has also become popular since then, but it has now been replaced by pill-shaped holes. In itself, the pill screen is more acceptable than the notch screen. One of his favorite features is the hole-punching area displays system alerts and background activities.
Apple calls the hole-punching area "Lingdong Island". This area can be zoomed in/out at will, but when the user answers the call, it will shrink at the top, showing that music playback, timer and other notifications will be zoomed in. Although Lingdong Island may not be the best name, it is indeed the best feature on iPhone 14Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Eli Blumenthal: eSIM may be difficult to implement in the short term, but it is the right direction in the long term
Apple has canceled the physical SIM card slot in the US version of iPhone 14 series. Some people are worried that it will become more difficult to replace operators, but operators such as Mint Mobile, American Mobile and Boost Mobile believe that the opposite is true. "Mint has supported eSIM for nearly two years, and this technology allows users to switch more conveniently and quickly."
CNET believes that all three major U.S. suppliers support eSIM, and some companies such as T-Mobile have even been using this technology to provide free online trials as a way to attract competitor customers. US Mobile has nearly 250,000 users, and one-third of them are currently using eSIM. eSIM may be difficult to implement in the short term, but it is the right direction in the long run.
Mike Wuerthele: The image and battery life of iPhone 14 Pro are balanced
iPhone 14 Pro is equipped with a 48-megapixel wide-angle main camera lens, the sensor supports four-pixel aggregation, and there are also 7P lenses and OIS. Taking pictures is not just about the hardware. The iPhone 14 Pro supports night mode, portrait mode, imaging style, macro and Apple Pro RAW, and can also shoot 4K60fps videos, including 30fps ProRes and 60fps HDR mode. The cutscene mode can also be expanded to 4K 30fps (HDR).
Appleinsider says that the iPhone 14 Pro has a long battery life, playing local videos can last up to 23 hours, streaming videos can be reduced to 20 hours, and audio playback time can be up to 75 hours. Apple said that if you use a 20W or higher power adapter to charge the iPhone 14 Pro, you can charge to 50% of the battery in 30 minutes.
Sareena DayaramLisa Eadicicco: If you want to change the phone, the iPhone 14 Pro is more worth buying
CNET believes that Apple has added the most interesting new features to the iPhone 14 Pro series, including Lingdong Island that replaces the bangs, A16 bionic processor and 48-megapixel main camera. The iPhone 14 series has introduced new features such as car accident detection, eSIM, satellite communications, etc., but in fact, the iPhone 14 is "one of the smallest upgrade models in Apple's history." Although the iPhone 14 has been highly praised, it is not recommended to purchase it. If you are determined to experience the latest models, it is recommended to buy the iPhone 14 Pro series. These two models have obvious changes, such as 120Hz high-brush, Lingdong Island, A16 processor, etc.
For the iPhone 12 series, CNET said that although the iPhone 12 series was released two years ago, it has many similarities with the iPhone 14 series, such as supporting 5G, and compatibility with MagSafe accessories.The iPhone 14 series is not so much a major upgrade, but an update. If your iPhone 12 series is still usable, there is no need to buy the iPhone 14 series.
is written at the end
Starting from iPhone X, Apple has gradually entered the era of full-screen, witnessing the process of other manufacturers from notch screens-lift cameras-hole-punch screens-underscreen cameras, but Apple still insists on notch screens. This year, the iPhone 14 Pro series finally made a decision that violated its "ancestor" - using a hole-punch screen, and the market response was also quite enthusiastic. Based on the hole-punching screen, Apple may have adopted the Lingdong Island design for the first time in order to increase its fun and functionality, but the evaluations on the Internet are seriously polarized.
Many people think that Lingdong Island is a kind of "slipper". After the evaluation was lifted, it was discovered that Lingdong Island is actually a more efficient way of interaction. Although most of the apps that are suitable for Lingdong Island are Apple's own apps, some developers have designed new gameplay for Lingdong Island. I believe that in the near future, Lingdong Island will become the driving force for iPhone users to purchase phones.
