Just in the early morning of this year, the highly anticipated iPhone 14 series models were officially released, which is consistent with previous speculations. The iPhone 14 series is divided into four models - iPhone 14, iPhone 14Plus, iPhone 14Pro and iPhone 14ProMax, which canceled the small-screen version of iPhone MINI. Except for the different naming methods, the others are completely consistent with previous revelations.

This article will provide a comprehensive summary and analysis of the iPhone 14 series.

1. Pills replace bangs and become the design gene for apple in the next few years.

iPhone14Pro and iPhone14ProMax have enabled a brand new design called "dynamic island" by Apple, which is commonly known as "pill hole digging", which is a certain difference from the previously rumored exclamation mark screen.

But what is interesting is that according to the review video of foreign media bloggers on site, the "pill screen" area of the iPhone 14 Pro series can be adjusted in length and status according to the different status of the user, using different software. As shown in the figure below: When connecting the headphones, it will become like this:

When chatting, it will become like this:

Simply put, there is a certain reason why Apple calls it "dynamic island". This gap is given more functions and playability by Apple. Through the cooperation of application notifications at the software level, a gap in the physical level is perfectly covered up, and overall it looks relatively coordinated.

2. The introduction of a new dark purple color scheme is the main color scheme this year.

The main color of the iPhone 14 generation is purple. As shown in the picture above, the purple color of iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus is lavender, and it even looks like pink if you don’t look closely. The purple color of iPhone14Pro and iPhone14ProMAX is dark purple. As for the blue sky peak, it was cancelled.

3 and iPhone14 support satellite SOS emergency contact function,

iPhone14 series supports satellite SOS emergency contact function, , but currently, like Huawei Mate50, only supports the sending of information in the form of short messages. The overall function of

is almost exactly the same as the satellite communication function of Huawei Mate50. In the open area outside, where the sky can be seen, you can send text information and your own location information to a mobile phone number through satellites. Currently, it does not support more advanced functions such as answering calls and surfing the Internet.

Currently, this function is only enabled in the United States and Canada, and will also be a subsequent fee function. The first two years were a free experience period.

4, iPhone14Pro uses 48MP rear camera as desired, with a sensor area of about 1.3 inches and a pixel area of 2.44um. The second generation lens displacement anti-shake is fully improved in various detailed configurations.

is consistent with the previous information. iPhone14Pro and iPhone14ProMAX used the 48MP ultra-large bottom sensor as they wish, which also supports four-in-one pixels and a unit pixel area of 2.44um.

Based on its highest pixels of 48 million and large pixel area of 2.44um (4 in 1 after) and 1.22um unit pixel area, the area of 's sensor is roughly about 1/1.3 inch.

As a comparison, the 50-megapixel 1/1.28-inch IMX707 equipped with a 50-megapixel 12SPro also has a unit pixel area of 1.22um; the Samsung GN1 sensor equipped on the VIVO X80 series mobile phone, 1/1.3-inch, a total pixel 50 million, and a unit pixel area of 1.2um. The main camera of the new iPhone 14Pro is similar in size to it.

and the iPhone 14 Pro series also uses a brand new 12-megapixel large-sole ultra-wide-angle camera with a 1.4um unit pixel area. The sensor area is estimated to reach about 1/2.2 inch, which is basically close to the size of the IMX586 series sensors that are currently equipped with domestic flagship phones. The iPhone 14 Pro series has finally entered the ranks of dual large-sole cameras.

There is no doubt that the improvement of this year's iPhone14Pro series in static photography will be very obvious.The sample is as follows:

At the same time, the iPhone14Pro series also supports 4K 30-frame video shooting and anti-shake, as well as the flash adjusts power with the focus distance, better optical zoom quality and other details. Overall, the image level has been greatly improved, and can even be called the largest improvement in iPhone history. The improvement of

5 and iPhone14 compared to iPhone13 is not good, and there is no need to change it.

Let me first summarize the important comparison information of iPhone14 compared to iPhone13.

① rear camera uses brand new hardware, and the specific model is unknown. According to convention, iPhone 14 should inherit the 12-megapixel CMOS sensor on iPhone 13 Pro, but the overall change is not much.

② front camera has added autofocus function.

③ battery life has been improved to a certain extent, from playing local videos for 19 hours to 20 hours.

④ has been upgraded from the iPhone 13's residual blood version A15 to the full blood version A15 (5GPU version). As for the previously legendary A15 enhanced version, it does not exist. The

⑤ screen has not been upgraded, and it is still a 2532X1170 resolution and a manual maximum brightness of 800nit. It only supports 60Hz refresh rate.

⑥ has added a car accident warning function and satellite communication. In terms of appearance, except that it is 1.5mm thick and 1 gram lighter, there is no difference in the overall appearance of the other.

Overall, the improvement of the iPhone 14 regular version compared to the iPhone 13 regular version is almost very small. As for whether iPhone 14 has 6G memory, it remains to be verified by subsequent in-depth videos. In short, if you are a user holding iPhone 13, iPhone 14 is not worth buying, so wait for iPhone 15. Compared with A15, the improvement of the

6 and A16 Bionic chips are mostly focused on power consumption, and the performance improvement is not large.

According to the information at Apple's press conference, the newly released A16 processor has a peak power consumption of CPU performance cores reduced by about 20% compared to A15. It adopts TSMC's latest N4P process and has built-in 16 billion transistors. has increased by 1 billion more than A15's 15 billion.

Secondly, A16 still uses 6 Core CPU architecture and 5 Core GPU core. is exactly the same as A15 in terms of specifications. Apple did not promote at the press conference how much improvement the A16 Bionic has compared to the A15 Bionic, which only stated that its CPU is 40% faster than competitors' chips. However, it should be noted that the memory loan of A16 Bionic has increased by 50%, which means that on iPhone 14Pro and ProMAX, Apple uses the latest LPDDR5 memory.

As for how much performance improvement the A16 has compared to A15, it is not known yet. However, according to previous revelations, its CPU performance is expected to be improved by 10%, and GPU performance is expected to be improved by about 15%. The overall power consumption has been reduced to a certain extent, but the amplitude will not be large.

7 and iPhone14Pro series have greatly improved in terms of screen.

iPhone14Pro and ProMax use a new generation of top-level OLED screens. Compared with the iPhone13Pro series, I will summarize the key information:

1. The excitation brightness when playing HDR memory has been increased from 1200nit to 1600nit, and the maximum excitation brightness outdoors can reach 2000nit, which is the highest value that can be achieved by mobile phone screens at present.

2. Supports screen-off display.

3, resolution and PPI have slightly improved. The resolution of iPhone14Pro and ProMAX are both 2769X1290px, which is a certain improvement compared to the 2778X1284px of the iPhone13Pro series, but the amplitude is not large.

8 and iPhone14 are still fast charging.

According to data from Apple's official website, the iPhone 14 series still uses 20W PD fast charging, and the charging efficiency has not improved anyway compared to the iPhone 13. The previously rumored 30W PD fast charging does not seem to be reflected on the iPhone 14.
