First talk about the upgrade points of iPhone 14 Pro: the screen is changed to a pill screen, which has higher recognition; in 2000, the 12-megapixel main camera was upgraded to a 48-megapixel main camera, which has stronger image shooting; the processor is upgraded to A16, which has better energy consumption. Other hardware is small upgrades, without any special highlights.
It is undeniable that iPhone 14 Pro is a flagship model. For example, the A16 chip is even two generations ahead of Android. But next I want to say that the iPhone 14 Pro has several fatal flaws. If you want a better experience from this model, then this post may be a dissuasion strategy.
Refutation 1: The price is nearly 10,000 yuan, after all, it is a luxury product.
Still remember the starting price of iPhone 13 Pro is 7999 yuan (128GB version). Although it is much more expensive than Android flagship phones, it is acceptable to grit your teeth. This time, iPhone 14 Pro has to sigh that Cook is a shrewd businessman. He cut off the 128GB version and started selling it from the 256GB version; then the price of iPhone 14 Pro is raised to 9,899 yuan through buffs such as large upgrades and shortage of A16 chips! Although
may also be a smoke bomb released by Apple, the actual final price will be appropriately reduced to make everyone happy, but the starting price will not be lower than 8,999 yuan! Rich and well-done, you can definitely choose the iPhone 14 Pro! But if you are not wealthy, there is no need to force yourself on the iPhone 14 Pro. After all, there are only a few apps you use every day, and the experience will not widen the qualitative gap (unless you want to show off).
rejects 2: It is still the lightning interface.
If you are used to iPhone, you may not think that the Lightning interface is a kind of persuasion. However, I think it is a drawback to still equip the Lightning interface on models worth nearly 10,000 yuan. Even the high-end strength of the iPhone 14 Pro is greatly reduced. Let’s talk about the defects of lightning first. First, the charging speed is slow. After all, the previous generations of iPhones did not have fast charging, and the iPhone 14 Pro can actually tolerate more than an hour of charging. But another drawback is that the transmission speed is slow, which directly makes upgrading the camera of the iPhone 14 Pro cumbersome. Knowing that the iPhone 14 Pro has 48 million pixels, it supports 8K video shooting, and the space occupied by photos and videos has increased dramatically. If you want to pull them into a computer for batch processing, lightning transmission speeds may make you wait for a long time. Neither WiFi transmission nor Apple’s airdrops will save much time. (Note: It takes about 1 minute and 30 seconds for Apple to send 200MB files through airdrop)
Simply put, if you buy iPhone 14 Pro because of 48 million pixels and 8K videos, due to the drag of the Lightning interface, you can only play and cannot form extremely high productivity.

In addition, iPhone 14 Pro will continue to use Qualcomm's 5G baseband, and the network signal will not be greatly improved. At the same time, although the A16 chip has been upgraded in terms of energy consumption, the A15 chip's energy consumption ratio is already very excellent, so the experience will not be greatly improved. Furthermore, the iPhone 14 Pro does not have any heat dissipation, and the gaming experience is relatively barely good.
