Apple 's iconic bang design, as well as a 12MP camera, have been used for many years.
By 2022, there have been major changes in iPhone.
First of all, from the front face, the bangs that have been used for many years are gone, and we see the Lingdong Island design with interactive functions.
, the Apple A16 processor with the strongest performance, and at the same time, the 12MP main camera that has been used for many years has been upgraded to a 48MP large sensor, supporting the new optical image engine and sports mode. Using iPhone 14 Pro, not only has strong performance and is as smooth as silk, but also has unique video shooting and unparalleled.
iPhone 14 Pro Review Begins:
Appearance Design
A few years ago, Apple launched a new design for the iPhone 12 series, using flat edges and flat displays. It was praised for changing something slightly at the time, and although obviously inspired by the iPhone 4 and 5, it did inject new vitality into the iPhone.
From the appearance, the flat edges of the iPhone 14 Pro now still exist. Although it has no freshness, I still like its minimalist appearance design.
on the back, the device looks basically the same as the previous generation, except that the camera module is slightly larger.
When looking at the front, This is the biggest change in appearance design. For the iPhone 14 Pro, Apple finally got rid of the bangs and replaced it with the cutouts of the front-facing camera and the original depth camera sensor, which Apple calls Lingdong Island.
I definitely prefer this Lingdong Island over bangs. Lingdong Island can vary in shapes and also display application information, which is very interesting to interact with.
display
Last year, Apple made a major upgrade to the display through ProMotion, and the iPhone display continued to get better on the iPhone 14 Pro models.
iPhone 14 Pro still has the high refresh rate of 120Hz we got last year, but now it is able to refresh at a lower frequency, down from 10Hz last year to 1Hz, saving battery while achieving an all-weather display.
screen is bright, colorful and full of vitality. It feels very smooth and easily becomes bright enough to reach up to 2000 nits , and the outdoor sunshine is still clearly visible.
This monitor is made by Samsung and is one of the best monitors on the market. This is a 6.1-inch display with a resolution of 2566 x 1179. It supports Dolby Vision and images taken on devices look great on the screen.
core performance
is different from the basic model. iPhone 14 Pro uses a new A16 chipset. The A16 Bionic is manufactured using a 4nm process and is advanced to the 5nm A15 chip. This essentially helps Apple install more transistors on chips of the same size.
Apple says the A16 chip CPU performance is 40%, and it now has a new display engine to help drive always-on displays, a new image signal processor and higher efficiency.
In daily use, the iPhone 14 Pro performs perfectly. It can handle more tasks at a speed that competitors cannot achieve, load games like " Genshin Impact " relatively quickly, and never get stuck once.
Incredible performance is also shown in the benchmarks, with the iPhone 14 Pro having a single-core score of 1874 on GeekBench 5 and a multi-core score of 5422.
These are excellent results. It not only surpasses its predecessor, but also defeats all Android phones, including flagship devices equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip.
Apple is still the king in terms of smartphone performance, and this situation does not seem to change anytime soon.
Camera
Apple has improved the iPhone's camera in a variety of meaningful ways. For example, for the first time in years, Apple has provided a higher pixel count for the camera, with the main camera on the device reaching 48MP.
main camera is actually the so-called four-pixel sensor. The phone uses light information from four pixels to combine them into one pixel and outputs a 12MP pixel image. The result is that you will get more details and better low-light images.
However, you don't have to always combine four pixels into one. You can enable ProRAW mode, which allows you to output 48MP full resolution photos, so that the photos taken are clearer.
Generally speaking, I found the images taken by the iPhone 14 Pro are excellent. Since the device has a larger sensor, the depth of field is slightly better than the previous generation model. The image is brightly colored and full of vitality, and it beats the vast majority of its competitors. In terms of shooting videos with
, it is Apple's strength. With better anti-shake performance and sports mode than the previous generation, coupled with the new optical image engine technology, using iPhone 14 Pro to shoot videos is very stable and clear, completely defeating all competitors.
battery
One of the biggest concerns about the always-on display is battery life, but so far I'm not disappointed. As a medium user, even if the always-on display is enabled, the iPhone 14 Pro has 30% battery left before the break at 10 pm, which can meet my use needs throughout the day. The charging speed of
20W is indeed a bit slow, and it takes about 98 minutes to fully charge. However, for my charging habits, I can completely ignore the charging speed. Generally speaking, I plug in the charger before going to bed at night and don’t unplug the charger until I wake up the next day. No matter how slow the charging is, it will definitely be full in one night.
In history, an extremely significant leap
Many mobile phone manufacturers like to compare their flagship phones with Apple, but at every press conference, I see them belittle Apple phones, flattering their flagship phones, and leading the way. I believe everyone has heard of these lines.
, but Apple never compares with others, nor does it belittle its competitors. Apple phones have proved with their strength that only the next generation of iPhones can defeat iPhones. Every generation of iPhone is very popular among consumers, and the sales of each generation of iPhone are beyond the reach of its competitors.
This generation of iPhone 14 Pro, with its new Lingdong Island design, A16 chip, high-end display, 48MP main camera, and long-lasting battery life, can be said to be an extremely significant leap in the history of .
