Under the cool Lingdong Island of iPhone14Pro and iPhone14ProMax, the attention of iPhone14 this year is obviously not as good as in previous years. The slight upgrade made it complain that it was not sincere as soon as it was released. Is the iPhone 14 really not good? I also want to talk about the experience of this iPhone 14 in my hand. In terms of
size, compared with the previous generation iPhone13, the body thickness of the iPhone14 has increased by 1.5mm and the weight of the body has decreased by 1g. In terms of lens module, the iPhone 14 will become bigger and become more "provoked". Although the protective case of the iPhone 14 can be completely covered with the iPhone 13, the other way around is not.
The exclusive color scheme of iPhone14 is purple, and the saturation will be lower than that of purple on iPhone12 , but compared with the purple of iPhone11, it will look a little brighter and shiny. This is also the second time that Apple uses exclusive colors in the same color scheme on the standard version and Pro version after the new green added to the iPhone 13 series at the spring press conference at the beginning of the year. I am more selfish about the low-saturation color scheme made by Apple. Whether it is the 13Pro long peak blue that was popular last year, the 13 standard version pink, or the purple and blue of the 14 standard version this year, it is all deeply loved by me.
Apple’s accurate “knife method” and users’ high expectations have always been unsolvable problems. If the appearance can be saved with new colors, then this hardware upgrade may be difficult to perceive in the near future. iPhone14 is equipped with the A15 full-blood version chip of the same model as iPhone13 Pro, and GPU has been upgraded from 4 cores to 5 cores. Having said that, the A15 full-blood version is indeed the top processor besides the A16, and it is enough to be played in 2022.
At the same time, in terms of memory, the iPhone 14 has also been upgraded from 4GB to 6GB that is consistent with the Pro version. It also becomes more friendly to daily multitasking and frequent front and back-end switching operations. According to the characteristics of the iPhone, there will not be much problem with smoothness in a few years. The same routine is still the same on the
image. The main camera of iPhone 14 has also been upgraded to the same model as iPhone 13 Pro this year. With the improvement of sensor size and aperture, coupled with the "light image engine" highlighted by this press conference, I guess that the iPhone 14 should be able to show its capabilities in the image this time!
In fact, compared with iPhone13 mini, the sample shots taken by the two can be almost exactly the same in the daytime scene. In addition to the difference in color tone, even if you zoom in and look at the details, the difference is also very small; in the night scene, the iPhone 14 is finally slightly better than the iPhone 13 mini in sample detail, and the noise is relatively small. At the same time, the filming time has been shortened to a certain extent. Therefore, the "light image engine" mentioned by Apple in the press conference can improve the maximum 49% shooting at low light brightness, which is neither the quality of the film nor the speed of the film, but the improvement of the overall photography experience.

In addition, iPhone14 also brings a new "sport mode". The same principle as the sports camera, using a large cropping + algorithm, combined with the iPhone's excellent anti-shake ability on the video shooting end and the weight of the iPhone 14172g, it can really make a shooting effect similar to a gimbal while only holding it.
It is worth mentioning that although both sports modes support main camera and ultra-wide-angle use, the system will automatically switch to the ultra-wide-angle lens after turning on the sports mode. Moreover, due to the high shutter speed, the image quality of the preview interface will be significantly reduced, and sufficient light needs to be maintained to support shooting.

In other aspects, of course, this year's iPhone 14 has not yet waited for the Type-C interface, so the charging speed will still be the same, 20W or above, but the peak of the whole process is only 30W, and you can almost finish watching a movie with a hundred fullness.
. iOS16, which was released earlier on WWDC22, will also be directly installed in iPhone 14. The new iOS16 new features such as new lock screen wallpaper, battery percentage, and one-click cutout can all unlock
html on iPhone 14 100% on iPhone 14. Overall, this year's iPhone 14 has roughly the following improvements.In terms of hardware, the processor has been upgraded to the A15 full-blood version of the same model as 13Pro, and the main camera has been upgraded to a larger-sized lens of the same model as 13Pro. At the same time, the internal cooling structure has been optimized. The front lens now supports automatic focus. In terms of software, a new optical image engine and sports mode are brought, and the movie mode has also been upgraded to 4K30fpsHDR. Of course, there are also satellite connection and accident detection functions used in emergencies. It is true that the pace of iPhone is released every year, so users will always have full expectations for the new iPhone. Especially after "Thirteen Fragrance", it is understandable that users have higher requirements for iPhone 14. But the iPhone 14 is not so unbearable! Under the dual pressure of cost and production capacity, it can still maintain the same starting price as the iPhone 13, which is not easy! Of course, iPhone 14 can also be better equipped with configurations such as A16, 48 million main camera, LTPO, etc., but the starting price will also be relatively increased. Will you still be willing to buy it at this time? Although the configuration of
iPhone 14 has been compromised, it has also compromised on the starting price. At least in the mainstream price range of 5,000 yuan, most users can still leave the iPhone 14 as the "guaranteed choice". And the fourteenth fragrance is still not fragrant, so we might as well leave it to the market to decide.
