iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro - Dimensions
Both devices are billed as 6.1-inch smartphones but aren't the same size.
At 5.81 inches long, the iPhone 14 Pro is slightly taller than the Apple iPhone 14 at 5.78 inches. As for width, the roles are reversed, with the iPhone 14 being 2.82 to 2.81 inches larger. These are minor differences that the user will not notice.
Both are 0.31 inches thick. And in terms of weight, the iPhone 14 Pro is 7.27 ounces, slightly heavier than the iPhone 14 at 6.07 ounces.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro – Displays
The first big difference between the models is the screen. Both have 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED displays with HDR support, Wide Color (P3) support, True Tone and Haptic Touch.
The iPhone 14 Pro's display is an always-on design, so you'll see the time and date, as well as widgets you've placed on your lock screen when your iPhone isn't in active use. Unlike the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Pro doesn't need to boot up to show these visible details.
The Pro display is also very bright, with a typical peak brightness of 1,000 nits versus the iPhone 14's 800 nits. Peak brightness for HDR content is also higher on the Pro, from 1,600 nits to 1,200 nits, and the Pro manages 2,000 nits even when used outdoors.
The iPhone 14 Pro's display is not only always on, but also benefits from a few select features. The iPhone 14 remains a standard 60Hz but features a ProMotion adaptive refresh rate that varies up to 120Hz depending on what content you're viewing. Then there's the iPhone 14 notch that contains the TrueDepth camera array. To hide the new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 pro max smaller cutout, the display instead uses Dynamic Island.
Rather than using static notches, dynamic islands are UI features that can be expanded and collapsed to view notification updates, media controls, and other details on the fly. Dynamic Island's design uses a black background, but it does a lot to disguise the existence of cutouts in the first place.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro - Cameras
The iPhone 14 features a typical 12-megapixel camera setup, consisting of a wide-angle camera, now known as the "main camera", and an ultra-wide-angle shooter with optical sensor-shift image stabilization. Some aperture changes and a larger sensor have been made to improve illumination performance, but Apple hasn't done much with the hardware.
It already benefits from an additional 12-megapixel telephoto camera, but the Pro model's triple arrangement also benefits from Apple's decision to eventually increase the resolution of the camera sensor.
The main camera currently uses a 48-megapixel quad-pixel sensor, grouping similarly colored pixels into four groups. This arrangement allows the camera to capture 48-megapixel images and have each quad act as a single large pixel for better low-light capture of 12-megapixel images. With the addition of the third sensor, the iPhone 14 Pro has a maximum optical zoom range of 6x, and ranges from 3x optical zoom in to 2x optical zoom out, while the iPhone 14 has a 2x optical zoom. Yes. Both models feature digital zoom, with the iPhone 14 up to 5x and the Pro up to 15x.
The LiDAR sensor will also return, again to the Pro models.
Both include features such as Deep Fusion, the Photonic Engine, which put Deep Fusion intelligence early in the processing pipeline to improve data storage, photo styles, night mode, and portrait mode with portrait lighting. benefit from.
The Pro also gets support for Night Mode portraits, macros, and Apple ProRAW.
For video, both smartphones can handle 4K video up to 60 fps in HDR, while cinema mode reaches 30 fps in his 4K HDR. Sensor shifts OIS, audio zoom, QuickTake video, 1080p Slo-Mo up to 240 fps, and a time lapse mode are also featured on both models. It also shares a new action mode that adds incredible stability to your footage on the same level as using a gimbal.
The video differences are the same for 2021, with the Pro supporting his ProRes 4K up to 30fps on his 256GB model and 1080p on his 128GB version. It also supports macro video recording such as slow motion and timelapse.
TrueDepth camera is a 12-megapixel shooter, but with an improved f/1.9 aperture for better low-light performance. There's also autofocus this time around, which you'll see on both models. It also features Portrait mode with Photonic Engine and Deep Fusion, Smart HDR 4, Photo Styles, Portrait Lighting, Cinema mode up to 4K HDR 30 fps, 4K HDR up to 60 fps, 120 fps 1080p slow motion etc. is the same throughout. Of course, as always, there's support for Animoji and Memoji.
Aside from the switch from the iPhone 14 Pro's notch to Dynamic Islands, the only real difference with the TrueDepth is that the Pro model can handle his ProRes video at 4K 30fps.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro – Performance
The iPhone 14 shares the same chip as its predecessor, the iPhone 13, but that's not entirely true. Instead, Apple opted to use a slightly tweaked version of his A15 that appeared on the iPhone 13 Pro device. It features 5 GPU cores instead of 4, offering significantly better graphics performance.
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone pro max uses the A16 Bionic and is equipped with a 6-core CPU with 2 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores, which is "40th faster than the competition ". A 5-core GPU improves with a 50% increase in memory bandwidth, and a 16-core neural engine can handle about 17 trillion operations per second.
In terms of raw performance, we can expect the iPhone 14 Pro model to be slightly faster than the standard iPhone 14 - on the order of about 10D.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro - Connectivity
iPhone connectivity is about the same for both models, and most major Beats share similar specs.
Both offer his 5G connectivity in sub-6GHz and mmWave format with 4v4 MIMO and Gigabit LTE. Local connectivity is handled by NFC for Apple Pay, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and Ultra-Wide band for "Find My" searches for AirTag-equipped keys.
Supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and BeiDou, both devices look similar in how they get their location, but the Pro has an accurate dual-frequency GPS.
Both also support Emergency SOS via Satellite, Apple's new security feature, which allows users to send help using satellite-based messages when they are in areas without phone signal.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro - Power
Pro models tended to offer slightly better battery life than non-Pro models, and that continues with the new generation.
Apple claims that the iPhone 14 Pro can manage up to 23 hours of local video playback, compared to 20 hours on the iPhone 14. Pro lasts 20 hours.
However, when it comes to audio playback, the iPhone 14 is better, with the Pro at 80-75 hours. Both models can be charged via Qi and MagSafe wireless charging or via a cable to Lightning connector. It can be charged quickly and can be charged up to 50% in 30 minutes using a 20W or higher adapter.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro - Other Features
iPhone 14 and Pro have an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, meaning they can survive submersion up to 6 meters in water for up to 30 minutes. Both benefit from crash detection, a new feature that uses the iPhone's various sensors to determine if the user has been involved in an accident. After detecting a collision, if the user does not respond, iPhone calls emergency services for help.
