iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max Review
Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max may look similar to last year’s iPhone 13 Pro from the back, but don’t let that fool you. It’s the iPhone 14 Pro screen where something weird and wonderful is happening. The iPhone display notch that has featured iPhones with Face ID since the 2017 iPhone X has been replaced with a pill-shaped cutout that houses an updated TrueDepth camera system. This cutout alone will make some people happier than the notch. But the space around the notch, which now displays system alerts and background activities, has become one of my favorite features.
Apple calls it a “Dynamic Island,” and it expands and contracts when you receive calls, as well as to display music playing, timers, and other notifications. I know it’s not the best name, but it really is one of the best features of the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max.
Apple’s new phones will also feature updated cameras, a faster processor, an always-on display and iOS 16, as well as new safety features including collision detection and satellite emergency SOS.
The 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro starts at $999 (£1,099, AU$1,749) and the 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max starts at $1,099 – the same price as the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max 2019. After spending some time with the phones, I think they are worth every penny.
The new Pros come in space black, gold, silver and deep purple, which depending on the lighting, can look like a dull shade of gray or purple. The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max go on sale Friday, September 16 and are currently available for pre-order.
