I have been walking with the iPhone 14 Pro for 2 weeks now. We talked about our main impressions separately in our review.
Before that, I had an iPhone 13 Pro all year, I’m cool with the Max version, because I don’t like too big smartphones. It is always believed that a smartphone should be for one hand, and the usual “firmware” with this task.
I have absolutely no regrets about switching from 13 Pro to a new product (I want it to be, rather, on emotions). I will continue to consider my point of view – the assessment of the smartphone should be at least from the iPhone 12, the older model can only be changed on the “hot”, but objectively there was no big jump.
Here are the highlights of the iPhone 14 Pro. Briefly about everything.
1. The Dynamic Island neckline is comfortable
Reaction cutout for any regular application and adding a menu
No matter what anyone says, this cutout is really comfortable. Apple realized that this area of the screen can also be used, like other parts of the display, and not be ashamed and hidden from users and other users.
The disadvantage of a tablet for a smartphone is one of the main advantages.
It is a pity that there are still very few applications that interact with Dynamic Island. However, a function that allows it to convenient to apply. For example, a music player.
On iPhone 13 Pro, I switch tracks with a call Control point or center of life. We read by action: open the menu, switch, close the menu.

Now just hold down the “tablet”, and the player will appear. We consider the action: hold, switch.
Then you can first use your smartphone, as the player will hide on its own. Minus one action.
In the case of switching to the same active application, one inadvertent touch in the DI area is enough, while before it was necessary to open multitasking and go to the program if it was not opened immediately.
There are many laws of phenomena, each has its own characteristics. And exactly Dynamic Island speeds up your iPhone.
In the early days, it seems to me that now using an iPhone with one hand will not be so convenient, since you have to reach for part of the beach. This is not true. Comfort has remained the same.
2. This screen is always on. And he’s very bright
It’s hard to tell from the hot weather as it’s autumn now. However, the maximum screen brightness of the iPhone 14 Pro has been reduced to 2000 nits, and the image on the display is visible even under direct sunlight.
By the way, I can’t say about the cutout that it somehow changes outwardly, how to say, in an undesirable direction, like when lighting is turned out for photographs. There is no such thing live.
The Always-On-Display function has always seemed to me useless and very energy-consuming. For 2 weeks I came to the conclusion that this is not so. AOD consumes minimal energy.
At the same time, I displayed the weather on the screen and at any time I can see the upcoming weather forecast and traffic jams without unlocking the screen. It’s comfortable and looks nice. You can also display other publications from various applications there, which will be distributed over time. In general, there are enough applications.
3. Autonomy is excellent
The purple hull color looks great this year
I wrote a separate article about this. Here I will only recall the main conclusion.
Yes, this iPhone can work on the iPhone 13 Pro, but only without the use of AOD. According to my observations, the difference is up to one hour. The average iPhone lasts about 18 hours on a single charge.
With the included operating time remained at the same level. And it’s great that Apple discovered such an important indicator and had a high autonomy.
4. It doesn’t get hot
After iPhone 13 Pro noticed that This iPhone doesn’t get hot at all..
I noticed this in both the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 13 Pro. Especially during prolonged activity in games or when flashing. The body could heat up to the point that you want to put it on a cold surface as soon as possible.
With the new “firmware” I have never suffered from overheating. Even during heavy benchmark stress tests, it became just warm.
During the same time in Europe, I updated the beta version of iOS 16.1 – it will not even raise the temperature. The last smartphone has long lowered the brightness.
5. The cameras are great. However, as always
By itself, the block of cameras began to appear more
This is also often mentioned in a separate article, so I won’t sign it too much.
In short, all lenses have improved in aperture ratio, they capture more light and include more details. Due to this, the resulting image becomes clearer and an increased amount of information about the frame is found in itself.
Finally lined up white balance. The images look almost the same as I see them with my own eyes.
For those who are engaged in professional photography, a new camera resolution on 48 MP. Due to it, you can crop pictures without losing quality. And this is a real fact – the image of the zoom remains just as clear.
And the video has moved to a qualitatively new level for a new generation pool, which reduces any shaking to a minimum. True, it requires a lot of light. But during the day it’s not a problem.
Worth an update, but not for everyone
The most desired update will be an update for iPhone 12 owners (especially on battery parts), 11 and below. It’s a nice leap forward that can offer a lot of new features and a better user experience.
For those who don’t like the 6.1-inch screen, there’s a Max version with a 6.7-inch display. This is the same “bug”, but with a large number of cases and a capacious battery that lasts for two days.
PS You can buy iPhone 14 Pro in re:Store. Many models are in stock in Russia, and you can place a pre-order in the warehouse. re:Store consultants will help you learn and set up eSIM for free.
