CTOnews.com, September 14 (Xinhua)-- Apple's iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models will be delivered to customers and launched at Apple Store retail stores on Friday, September 16, and the first reviews of these devices are now available.

Major new features of the iPhone 14 Pro include a Smart Island AOD solid-light display with a new "pill + punch", an upgraded camera with a 4800 megapixel main lens, car accident detection and satellite connectivity for emergencies, faster performance with the A16 bionic chip, and new dark purple and deep space black color options. However, the satellite emergency SOS service will not be launched in the United States and Canada until November, and the Chinese mainland / Hong Kong / Macau regional version does not support this feature.

The only difference between the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max is their 6.1in and 6.7in display size, battery life and device weight, because Pro and Pro Max once again have the same camera system.

Here is a review of the content of iPhone 14 Pro

Smart Island is unique to the iPhone 14 Pro series models and replaces the traditional bangs grooved screen on the iPhone 13 series models. With the help of the software, "pill + punch" will be transformed into different shapes and sizes for incoming calls, alarms, notifications, Face ID authentication, timers, direction-by-direction navigation, real-time activities, etc.

While Smart Island is certainly more useful than bangs on previous iPhone, The Verge's Nilay Patel says the potential of this feature has not yet been fully realized because no third-party applications support Smart Island at the time of release. Once the real-time activity feature is launched later this year, third-party applications will be able to support Smart Island.

"now, Smart Island feels that it will take another year of improvement and developer attention to really bring its power into full play."

Jacob Krol of AOD display The Street said that the new all-weather AOD display of the iPhone 14 Pro did not have a significant impact on battery life during the test:

"from current tests, using the AOD display will not adversely affect the battery life or overall uptime of the iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max. I can still get a full day of moderate use on the iPhone 14 Pro, and the larger iPhone 14 Pro Max can last a day and a half in the same use. Apple highlighted some of the enhancements in the new A16 Bionic, whose core is to operate efficiently for the display."

Raymond Wong of Input, a 4800-megapixel camera, tested the new 4800-megapixel main lens of iPhone 14 Pro and was impressed by the 4800-megapixel ProRAW photos, but said he barely noticed the difference between the 1200-megapixel photos merged in sunlight.

"Apple's ProRAW DNG is a bit disappointing on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro; the 1200-megapixel RAW has little more detail than the 1200-megapixel JPEG. This is not the case with 4800-megapixel ProRAW files; these images are very large (usually between 70 and 80MB) and you can get enough detail on a phone."

Raymond Wong also shared his thoughts on the new dark purple and dark space black options:

"my iPhone 14 Pro evaluator is Deep Sky Black. I like it. The glass back cover and stainless steel frame are significantly darker than the gray graphite iPhone 13 Pro; like a hybrid version of black and dark black iPhone 7. The other iPhone 14 Pro Max evaluator is dark purple; it is a dark purple that sometimes looks gray or black. Both look stylish; both are still fingerprint collectors. You can also buy silver and gold."

The A16 bionic chip Raymond Wong shares the Geekbench 5 run results of the iPhone 14 Pro model, showing an 8.7% improvement in single core performance compared with iPhone 13 Pro. The multicore performance has been improved by 16.4%:

-iPhone 12 Pro: (A14 Biomimetic): single core 1586 / multi core 3937

-iPhone 13 Pro: (A15 Bionic): single core 1725 / multi core 4722

-iPhone 14 Pro: (A16 Biomimetic): single core 1875 / multi core 5495

Joanna Stern of the Wall Street Journal says the iPhone 14 Pro doesn't have much longer battery life than the iPhone 13 Pro:

"in terms of battery life, the iPhone 14 or 14 Pro models I have tried do not have much longer battery life than their predecessors. For the upgraded iPhone 14 Plus, things may be different. Apple says it has" the longest battery life we've ever had "- and then I'll test the 14 Plus battery."

Body size and weight iPhone 14 Pro is 7.85mm in thickness and 206g in weight, while iPhone 14 Pro Max is 7.85mm in thickness and 240g in weight, making it the heaviest iPhone ever.

IPhone 12 Pro: 7.4mm / 187g

IPhone 13 Pro: 7.65mm / 203g

IPhone 14 Pro: 7.85mm / 206g

IPhone 12 Pro Max: 7.4mm / 226g

IPhone 13 Pro Max: 7.65mm / 238g

IPhone 14 Pro Max: 7.85mm / 240g

"Apple iPhone 14 review summary: more like the iPhone 13s, but still a reliable mainstream phone."
