Display and Design

The iPhone 14 Pro is a premium smartphone with outstanding features and aesthetics. It looks and feels excellent in the hand. The handset’s body is made of Glass front (Gorilla Glass), glass back (Gorilla Glass), and stainless-steel frame. The materials used to manufacture the device are pretty heavy, hence its weight (206g). At 6.1-inches, iPhone 14 Pro is a modestly big display, for an iPhone device. Experience a bright display on the device at 1,000 nits (typ) and 2,000 nits (HBM). Such high brightness is awesome when watching movies and playing games, giving you the best experience ever. The brightness of the devices is aided by the LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED, 120Hz, HDR10, Dolby Vision display type installed on it. With a high resolution of 1179 x 2556 pixels, a 19.5:9 ratio (~460 ppi density), and a refresh rate of 120Hz, you surely get value for your money when you lay your hand on the premium handset. Protecting the bright display is a Scratch-resistant ceramic glass, oleophobic coating, which (is always on display).

Dynamic Island: An Interactive User Experience

The Dynamic Island enables new ways to interact with iPhone, featuring a design that blends the line between hardware and software, adapting in real-time to show important alerts, notifications, and activities. With the introduction of the Dynamic Island, the TrueDepth camera has been redesigned to take up less of the display area. Without impeding content on the screen, the Dynamic Island maintains an active state to allow users easier access to controls with a simple tap-and-hold. Ongoing background activities like Maps, Music, or a timer remain visible and interactive, and third-party apps in iOS 16 that provide information like sports scores and ride-sharing with Live Activities can take advantage of the Dynamic Island.

Performance

Processing Power

Apple put as much emphasis on the performance of their devices as they put on the body build and aesthetics. The iPhone 14 Pro is a heavyweight in terms of performance, considering its technical specifications. It runs on Apple’s latest OS, iOS 16 which comes along with the latest software upgrades, applications, and an improved user interface.

The A16 Bionic Chip in the iPhone 14 Pro is generations ahead of the competition and unlocks unparalleled experiences like the Dynamic Island, powers all-day battery life, and delivers impressive computational photography capabilities. With two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, the new 6-core CPU is up to 40 percent faster than the competition and easily handles demanding workloads. A16 Bionic features an accelerated 5-core GPU with 50 percent more memory bandwidth — perfect for graphics-intensive games and apps — and a new 16-core Neural Engine capable of nearly 17 trillion operations per second. Using Apple’s best-in-class fusion architecture to combine performance and energy savings, the chip delivers more performance with a fraction of the power compared to the competition. Fundamental to the pro camera system, the A16 Bionic powers incredible computational photography features. The CPU, GPU, Neural Engine, and image signal processor seamlessly work together to support the new camera hardware and perform up to 4 trillion operations per photo.

Battery

A Li-Ion 3200mAh, non-removable (12.38 working hours) battery is installed on the device, enabling you to have longer hours whether talking on the phone, texting, chatting via social media platforms, browsing the internet, live video streaming, or playing your favourite games available on Apple Store. Fast charging is supported through Apple’s wired Type C that fast charges the batter from 0- 50% in 30 min (USB Power Delivery 2.0). It supports MagSafe wireless charging 15W and Qi magnetic fast wireless charging 7.5W.
