Today's the day.
Apple is launching four models of the iPhone 14, although you could think of them as two models that each come in two sizes: the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The newcomer in that lineup is the iPhone 14 Plus, which is effectively a larger version of the standard iPhone 14 in the same way that the iPhone 14 Pro Max is a larger version of the iPhone 14 Pro.
A lot of the rumours we heard about the Pros have turned out to be completely on the ball, and many people will be happy to see that the iPhone 14 Pro drops the much-maligned selfie-camera notch. That doesn't mean it's a completely flawless screen. Instead, there's a pill-shaped cutout that Apple's technically referring to as a 'Dynamic Island' . This area can expand to show alerts and background activity.
Other than that, the main improvements are in the camera and battery life. Apple's claiming up to 20 hours of video playback on the iPhone 14 and up to 26 hours on the iPhone 14 Plus. That would be the best battery life on an iPhone yet .Other new features include the much-rumoured satellite connectivity. Emergency SOS with Satellite lets you call for emergency help when you don't have a mobile signal – which could be a lifesaver for people in very rural areas.
Apple's introduced some new tech wizardry across the range, which it's calling a Photonic Engine. This should make low-light performance even better than before, with a claimed 2x improvement on the front camera and the ultra-wide and 2.5 x on the main camera. Video gets an upgrade too with an advanced stabilisation mode called Action mode, which can be toggled on for to make video smoother when you're moving.As we expected, we get a notable camera upgrade on the Pros too.
