Apple made other improvements such as the new 48MP camera sensor that is 65% larger than the previous model for better lowlight performance. You also get a set of 12MP cameras for telephoto and ultrawide shots.

These phones also feature thinner bezels compared to the base models, as well as the Super Retina XDR display, which Apple says can reach upto 2,000 nits of peak brightness. In addition, the Pro models come with an always-on display feature, which allows the screen to dim and go down to as little as a 1Hz refresh rate.

No more SIM cards

Apple didn’t make a big deal about it, but we learned that the iPhone 14 won’t support SIM cards in the U.S., instead using eSIM technology. eSIMs are virtual SIM cards that have been optional in phones for several years, but Apple is forcing it on the rest of the market by to killing off SIM cards with the launch of the iPhone 14.

Dynamic Island

The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max no longer have a notch and instead come with a small pill-shaped cutout that Apple is calling Dynamic Island. Apple says it’s meant to make the marriage between software and hardware more seamless, and it acts as a small hub for your background apps.

You can access several controls with Dynamic Island, like answering calls, checking on sports scores, and tracking the progress of ride-sharing services. It may not be extremely revolutionary, but Dynamic Island seems like a key feature of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max that makes multi-tasking much easier.

Satellite Connection

The new iPhone 14 will come with a feature that allows people to send emergency SOS messages by use of satellites. Here’s how it works: To connect to a satellite, you’ll be asked to point your phone at a specific part of the clear sky. Because the bandwidth is so limited, sending even text messages can be extremely difficult. In turn, you’re basically instructed to send a canned message that describes the nature of your emergency.

Like the new Apple Watch, the iPhone 14 will include a crash detection feature. You’ll also be able to use the Find My app to share your location via satellite if you’re far off road. The feature will become available in the United States and Canada in November, and iPhone customers will be able to use it free for two years.
