iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus.Redefining Innovation and Performance
Apple finally revealed the new iPhone 14 family for the year 2022. The phone family has been a rich source of leaks and rumors for some time, predicting a group of changes and improvements in the device. So, today we will talk in this article about the regular iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, so let’s go.
The design of the two devices is consistent with what the leaks told us. The two phones, unlike the Pro versions, did not come with any updates in the design, and the shape of the phone. The interface is still with a rather large notch similar to the one found in the iPhone 13.
It includes the front camera and biometric sensors, the corners are round, the edges are flat, and in the back, there is a square camera window that includes two lenses with the same distribution as the previous generation, and of course with the Apple logo in the middle.
- Apple has used ceramic on the front for durability and greater resistance to unintended shocks, while the rest of the body is made of glass and the frame surrounding the device is made of aluminum.
- In a strange and surprising move, Apple abandoned the physical eSIM port in the iPhone Pro to use only the electronic eSIM, and fortunately, this will only apply to the American version.
- The global version will continue to support the physical SIM, but we hope that the company will not implement this policy gradually to generalize it to the global versions.

The two phones support water and dust resistance with the IP68 standard, meaning, according to the company, the two phones can withstand for half an hour under a depth of six meters, in addition, of course, to support stereo sound for a stronger and more enjoyable sound experience.
On the right are the power button and the SIM card slot, and on the left are the volume down and volume buttons with the silent mode key. At the bottom, Apple contradicted the rumors that predicted the presence of a Type-C charging port and maintained its Lightning port.
- The dimensions of the iPhone 14 are 14.67 cm long, 7.15 cm wide, 7.80 mm thick, and its weight is 173 grams.
- The dimensions of the iPhone 14 Plus are 16.08 cm long, 7.81 cm wide, 7.80 mm thick, and its weight is 203 grams.
- The screen is the crossroads between the two devices. The iPhone 14 offers a 6.1-inch screen with 2532 x 1170 pixels and a density of 460 pixels per inch.
- As for the iPhone 14 Plus screen, it offers a 6.7-inch screen with a resolution of 2778 x 1284 pixels and a density of 458 pixels per inch.
- The two screens are OLED, meaning the user will enjoy realistic colors and depth of details with wonderful clarity. The high brightness of 1200 lumens also helps in viewing these details.
- Both phones operate on the iOS 16 system, as expected. The new version of Apple's system brings a set of new features and updates so that the user can benefit from the power and efficiency of the hardware.
- Unlike the Pro versions of the family, the two phones came with an old-generation A15 Bionic processor, thus Apple, for the first time, breaks its usual rule of unifying the version’s phones with the same chip.
- Users of the previous iPhone 13 will enjoy the same performance and efficiency as the new generation, with the available storage capacity starting from 128, 256, and 512 GB.
Unleashing the Next Generation. iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus
The improvements and changes are located at the back, where the Apple camera system brought a main lens with the same resolution of 12 megapixels with an aperture of 1.5, but with a larger sensor and more pixels. With this sensor, low-light photography will be improved by 49%.
Night mode is the first, as it will allow for a sufficient amount of light to be polarized, which will make it twice as good as the previous generation, in addition to the ultrawide lens with the same accuracy, with an aperture of 2.4, and there is the possibility of optical zooming twice without compromising the image quality or zooming five times digitally.
- The main camera can also record 4K quality videos at a frequency of up to 60 frames per second, and it can also record slow motion up to 240 frames per second in Full HD resolution.
- On the front, we find a 12-megapixel front camera and 1.9 lens aperture with support for automatic focus. As usual, the company did not reveal the battery capacity of the two devices.
- In contrast, it only revealed that the iPhone 14 can withstand 22 hours in video playback mode and 26 hours with the iPhone 14 Plus.
- Regarding the charging capacity, the two batteries were limited to only a capacity of 20 watts, enabling the user to charge the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus for half an hour.
Recent iPhones, including the iPhone 14, rely on Face ID facial recognition technology as the main means of biometric authentication. The Touch ID fingerprint sensor has been eliminated in most iPhone models starting with the iPhone.
