After unveiling the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, Apple moved to showcasing its refreshed Pro range of smartphones today. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max come with new cameras, a new notch design, and a new chipset.
You can also contact emergency services via satellite if you find yourself 'off the grid' but under "light foliage" or in direct view of a satellite. This service will debut in the US and Canada only in November, and will be free for the first two years.
The main visual change you'll notice is the pill-shaped cutout at the top of the screen. It's smaller than the older notch, and this was enabled by the fact that the cameras inside are now 30% smaller. The proximity sensor has also moved under-display to help. Apple of course couldn't help name the cutout: Dynamic Island is how it's called. Apple is playing with black pixels around the actual cutout to create some dynamic effects. The space around the cutout changes to allow easier access to controls for ongoing background activities like Maps or Music or a timer. Third party apps can take advantage of this area too - for example, you could get sports scores on there.
The display itself, 6.1" on the Pro and 6.7" on the Pro Max, is now brighter, up to 2,000 nits peak for HDR content, and has a new controller that supports refresh rates as low as 1Hz. This means Always-On Display is finally available on an Apple product, exclusive to these Pro phones. The time, widgets, and Live Activities will be visible at a glance on this Always-On Display.
