Oh, and there’s a spectacularly good always-on display, as well. It’s taken the least-loved part of recent iPhones – that is, the cut-out at the top of the screen where the Face ID sensor sits – and has created an information source that moves on demand. No, you can’t visit it, but it’s an intrinsic part of the new pro handsets. The second upgrade is something called Dynamic Island. Instead of three 12MP cameras, the iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14 pro max have two 12MP cameras, plus – and this is a first for the iPhone – one camera with a 48MP sensor. Then there’s satellite connectivity (cool, huh?) which, from November – though only in the USA and Canada at first – will mean that if you have an emergency outdoors, away from cellular connection, you can send a text message to emergency services.Īll these updates are in the iPhone 14 pro models, too, but for the really big differences, you need a pro. The latter is a safety innovation – if, heaven forbid, you’re in a car crash, the new accelerometer in the iPhone will recognise what’s happened and automatically dial emergency services. The iPhone 14 has plenty of upgrades, such as a new front camera with autofocus included for the first time, and crash detection. This model, which doesn’t go on sale until Friday 7 October, has a screen as big as the pro max but for a much lower price.

There are four new iPhones for 2022: the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14 pro max are joined by a different model, the iPhone 14 plus.

I have reviewed all the new models, but here we share our thoughts on the iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14 pro max. The new iPhones are here and I’ve been testing them since just after they were announced last week.
