The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are official

A notch for the phone's selfie camera and Face ID sensors are included in the new iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. The 14 Pro models were rumored to lose the notch. The 14 looks similar to the 13 at first glance, with the same flat display and rails. The US models of the phone do away with the physical sim tray.

The 14 Plus has a 6.7-inch screen while the 14 sticks with a 6.1-inch one. The battery life of the 14 Plus is claimed to be the best. Apple has traditionally introduced a new processor to be used by its entire iPhone portfolio every year, but this is the first time that has happened.

There is a new 12-megapixel main camera with f/ 1.5 and sensor-based stabilization. Night Mode is twice as fast as before, and there is a 49% improvement in low light image quality. There is a new TrueDepth camera with a new lens. Apple calls its Deep Fusion image processing technology a "photographic engine." A new stabilization mode called Action Mode is used for video recording.

Inflation is driving the price of everything up, including consumer tech, and household budgets are stretched thin, so the debut of the iPhone 14 is unique. Apple has been called out for not adopting the open standard for messaging. Despite efforts to sell one over the past couple of years, people in the US just don't want a small iPhone It all comes down to an unusual amount of pressure as Apple prepares to show off its new phone.
