Design and Build

The 14 Pro iPhone is built with a premium, sturdy design that is equipped with a surgical-grade stainless steel frame, a Ceramic Shield front, and a textured matte glass back that is also an anti-fingerprint feature. The dimensions of 5.81 x 2.81 x 0.31 inches (147.5 x 71.5 x 7.85 mm) and a weight of 7.27 ounces (206g) make it a lot handier and lighter than the Pro Max, letting you use it comfortably with one hand. The phone is available in four chic colors, namely Space Black, Silver, Gold, and Deep Purple. Furthermore, it now boasts the Dynamic Island that replaces the notch for an interactive and more playful front screen. Also, it is still equipped with a Lightning port, while in the U.S., it does not have a physical SIM card slot, and so dual eSIM technology is being used.

• Surgical-grade stainless steel frame
• Ceramic Shield front (tougher than any smartphone glass)
• Textured matte glass back for fingerprint resistance
• IP68 rating (water and dust resistance up to 6 meters for 30 minutes)
• Dynamic Island (replaces notch, interactive UI element)
• Lightning port for charging and data transfer
• No physical SIM card slot (dual eSIM in U.S.)

iPhone 14 Pro Display

The 14 Pro iPhone MicroLED Technology is the first phone to feature the 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, which will now come in an even higher resolution, reaching 3072 x 1440 pixels (460 PPI). The new display technology will make the screen brighter and more vibrant than ever. The Dynamic Island serves as the display's primary and Android writing surface, that is, the solid area in which the hardware inputs or outputs are present. It comes with an innovative solution that allows it to provide the highest 1000 nits for the most typical situation, 1600 nits of peak brightness in the case of HDR, and a whopping 2000 nits of brightness when used outside, which is rare, but still, it indicates its excellent visibility in very bright light.

• 6.1-inch OLED (Super Retina XDR)
• 2556 x 1179 resolution, 460 PPI
• HDR10 and Dolby Vision support
• 1000 nits (typical), 1600 nits (HDR), 2000 nits (peak outdoor)
• Ceramic Shield protection
• 120Hz ProMotion (1Hz–120Hz, Always-On Display)

Performance and Software

Featuring the 4nm process, the A16 Bionic chip of the iPhone 14 Pro ensures industry-leading performance along with phenomenal power efficiency. The chip is equipped with a 6-core CPU, a 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine in conjunction with 6GB of RAM that uses LPDDR5 technology. The options in the storage variant include 128GB ($999), 256GB ($1099), 512GB ($1299), or 1TB ($1499). Not to forget that in fact, the device is able to support well, such as the simultaneous execution of multiple significant real-time tasks, gaming, and AI-driven tasks like computational photography. The handset runs on iOS 16, with a possibility of an upgrade to iOS 18, hence, it also has an Always-on display that uses its 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate supported by LTPO technology to optimally regulate the brightness of the screen from 1Hz–120Hz, enabling power-efficient notifications.

• A16 Bionic chip with 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine
• 6GB LPDDR5 RAM
• Storage: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB
• iOS 16 (upgradable to iOS 18)
• Optimized for gaming and computational photography

The A16 Bionic provides a 10–20% performance boost over the A15, with reviewers lauding its speed for AAA games and video editing. Some users note minor heating during intensive tasks, potentially tied to software optimization or the Always-On Display, but performance remains stellar.

Camera System

The iPhone 14 Pro covers a trio-camera system: a 48MP Main (f/1.78, 24mm, sensor-shift OIS), a 12MP Ultra Wide (f/2.2, 13mm, 120° FOV), and a 12MP 3x Telephoto (f/2.8, 77mm). The 48MP sensor is capable of pixel binning, so you can take detailed 12MP photos or ProRAW 48MP for pros. Also, the 12MP front camera (f/1.9) features autofocus and Face ID. Besides, the new features in video capture are 4K Dolby Vision at 60 fps, Cinematic Mode (4 K 30 fps), and Action Mode, for video production even if you are not a professional (Stabilized 2.8K video). What's more, the innovative True Tone flash improves low-light photography.

• Rear: 48MP Main (24mm, f/1.78, OIS), 12MP Ultra Wide (13mm, f/2.2), 12MP 3x Telephoto (77mm, f/2.8)
• Front: 12MP TrueDepth (f/1.9, autofocus)
• Video: 4K Dolby Vision 60 fps, Action Mode (2.8K 60 fps), Cinematic Mode (4K 30 fps)
• Modes: Night mode, Portrait, Photographic Styles, Macro, ProRAW
• Adaptive True Tone flash (2x brighter)

Battery and Charging

The iPhone 14 Pro is equipped with a 3200mAh battery that can last up to 23 hours of video playback. Nevertheless, real-world tests have shown that mixed-use can be up to 16–18 hours. The phone has 20W wired charging (50% in 30 minutes), 15W MagSafe, and 7.5W Qi wireless charging. The box lacks a charger; it comes only with a Lightning cable. The battery life is a little less than that of the Pro Max because the latter has a smaller capacity, but it still can easily hold one day of moderate use, and the Always-On Display could slightly decrease the usage time.

• 3200mAh battery
• Up to 23 hours video playback, ~16–18 hours real-world
• 20W wired charging (50% in 30 min)
• 15W MagSafe, 7.5W Qi wireless charging
• No charger included (Lightning cable only)

Connectivity

The iPhone 14 Pro is powered by a Qualcomm 5G modem X65 that can operate both sub-6 GHz 5G and mmWave 5G (U.S. only), thus ensuring fast downloads where conditions are ideal. Also, it is featured with Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3, and dual eSIM (no physical SIM in the U.S.). The U1 ultra-wideband chip is available for Precision Finding when AirTags are used. Satellite connectivity for Emergency SOS, which has become operational since November 2022, is free for two years and can transmit messages even in places with no coverage. GPS is compatible with multiple systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, BeiDou).
