Apple never disappoints when releasing their brand new annual version of the iPhone, and 2022 has been no different by providing us with the iPhone 14.
The new iPhone 14, Pro, and Pro Max have been available since September 16, 2022 and the iPhone 14 Plus was launched on October 7, 2022. Apple has really outdone themselves by creating an iPhone that comes in different colors, sizes, and upgrades that previous iPhones do not have.
The regular iPhone 14 has 6.1 inch OLED screen and the iPhone 14 Plus has a 6.7 inch OLED screen. The models iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are available in Midnight, Purple, Starlight, PRODUCT Red, and Blue. The bigger models iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max come in Deep Purple, Gold, Silver, and Space Black.
An upgrade that came with the iPhone 14 is the front camera changed to autofocus compared to the fixed focus. This added feature will make your selfies look incredible. Adding on to the camera and video features, the new Action Mode is able to provide a smoother stabilization when you take videos. To make things even better, there is now a display that provides twice as much brightness in the sun compared to past iPhones. This display is called the Super Retina XDR. It even has a 65% larger camera sensor than other iPhones.
“The cameras are way better this year and the screen is pretty bright, so I can read it better outside,” said sophomore student Dheeraj Koppu.
This new iPhone has not only brought new camera upgrades, but also a few safety precautions. This phone now includes an emergency SOS via satellite which could reach emergency services at any time. This includes the moments that you do not have a Wi-Fi connection or cell service. Another great tool that could be useful at any time is the brand new Crash Detection that can detect when you have been in a severe car crash. This gadget would then proceed to call emergency services and tell the people you have listed your emergency contacts where you are.
Apple has even extended the battery life of this new iPhone model. It lasts 29 hours when video playback is used on the iPhone 14 Plus and 26 hours when video playback is used on the iPhone 14. The iPhone 13’s battery only lasted up to 19 hours of video playback, so if battery life is crucial in your daily life you should definitely consider purchasing the brand new iPhone.
This new model is very promising and has been purchased all over the world due to its amazing upgrades. It fits every person’s personality and can be customized to everyone’s liking. The new iPhone 14will be a good investment and satisfy the needs of the person who purchased it.

I enjoy how this article goes into depth detail into reviewing the details of the new Iphone 14. I agree with many of the statements and understand the statistics although I don’t think that its worth my money if I could just get a Iphone 13

I enjoyed the review on the iPhone 14, like how it can help you when injured. It is really cool that emergency SOS doesn’t have to connect to WiFi or need data. They should have more than one source available. How is the iPhone 14 different speed-wise than other iPhones? They need more opinions on people that have the iPhone 14 and others that have other types of iPhones. Then compare the differences.

The article was great, although I probably would have talked about the new Dynamic Island on the pro models, as it was never mentioned. Also, when talking about the displays, the normal 14 and 14 pro both have a screen size of 6.1 inches, and the 14 plus and 14 pro max both have a screen size of 6.7 inches.
The normal 14 isn’t really worth it compared to the very similar iPhone 13.

I like how this article has a lot of information about the new phone. I taught me a lot and helped me figure out if I want one or not.

I liked this article because it gives people plenty of information about the new phone and if it is worth the price. Another reason I liked this article is because it shares a different topic besides school.

I think this is a great and informative article about Apple’s newest iPhone model. The iPhone 14 does have some great features older models don’t have I think I’ll stick to my iPhone 13 unless the 14 has more storage.

I enjoyed the review, and it gave me more information about the phone than I previously had, but I think the battery life segment could have had more information, as it only focused on video playback instead of texting or calling.

I liked how they included some specs and in my opinion they should add more specs and some more user’s opinion

Cool article but the iPhone 14 is almost no different at all from the past 2-3 that have come out before it so I think its creation was useless.

It was a informative article. But iPhone price is very expensive regardless of the advantages. I would rather use Samsung/Ndroid.
