The release of the iPhone 14 series may be due to the dazzling highlights of the Pro series, which makes people pay more attention to the iPhone 14 Pro. It is undeniable that this year’s iPhone 14 has opened a greater gap with the iPhone 14 Pro, but the price has also opened a gap. Is the iPhone 14 still worth buying?

The iPhone 14 Plus has a large screen and large battery; The iPhone 14 Pro series has more selling points, such as the excellent Smart Island design, all-weather display, 2000 nits high-end display, 48MP camera, and the most powerful Apple A16 processor. The basic iPhone 14 is almost the same as the iPhone 13 in appearance and configuration. So is the iPhone 14 worth buying? After reading the evaluation, you will know.

Appearance design

This year’s iPhone 14 retains almost the same design as its predecessor. The fringe design on the front remains unchanged, but it is smaller than the iPhone 13 series. In addition, the screen frame is more refined, and the aspect ratio is also raised.

The screen is protected by advanced ceramic shielding glass. This year’s button design has not changed. The rear camera cluster still adopts the convex diagonal design similar to the previous generation.

In terms of appearance, there are not many design changes. However, two new colors have been added to the iPhone 14: blue and purple. We can use these two colors to distinguish it from the iPhone 13. In order to avoid buying a new mobile phone, others think you are using an old model.

Display

The iPhone 14 is equipped with a hyperretinal XDR display with 2532 x 1170 pixels, a primary color display, and 1200 nits peak brightness.

Apple has not yet equipped the new all-weather display function on the 14 and 14 Plus models, which is only applicable to the Pro and Pro Max series.

This year, the screen of the iPhone 14 series still only supports 60Hz refresh rate. The fringe gap on the screen is more compact than that of the previous generation, and the screen share has increased slightly.

The display quality of the iPhone 14 is still slightly better than that of the previous iPhone 13. Make sure to display an extremely clear image and move every detail of every frame clearly.

Camera

The camera configuration of iPhone 14 has not changed compared with the previous generation. It is still equipped with a 12MP main lens, a 12MP ultra wide-angle lens, and a 12MP front camera (aperture is f/1.9).

According to the parameters, there seems to be no change, but the internal sensors of iPhone 14 belong to the previous high-end Pro series. The main camera has a larger sensor and a larger aperture, which can capture more light and take more delicate photos.

The aperture of the front camera has also become larger, and it also has the autofocus function. When taking a selfie, you can not only focus on a single image quickly, but also focus on multiple people. When playing selfie with friends, everyone is the focus, and the selfie photos are very clear and beautiful.

More than that, the iPhone 14 also introduces a new light image engine technology, which is more accurate in algorithm. In addition to the new motion mode, the anti-shake performance is further improved. The picture of taking pictures and videos is extremely stable, comparable to a hand-held PTZ.

Core performance

Perhaps the most unsatisfying thing for Apple Fans is that this year’s 14 and 14 Plus series still use the previous generation of A15 bionic chip.

But don’t worry, because the iPhone 14 uses the 5-core GPU A15 chip of last year’s Pro series, combined with Apple’s latest iOS 16 operating system, which can handle all heavy tasks gently. The performance of the game is particularly outstanding.

This A15 chip is directly taken from the Pro series and has a very high CPU frequency. The graphics processing core is also superior to its predecessor. At the same time, this year’s A15 chipset with 6 GB of memory has significantly improved its performance compared with the previous generation and is far ahead of the competitors.

Battery life

Apple did not release the battery capacity, but according to the information disclosed, the battery capacity of iPhone 14 has slightly increased to 3279mAh compared with the previous generation’s 3227mAh battery.

In terms of battery life, users need not worry too much. With the high energy efficiency of A15 Pro chip and the extreme optimization of iOS 16 system software, the compact iPhone 14 still has a good endurance performance.

According to Apple, the iPhone 14 can play video for 20 hours in a single charge, an increase of 1 hour compared with the previous generation.

Conclusions

In general, although the iPhone 14 has not changed much compared with the previous generation, it can be said to be a relatively small iterative update. However, the iPhone 14 has made improvements in some areas, such as two new color combinations, a larger camera aperture, more accurate image algorithms, and improved core performance and battery life compared with the previous generation.

If you are an iPhone 13 or iPhone 12 user, I suggest you purchase the 14 Pro series. But if you are a user of iPhone 11 and older models, or a friend who has never used an iPhone, I think iPhone 14 is worth buying.
