iPhone 14 Pro – worth the extra cost?

iPhone 14 Pro makes Apple fans in Singapore happy

Apple has now split its flagship iPhone into two product lines; the standard version and the Pro version. There is also a standard version and a more luxurious version. How does the iPhone 14 Pro differ from the standard iPhone 14?

More modern processor of the iPhone 14 Pro

Until the iPhone 13, all iPhones with the same version number had the same chip, that has now changed. For example, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14+ have the same A15 Bionic chip as the predecessor iPhone 13. However, both Pro models, Pro and Pro Max, are equipped with the most modern A16 Bionic chip. In itself, this makes both base models still smartphones to envy, but it’s clear that Apple has put more love into the Pro model than before.

Camera work

The second major difference is that in the cameras. In addition to the 12-megapixel TrueDepth camera with autofocus on the front and the 12-megapixel ultrawide on the back that the cheaper brother also has, the iPhone 14 Pro has a 48-megapixel main camera (where the base model has to make do with 12 MP) and the 12-megapixel camera. megapixel telephoto lens. The colors are also a bit more chic with gold, silver, deep black and deep purple than those of the basic model.

A further upgrade of the Pro model is the zoom lens. the Pro can both zoom in and zoom out, where the difference between the maximum zoom in and the maximum zoom out is a factor of six. This is complemented by digital zoom, with the Pro version outperforming the standard version by five times by 15 times. The Lidar sensor also returns in the Pro. In terms of video, the Pro variant is slightly better than the standard, but the differences are not very big.

Screen

The screen of the iPhone 14 Pro also shows important differences. Although the resolution is about the same as the well-known 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR with Face ID, the brightness of the screen is much higher with the Pro model, up to 2000 nits. That means that you will have no problems reading it in bright sunlight, where this is probably a lot more difficult with the standard model, which reaches a maximum of 1200 nits.

Connectivity

In terms of connectivity, the two devices do not differ much. Both the iPhone 14 Pro and the standard sister have 5G (Sub-6GHz and mmWave), Gigabit-class LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 and Satellite Communication, which you’ll be especially happy with in an emergency. Because you can now ask for help anywhere in the world.

Satellite communication is perhaps the most striking innovation within the iPhone 14 generation.

Conclusion iPhone 14 Pro

Of the two phones, the Pro model is clearly much more, or rather improved at all, compared to the standard model. Apart from the design, that standard model is very similar to the predecessor iPhone 13.

So do you want to spoil yourself with the latest features? Then it is probably wiser to pay € 200 extra and choose the Pro variant. Unfortunately, Apple’s holy fire when it comes to developing new devices seems to have faded a bit.
