Apple iPhone 14 Pro (256 GB) - Deep Purple

Product Information

Other upgrades include the widely anticipated move to the 4nm A16 Bionic chipset, car crash detection and a new satellite emergency SOS system (although this is only available in the US and Canada initially). Apple says the A16 Bionic also brings 50% more memory bandwidth than the A15 Bionic, which supposedly helps with GPU performance, while a revamped ISP (image signal processor) enables improved camera performance (see above). In the various benchmarking tools we use, the A16 Bionic delivers better results across the board but there’s nothing out of the ordinary here. Last year’s A15 Bionic delivered similar improvements in both GPU and CPU-related tasks, as did the A14 Bionic before that. What’s perhaps more interesting is that Snapdragon-based smartphones are finally catching up when it comes to GPU performance. If not CPU speeds, where – slightly embarrassingly – the iPhone 12 Pro is still faster than the fastest Android has to offer. This is presumably why Apple isn’t too worried about leaving the non-Pro iPhone 14 on the A15 Bionic this year – it’s still perfectly fast for most people. The ultrawide camera exhibits slightly less of a dramatic improvement but there it is better, especially in low light where it captures slightly crisper, cleaner and less noisy images. It’s the new selfie camera that exhibits the least benefit, however, though the ability to autofocus should improve the ratio of hits to misses over time.

Apple iPhone 14 Pro - Currys

There’s a whole raft of new and upgraded features on the video front as well. Last year’s Cinematic mode is no longer restricted to 1080p and can now be captured in 4K resolution. There’s the all-new Action Mode, too, which applies action camera-like stabilisation to video footage (more on this below). In many ways, this makes it the very epitome of an iterative Apple iPhone release. It’s boring, yes, and expensive of course but the iPhone 14 Pro is, inevitably, the best iPhone Apple has released so far.

The much-rumoured Touch ID sensor hasn’t materialised, either, while in Europe and the UK we still get a SIM tray. Only US users are losing that this year.The Apple One free trial includes only services that you are not currently using through a free trial or a subscription. Plan automatically renews after trial until cancelled. Restrictions and other terms apply. Of course, the big new thing this year is that the old bathtub notch has been removed and replaced by two, more space-efficient cutouts: one for the infrared projector and camera and the other for the new selfie camera. The 14 Pro’s screen surrounds them above, below and in-between.

Given how much work must have gone into the Dynamic Island and Always-On display, you might have forgiven Apple for leaving the display improvements at that. But that isn’t the case here, with Apple beefing up HDR courtesy of increased maximum brightness.

Cameras: A Leap Forward

The iPhone 14 Pro comes, as you’d expect, with a new Apple chipset inside and this – the A16 Bionic – delivers performance gains that are precisely in line with previous iPhone iterations. It’s a hexa-core processor with a pair of performance cores running at 3.5GHz and four efficiency cores running at up to 2GHz and is built on a 4nm fabrication process. HDR, Panorama, Bokeh Mode, Night Mode, Portrait Mode, Pro Mode, Automatic Mode, Red Eye Correction, Burst Mode, Slow Motion, Time Lapse, Depth Auto Focus, Time-of-Flight Camera, Macro Elsewhere, the display is thoroughly brilliant. It’s colour accurate, with an impressive Delta E of 1 versus sRGB, and it looks absolutely phenomenal when playing HDR video material, whether that be home movies shot on the iPhone’s Dolby Vision rear cameras or Dolby Vision TV shows on Disney Plus.

Battery life claim refers to larger models. All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See apple.com/uk/batteries and apple.com/uk/iphone/battery.html for more information. This doesn’t turn your iPhone into an action camera, of course (it’s not tough enough for that) and the GoPro can deliver its ultra-smooth video at the much higher resolution of 5.3K 60fps whereas the iPhone 14 Pro is capped at 2.8K 60fps. However, it’s an impressive feat nonetheless and the fact that it records in Dolby Vision HDR means as long as it’s viewed on a suitable screen, your video will look absolutely stunning. Apple iPhone 14 Pro review: Performance The price has gone up, which you’d expect in the current climate, but not by swingeing levels, and Apple has introduced a handful of fairly significant usability and safety improvements including Dynamic Island, the Always-On display, crash detection and SOS via satellite (although only in the US and Canada right now). In some images, however, it did seem that the new “Photonic Engine” processing had made a difference. In the below image of the church, for example, the iPhone 14 Pro has far more detail in the grass in the foreground. You see the biggest difference when you capture your images in ProRAW format. To do this, you need to enable the feature in the camera’s settings menu, then tap the RAW toggle button in the camera app before taking a photograph. In this mode, the camera captures full-res 48MP images and the difference in detail capture is simply stunning – just look at the close-up comparisons below – the ProRAW image, processed in Photoshop, has a huge amount more fine detail than the 12MP image shot in default mode. Even after resizing the 48MP image down to 12MP there’s still a huge amount more detail in the ProRAW image. The only negative is that the images do occupy much more space in your iPhone’s storage – at around 73MB per photograph in ProRAW versus a mere 1.4MB – and you’ll only get the most out of them if you process them yourself carefully but if you don’t mind doing that, then I can’t imagine shooting in any other way on the iPhone 14 Pro.There are other changes, too. The sensor-shift optical image stabilisation system is now into its second generation. Apple says it has improved the way it processes low- and mid-light images, by applying its “Deep Fusion” tech further up the imaging pipeline.
