Looking at its features and the benefits it pose to users, there’s no doubt that the new iPhone 14 Pro has revolutionized the cell phone era.

Equipped with a ceramic shield, the iPhone 14 pro cannot be compared with a typical smartphone glass as it is water resistant and boosts 6.1" and 6.7" display sizes.

Aside from these typical features, now here are the reasons why the iPhone 14 Pro is the real deal.

The Dynamic Island

The newest and one-of-a-kind Apple innovation is designed to give you a new way of experiencing the iPhone. The feature bubbles up alerts, notifications, and activities in the space where the notch used to be.

Apple has blended the line between the hardware and software allowing the camera to take up less space. For a clear understanding, Apple has shrunk the hardware features at the notch and replaced them with software features.

With only a pop, Dynamic Island will allow you access to a variety of features that includes system alerts and notifications such as incoming calls, face ID, Apple pay, etc.; live activities happening in the background like music playing; and indicators for the camera and microphone access.

Always On Display

With this feature, you don’t have to tap to stay in the know. Though not a new feature for phones, Apple did it the way it always does, unique and advanced. When you hit the power button and the Always on Display is enabled the phone brightness drops, the LTPO OLED also drops to 1 hertz allowing you to see the clock and notifications roll in.

Crash Detection for when you can’t make a call for Help

Well, I hope you never have to use this cool iPhone 14 pro feature. Let’s say you are on a road trip in the middle of nowhere and you get into an accident, you’re incapacitated that you can’t call out for help. iPhone 14 Pro will come to the rescue as it can detect a severe car crash, call 911, and then notify your emergency contacts. How cool is that?

I know right now you’re wondering how a mere phone can do all these. The crash feature will activate when it detects sudden speed shifts, abrupt changes in direction, changes in cabin pressure, and loud sound levels of impact.

48 MP Main Camera that has an Advanced Quad Pixel Sensor

In terms of camera quality, iPhone 14 pro has raised the bar. Its camera quality will appeal to image photographers, filmmakers, social media creatives, and general users who are enthusiastic about image quality.

Apple made a significant improvement to its camera from 12 megapixels to 48 coupled with a sensor. For maximum efficiency, iPhone 14 pro sensor coupled with the photonic helps improve image quality even in a darker environment or less ideal situations. As a user, this camera gives you the power to film cinematic videos in 4k, higher resolution ProRaw photos, and capture photos and videos with better image quality both in medium and low-light situations.

An A16 Bionic Chip

With the A16 Bionic Chip, the iPhone 14 pro becomes the fastest chip ever used in a smartphone. The chip allows it to have 16 billion transistors, 4nm manufacturing, and a 40% faster CPU. As compared to the previous A15, the A16 Bionic Chip focused on three main areas: power efficiency, camera, and display.

What does this mean for you especially if you’re a power user? To start with, iPhone 14 pro has enough power to get you going for days allowing you to do more than enough tasks. If you are a gamer, then it will allow you to maintain consistent smooth frame rates for all your games. The A16 also allows you to apply effects on your video edits without any form of hiccup.

In my opinion, the A16 gives the iPhone 14 Pro users more power than they would ever need.
