Introduction
The iPhone 14 Pro makes powerful changes to the camera and pushes out the Dynamic Island, a new design feature that replaces the notorious notch from its first appearance on the iPhone X five years ago.
Whether it could safely be said that the iPhone 14 Pro was the best phone I have ever used, the battery life did indeed leave something to be desired. With its better battery life, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is all that—and it costs just SAR 4,149 more. From the compact show-off of its performance to its camera prowess, the iPhone 14 Pro is just the spectacle that other contemporaries wish to be. It's as if what this iPhone can do won't really leave much in respect to upgrading from its predecessor—whence comes this: the iPhone 13 Pro set the standard to begin with.
Design and Build
The iPhone 14 Pro design combines familiarity and newness. It closes at the back with an incrementally larger camera module for the iPhone 13 Pro. It's for the Dynamic Island, which leaves the notch behind, that things shift majorly in the front. More than a nibble at the screen, this pill-shaped cutout dynamically changes for a raft of tasks, adding a little user interaction via system animations for actions such as unlocking your phone and playing music.
The phone's stainless steel frame and matte finish on the back glass emphasize its premium finish. The Ceramic Shield makes it very durable, while the hefty weight of 7.3 ounces lends support to its solidness. However, this large camera bump means that the device just won't lay flat on surfaces; it wobbles when placed on a table.
While I still very much prefer curved edges, the size and weight of the iPhone 14 Pro are such that these squared-off edges don't affect me as much.
Display Quality
Apple continues its tradition of bringing the best display out there to the market, and the iPhone 14 Pro is no less. Color accuracy, saturation, and brightness all work in unison to make it great for both use cases. While a ProMotion display at 120Hz allows silky-smooth scrolling and gaming, it can go all the way down in adaptive mode to 1Hz for battery life.
Watching movies like Blade Runner 2049 on this display becomes very enveloping, with the vivid neons and strong contrasts drawing the motion picture closer towards one's five eyes. And this device does not disappoint with gaming either; all games, starting with Genshin Impact and ending with Pascal's Wager, look crispy and run buttery smooth.
Camera Performance
The upgrades on the iPhone 14 Pro are substantial in one place alone, with the camera system, specifically the new 48MP quad-pixel main sensor. Allowing for incredibly detailed 12MP images using the whole use of the sensor, whether in bright or low light, you can expand this. And if one needs even more detail, the ProRAW mode captures full 48MP images.
The 12MP ultrawide camera also gets a bump, with higher megapixels, making its output somewhat rated much better—especially in low light. Now, the main sensor is 2x optically stabilized, so its 3x telephoto becomes an enabler of 2x optical zoom quantity.
In real-world use, however, the cameras on this iPhone 14 Pro deliver amazingly well in most scenes. In comparison to the Pixel 6 Pro, images from the iPhone often seemed a tad brighter and more saturated—athough there are clearly situations where the more sedate approach from the Pixel to both exposure and color accuracy sees it pulling out ahead. Night mode on this iPhone 14 Pro is quite good, especially outside, though it has a tougher time than some competitors inside when the light isn't great.
Video Capabilities
The iPhone 14 Pro, thus, carries forward what has always been the hallmark of Apple—stellar video taking on its smartphones—hence securing its position at the helm of affairs in this regard. Some of the most important upgrades are with Cinematic mode, now updated for 4K 30fps video, which enables users to make videos styled in the manner of a movie, complete with shallow depth of field. This is what makes movies revolving around it a preference among creators and filmmakers.
Further video recording greatness packed in the iPhone 14 Pro offers 60 or 30 fps 4K video recording in ProRes. However, this feature can only be available in iPhone 14 Pro models whose storage size is at least 256GB. ProRes recording is definitely the game changer, even for gurus- will give you more subject details and color depth further, to ensure flexibility within a post-production process.
But the truly revolutionary new feature for this video capture in the iPhone 14 Pro is Action mode. This feature ensures extreme stabilization and offers the opportunity to create perfectly smooth and jitters-free video footage in the most dynamic and adverse conditions—one can shoot even while running or taking part in sports activities without problems.
All this makes the iPhone 14 Pro, first of all, an incredibly powerful tool for any user in everyday life, and secondly, a really great and reliable multimedia assistant for professionals who must produce nothing short of perfect video content.
Performance and Battery Life
The iPhone 14 Pro, often in itself an already powerful device, would bundle in the A16 Bionic chipset, making it whatever the market has to that point. This powerful processor surely does its work to ensure that all the user's input affects ease and even the most intense sessions of gaming that may vary to an extent of 4K video editing.
In addition, advanced A16 Bionic architecture combines enhanced processing power with optimized energy efficiency so that the phone remains smooth under heavy loads without its temperature rising or freezings. This way, iPhone 14 Pro will feel smooth and responsive no matter what you are working on—multitasking with many apps open at once, streaming high-definition content, or utilizing AR features.
The iPhone 14 Pro, on the other hand, shows a little bit of a mixed message where battery life is considered. While it can hold up fine if used judiciously through one complete day on a charge, it lags a bit behind its direct predecessor—the iPhone 13 Pro—in slightly more grueling battery tests.
The persistence of the same 20W wired charging standard now feels downright truncheonish, all things considered, as some charging speeds of rival phones graze the three-digit megawatt range. In spite of this, the iPhone 14 Pro does charge fast enough to meet most users' needs, making certain that it does have the power to really go through the day with only minimal amounts of downtime. However, power users will probably reach for the charger more often with heavy usage than with other equally priced flagship devices, making battery management one of the key considerations for this phone's potential buyers.
iOS 16 and Dynamic Island
The iPhone 14 Pro includes the latest, the most human operating system in the world, iOS 16 by Apple. With a range of new features and enhancements, it would literally elevate the user experience. Surprisingly, the widgets on the lock screen, along with photos and clock faces and different clock styles, are very impressive: it becomes a really unique interface that responds to personal tastes and needs.
Among the biggest additions is Focus mode, which brings a new level of granularity to the controls over notifications and app usage with an aim of keeping the users productive and relaxed. One of the most revolutionary software features probably coming to the iPhone 14 Pro is Dynamic Island.
Dynamic Island makes the notch, previously only a simple cutout for the front-facing camera, an interactive center that will have contextual information and provide shortcut access to miscellaneous system functions. Incomings of calls, notifications, or even music playback controls set an enthralling tone for the iPhone interface, making it more intuitive with every operation.
Highly captivating is another feature within iOS 16: Crash Detection. It will even auto-dial for emergency support when it believes the user has been in a horrible car accident. At the same time, both features make the iPhone 14 Pro a powerful but more secure and easier-to-use device.
Verdict
Amongst the best out there for high performance, the iPhone 14 Pro is one of the real flagships in its attitude. Driving the topmost performance in almost all of the functions of this device is the A16 Bionic chipset—gaming and professional-grade video editing. And, of course, the camera system is certainly reputed for the quality it puts out—a cut above with phenomenal photos and videos, capturing in basically any light, to the liking of photographers and content creators. Its colorful and sharp OLED display works great in an immersive way with streaming, gaming, and other everyday uses.
Have very simple demerits but the iPhone 14 Pro points. In non-power user circles, this battery life is likely just fine and doesn't strike any deal breakers, but with the high bar set by the iPhone 13 Pro, for the power users that can't put their phone down, this might be the difference. It may also act as a shortcoming for people who travel and transit a lot and change SIMs too often. The iPhone 14 Pro has just a few minor flaws, but taken in their entirety, the experience is hard to beat.
Without a doubt, the iPhone 14 Pro would be an exciting device for consumers in Saudi Arabia, especially with its performance, camera, and the end user support experience. High-end design and the latest features from iOS mean it remains one of the best at the high peaks of smartphone technology. That price is really affordable if you get the iPhone 14 Pro pretty cheap—an amazing investment in a powerful and future-proofed device.
