September belongs to iPhones and this year is no different. Apple thus, at his keynote, Far Out presented four new models, namely iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus a iPhone 14 For a iPhone 14 For Max. The base line has lost the mini variant, instead adding a larger Plus model. Of course, the more interesting news is in the case of the Pro models. They finally received a redesign of the cutout in their display, which is the most visible innovation. But the resolution of the camera also jumped. 

iPhone 14 and 14 Plus 

Apple introduced iPhone 14 a iPhone 14 Plus of course the first, because the Pro models are based on them after all. Both models are equipped with an A15 Bionic chip, which is not entirely surprising given the speculation. Tepe is also in last year's top XNUMX, and considering the current chip crisis, this is a logical step. They still have power to give away. Apple however, he still worked on it, so it is actually more powerful and economical compared to last year's version. Speaking of numbers, the change is only in the 5-core GPU, when we had 4-core ones here last year.

The display of the basic model and is 6,1" with a resolution of 2532 x 1170 pixels, the display of the larger model with the nickname Plus is identical to the versions of the Max models of the Pro series. It is therefore a 6,7" display with a resolution of 2778 x 1284 pixels, but logically both lack support for an adaptive refresh rate to Apple differentiated the individual rows from each other at least a little. For both iPhone 14, the cut-out known from the previous generation remained.

Two cameras remained. 12MPx wide-angle (aperture f/1,5) and ultra-wide-angle (aperture f/2,4). Although it is Apple improved, this is no dizzying evolution. This is what the Photonic Engine is trying to achieve, which is supposed to help especially in poor light. The same can be said about the front camera, which practically only has a better aperture (aperture f/1,9), but you can like the automatic focus. For stamina Apple states that its news will last a little longer than the previous generation, thanks to the improved chip. We didn't get USB-C, so there's still the outdated and unique Lightning connector, as well as the basic 128GB of storage.

But iPhone 14 dinner not pleasing, even with a larger model. The base starts at 26 CZK or 490 CZK, i.e. the price for which we had the base iPhone 29 Pro last year. 

iPhone 14 For a iPhone 14 Pro Max 

iPhone 14 Pro (Max) got the new A16 Bionic chip. It is of course more powerful than anything that has been in the iPhonech present. Objectively, it can be said that these are just numbers, because he doesn't really have much to compete with anyway. We'll see what the second generation of Tensor Google will show, but we don't expect miracles. iPhone The 14 Pro still has a 6,1" display, even the one on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is 6,7", has not increased. While it's the same size as the base series, the pixel density is higher at 2556 x 1179 pixels and 2796 x 1290 pixels respectively. Of course, there is also ProMotion adaptive refresh rate, this time up to 120 Hz. But Always On is new, after many years of waiting.

As expected, the cutout was also redesigned, which became a slightly larger hole. But what about him? Apple invented is surprising. He made it the very function of the system, from which functions, notifications emerge, you can see here, for example, the music being played and much more. Here it is necessary before Applem simply smile and it's just a shame that we didn't see this already with the iPhone 11 or at most 12 generation.

The main wide-angle lens jumped from 12 MPx to 48 MPx. All of course for even more detailed photos. From the logic of the number of pixels, which, although there are more, are smaller, pixel binning also comes into play, combining four pixels into one. The main camera has an aperture of f/1,78, an ultra-wide angle of f/2,2, a telephoto lens of f/2,8. It still has three times the optical zoom, but thanks to the technology of the main camera, two times is also available. The front camera is also improved after the model of the basic series.

A big disappointment is the base model's storage, which hasn't budged from 128GB. He could Apple to at least somewhat cover up how much it charges for news. Price iPhone 14 Pro the scene iPhone 14 Pro Max is thus the highest in the history of Pro models. The base will cost CZK 33, i.e. what it cost last year iPhone 13 Pro Max, the larger model starts at CZK 36. Pre-orders start on September 990, sales kick off on September 9. 

What about Samsung? 

Of course, we will see the direct answer only with the series Galaxy S23 early next year. But it can be said with a hand on the heart that the iPhone 14 does not have much to appeal to. The Pro models are nice, but it's actually more about their software gadgets than their paper values. Apple so it is still doing its evolutionary but slow improvement. The Pro models will clearly score in the performance tests, in which they will fall short, they will also do well in photography. But the higher price is clearly a plus Galaxy S22 for those customers who have hesitated until now and who are bored with the same thing over and over again. Apple in fact, he didn't show anything so important, except for the plays with the shot. That is, if we ignore satellite calling, which is intended for a handful of people and so far only in the US and Canada, starting next year.
