The much-anticipated iPhone 14 was finally released at 1 a.m. Beijing time on September 8, compared to the 13 series, the price increase of the 14 series, the following figure is a comparison of the entire series of 14 and 13, it can be seen that the 14 series is limited compared to 13, and Apple is still bullish in squeezing toothpaste.
A total of 4 new iPhones were released this time, distributed in iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, the mini series was cut off, and unexpectedly the SIM card slot of the US version of the iPhone was also cut off, because the US version used eSIM, Chinese name "embedded mobile phone card", the chip is directly integrated on the motherboard, no need for a physical SIM card, open a package to access the Internet, After the cheap American version and we said goodbye.
Although Apple's new product innovation this time is not much, but the launch of 4 products to meet the needs of large and small screens and different prices of people, will definitely get sales growth. Apple only dared to jog so much, because none of the Android camp could play. Apple directly engaged in "lying to win".
The detailed parameters of the four new iPhones are as follows
- The iPhone14 has limited progress compared to the 13, the processor has been replaced by the full blood A15 on the 13Pro, the storage has been replaced by 6G, the camera has hardly changed, and the screen is still ancestral 60HZ (so it seems that Huawei's 90HZ is still a conscience).
- The iPhone14 series only Pro is an intermediate pill, and the 14 and 14plus are still bangs
- The 14 series has little change compared to the 13 battery life.
Highlights of the 14 series
- The iPhone 14Pro and iPhone 14Pro Max are equipped with A16 chips (the strongest SoC in mobile phones), and the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are equipped with SoC chips for last year's iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max full-blood version of the A15
- iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro rear main camera upgrade to 1/1.3-inch super-bottom 4800W image sensor, the second generation of sensor displacement optical image stabilization, 100% Focus Pixels, with Apple's photo optimization, I don't know if Huawei Mate50 can fight, but in the video, Apple has never lost.
- iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus camera has also been upgraded to a certain extent, the front camera is 1200W pixels + autofocus, the rear upgrade to the iPhone 13 Pro with the same 1200W pixel outsole image sensor, low-light shooting effect increased by 40%.
- The entire series carries satellite communications, but does not support China.
- The iPhone14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max use a new "Smart Island" design, which is very creative, and many animations have a new design around this "Smart Island" (but this big pill in the center still has to make people adapt for a while).
Slot points for the 14 series
- The whole series is not equipped with a charger as standard (Brazil penalty is too small), and the charging power has not been upgraded, and the flagship mobile phone is at the bottom.
- The whole series does not support DC dimming, which is not friendly to those who like to play mobile phones at night.
- The iPhone 14 Pro Max reaches a staggering 240g with a small dumbbell that fits in the shell.

This price has entered the Mate50pro (starting from 6799 yuan) price range, and it is also comparable to the price of Samsung's flagship machine. So, when the user has a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus equipped with Apple A15 full blood version to buy, will they still choose more than 7,000 yuan of Android machines?
Therefore, Apple's iPhone 14 Plus will most likely sell well, and it will also make Android high-end machines feel painful.
summary
If you are using the 13 series, then there is no need to change the 14 series, unless you have an obsession with the photo upgrade of the 14 Pro, if you are 12 or 11, in fact, the 13 series after the price reduction is also a good choice, in general, the 14 series upgrade is very limited, and the standard version has almost no improvement. In general, after watching the iPhone 14 conference, it is indeed disappointing, Apple has not been eye-catching for a long time in terms of innovation, and more is to bring users a continuous and stable experience.
Finally, we have to admire Apple's ability to save costs. The iPhone14 and 14 Plus are directly connected to the motherboards of the iPhone13 Pro series, which completely saves R&D expenses, while raw material costs continue to decline due to increased production.
Why does Apple dare to jog so slowly? Because in the Android camp, after Huawei was pressed to the ground and rubbed, there was no one who could fight on the whole. Apple achieved a real "lying win".
