The iPhone 14 Pro Scores High: A Comprehensive Review

When it comes to comparing the iPhone 13 Pro with its newer counterpart, the iPhone 14 Pro, there are some notable differences that set them apart. In terms of CPU performance, the scores were not drastically different between the two devices. However, when it came to memory, graphics, and UX tests, the iPhone 14 Pro scored significantly higher. This translates to a smoother user experience and faster performance in day-to-day tasks.

One area where the iPhone 14 Pro excelled was in cameras. Apple has made significant upgrades across various camera modules. The most notable change is the addition of a wide-angle lens that now boasts a 48-megapixel sensor. This allows for better low-light photography, with improved noise reduction and faster focus times. Additionally, the camera can now capture photos at two times optical zoom without sacrificing quality, which has been a long-standing limitation on previous models.

The telephoto lens remains at three times of optical zoom, but now shares stage with the new wide-angle lens for 0.5x ultra-wide shots and one for standard wide lenses. Furthermore, the camera can shoot in 4K resolution at 24 or 30 frames per second, making it ideal for capturing high-quality video content.

Cinematic mode has also been significantly improved on the iPhone 14 Pro. The ability to capture 4K-resolution video without the grainy texture that plagued earlier models is a welcome change. This improvement makes a significant difference in video quality, especially when viewed on larger displays.

Other notable features include a new color option – a bright purple hue – and an increased battery life of around two hours compared to its predecessor. Apple has also implemented crash detection, which can potentially help save lives in the event of an accident.

Game-changing features that make the iPhone 14 Pro feel fresher than previous years include the always-on display and Dynamic Island. The latter is particularly impressive, making a significant difference when using the phone. These new additions elevate the overall user experience, making it clear why the iPhone 14 Pro is worth upgrading to for those who are invested in the Apple ecosystem.

For fans of the series, these upgrades will undoubtedly make a significant impact on their daily lives. Whether you're looking to upgrade from an iPhone 13 Pro or simply want the latest and greatest, the iPhone 14 Pro has got you covered.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enis that time of year again iPhone season let's check out all of the little differences and performance differences between an iPhone 13 Pro and an iPhone 14 pro welcome everybody to Apple Insider it is Andrew here and you have probably heard there's a new iPhone on the Block we have the new iPhone 14 Series this year and I have been testing out all day the iPhone 14 pro it is a pretty incredible piece of Kit if I do say so myself and in this video I'm going to be comparing that new iPhone 14 pro to my existing iPhone 13 Pro I'm going to walk you through all the changes in Hardware as well as the performance differences and even a camera comparison so stay tuned buckle up and let's start comparing Apple's iPhone 13 Pro against the brand new iPhone 14 pro the iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 13 Pro each have a 6.1 inch OLED Pro display xdr they look really similar they have the same resolution the same pixel density all of that so what are the differences well of course you've heard of the dynamic Island that new little pill shaped cut out on the top of the display can do all sorts of fun stuff like show when you're in an app background activities music playing navigation voice memo screen recordings your airpods connecting charging status all sorts of things it can even tie into live activities from third-party applications at least when iOS 16.1 begins shipping but there's other difference as well besides that really cool Dynamic Island other changes include new Peak brightness but it can get all the way up to 2 000 nits of brightness when you are outside I did take my iPhone 14 pro outside next to my iPhone 13 Pro maxed out the brightness manually and there is a significant difference between these two devices it is much easier to see an iPhone 14 pro in the Sun than the iPhone 13 Pro hey before we get too far into this I have to think of a sponsor for this video and one of my all-time favorite case manufacturers for years Alto also has an entire lineup of incredible leather cases for all of Apple's latest iPhones all of alto's cases use incredibly high quality Italian aniline dyed Leathers that fit your iPhone like a glove and frankly feel like they have better leather quality than Apple's own cases some cases have built-in pockets on the back perfect for storing your cart you can store several cards in the back of your iPhone case and always have them with you without having to worry about a detachable wallet or an external wallet to bring along for the ride if you'd prefer a smooth back case don't worry also now supports magsafe a big addition over their iPhone 13 cases that did not have magsape I am so excited that magsafe is now built in it's just one of many little touches that stand alto's cases apart from the rest I also love the metal accents on the side they use anodized aluminum buttons the same way Apple does with their cases they fit your iPhone so well protect all of the sides there's a raised edge around the camera bump all those cases come in several different styles including playing back mag save support the pocket as well as a lanyard version if you want to check out any of these visit alto's website is linked Down Below in the description thank you again to Alto for sponsoring this video another difference is the iPhone 14 pro has an always on display see I'm going to turn it off and you'll still see the time right there on the screen if I tap it to wake it up it gets brighter it'll dim your display automatically when in this kind of standby mode and it does so by reducing the refresh rate all the way down to one Hertz one refresh a second which can significantly save battery life of course it can go up to 120 hertz just like with the iPhone 13 Pro that Pro motion display that can ramp up and down intelligently based on whatever it is that you're doing some people have posited that the iPhone 14 Pros display that's always on is a little two on but personally I like it I think it's just the amount the right amount of brightness you can see your widgets at all time you can see your custom backgrounds I very much like the new always on display but if you're not a fan you still can go into settings and turn it off the bodies of the two phones are pretty similar there's not a big difference in changes here except for the fact that the iPhone 14 pro has an even larger camera bump yeah it's grown in size from the iPhone 13 Pro which was already a pretty big camera bump but everything else the same still as a lightning port at the bottom with the speaker and the microphones we still have the same buttons on the side though Apple did remove the SIM card tray and is now e-sim only at least here in the US Apple says they've improved the thermal design of an iPhone 14 pro it's a little bit hard to test but it should run a little bit cooler especially for strenuous tasks like playing games editing videos or running a whole bunch of Benchmark videos both devices support 5G but the iPhone 14 pro has some new capabilities it also supports Bluetooth 5.3 and has Satellite Communication that'll be coming later this year allowing you to get help when you need it most and you're out of cellular range inside of the iPhone 14 pro is Apple's newest a16 bionic processor it's more capable than the a15 bionic processor that's still in the basic iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 plus but how's it score in benchmarks booting up geekbench 5. we got an 1880 on the single core in a 5317 on the multi-core on the new iPhone 14 pro the iPhone 13 Pro in comparison got a 1723 and a 4658 a definite Improvement for that multi-core score on the geekbench 5 graphics test we also saw similar improvements on the a16 bionic the iPhone 14 pro scored a 15 379 which is nearly 8 000 more points than the 14 401 metal score on the iPhone 13 Pro the last Benchmark that I won to test in this video was The antutu Benchmark that runs through a whole Suite of different tests to give you one cumulative score the iPhone 14 did fantastic here with with a massive increase iPhone 13 Pro scored a 767 863 whereas the iPhone 14 pro scored in 897 708 the CPU score wasn't all that different but the memory graphics and ux tests all did significantly better on an iPhone 14 pro using it day to day so far has not been a ton of difference they're still both very Speedy devices and I don't think you're going to notice a huge difference between an iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 13 Pro and your typical day-to-day tasks so what about the cameras this is another big upgrade for the iPhone 14 pro series Apple has really upgraded pretty much all of the cameras on the iPhone 14 pro in different ways for starting out with a wide angle lens that's the biggest jump Apple moved from a 12 megapixel sensor to a 48 megapixel sensor now you can shoot 48 megapixels in raw mode but typically you're still going to get 12 megapixel photos it's just going to combine using pixel binning 4 pixels into one super megapixel this should drastically improve low light Photography in my early test I definitely saw an improvement though it wasn't a substantial one most people are still going to benefit from learning how to take better photos than just jumping onto the latest iPhone and thinking that everything is going to be miraculously massively better that said it still definitely helped the photos do look better low light photography is better and it just seems like it's faster to focus in those low light situations and overall I've seen a bit less noise another benefit is that you can now shoot at two time zoom without any loss of quality you get to use that wide angle lens for two times Zoom because it's now 48 megapixels to still get a 12 megapixel photo you're essentially getting all the benefits of that wide angle sensor than the telephoto lens which is still kept at three times of optical zoom so now you have 0.5 for your Ultra wide you have one for your standard wide Lens two times optical zoom for your wide lens and three times optical zoom for your telephoto lens I think people are really going to like having that two times optical zoom without any loss of quality compared to having to switch to the telephoto lens which just isn't always as good as that standard wide lens one of my favorite new features of the iPhone 14 pro though is the improvements of cinematic mode I took Mosby out into the yard and started shooting some some cinematic mode videos and there's a big difference over how they look with an iPhone 13 Pro Apple has been improving cinematic mode for some time on the iPhone 13 Pro but it's much better on an iPhone 14 pro because you can now shoot in 4K resolution as well as 24 or 30 frames per second at that resolution it's amazing and it makes a big difference when shooting video it doesn't look as grainy or uh as low resolution on a larger display because before you can only shoot at 1080. now you can shoot in 4k it looks so much better just look at the sample video of Mosby playing with this ball in the yard it looks so much better than it did on an iPhone 13 Pro there are a couple other minor differences between an iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 pro there's a new color available this new bright purple color and the blue has gone away it's nice but you still don't notice it all that much it's not a vibrant Hue of purple like it would be for an iPhone 14 based model that has some brighter colors it's still very much a darker grayish with kind of a purple hint going on it's not nearly as vibrant as I'm sure some people want Apple also increased the battery life by a bit another hour or two depending on what you're doing I'll always take more battery life even if it isn't a massive deal more than the prior generation another neat feature is the iPhone 14 pro has crash detection which can help save your life in an accident and this is also featured on the latest version of the Apple watch that pretty much sums it up I think there are a couple of game changing features coming to the iPhone 14 pro to make it feel a bit more newer and fresher than years past the new always on display and dynamic Island are incredible to use and make a big difference actually when you're using the phone the camera is also a really nice upgrade especially that 48 megapixel wide angle sensor it is very nice and indefinite improvements for low light photography if you're a huge iPhone user it might be worth the upgrade what do you guys think let me know the differences Down Below in the
