Oct 05, 2022| The Pro version has been upgraded with a 48-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 21% bigger sensor
In terms of photography, the main camera of the Pro version is upgraded to a 48 megapixel wide-angle lens, the sensor size is increased by 21%, and it supports higher resolution images and 8K video recording. In addition to the ultra-wide-angle and front-facing lens of the standard version, the telephoto lens of the Pro version is also upgraded to a 7P lens. The photo quality may be the biggest improvement in the past two years. But the trade-off is that the rear lens module is again bigger and more prominent
In terms of performance, the Pro version is equipped with A16 chip and adopts the third-generation 5nm process of TSMC N4P. The CPU performance is improved by about 15%, the GPU performance is improved by about 25-30%, and the memory is also upgraded from LPDDR4 to LPDDR5. While the bandwidth is improved, the power consumption is further reduced.
Overall, the iPhone 14 is a mediocre standard, but the Pro upgrade is sincere.
The price will break some hearts, with the iPhone 14 starting at $799, the iPhone 14 Max starting at $899, and the iPhone 14 Pro starting at $1,099. The iPhone 14 Pro Max starts at $1,199. For comparison, the iPhone 13 series starts at $699, $799, $999, and $1,099, which means that in addition to the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max are each up $100. In yuan terms, the starting price of the iPhone 14 Pro is likely to approach or even exceed 9,000 yuan, and the iPhone 14 Pro Max is likely to exceed 10,000 yuan.
Apple's confidence in its products is so strong that, according to the Taiwan Economic Times, the company recently bucked the trend by expanding its initial inventory of the new iPhone 14 series to about 95 million units, about 5% more than previously expected, in an effort to seize the non-Apple market.
Well, the timing of Apple's preemptive launch is based on the assumption that the iPhone 14 will outsell the iPhone 13, but how the market will react will depend on iPhone sales after next month's launch.
