On Thursday, September 8, 2022, Apple announced the launch of its advanced Pro line-up of phones the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. The Pro models come with a redesigned pill-shaped display cutout around which Apple added a Dynamic Island for alerts and tracking live activities.
Interestingly enough both the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max remove the SIM tray for US models, enabling users to more quickly and easily set up their device.
What’s New in the iPhone 14?
With the introduction of Dynamic Island, the TrueDepth camera has been redesigned to take up less of the display area. Without impeding content on the screen, Dynamic Island maintains an active state to allow users easier access to controls with a simple tap-and-hold.
The Dynamic Island is a black contextual box that will now appear around the iPhone 14’s cutout. What this means is that it lets users toggle Do Not Disturb (DND) mode, monitor the length of their phone calls, check the battery life in their AirPods, or even pop up a sports score.
The new addition to the Pro- line packs advanced like 4K support in Cinema Mode, crash detection, water and dust resistance, and satellite communications available across the iPhone 14 line. In terms of what stands out, the new iPhone Pros come with a smaller notch as the new fitted cameras inside are now 30% smaller. In addition, the space around the cutout has changed to allow for easier access to controls for ongoing background activities like maps, music, or a timer.
