At its launch, Apple did not mention the battery capacity for the four iPhone 14 series. It’s just that according to rumors circulating, the iPhone 14 uses a 3,279 mAh battery, the iPhone 14 Plus is 4,325 mAh, the iPhone 14 Pro 3,200 mAh and the iPhone 14 Pro Max 4,323 mAh.
Although the battery capacity is not much different from the iPhone 13, the battery life in Apple’s latest cellphone is higher. Based on a review from Gizchina, the durability of the iPhone 14 when used to play video and audio is 20 hours and 80 hours.
While the battery life of the iPhone 13 to play videos or videos is only 19 hours and 75 hours. The same results also occur for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
This HP battery can last up to 29 hours and 95 hours when used to play video and audio. The results are also stronger when compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max which is strong enough to be used for 28 hours to play videos.
2. Improved Main Camera Sensor
The next advantage in terms of the camera. Especially for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple pinned a 48 MP main camera. For the first time, the Pro lineup features a 48 MP f/1.8 aperture Main camera with a quad-pixel sensor.
This sensor combines every 4 pixels into one quad-pixel so that it can produce good photos even in low light areas.
The 48 MP main camera is also combined with a 12 MP telephoto camera with f/2.8 aperture supported by OIS technology and 3x optical zoom and a 12 MP ultra wide camera with f/2.2 aperture. On the front there is a 12 MP camera with f/1.9 aperture.
3. Use the A16 Bionic Chipset
Especially for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple installed the A16 Bionic chipset. Of course, this is the advantage of the iPhone 14 Series. Because, the A16 Bionic is supported by a 6-Core CPU, 5-Core GPU and a 16-Core Neural Engine.
As a result, this chipset is claimed to be 40% faster than competitors and capable of performing nearly 17 trillion operations per second. Apple claims that this chip provides more performance with less battery power than other HP products.
4. Emergency SOS feature is available
Apple also pays attention to the security aspect. This can be seen from the Emergency SOS feature via Satellite. This feature combines special components that are highly integrated with the software to allow the HP to connect directly to the satellite.
With the SOS feature, users can send messages with emergency services when they are out of cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. Before sending a message, this feature will display some important questions to assess the user’s situation.
Then the phone will show the user, where to point their phone to connect to the satellite and then send a message to friends or family. In addition to sending messages, the Emergency SOS feature can also be used to share their location with others.
