Your First Ever Hands-On Look at the All-New iPhone 14 Pro

[MacRumors]

Following today's Apple event, media personnel have shared the first hands-on photos and videos of the new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which both feature a notch replacement called the Dynamic Island, a new Deep Purple color option, an upgraded rear camera array with a 48-megapixel Wide lens, and more.

Aided by software, the new Dynamic Island can morph into different shapes and sizes for things such as incoming phone calls, alerts, notifications, Face ID authentication, timers, turn-by-turn navigation, and more. The Dynamic Island, which houses the Face ID sensors and the front camera, takes up less space than the traditional notch did on the iPhone 13 Pro and earlier models and is more useful given this new functionality.

The new Dynamic Island and its integration into iOS 16 is just one part of the story. The new Pro models also include an always-on display, an A16 Bionic chip for faster performance, and many other new features. Below are some photos and images from media personnel at Apple Park who had a chance to get some hands-on time with the new iPhones.

Purple Pro Max for me.

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

Why isn’t the battery percentage in the battery icon?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Purple looks stunning! Very nice and elegant color. Woo hoo!

 

[fel10]

Not gonna lie, I’m tempted to upgrade.

 

[johnmarki]

I cant wait to put that camera through its paces.

 

[CWallace]

Why isn’t the battery percentage in the battery icon?

It's a toggle switch in Settings as to whether it is shown or not - presumably it was not set to show on these devices.

 

[shenfrey]

It’s genuinely really nice to see them all in person again, with their faces not hidden.

 

[jagolden]

Why isn’t the battery percentage in the battery icon?

That’s an option to show or no show. Somewhere in settings.

 

[Eldaerenth Faexidor]

Definitely gonna upgrade but still undecided on the color though. Gold or purple.. hmzz

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Purple looks stunning! Very nice and elegant color. Woo hoo!

Seems to change colors a lot based on lighting, very cool.

 

[jimbobb24]

Purple is not purple enough. Wish the Product red was on the pro.

That’s an option to show or no show. Somewhere in settings.

Yes, that’s right. I forgot about the toggle. When I installed the beta version that brought it back it was on for me by default. My mind is conditioned to think that it’s like that for all devices.

 

[_Spinn_]

Looks like a fantastic phone!

 

[ratspg]

Going for the Purple this year!

 

[redbeard331]

That purple looks WAY darker than apples promo shots, looks like grape soda, I actually like it.

 

[antnythr]

So how do Dynamic Island notifications work in landscape orientation?

 

[SnakeEater1993]

Jesus... camera module looks even more enormous now...Dynamic island seems great though...Dark mode on and that's it!

 

[DNichter]

Glad I skipped 13 for this one. Seems like a really solid upgrade all around. Can’t wait for the new camera.

 

[Sir_Macs_A_Lot]

"Both the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be available...and start at 128GB with..."

 

[MinimeJer05]

Currently have a 13 Pro Max graphite and was going to switch to white/silver, but that darker black does look kind of nice…

 

[Royksöpp]

Call me crazy but I really wouldn't want to take a selfie with Tim Cook. I would prefer be on the opposite side of the room from him.

 

[dasnlcmaskl]

Does the lightning port have USB 3.0 speeds?

 

[ipoddin]

Call me crazy but I really wouldn't want to take a selfie with Tim Cook. I would prefer be on the opposite side of the room from him.

Because?

 

[indiecraig]

The dynamic island looks awful and is a downgrade from the notch, which I already hated. When they showed full screen video I cringed so much, it’s so distracting I would personally consider it unusable for consuming 21:9 video.
