Review: If you were to upgrade your iPhone every time you could, you probably have not been all that impressed from generation to generation in recent years. That changes with the iPhone 14 Pro, because the main camera is really something special.
, but just enough was done to the physical dimensions to make it so that last year’s cases won’t fit on this year’s phone. That annoyance aside, I kind of appreciate how similar the phone’s design is since, well, I’ve gotten really used to it. Replacing one with the other was a pretty seamless transition, and there is something to be said about that.
Another change is that the iPhone 14 Pro has the option for an always-on display, which is enabled by default. I used this for the first couple of days before turning deciding I didn’t like it, and now I just let my display be off. I have an Apple Watch with an always-on display and there, I get it. Sometimes you need to quickly glance down to see the time and flicking your wrist just right or tapping the display doesn’t really feel like a watch experience.
The flash has also been redesigned with an array of nine LEDs with what Apple calls “adaptive” behavior. I’m sure this is helpful, but it’s still flash and I’m not a fan of any key light that is coming from the exact angle direction as the main camera, which is why on-camera flash has never been my thing.If there is one takeaway I want you to come away from this review with, it’s that Apple has cracked the code when it comes to outstanding photo quality in ideal conditions.
Compared with the 2x zoom from the main camera, the 3x of the telephoto lens is only worth it when there is a lot of light to work with. Once things start to dim, the quality drops significantly. I found myself using the telephoto lens the least on my iPhone 13 Pro and I don’t see that changing on the iPhone 14 Pro.The idea of portrait mode is nice, but I’m still not a fan.
