Apple iPhone 14 Pro (256 GB) - Deep Purple

Product Information

This phone features fast charge technology - faster than standard charging, for when time is of the essence. It’s clear that a lot has changed in terms of componentry, however. The main camera has had a massive resolution boost from 12MP to 48MP and the sensor is also 65% larger than before, although note that the aperture is a slightly dimmer f/1.8 compared with f/1.5 previously. The 12MP ultrawide camera’s sensor is almost twice as big, too, and Apple’s TrueDepth selfie camera benefits from both autofocus and a brighter f/1.9 aperture. Other upgrades include the widely anticipated move to the 4nm A16 Bionic chipset, car crash detection and a new satellite emergency SOS system (although this is only available in the US and Canada initially).

Apple iPhone 14 Pro - Currys

iPhone 14 Pro. Pro. Beyond. All Systems Pro. Capture incredible detail with a 48MP main camera. Experience iPhone in a whole new way with Dynamic Island and Always-On display. Crash Detection, a new safety feature, calls for help when you can't. Introducing Dynamic Island, a truly Apple innovation that's hardware and software and something in between. It bubbles up music, FaceTime and so much more - all without taking you away from what you're doing. A16 Bionic, the ultimate smartphone chip. Superfast 5G cellular.Given how much work must have gone into the Dynamic Island and Always-On display, you might have forgiven Apple for leaving the display improvements at that. But that isn’t the case here, with Apple beefing up HDR courtesy of increased maximum brightness. Note that the newer version of this phone, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, is now available. Expensive = Better?

The iPhone 14 Pro comes, as you’d expect, with a new Apple chipset inside and this – the A16 Bionic – delivers performance gains that are precisely in line with previous iPhone iterations. It’s a hexa-core processor with a pair of performance cores running at 3.5GHz and four efficiency cores running at up to 2GHz and is built on a 4nm fabrication process. There are other changes, too. The sensor-shift optical image stabilisation system is now into its second generation. Apple says it has improved the way it processes low- and mid-light images, by applying its “Deep Fusion” tech further up the imaging pipeline. What Apple hasn’t done this year – again – is introduce USB-C charging, with the iPhone 14 Pro still featuring a Lightning connector on its bottom edge. The much-rumoured Touch ID sensor hasn’t materialised, either, while in Europe and the UK we still get a SIM tray. Only US users are losing that this year. Finally, one of the most eagerly awaited changes for Apple loyalists. Both this Pro Max and its younger brother, the 14 Pro, become the first phones from the Californian company to say goodbye to what many people considered the worst part of the previous design. Instead, we welcome the so-called Dynamic Island, a new "window" of notifications that grows or shrinks depending on the number and type of notifications. In fact, it's something like a dynamic, pill-sized, floating notch...Battery life hasn’t improved, per se, but it hasn’t at least got worse. In our video test, which we run with the phone in flight mode and the screen set to a brightness level of 170cd/m2, it lasted a respectable 20hrs 40mins. Give or take a minute, this is the same as the iPhone 13 Pro last year. The Always on Display doesn’t appear to have an impact on real-world battery life, either. I haven’t admittedly been using the phone very long but initial impressions indicate that it’ll easily last a day and more with moderate use.
