Top new features detailed

We’ve tallied up some of the key differences between the iPhone 13 and the latest iPhone 14 so you can figure out if it’s time to upgrade.

The Apple Far Out event featured a host of new devices, including the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch Ultra, and of course, the latest iPhone 14 series.

If you’re curious to see how the iPhone 14 differs from the iPhone 13, here are the four main factors you need to be aware of.

Updated Camera

iPhone 14 features a new camera system with a focus on low-light performance and improved video stabilization. It also now has a wider sensor with a much faster f/1.5 aperture compared to the iPhone 13’s f/1.6 aperture.

What’s more, the iPhone 14 is the first iPhone to feature selfie camera autofocus, meaning your front-facing photos should have more detail as well as improved low-light performance.

No US SIM tray

While this isn’t rolling out to all customers, anyone who buys an iPhone 14 in America will find that it doesn’t have a physical SIM tray as Apple is pushing customers to use its new eSIM feature.

The company has teamed up with several mobile carriers such as AT&T, TMobile and Verizon to introduce eSIM, allowing users to make calls and send text messages without the need for a physical SIM card. What’s more, users won’t need to be connected to the internet to install their eSIMs, and users will be able to store multiple eSIMs on the same device.

The same A15 Bionic chip

Even though the iPhone 14 is part of a new line of phones, it will use the same A15 Bionic as the iPhone 13. This suggests that the iPhone 14 will have similar performance to the iPhone 13 series, although we will definitely check these claims. as soon as we get models for review.

However, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will feature the latest A16 Bionic chip, which focuses on power and efficiency.

Support SOS emergency call

Both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus support the Emergency SOS feature, which means that users who don’t have internet or data access can connect their iPhone to satellite frequencies, meaning they can contact emergency services if needed.

Apple says it can take less than 15 seconds to send a message in clear skies. This service is free for the first two years, though Apple has yet to reveal how much it will cost after that time.
