Apple officially launched the iPhone 14 series of smartphones in the latest Apple Park live event that streamed on 7th September.
Apple launched two medium-sized smartphones, the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro and two large-sized devices, the iPhone 14 Plus and the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
The Apple iPhone 14 is the most affordable of the lot, and it does look a lot like the iPhone 13, except for the new color options. It will come in Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple and Red options.
Incorporated with a 6.1-inch Full HD+ resolution display, the iPhone 14 has the same diagonally placed dual-camera system at the back.
The iPhone 14 is powered by the A15 Bionic chipset (six-core GPU) with 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB of internal storage. As of now, there is no information on RAM or the exact battery size of the Apple iPhone 14.
The primary 12MP camera on the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus has a new and large 12MP primary wide-angle camera with an f/1.5 aperture and sensor-shift OIS technology along with a new and improved 12MP selfie camera.
The iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus also support emergency SOS via Satellite connectivity under a clear sky. Using this tech, iPhone users can send emergency messages and alerts even when there is no cellular network.
Imagine a stretched-out version of the iPhone 14 and you will have an iPhone 14 Plus. Just like the iPhone 14 Pro Max, the iPhone 14 Plus comes with a massive 6.7-inch Full HD+ resolution display, backed by a large battery. This is also the biggest non-pro iPhone that Apple has ever made.
The iPhone 14 Plus despite having a larger screen delivers extended battery life when compared to the iPhone 14, thanks to the higher capacity battery. Both models will support wireless and wired fast charging via the lightning port.
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max will have A16 Bionic chips unlike the standard iPhone 14 and its larger counterpart, iPhone 14 Plus that will retain A15 Bionic chips as mentioned.
The iPhone 14 with 128GB retails for $799 (Sh. 97,000). The iPhone 14 Plus with 128GB retails for $899 (Sh. 109,000). Both devices will be available for pre-order on the 7th of October on Apple’s website.
