The iPhone 14 also features a major upgrade in connectivity, with satellite connectivity for SOS calls in remote environments. Starting at 128GB, the iPhone can be configured with up to 512GB of internal storage with no option for SD card expansion down the road. Storage options on the iPhone 14 remain the same as last year too. However, after the European Union's ruling of universal charging standards, the iPhone 15 is set to jettison the Lightning port in favour of USB-C, though only in Europe, not the UK. Unfortunately the Lightning charging port that had been rumoured to finally give way to USB-C this year still lingers, although Magsafe and Qi wireless charging remain as alternatives. It manages 26 hours of video playback, while the standard iPhone 14 is good for 20 hours. Apple is calling this the best battery life on an iPhone, as the larger battery was once reserved for the Pro Max model – now it can be paired with the less demanding screen and specs of a standard iPhone model which results in a much more power efficient phone. This still remains a powerhouse device, with Apple managing to squeeze 15 percent more GPU performance out of the A15.īattery sees a boost on the iPhone 14, especially on the larger Plus model as larger chassis equals larger battery. The iPhone 14 breaks a cycle for Apple, reusing last year's A15 Bionic processor found in the iPhone 13 and iPhone SE 3rd Generation. The Pro models stick to the same internals as the iPhone 13 Pro, however, making them just as fiendishly difficult to fix yourself. Which makes it much easier to repair yourself. According to a teardown, the iPhone 14 now opens from the front and the back, with the same two screws giving you access to the rear of the phone and to the screen. The major change within the standard iPhone 14 lineup is the inclusion of the larger 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Plus model, replacing (and totally opposing) the compact iPhone 13 Mini.īut while the iPhone 14 might look almost identical on the outside, its internals have undergone a complete redesign. The flat metal rails, dual camera bump and slightly smaller Face ID equipped notch of the iPhone 13 all make a return, with five shades to pick from: Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple and Product Red.
