'iPhone 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max' appeared, the notch at the top of the display was abolished and the punch hole display & 4nm process A16 Bionic chip was installed

At the announcement event held by Apple from 2:00 on Thursday, September 8, 2022, the latest model of the iPhone, `` iPhone 14 Pro '' was announced. The notch (notch at the top of the display), which has been a major feature of the iPhone since the iPhone X, has been abolished and has evolved into a punch-hole type display .

The notch that used to be at the top of the screen has become a distinctive punch-hole shape, increasing the display area of the screen.

iPhone 14 Pro announcement.

The display is covered with a ceramic shield and boasts high water resistance and durability.

The body color is 4 patterns in all. Space black, silver, gold and ...

Deep purple is a new color.

The TrueDepth camera built into the punch hole type notch, which is the biggest change in the iPhone 14 Pro.

In order to make the notch smaller, the TrueDepth camera module itself has also been redesigned to achieve a 30% smaller size.

In addition, the notifications displayed at the top of the screen have also changed to match the new notch design.

This new notification style is called 'Dynamic Island'.

Dynamic Island is the UI around the notch that expands when there is a notification.

When there's an incoming call, the notch expands to reveal the caller's name and button.

It looks like this when charging.

Notifications when using FaceID are also made on Dynamic Island, so the FaceID loading screen does not cover the entire screen like before.

Furthermore, Dynamic Island can be divided into two and can display multiple notifications.

Now about the display.

The display size is 6.1 inches for the iPhone 14 Pro and 6.7 inches for the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

The display of the iPhone 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max has HDR content and a peak brightness of 1600 nits.

Maximum brightness of 2000 nits.

In addition, the iPhone 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max introduced an always-on display.

The always-on display is a function that displays the screen at a minimum refresh rate of 1Hz by a newly installed low power mode when inactive.

The clock and notifications are displayed, but the screen is dimmed to reduce power consumption.

In addition, the iPhone 14 Pro/14 Pro Max is equipped with the newly developed A16 Bionic chip.

The number of transistors in the A16 Bionic chip is about 16 billion ......

It is said that it is manufactured with a 4 nm process.

'In fact, the A16 Bionic is the fastest chip in smartphone history.'

Apple claims it's up to 40% faster than the competition.

Apple also claims that it consumes 20% less power.

It is said to deliver the same performance as the competitor's best high-efficiency core with one-third the power.

The Neural Engine for machine learning has 16 cores and can perform nearly 17 trillion operations per second.

In addition, the GPU installed in the A16 Bionic chip has 5 cores and has 50% more memory bandwidth.

In addition, a 'display engine' was installed. This display engine is for adjusting the 1Hz refresh rate and peak brightness during constant display.

And in photo processing, CPU, GPU, and ISP (image processing processor) are combined to perform up to 4 trillion operations per photo.

Along with the evolution of SoC, the camera has also evolved greatly.

The main camera is equipped with a 48 megapixel 2.44 μm quad pixel sensor. A wide-angle camera with an aperture value of f / 1.78, a focal length of 24 mm, and a 7-lens configuration.

The sensor size is 65% larger than the iPhone 13 Pro.

Quad pixels is a method of combining every 4 pixels into 1 pixel.

The quad-pixel sensor quadruples the amount of light captured by the sensor, offering up to a two-fold improvement over the iPhone 13 Pro, Apple says.

Shooting examples were also released at the event.

And the telephoto camera has a focal length of 77 mm, 3x optical zoom, aperture value of f / 2.8, 6 lenses, and is equipped with optical image stabilization.

Compared to the conventional 2x telephoto option, blurring and accuracy have been improved.

A machine-learning model has been designed to enhance detail and reduce noise, and the Apple ProRAW format can now be shot at 48MP resolution.

The ultra-wide-angle camera is 12 megapixels, aperture value f / 2.2, focal length 13 mm, 120 ° viewing angle, 6 lenses.

'A whopping 3x improvement in capturing light for photography'

Makes macro photos brighter and sharper.

The built-in flash also incorporates 9 LEDs, making it up to twice as bright as before and up to three times more uniform.

Cinematic mode supports up to 4K/30fps. Furthermore, it supports 4K HDR shooting at 24fps.

“iPhone 14 Pro delivers all-day battery life.”

This is the iPhone 14 Pro.
