iPhone 14 / 14 Plus Specs, Price, Release Date Announced

Apple has just announced the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, a pair of devices with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens respectively.

Both new iPhones are going up for pre-order on Friday, September 9 with iPhone 14 going on sale on Friday, September 16. Those choosing an iPhone 14 Plus will need to wait until October 7 for theirs to arrive, though.

Both of the new iPhones are identical on the inside — the only difference is the two screen sizes. That means that both come with the A15 Bionic chip inside, as well as improvements to the internal cooling system that should ensure that the chip can run faster for longer. Apple also says that their “Super Retina XDR displays with OLED technology that supports 1200 nits of peak HDR brightness, a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and Dolby Vision.”

The real improvements over last year’s iPhone 13 devices come in the form of the cameras. The new main camera has a larger ƒ/1.5 aperture and 1.9 µm pixels, meaning improved photo and video performance across all lighting situations.

There’s also a new front TrueDepth camera with an ƒ/1.9 aperture that should give selfies better lighting when needed, too. The Ultra Wide features similar low light improvements, while the new True Tone flash is 10% brighter than before, too.

Apple also confirmed a new Action mode for “incredibly smooth-looking video that adjusts to significant shakes, motion, and vibrations, even when video is being captured in the middle of the action.” Beyond that, 4K video can now be recorded at 30fps and 24fps, too.

New crash detection means that your iPhone will call emergency services if it detects that you’ve been in a car accident, while satellite connectivity support means that you can contact help should you need it when outside of cellular service. That’ll be free for the first two years, but after that you’ll need to pay.

Apple announced the new iPhones alongside the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple Watch SE, Apple Watch Series 8, and Apple Watch Ultra at a packed event. Refreshed AirPods Pro were also announced, too.
