IPhone 14

The iPhone 14 was originally rumored to come with 6.1-inch and 5.4-inch display size options. However, when the iPhone 14 was unveiled, no smaller display option was available. This may have been due to underwhelming sales of the iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 13 Mini. Instead, a larger 6.7-inch display size option was added to the lower-priced iPhone 14 lineup.{{cite web | url=https://9to5mac.com/2022/03/14/exclusive-iphone-14-coming-in-four-models-without-mini-version-pro-models-with-taller-screen-satellite-features-still-coming/ | title=Exclusive: IPhone 14 coming in four models without 'mini' version, Pro models with taller screen, satellite features advancing | date=March 14, 2022 | access-date=October 22, 2022 | archive-date=October 22, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221022153219/https://9to5mac.com/2022/03/14/exclusive-iphone-14-coming-in-four-models-without-mini-version-pro-models-with-taller-screen-satellite-features-still-coming/ | url-status=live }}{{cite web | url=https://9to5mac.com/2022/07/26/iphone-14-mini/ | title=IPhone 14 mini: Why Apple is discontinuing the 5.4-inch form factor | date=July 26, 2022 | access-date=October 22, 2022 | archive-date=October 22, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221022151943/https://9to5mac.com/2022/07/26/iphone-14-mini/ | url-status=live }} The new 6.7-inch variant of the iPhone 14 was named "iPhone 14 Plus", rather than "iPhone 14 Max", which was predicted by previous rumors.{{cite web | url=https://9to5mac.com/2022/08/19/iphone-14-news/ | title=IPhone 14 news: Here's everything we know so far [Update: Price increase, event date] | date=August 19, 2022 | access-date=October 22, 2022 | archive-date=October 22, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221022153216/https://9to5mac.com/2022/08/19/iphone-14-news/ | url-status=live }}{{cite web | url=https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/29/iphone-14-plus-originally-named-iphone-14-max/ | title=Apple's Website Suggests iPhone 14 Plus Was Originally Going to be Named 'iPhone 14 Max' | date=September 29, 2022 | access-date=October 6, 2022 | archive-date=October 6, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221006131611/https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/29/iphone-14-plus-originally-named-iphone-14-max/ | url-status=live }}

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have an identical design to the iPhone 13, although the US models do not have a physical SIM tray.

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are available in six colors: Blue, Purple, Midnight, Starlight, Yellow, and Product Red.{{cite web |url=https://businessinsider.com/apple-iphone-14-colors-blue-purple-midnight-starlight-red-2022-9 |first=Mary |last=Meisenzahl |date=7 September 2022 |website=Business Insider |title=The new iPhone 14 will be available in 5 colors — here's how they look |access-date=7 September 2022 |archive-date=October 3, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221003054020/https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-iphone-14-colors-blue-purple-midnight-starlight-red-2022-9 |url-status=live }} Purple is a new color replacing Pink used on the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Mini. The yellow color option was added on March 7, 2023.{{Cite news |first1=Mark |last1=Gurman |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-07/apple-debuts-yellow-iphone-14-to-boost-interest-until-new-model |title=Apple Debuts Yellow iPhone 14 to Boost Interest Until New Model |website=Bloomberg News |date=March 7, 2023}}

The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, along with the iPhone SE (3rd generation) are the final iPhone models to feature the Product Red color option.

iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are available in three internal storage configurations: 128, 256, and 512 GB. Both models have 6 GB of RAM, an increase over the previous iPhone 13 and 13 mini models' 4 GB of RAM. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus have the same IP68 rating for dust and water resistance as their predecessors.

The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus use a 5-nanometer Apple-designed SOC, the A15 Bionic, while the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max have a newer A16 Bionic.{{cite web |last1=Clark |first1=Mitchell |title=The iPhone 14 doesn't have Apple's latest processor |url=https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/7/23313663/iphone-14-plus-a15-processor-no-upgrade-apple-event |website=The Verge |access-date=28 May 2023 |date=7 September 2022}}{{cite web |last1=Tibken |first1=Shara |title=How the iPhone 14, 14 Plus and 14 Pro Compare to Apple's iPhone 13 Lineup |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-the-iphone-14-14-plus-and-14-pro-compare-to-apples-iphone-13-lineup-11662587006 |website=Wall Street Journal |access-date=28 May 2023 |date=7 September 2022}}

The iPhone 14's A15 chip has a 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It is identical to the A15 in the previous year's iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max, which has more memory and an additional GPU core compared to the A15 in the non-Pro iPhone 13 models.{{cite web |last1=Charlton |first1=Hartley |title=iPhone 13 vs. iPhone 14 Buyer's Guide: Should You Upgrade? |url=https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone-13-vs-iphone-14/ |website=MacRumors |access-date=28 May 2023 |language=en |date=5 April 2023}}{{cite web |last1=Brecher |first1=Hannes |title=Das Apple iPhone 14 und das iPhone 14 Plus sollen einen verbesserten A15 Bionic erhalten |url=https://www.notebookcheck.com/Das-Apple-iPhone-14-und-das-iPhone-14-Plus-sollen-einen-verbesserten-A15-Bionic-erhalten.647209.0.html |website=NotebookCheck |access-date=28 May 2023 |language=de |date=6 September 2022}}

The iPhone 14 was the first flagship model since the 2008 iPhone 3G to have a chip that was unchanged from the previous year. The Verge{{'s}} Mitchell Clark attributed the unchanged chip to an attempt to maintain costs during the ongoing chip shortage and inflation surge. Clark also said the A15 "still outperforms the latest chips from Qualcomm and Google in most benchmarks", though the older chip may lead to the iPhone 14 receiving fewer updates, similar to what happened with the iPhone 5c from 2013.

The iPhone 14 features a {{convert|6.1|in|mm|0|adj=on}} display with Super Retina XDR OLED technology at a resolution of 2532 × 1170 pixels and a pixel density of about 460 PPI with a refresh rate of 60 Hz. The iPhone 14 Plus features a {{convert|6.7|in|mm|0|adj=on}} display with the same technology at a resolution of 2778 × 1284 pixels and a pixel density of around 458 PPI. Both models have typical brightness of up to 800 nits, and a max brightness of up to 1200 nits.

The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus feature the same camera system with two cameras: one front-facing camera (12MP f/1.9), and two back-facing cameras: a wide (12MP f/1.5) and ultra-wide (12MP f/2.4) camera, with the wide and front-facing cameras having a faster aperture than the iPhone 13. The front-facing camera also has autofocus for the first time.{{Cite web |title=Apple introduces iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus |url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/09/apple-introduces-iphone-14-and-iphone-14-plus/ |access-date=2022-09-10 |website=Apple Newsroom |language=en-US |archive-date=September 24, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220924172020/https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/09/apple-introduces-iphone-14-and-iphone-14-plus/ |url-status=live }}

The cameras use Apple's latest computational photography engine, called Smart HDR 4. Users can also choose from a range of photographic styles during capture, including rich contrast, vibrant, warm, and cool. Apple clarifies this is different from a filter because it works intelligently with the image processing algorithm during capture to apply local adjustments to an image, and the effects will be baked into the photos, unlike filters which can be removed after applying.

The camera app contains Cinematic Mode, which allows users to rack focus between subjects and create (simulate) shallow depth of field using software algorithms. It is supported on wide and front-facing cameras in 4K at 30 fps and 60 fps.

An "Action mode" feature was added to extend the electrical video stabilization. When activated, a smaller crop of the image sensor is read out for video recording. While reducing the field of view, a wider area around it can be used as buffer against shakes. The area read out from the image sensor is moved between frames to counteract hand movements.{{cite web |last1=Johnson |first1=Allison |title=How to use Action mode on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro |url=https://www.theverge.com/23365409/action-mode-iphone-14-pro-how-to |website=The Verge |access-date=16 September 2023 |date=21 September 2022}}

The iPhone 14 is equipped with slightly longer battery life compared to the iPhone 13. According to Apple, the iPhone 14 (3,279 mAh) can provide up to 20 hours of video playback,{{cite web |title=iPhone 14 from Apple's website |url=https://www.apple.com/iphone-14/ |website=apple |publisher=Apple Inc |access-date=6 February 2023 |archive-date=January 19, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230119010331/https://www.apple.com/iphone-14/ |url-status=live }} 16 hours of streaming video playback, and 80 hours of audio playback. Its predecessor, the iPhone 13 (3,240 mAh), is rated for up to 19 hours of video playback, 15 hours of streaming video playback, and 75 hours of audio playback. The larger iPhone 14 Plus (4,325 mAh) variant provides up to 26 hours of video playback.{{cite web |last1=Clover |first1=Juli |title=iPhone 14 Models Offer an Additional Hour of Battery Life |url=https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/07/iphone-14-battery-life/ |website=macrumors |date=September 7, 2022 |publisher=Juli Clover |access-date=6 February 2023 |archive-date=February 7, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230207001134/https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/07/iphone-14-battery-life/ |url-status=live }}

The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus originally shipped with iOS 16. The next-generation Qi2 wireless charging standard was added to the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus with the update to iOS 17.2.{{Cite web |date=2023-12-06 |title=iOS 17.2 Brings Qi2 Wireless Charging Support to Older iPhones |url=https://me.pcmag.com/en/batteries-power/20927/ios-172-brings-qi2-wireless-charging-support-to-older-iphones |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=PCMag Middle East |language=en-ae}} The latest version of iOS, iOS 18, which was revealed at Apple's WWDC 2024 event, was released to the public on September 16, 2024, and is compatible with the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus.

Apple's new Emergency SOS via satellite service for iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models uses the spectrum in L and S bands designated for mobile satellite services by ITU Radio Regulations. When an iPhone user makes an Emergency SOS via satellite request, the message is received by an orbiting satellite operated by Globalstar. The satellite then sends the message down to ground stations located across the globe.

As of November 2022, Globalstar operates a constellation of 25 satellites in low Earth orbit, with plans to enhance this in the future via its partnership with Apple.{{cite web |website=space.skyrocket.de |url=https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/globalstar-2.htm |title=Globalstar M073 - 103 (Globalstar-2) |access-date=April 22, 2023}} (The 25th Globalstar, M087, was launched out-of-sequence in June, 2022 as a spare)

The service became available to US and Canada on November 15, 2022, and to the UK, Germany, Ireland, and France on December 13, 2022.{{Cite web |title=Emergency SOS via satellite available today on iPhone 14 lineup |url=https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/11/emergency-sos-via-satellite-available-today-on-iphone-14-lineup |access-date=2022-11-15 |website=Apple |language=en-US |archive-date=November 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221115130433/https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/11/emergency-sos-via-satellite-available-today-on-iphone-14-lineup/ |url-status=live }} From May 15, 2023, the service became available in Australia and New Zealand.{{cite web|url=https://www.macrumors.com/2023/05/14/emergency-sos-via-satellite-au-nz/ |title=iPhone 14's Emergency SOS via Satellite Feature Now Available in Australia and New Zealand |website=MacRumors |date=May 14, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230515012634/https://www.macrumors.com/2023/05/14/emergency-sos-via-satellite-au-nz/ |archive-date=May 15, 2023|accessdate=July 1, 2023 |url-status=live}} It's however not the first mobile phone to combine both cellular and satellite connectivity.{{Cite web |title=thurayas-highly-anticipated-x5-touch-satellite-smartphone-launches-in-stores-in-less-than-a-month- |url=https://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prnewswire.com%2Fin%2Fnews-releases%2Fthurayas-highly-anticipated-x5-touch-satellite-smartphone-launches-in-stores-in-less-than-a-month-700345871.html}}

Crash Detection is a feature built into the iPhone 14 that is designed to detect severe car crashes and automatically initiates an emergency phone call 20 seconds after it is detected unless the user cancels it.{{Cite web |title=Manage Crash Detection on iPhone 14 models |url=https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iph948a628e9/ios |access-date=2022-10-12 |website=Apple Support |language=en |archive-date=February 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230204123741/https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iph948a628e9/ios |url-status=live }} Since its release, there have been many reports saying that the feature was automatically turned on during rollercoaster rides, due to the fact that the rides suddenly stop after going at high speeds, as happens in a car crash.{{Cite web |date=2022-10-10 |title=iPhone 14's Car Crash Detection Feature is Calling 911 About Roller Coaster Rides |url=https://gizmodo.com/iphone-14-roller-coaster-car-crash-detection-turn-off-1849639868 |access-date=2022-10-12 |website=Gizmodo |language=en |archive-date=October 21, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221021032637/https://gizmodo.com/iphone-14-roller-coaster-car-crash-detection-turn-off-1849639868 |url-status=live }}{{Cite news |last=Stern |first=Joanna |date=2022-10-09 |title='The Owner of This iPhone Was in a Severe Car Crash'—or Just on a Roller Coaster |language=en-US |work=Wall Street Journal |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-owner-of-this-iphone-was-in-a-severe-car-crashor-just-on-a-roller-coaster-11665314944 |access-date=2022-10-12 |issn=0099-9660 |archive-date=October 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221012004353/https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-owner-of-this-iphone-was-in-a-severe-car-crashor-just-on-a-roller-coaster-11665314944 |url-status=live }}

Emergency dispatchers have received many false alarm calls from iPhone 14 and Apple Watch users who have been skiing safely. In Colorado, a wave of false 9-1-1 calls led Aspen Mountain to advise device owners to upgrade their operating systems or disable the feature.{{cite news |last1=Richtel |first1=Matt |title='My Watch Thinks I'm Dead' |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/03/health/apple-watch-911-emergency-call.html |access-date=February 3, 2023 |work=The New York Times |date=February 3, 2023 |archive-date=February 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230204123742/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/03/health/apple-watch-911-emergency-call.html |url-status=live }} In Japan's Hida Mountains, emergency dispatchers reported 134 false emergency calls, more than 14% of the total emergency call volume, between December 16, 2022, and January 23, 2023, attributed to Crash Detection triggering while an iPhone 14 owner was skiing.{{cite news |title=Japan Skiers' Smartphones Making Unnecessary Emergency Calls |url=https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/society/general-news/20230129-87465/ |access-date=February 3, 2023 |work=The Japan News |publisher=The Yomiuri Shimbun |date=January 29, 2023 |language=en |archive-date=February 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230204123743/https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/society/general-news/20230129-87465/ |url-status=live }}
