The announcement that Apple fans have been waiting for this year happened yesterday. The company launched from its Cupertino headquarters in California, United States, a new generation of iPhone: the 14, in four models. In addition, it presented several new features of other of its products: three new models of the Apple Watch and the second generation AirPods Pro.
Las new versions of the iPhone phone, the 14 and 14 Plus, they have a design similar to that of the previous model (the iPhone 13), it also has the same processor, the A15 Bionic. However, it has improvements in terms of taking pictures and a larger screen in the case of the Plus, which is 6.7 inches. Don’t get your hopes up though: in Colombia there are problems so they can sell them, due to Ericsson’s demand for 5G.
Both are equipped with 12 MP main camera with a larger sensor, TrueDepth front camera (takes up less space), Ultra Wide Camera to capture more of a scene, and Photonic Engine for brighter photos in low light.
“Interesting improvements are seen and the most striking thing was the arrival of the iPhone 14 Plus, a larger model in the non-professional, surely this will sell more,” says Samir Estefan, technology expert.

In terms of processor, these two models take a leap: they come with the Bionic A16 that allows a more powerful battery (can last all day) and is faster when playing games, watching videos and using applications. It has a triple camera system: the main one is 48 MP, the 2X option returns, which allows better angles in portrait mode.
About the design: the screen size of the Pro is 6.1 inches and that of the Pro Max is 6.7; They are in surgical grade stainless steel and textured matte glass. Colors: space black, silver, gold and deep purple.
For Estefan, the focus of the professional iPhone was not only the camera, but a new screen and the operation of the notch (Dynamic Island, bar where the camera is inserted) that becomes a dynamic element, a way to take advantage of that area.
