If you are looking for a simple and easy-to-operate iPhone model, the iPhone 14 is your go-to option. Powered by a Retina OLED screen of 6.1 inches, this device boasts an aluminum frame and a solid (almost unbreakable) ceramic screen. While the overall design bears a resemblance to the iPhone 13, the panels are quite different because they are slightly flatter. Next, the iPhone14 can withstand wear and tear, water stains, dust and debris, and everything in between. So, if you want a phone for your regular operations, this is a great option. 

Cameras

Now that you have a basic idea about the Apple iPhone14, let's take a close look at the cameras. The device boasts two cameras at the back of the phone. Needless to mention these cameras are wide-angled, come with a 12 MP capacity, and boast an f/1.5 aperture. The result/ your pictures carry every minute detail, and they are extremely clear. The best part: the camera in iPhone14 operates significantly faster than its older counterparts. To add to that we have the image stabilization from Apple (OIS), which further adds to the charm of the photos. 

As with the other models of the Apple iPhone, this one comes with a TrueDepth camera backed by autofocus. The feature is unique, and you will probably witness it for the first time in the front camera of the iPhone. Thanks to these new tweaks you can now take better low-light photographs. This is further improved by the Photonic engine which makes your low light snaps prettier and clearer. 

Finally, the biggest highlight would be the Action mode that makes way for stable videos, almost the same as with gimbles. The cameras work excellently and with the new low-light photography options, iPhone14 truly stands out. 

Crash detection

This feature operates the same way as in the newest series of Apple watches. It works by assessing the G-force and identifying the common sounds that are typically associated with a car accident. All of this operates in the background as you drive and in the event of an emergency, Apple will automatically place a call to your national emergency service. Thanks to the Emergency SOS, the notifications can be sent via satellite in the event of low or minimal cellular connectivity. 

5G Connectivity

Finally, the biggest takeaways of the iPhone14 are the 5G connectivity and added eSIM support. That means if you purchase an iPhone 14 from a US store, you won't get a sim tray like previous variants. Instead, you need to set up your phone with the eSIM procedure.

Even though iPhone 14Pro might seem like a minor update when compared to iPhone13 or iPhone14, it comes with quite a few features to keep you hooked. From the large screen size, superb battery, and excellent camera quality- this phone has it all. 

Screen size

One of the biggest highlights of the iPhone14 Pro is its high-end screens. Unlike the older variants, the screens of the Apple iPhone 14 pro come with the latest technology. The bezels are significantly thinner, and you would be amazed at the active screen space. Currently, it can operate between 1600 and 2000 nits when it comes to brightness levels. This is impressive, to say the least when you are using the device outdoors. Next in line comes an array of exciting lock-screen functionalities that are not just energy efficient but also reduce the refresh rate to 1 Hz. The processor runs super fast, and the screen doesn't lag at all. 

While operating the device you will find a notch at the upper part of the screen that the makers have tweaked to appear like a tiny pill. But guess what that pill is? For the uninitiated, it is Apple's iconic Dynamic Island which is truly innovative at its best. Combining the pill-like appearance and backed by iOS, it quickly integrates to introduce you to a new range of resources that pop up all of a sudden and even change the shape if necessary. The screen is unique and you would love toggling through it. 

Battery

IPhone14 Pro also comes with an amazing battery capacity that can last up to a whopping 23 hours. The charging is wireless and powered by Magsafe and if you are leveraging the basic 20W charging device, your battery would be 50% charged in almost half an hour. As with the previous counterparts, these devices are also backed with Emergency and crash detection features. 

Cameras

Next in line are the cameras which are probably the biggest takeaways of the phone. First, we have the 48 MP primary camera that comes backed with a wide-angled camera of 12mp and an additional telephoto camera of the same resolution. The unique aspect here is that the telephoto camera comes with a zoom of 3x, and the cameras are backed by the pixel binning capacity. The aperture is f/1.78 which is decent enough for iPhone. 

The front cameras are the same 12MP variants that you would probably find in iPhone 14. However, in iPhone 14 Plus comes with 4k ProRes complete video records. The best part is the frame rate which is around 30 frames for every second. 

The cameras are further backed by the Photonic engine and the high-end action mode. We also have a better and refined Macro mode along with improved night vision. The final takeaway is the LiDAR sensor that helps focus your subjects and objects seamlessly. 

Which one should you get? 

In case your iPhone is working without any hiccups, we recommend the iPhone14. It is a basic but decent phone with all the features starting from decent screen size to an excellent camera. However, if you are experiencing trouble with the battery life of your device, we recommend the iPhone14 Pro. Either way, it is best to explore all features before making the final pick.

Airpods Pro

In September 2022, Apple finally launched the AirPods Pro. If you don't already know, this is an upgrade from the brand's first-generation model that they launched way back in 2019. In the following few sections, we will take a closer look at some of the features of the Airpod Pro.

Design

The design of the Pro2 bear multiple resemblances with the first-generation variant. Having said that, they come with a round design and an ear tip crafted from high-quality silicone. The device is currently available in white, and you can't get it in any other color. 

H2 Chip

The next big takeaway from the Airpod Pro 2 is the H2 chip. Thanks to this chip, the device comes with a bunch of added facilities like the Noise cancellation feature for instance. Unlike the previous version of the AirPods, here the microphones are backed by noise-canceling features. What's more, they also come with a vent detect capacity that counters any noise before it gets to your ears. 

Transparency 

The next impressive feature in line is the transparency mode that cuts down on high-intensity external noise. The best part about this? It doesn't block out all the sound. With this feature, you can enjoy music, podcasts, and everything in between without the high-intensity sounds of sirens, loudspeakers, etc.

Ear Tips

The sound quality of the AirPods 2 is even more immersive thanks to the quick and highly functional head-tracking facility. The device is also backed by a high-end EQ that makes way for personalized sound and songs. 

The stems of the device come with a touch control feature. That means you can tweak the volume and the media physically when needed. Just swipe down the sensor and you are good to go. Next, you can also press the buttons to switch the music, attend to phone calls, and interact with Siri. Additionally, the features enable you to switch between multiple Apple devices seamlessly. 

Battery

We were quite impressed by the overall battery life of this device. Unlike the older variants, this can last up to a whopping six hours after you charge it fully. It can last even longer when you turn the noise cancellation off. The charging case is high-end and it offers a total hearing time of 30 hours which is a significant improvement from the previous variant. 

Charging options

Charging the Airpods 2 is fairly simple. You can currently charge it via the following: 

  • Apple Watch
  • Qi
  • Magsafe
  • Charging puck

The device is resistant to wear and tear, sweat, water, dirt, and dust. This way, you can count on it to last the longest time. 

Lanyard

The final takeaway of this device is the in-built speaker that enables you to locate the device in case it is lost. Thanks to the U1 chip and the Precision finding feature, you can find your AirPods in seconds through the Find My App tool.
