In some images, however, it did seem that the new “Photonic Engine” processing had made a difference. In the below image of the church, for example, the iPhone 14 Pro has far more detail in the grass in the foreground. You see the biggest difference when you capture your images in ProRAW format. To do this, you need to enable the feature in the camera’s settings menu, then tap the RAW toggle button in the camera app before taking a photograph. In this mode, the camera captures full-res 48MP images and the difference in detail capture is simply stunning – just look at the close-up comparisons below – the ProRAW image, processed in Photoshop, has a huge amount more fine detail than the 12MP image shot in default mode. Even after resizing the 48MP image down to 12MP there’s still a huge amount more detail in the ProRAW image. The only negative is that the images do occupy much more space in your iPhone’s storage – at around 73MB per photograph in ProRAW versus a mere 1.4MB – and you’ll only get the most out of them if you process them yourself carefully but if you don’t mind doing that, then I can’t imagine shooting in any other way on the iPhone 14 Pro.

The price has gone up, which you’d expect in the current climate, but not by swingeing levels, and Apple has introduced a handful of fairly significant usability and safety improvements including Dynamic Island, the Always-On display, crash detection and SOS via satellite (although only in the US and Canada right now).Note that the newer version of this phone, the iPhone 15 Pro Max, is now available. Expensive = Better?

In many ways, this makes it the very epitome of an iterative Apple iPhone release. It’s boring, yes, and expensive of course but the iPhone 14 Pro is, inevitably, the best iPhone Apple has released so far.

Battery life hasn’t improved, per se, but it hasn’t at least got worse. In our video test, which we run with the phone in flight mode and the screen set to a brightness level of 170cd/m2, it lasted a respectable 20hrs 40mins. Give or take a minute, this is the same as the iPhone 13 Pro last year. The Always on Display doesn’t appear to have an impact on real-world battery life, either. I haven’t admittedly been using the phone very long but initial impressions indicate that it’ll easily last a day and more with moderate use. All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See apple.com/uk/batteries and apple.com/uk/iphone/battery.html for more information.
