Adam Kos At its September Keynote, Apple introduced the 2nd generation of AirPods Pro, the 2nd generation of the Apple Watch SE, the Apple Watch Series 8, the Apple Watch Ultra and four iPhones. Everything was somehow expected from him, which can be said in many ways about the individual functions of iPhone phones in particular. Unfortunately, it has also been confirmed that you can hardly distinguish the basic model from last year's.

The quartet of new iPhones consists of the iPhone 14, 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max models. So we said goodbye to the mini version, even though Apple still offers it in its Online Store in the case of previous model series. This place was filled by the Plus model, so there is practically nothing to compare here, the difference is visible at first glance. But if you put the iPhone 14 and last year's iPhone 13 next to each other, you will have trouble distinguishing them not only by appearance but also by functions.

Vratislav Holub Design and display
The appearance is completely identical with only a few exceptions, but you will actually only see one. This is, of course, the colors. Even though some have the same name, they have a very different shade. So there's blue, purple, dark ink, starry white and (PRODUCT)RED red. The iPhone 12 lacks purple, instead having pink, and also has a green variant.

Then, of course, there is the larger camera module, and another is the greater thickness, which has grown from 7,65 mm to 7,8 mm (iPhone 12 was 7,4 mm thick), but you can't tell this except by measuring. The height is 146,7 mm, the width is 71,5 mm, which is the same for the iPhone 12, 13 and 14 models. The weight is 172 g, the previous generation had 173 g, the iPhone 12 then 162 g.

Pavel Jelic Of course, the dimensions are primarily based on the size of the display. It is therefore still a 6,1" Super Retina XDR without adaptive refresh rate and without the Always On function. Apple still keeps the resolution at 2532 x 1170 at 460 pixels per inch, no change here since the iPhone 12. The maximum brightness is 800 nits, the peak 1 nits, so again no change compared to the iPhone 200.
Performance
It was already known in advance. There's still an ongoing chip crisis, which is why Apple used last year's A15 Bionic in its entry-level lineup, with the only difference being a 5-core GPU instead of a 4-core one. Otherwise, there is a 6-core CPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. Speaking of the engine, the iPhone 14 now also includes a Photonic Engine, which helps it with the quality of photos. The storage, which has 128, 256 and 512 GB respectively, has not moved. According to GSMArenas the iPhone 14 should already have 6 GB of RAM, the previous model has 4 GB. Apple states that the iPhone 14 can handle an hour more than its predecessor. Specifically, it should be 20 hours of video playback instead of 19 hours.

Camera
We still have a double 12MPx photo system, where the main camera has received an improved aperture, which jumped from ƒ/1,6 to ƒ/1,5. The pixels have increased from 1,7 µm to 1,9 µm. Everything is the same with the ultra-wide angle. As far as paper values are concerned, that's practically all, the rest takes place with regard to the software, in which Apple at least tries to conjure up and improve night photos in particular. But the movie mode is now capable of 4K and an action mode working with video stabilization has been added. The aperture of the front camera has also been improved, which is now ƒ/2,2 instead of ƒ/1,9. Again, this will help with night photos.

Others and price
Bottom line, that's practically the end of it. So there is also car accident detection, a gyroscope with a high dynamic range, an accelerometer that detects high overload, Bluetooth 5.3 and satellite communication, which we will probably never use (which is why we don't want to drop it). So if you look at it from a moderate perspective, it practically cannot even be called an evolution, because the novelty is really the minimum and many may actually ask why the iPhone 14 is here at all? It's a must, of course, because it's new, a higher serial number, and a patch in the price range.

When you buy an iPhone 19 (990 GB) in the Apple Online Store for CZK 12, an iPhone 64 (22 GB) for CZK 990 and an iPhone 13 (128 GB) for CZK 26, there can only be one winner. Whether to give the extra 490 CZK that separates the thirteenth and fourteenth between them for practically nothing is not a difficult question. Especially if you are not an avid photographer. At least in the basic line, Apple has simply forgotten about any innovations, and the little that it has brought in addition, it will be well paid for.

You're probably kidding yourself, aren't you?
“when the main camera got an aperture upgrade that jumped from ƒ/1,6 to ƒ/1,5. The pixels have increased from 1,7 µm to 1,9 µm."
So because the pixels have increased, the aperture has also improved? Like somehow automatically, or how do you imagine it? And besides, this model has no aperture. What has improved is the aperture of the lens. To recap, an aperture is a device that can control the amount of light passing through a lens.
Hello... I think that the back reaction may not be so irritating... But to the point: I believe that you are both right. There is certainly no rear aperture in (non-standard) mobile phone lenses...However, even with classic (requires SLR) lenses, their brightness was shown when the aperture was FULLY open. And you have to buy glass and aperture separately for large format... However, it is always about the brightness of the lens itself, which is expressed by the aperture number (in addition, the aperture is part of the lens, so the value always applies to the fully open aperture - which was the case with SLRs to 99,9%). So for me - the way current mobile phone manufacturers say it, I understand it like this: the lens is without an aperture with an aperture (aperture number "f"), e.g. 1,6. NOTE: i.a. change of cl. a number of 1 stop (e.g. from 1.4 to 1.2) was purchased for glass sometimes at a double, sometimes even higher price...And even for current mobile phones, of course, low aperture values cannot be achieved (or it is always reflected in the price).
Dear Mr. Much, we use the terminology used by Apple. If you do not agree with it, the easiest way is to contact Apple and tell them that you determine that they are using it incorrectly. Otherwise, maybe it's better not to write in such a hurry, because then it looks like you should be educated in your mother tongue. Good day Mr. Much.
And once again: "The aperture of the front camera has also been improved, which is now ƒ/2,2 instead of ƒ/1,9"
Please don't write this nonsense. There is no aperture, the LIGHT has improved. Are you a person who is close to technology? Like really?
We use Apple's nomenclature and it states:
Main: aperture ƒ/1,5
Ultra-wide: aperture ƒ/2,4
Dear Mr. Much, could you please contact Apple and tell them that they are mislabeling their products? Because the editor used what Apple uses on its website and documents.
f/# indicates the f-number value and the minimum f-number determines the aperture value of the lens. And the lens always has an aperture in it. In the narrowest case, it consists of the mechanical diameter of the lens. So don't argue, you both have it wrong :) In this case, the lens only has an adjustable mechanical aperture, and thus the f-number value is unchanged and is the same as the aperture of the lens.
And it's true that pixel size has nothing to do with aperture. But larger pixels collect more light and are more sensitive, thus the entire optics in combination with the chip behaves as if it had a smaller aperture number. And Apple may quote a lower "virtual aperture number" to better understand the benefit of larger pixels.
And Mr. Much should calm down first of all, because this is not how decent people behave.
