Design and Build
Crafted with a glass front and back, coupled with a stainless-steel frame, the iPhone 14 Pro has a compact and sturdy design. It measures 147.5 x 71.5 x 7.9 mm and weighs 206 grams, providing a balanced feel in the hand. The phone is IP68 rated, making it resistant to dust and water (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes). Internationally, it supports Nano-SIM and eSIM configurations, with a dual eSIM variant available in the USA, and dual SIM standby in China. Apple Pay compatibility is also included, allowing secure, contactless payments.

Display
The iPhone 14 Pro features a 6.1-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring smooth interactions and an excellent viewing experience. With HDR10 and Dolby Vision support, the display offers rich color and contrast, reaching up to 2000 nits of peak brightness for outdoor use. The Always-On Display feature keeps essential information visible without unlocking the phone, and the Ceramic Shield glass provides added durability.

Camera
Equipped with a professional-grade triple camera setup, the iPhone 14 Pro takes mobile photography to the next level. The 48MP primary lens, with sensor-shift OIS and dual pixel PDAF, captures detailed, vibrant images. A 12MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom allows close-up shots, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens covers 120°, ideal for landscape photos. The TOF 3D LiDAR scanner improves depth sensing for night mode and portrait photography. Video capabilities are impressive, supporting 4K video at 60fps, ProRes, Dolby Vision HDR, and stereo sound recording for a cinematic experience.

Performance
Powered by the A16 Bionic chip with a Hexa-core CPU and 5-core GPU, the iPhone 14 Pro is highly efficient and quick. The chip’s power, along with 128GB of storage, enables multitasking, gaming, and intensive applications to run smoothly. The 4nm chipset technology enhances performance and battery efficiency, ensuring the device meets modern smartphone demands with ease.

Battery and Charging
With a Li-Ion 3200 mAh battery, the iPhone 14 Pro offers a reliable battery life, though current health is at 88%. It supports fast charging via Lightning, capable of reaching 50% in just 30 minutes, as well as MagSafe and Qi wireless charging options. While battery health affects overall longevity, it should still provide a full day’s usage on a typical charge.

The iPhone 14 Pro runs on iOS 16 and is upgradable to iOS 18.1, offering Apple’s latest software features and updates. iOS provides an intuitive interface, enhanced customization options, and security features like Face ID.
