Correction: 01:27 Obviously I meant 14 Pro - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

Im confused, it looks like some of the images of the iPhone 14 looks better then the iPhone 14 pro
Because if the photonic engine camera
@@jamesont7061 they both have photonic engine
Yeah the 14 pro max does seem to over sharpen and clip the shadows when it doesn’t have to because of the new sensor, they’ll probably fix that with the 15 pro’s. The 14/14plus are using the larger 12mp sensor from the 13 pro’s with sensor shift and now with the new photonic engine the only difference’s are slight in low light and when you crop in which no average user crops in, they just take the picture and post it online. Both are good cameras
Same
( Natural Color ) is what you’re aiming for. Bright colors don’t necessarily make the picture more detailed. I don’t know if you go back to 35mm cameras and keeping 35mm negatives. But an old school negative can be processed the way you want. If you want brighter or darker areas you can change it at will. Today it’s called Raw. There’s no way a still picture can compete with a raw picture because you can’t change the still. You can take the raw to a professional and have them calibrate the colors for you.
Very nice tip on the new option for preserving the F-stop for cinematic mode. I remember last year you mentioned how much better it was to change away from the default to get usable shots, and I've been doing it since, but it's always a PITA to do especially if moving fast/quickly. Sometimes it's the little things!
I do think many photos look better on the normal iPhone 14 than the pro.
the raw photo also looks so good! would love to change from base version to pro version next yearish!
The main lens looks nearly identical across the 14 and 14 Pro. But wow, is there a dramatic improvement with the ultra-wide lens on the Pro. I use that lens all the time too, so I'd consider that a worthwhile upgrade.
but the problem is this idiot did just compare the ultra wide from the 14 pro with the 14 and not the 13 pro which did get upgraded last year and should be somewhere in between the 14 and 14pro...
I'd argue pretty heavily against that. For the main lens, even in normal light with detail (such as her orange pants), but especially in low light, such as at 13:50 where the suture lines on the jean jacket are night and day different between the main lenses. Then again around 14:40 the iPhone 14 Pro main had a clear difference where even with a higher exposure/iso, there was both more detail and significantly less noise in the sky, the water, and the outfit.
Lol.. 1000+ bucks for slightly better results

Tyler Stalman: The best, honest camera review, like overall.
Dave2D: Review summary of the phone.
MKBHD: Video animation and transitions.
I don't really treat any one reviewer specially, they all have different information that can be useful.
Mark ass brown leeee is the most overrated reviewer on TH-cam.
Dave2d became unwatchable to me, just reading dumb script and specs. Super lazy videos
I'm not upgrading this year, but I always look forward to your reviews because you show that phone cameras are very capable devices in the right hands. Excited to put my iPhone 13 Pro cameras to the test more next year. Thanks Tyler! 💜
Thanks so much! More in depth tests to come
My next upgrade will probably be an iPhone 20 or something. I just upgraded to an iPhone 13 pro from an iPhone7. I really like it when I see an incremental change in the phone.
@@stalman Indepth comparisons to the 13/13 Pro would be great! want to see how big the changes are between generations
Hello I just bought 13 pro in july, I took 2x installments. I already paid 50%. If I trade in my Iphone 13 pro for a regular Iphone 14 now, do I have to complete the remaining 50% of the payment before I can exchange my 13 pro for another iPhone? Thank you in advance :)
is the iphone 13 pro still worth it for 2022-2023?
Great review! Very informative comparison of each lens on iPhone 14 Pro, got more insight on which lens/mode to choose for different scenarios. Also glad to see Calgary skyline and some of my own frequent spots featured in the review!
I can’t decide between iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14, which one is better ?
I have the 14 Pro and one thing that surprised me is how much I notice the move from a 26mm equivalent to a 24mm equivalent on the main camera. It now feels a bit too wide-angle-ish for a main lens to me. Then again, the gradation between the different focal length does make sense. But it is definitely something to keep in mind and something I have to get used to / gather some more experience. Thanks for the super interesting analysis!
24 mm lens is what i have loved . Thanks for for your notice
We can see the difference in sharpness in all examples! Thank you
The one video I was really expectimg. Here we go!
This is a great review! Thanks for the content ❤
Your action mode comparison was the best I’ve seen on TH-cam
I just found your channel and I REALLY like this video! Thanks for sharing 😊
Finally a camera review I've been waiting for
Tyler is the only reviewer pointing out the horrible lens flare these phones produce at night compared to a regular camera.
I believe they briefly mentioned it on Verge’s review
The Verge has always mentioned it since it first became this obvious on I think the iPhone 12 and has mentioned it ever since
Shevon salmon spoke on it too in pretty much all of his iPhone reviews
I mentioned it one time
thank you, was wondering if i was the only one with this issue
YES I have been waiting for this video for so long!
Been waiting for this I’m going to love it
The raw is “worse” because it’s giving you more editing capabilities. You could fix the wall and the sky in post. That’s the point of raw… tuning up your image.
Raw is also the only way to get it to shoot in 48mp
Are people saying it’s worse? Haha. The iPhone 14 pro is way way better for professional photographers. The differences are night and day, mostly because of ProRaw. I have a heavy editing process where I take out all contrast and reapply it afterwards but distributed differently. An 8bit heic file gets shredded in the process. Also the mushy denoising artifacts are hideous. The end results for me are like a difference between a professional camera vs a toycamera.
But for people who just use it for quick snapshots and only show it in a small format (i.e.: instagram), it’s maybe a little less noticing and less important
Great video! Thank you so much for this helpful comparison! Still using my iphone7 and totally need a update
Hey Tyler, great video. Just found your channel and you did exactly what I wanted. Pointing out the nuances in the changes is SUPER helpful. ❤keep it up.
Absolutely stunning reviews, thank you ❤️
Tyler, we’ve been waiting along time for this one.🤙
Love this. Thank you for this great video
You are way better than some so called" top 5" youtuber ! love it. Hopefully this winter is not too bad for calgary
Nice studio set up and very good stage presence on camera, calm and intuitive. Keep up the good work nice review
this is the real review. thanks for this in depth look.
Great review, man! (I had another comment which I deleted, once I realized you covered it - about the 48mpx raw file). Appreciate you going in depth, and showing side by side. Still going to keep my Samsung, but I need a video like this to show me options :)
Excellent work Tyler! 👏🏽
I would love to see a "best travel camera" video I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks!
Thanks for the deep dive. This is the first time that I've felt the need to upgrade to the Pro.
Wow, it's remarkable how great the 14 Pro's 48MP RAW images are. All the annoying over-sharpening and noise-reduction artifacts of the typical iPhone image mostly appears to be gone, and it does start looking a lot like professional camera imaging. Also the new ultra-wide is a clear win all around. Color me (haha) impressed!
It's not a true 48MP sensor. It's a 12MP quad bayer sensor so you really get only a marginal improvement.
@@29mailman Im pretty sure it switches to 48mp when you go ProRaw. When you're not, you get the pixel binned 12mp image
@@29mailman did you watch the video?
@@michealadebz Yep. It's not a true 48mp sensor. Look up quad bayer technology.
@@29mailman when I use raw 48mp the difference is huge compared to the pixel binned 12mp. When you zoom in there is much more details and it is much sharper than in 12 mp mode
Yes I can see the sharpness difference in low light on YT. Great review!
5:44 Yeah, definitely adds to realism of this looking like true depth of field.
I’m looking forward to the dynamic Island, always on display in the new camera improvements with the iPhone 14 pro
Action mode seems the most useful new feature. It’s quite crazy how it opens up new opportunities for filming.
Man, THANK YOU! For what I need, so pics for instagram, some videos of me playing bass and guitar and stuff like that, seems like the 14 is good enough.
As usual, great video!
I’ve been waiting for this video 😬
Very informative. Good job! I always upgrade to a new phone every year, and have tried the 'pro' lines, but normally end up settling with the 'non-pro'. The average person just taking photos to share doesn't need the pro; yet we all buy them. Certainly the pro's offer a helluva lot of camera- if you need/want it. I always think I want the zoo- but the macro photography features are the coolest actually.
Excellent comparison. Thank you.
I'm using the iPhone 12, and I'm due for a recontract with my provider. I'm gonna take a chance at the 14 pro, because I'm intrigued with the 48mp, the pro-RAW, macro photography, etc. I use a Sony mirrorless camera and edit my photo as well, but I wanna see how well the iPhone 14 pro camera handles.
THANK YOU!!! you are the first one who realizes that the camera on the 14 is improved :) I have a 13 as company phone - and now a 14 for myself - it doesn’t look this artifacty anymore when zooming in especially with white objects - also I see it’s more sharper and clearer - I am very happy with the 14 (even though I come from an 12pro max which got stolen last month - was supposed to last one more year for the 15… it doesn’t feel at all like a downgrade… (was using an X as replacement till the 14s arrived)… I am really really happy with my 14 and I think some tech TH-camrs only compare previous gen with new gen and forget that people are not upgrading every year ;)
Zoom clearity of iPhone 14 is it good or better
I can’t decide between iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14, which one is better ?
@@hocineted7594 depends on your use - pro has better zoom :)

@@hocineted7594 it’s a bit lighter yes… it still depends on your use… go to an Apple Store or other phone shop and compare them weight and Color wise other than that the 14 is a solid phone
Great review - tbh quite on the same performance level except for some minor use cases & raw photos

As an owner of a OnePlus 6 (2018), I'm long overdue for a new phone. Was waiting for reviews about the iPhone 14 Pro and I must say, I'm impressed by what I've seen so far. I'm looking forward to this phone this year! Can't wait to upgrade! ✌️
Solid video, way to go 👍🏻
What a amazing content man!
Great video. Thanks for the info
I’m a sucker for quality. Thank you!
Great comparison thanks 😊
Probably the best one i have found on TH-cam..very nicely put in everything in one video..good job. i think 14 is still good in most cases.
Good job! Thanks x sharing
I think that for consistency, Apple should go all in next year and use 48mpx on all the lenses. And a improved zoom lenses is required too... it would be great to have a zoom lens between 5x and 10x
It’s a matter of cost. They could but they won’t unless they increase the cost of the base model or the part is cheaper to add.
Great review!
I know im not alone but i really like how the ProRaw images looking softer & more organic than the bumped up digital sharpness & contrast the jpeg/heic images. I wish i can shoot with that mode all the time. But my concern is, can we use ProRaw mode in lowlight?
@@theoneonly5368 low light yes. But not night mode....
I believe you can force the phone to use the whole 48MP if you dont turn on Nightmode when shooting in low light. But the result might not be what you'd expected because 48Mp means smaller sub pixel = more noise & inaccurate colors = the phone trying to reduce noise and recover colors = less details overall. even in proraw, Apple's still trying to "fix" all those problems.
I’ve been waiting for your review 😅
Thanks for the great review. So is it really 48 megs, or just a play on words by Apple with each pixel now using 4 pixels thus getting to the 48 number? The image examples here clearly show there's no discernible difference in IQ between them. Will say the stabilization is really impressive. Still debating on whether to upgrade or not.
interesting, I had the opposite preference on the raw/not raw comparisons. I didn't really like the way raw looked with the more faded colors. Excited to try macro mode, as with my 11 pro, if I ever want to take a picture of a small spider I have to download a separate app to do manual focus. Honestly I wish they would just add a manual focus setting built in without the need for extra apps.
Geniune review 👍🏻
Loved your review and your accent. OMG I am Greek but still understand almost everything without subtitles, you can call that progress. A Uk guy told me that I am even better than many of his friends!!
Great review Tyler

Really usefull, thanks 🙌 are you going to do 13 pro vs 14 pro?
Onion is so pretty, I always look forward to your reviews of the new iPhones because you have an eye for beauty.
I noticed on the pro max the pictures in low light look very grainy
What a great video! You actually convinced me to buy the 14 Pro. Although I’m not sure if I should get the Max or the non-max one.
@H M I can’t decide between iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14, which one is better ?
Got 14 pro max i am so happy for the quality it gives. Don´t need to have any heavy DLSr with lenses for good videos and photos. Some banding can be seen on the sky pictures? Thanks for the nice video
I've always loved your reviews when it comes to the photography and video aspects of an iPhone but I would like to ask if why is it that you don't review other major players? I would love to see a Galaxy S review on how their photography works as well as the Pixel line-up. I would esp like to see your take on how the choice of color is between the 3 major phones when comes to skins. I ask this because I consider you the best when it comes to phone photography reviews. Thank you.
Most likely because he uses an iPhone himself I’d guess.
Fantastic video comparison. For people who use the iPhone to occasionally scan documents, how does the change in focus distance affect that?
I just went from an 11 to 14, and I'm chuffed (only picked it up yesterday afternoon). I'm keen to do a comparison of the cameras, especially the lowlight and night shots.
I’d be interested in watching that!!
Pls do I’m thinking if I should upgrade or not and also have an 11
@@ricardoelizondot upgrade to 13 best bang for buck

Just wanted to note that I was really charmed by how the ice cream scoops matched her outfit! Of course the entire video was helpful as well, but I wanted to highlight that one little thing.
that makes it all worth it, honestly thank you! had that color palette on my mind ever since i had those flavours for the first time
even in the first comparison shots it’s clear that the 14 got a lot more sharpening applied. There are visible halos on contrast edges which show this quite clearly. An interesting try would then have been how the 14 pro 48mp image reacts to well done sharpening applied… enough to bring the details out without resorting into halo land.
In regard to the 2x lens being no „optical“ zoom but just a crop: Technically, yes it is just a crop of the sensor of the 14 pro… but since the sensor is also bigger at the same time, it’s sensor pixels are nearly the same size as the one in the 12 MP sensor of the 14. So - in relation to the 14 it actually is similar to a 2x „optical“ zoom in any way to think of it. So from the standpoint of just getting 12 MP photos it behaves like having a real additional 2x module. You could do the same by cropping from the 48MP RAW of course. So the „2x“ zoom definitely makes sense as a camera feature for common use but of course isn’t magic. It’s a matter of perspective.
Thank you so much Tyler for this very helpful and practical video. Could you also make a video comparing the Google Pixel 6 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro and the Samsung S22 Ultra photography?
I especially want to try it next to the next Pixel!
@@stalman Thanks, seems great!
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE CROP. I was so tired of people calling it "an optical zoom" or "a 2x zoom", some people just don't know anything about lenses and just spread misinformation. Thanks for the review, I ended up getting a 14.
Liked immediately when clip started play, knowing this would be good. And yep!
I think it's fair to say that us iP14 users isn't missing that much in the camera department. But I still want to get an iP14 Pro in Silver color but it's so damn expensive.
This video was excellent! Watching on my 14 pro max
Great comparison
I shoot raw, and always have since the Pro Raw feature became available. I don’t carry a camera when traveling anymore. Also, it’s fun to edit the photos in my style when I can. When shooting raw, you really focus more on composition and your shot.
thank you great comparison! did you notice any aberration on both? if to take pictures of books, cards, etc it can be quite annoying ( I have Samsung S8 which I love but that thing and jerkiness of panning is not helpful).
Billiant review👏. My take: Ultrawide, macro are nightmode are way ahead in Pro. For day to day regular uses and casual shots, considering the huge difference in price between 14 and 14pro, the 14 will be much more logical to buy, considering Value for Money.
the thing is now 10x is almost like a normal optical zoom now! And did you use pro raw?
The proRAW file has minimal sharpening and using Lightroom it has a much better interpretation of proper dynamic range. Where as if you shoot normally it's always over sharpened and with insanely unrealistic dynamic range. I compared the ProRAW to all kinds of different cameras I have and I'd say its performance is close to an APS-C senso. It's just that again, the default camera app shooting HEIC ruins the potential with sharpening and HDR.
I have an iPhone 13 mini. I edit my iPhone photos in Photoshop and Lightroom. I add artificial bokeh to my iPhone photos in PS. Great review on this iPhone 14 vs 14 Pro.
Megapixel counts only matter to a point. If you are doing a large amount of cropping in with your photos of course you'll get better detail. However for the purpose most people use their phone for, there's a reason why Apple stayed with the same count for years.
Hola desde España. Tú contenido es genial.Enhorabuena.
Me gustaría que comparases el iPhone 13 pro vs iPhone 14.

The much needed video
excellent as always
You are an amazing person for camera reviews. Kindly do a review of the vivo x80 pro camera system.Its so amazing, specially under low light.
Also i dnt like how iPhone lenses attract finger prints compared to phones like the x80 pro.
This is one of the best camera reviews on the new iPhones
Around the 9:35 to 9:40 in one of the comparison of two similar shots on this video, I notice the clouds and sky on the iPhone 14 Pro (48MP RAW) looking much more washed out than on the iPhone 14 HEIC rendering of the clouds and sky. Is that something that can be rectified quite easily in LR after the fact, while processing the RAW image, or is the 48MP sensor simply not as good at capturing clouds and sky?
Here's why I'm asking. I've been shooting 16:9 (at .5) of clouds and sky with my iPhone 11 Pro Max for years and I really love the results I get; so much so that when the iPhone 13 Pro Max came out I purchased one, only to return it the same day after spending an hour or so shooting C&S HEIC images with it, side by side with my 11 Pro Max. The eleven's rendering of clouds and sky consistently looked a lot better than the thirteen's.
Any thoughts?
Hey, you may already know this by now but you're correct...somewhat. From my testing the raw photo doesn't always look the best straight out of camera, but it's meant to be edited and tweaked hence it being Raw. Once I upload the photo to lightroom and decrease the highlights it makes the world of difference to any clouds in the sky. Raw on the 14 pro truly is impressive for making pictures look more realistic.
She's a gem. ❤️
Thanks for helping us choose.
I would like to see a comparison between the cameras of the 12 Pro (Max) and 14 Pro (Max). Curious to know whether it is worth upgrading or better skip a year.
As a person who left the 12 pro max for the 14 pro max .. please don’t. Now if you really need to upgrade to something get the 14 plus or a refurbished 13 pro max.
@@maddisana Soon the question will become: upgrade to 15 Pro Max or stick to the 12 pro max for another year...
the 2x zoom is not a crop because when you shoot 1x in normal mode, it isn't reading out 48mp, the pixel binning happens on the sensor, it still comes out as a 12mp image. But when you shoot 2x, it reads out individual pixels in the center area, which is 12mp, there's no scaling happening and hence it is a true optical zoom. Another way you could think of it, is if you had another camera the same as the main, but with the sensor cropped in, is that camera a true 2x? Well it has to be isn't it? The existence of inactive sensor area doesn't make any difference does it?
13:50 Can tell a huge difference in the two low light shots. Easiest parts that stuck out to me are the suture lines near the elbows and above the breast pockets.
Great video. I knew I chose right going for the 14 Pro. Of course I updated from the XS Max, so there is going to be a huge difference. I’m very much looking forward to using the 0.5X, the 3X and of course using the 48 mp‘s. There are a lot of beautiful mountains in Norway, and I can’t wait to test the 48 mp’s and see the results. Could have used the 48 mp’s hiking 2000 meter peaks this summer, but all good things…... The XS Max was ok, but I suspect the 14 Pro will be so much better. It’s going to be awesome 👍🏻👍🏻🏔🇳🇴
I have an Xs Max that I love and here’s the problem: the pro max feels like a brick. It’s huge and weights 20% more. It’s the heaviest phone in the market. So I checked the 14 pro (regular) but the screen is tiny compared to the Xs Max so it feels like a downgrade. So I’m not buying any 😂
@@EGMontesano The reason I upgraded to the 14 Pro, and not the 14 Pro Max, was the Max can be a litte too large when stowing it somewhere. When I first bought the XS Max, I loved the lager screen. And I was very pleased with that size. Now however, I hike more than ever, and the Max size just takes up too much space. Also, with the "Dynamic Island", it's difficult to reach it with one hand without changing my grip completely. The regular sized iPhone is more manageable, and will better fit more pockets than the Max does. I've now had the 14 Pro for a few days, and I don't miss the larger size of the Max. I also initially thought it would be more difficult texting on the smaller screen, but that's not an issue either. And the screen is so freaking smooth, it's ridiculous. I can only say I'm very pleased with the 14 Pro. It's a substantial upgrade, and it's so much better in every way I can think of (except maybe battery life). I will very much enjoy the 14 Pro for years to come.
@@p.richter9592 I can’t decide between iPhone 14 pro and iPhone 14, which one is better ?
@@hocineted7594 Which one is better, will probably be very much up to the individual. The camera module of the 14 Pro is probably better than the 14. However, how much better is something I can’t answer. What is important to you when using an iPhone? Do you shoot a lot of pictures? Do you like a very smooth screen? Do you have the funds to get the more expensive model? I waited 4 years before I upgraded to the 14 Pro, and I’ve been into photography for quite a few years (shooting with DSLRs). The main reason I wanted the 14 Pro was the camera module. I hike/climb mountains, and getting shots of the mountains and the view from the top is something I enjoy. That’s the main reason I got the 14 Pro. What is important to you?
@@p.richter9592 i don’t want a heavy phone, and also I want a good color phone, what do you think an actor will choose iPhone 14 pro or iPhone 14 ?
I have had my iPhone 14 plus for awhile now and I will say my camera has captured some really good solid pictures and as for the 2,000 nits of brightness on the 14 pro models to me not a big deal I can see my phone in daylight just fine.
I mean I could see using 48 megapixel Pro Raw images for landscapes during travel photography, I think it could benefit from the resolution and cropping ability, but aside from that I just don't see the use yet vs. the tradeoffs.
