I honestly think the Dynamic Island is just another one of the small marketing schemes that apple does that works so well. Even though there is still a notch, this new feature made it look new for most people.
It is new though. Not only a physical redesign, but incorporated into the software as a usable space. Not saying it’s anything incredible, but for early adopters it’s an awesome addition that has some cool benefits over previous designs
I just upgraded to the 14 Pro w/512 from an 8 Plus w/64. Yep - an 8 and it was still working with some inconvenience but worked fine. 14 is wicked fast …. From what I had.
It's amazing how some features like 'Car crash detection' seems so simple for people but I think this might have made the engineers and designers scratch their head to make it precise.

With Apple being late to it, I'm sure they were able to copy a lot of Google's R&D to get themselves pretty close starting points. Pixel's have had it since the Pixel 3 with no reports of false triggers
I used to own an LG G4 as a middle schooler, and no matter how many impressive phones I see, I just can't get over how ahead of its time that phone was. Couple features that have since been introduced to iPhones are the back of the phone taps, front screen tap to wake up, always on display, default weather animations, and the "dynamic island." and absolutely AMAZING camera quality as well. Honestly as a South Korean myself, kinda bummed that my childhood smartphone is never coming back.
Interestingly, a lot of those features go even further back - the Nokia N9 from 2011 had an always on display, tap to wake and other crazy innovations! It’s super cool to see features like that evolve over time :)
Man, I *loved* my G4 until I got the bootloop issue, got it replaced and then within a year the battery life just went to absolute shit. LG innovated like crazy but they had so many issues that just made a lot of their phones unreliable and even when those issues got resolved they never managed to recover from it.
i still use an LG G7 for the stellar (relatively, for a phone) headphone amp, and its a decent phone still up to this day. LG phones are underrated and underappreciated
With the dynamic island - I'm wondering if the 'touch' will interfere with the physical sensors / cameras? The complete omission of updates to Siri continues to surprise me. Great review overall Markus - you make awesome content.
i like how they made IOS 16, more "one hand friendly" on the lock screen. Moving notifications to the bottom. But then make EVERYTHING go to the very top so its almost impossible to one hand it because of this "dynamic Island". However i like the implementation and idea.
Agreed. They confirmed that moving everything to the bottom is much better for reachability by releasing IOS 16, but then had to move interactions IN THE SAME MOMENT to the top for the iPhone 14 pro? It’s hilarious how people don’t realize how stupid it is. It may look kinda cool, but it’s by no means a “feature” that couldn’t have been done at the bottom 🤷🏽♂️ On top of that, the island is placed much lower than a normal notch. For me, that alone makes the pro version inferior.
Just upgraded from my iPhone SE 2nd gen. Battery life increase is a game changer. Pro motion is a game changer. Screen size is a game changer. Camera system is a game changer. Dynamic island is neat. IPhone SE feels like the first iPhone now
This is cool, a very good and understandable upgrade. I never understand why people upgrade every new release though, especially since nowadays the differences between last and new gen iPhones are barely noticeable
I think it might be better if the dynamic island can display notifications as well, like the notification just pops out from the pill instead of a separate box like the one shown in the video
You could change what it included and even rolling different features. Hey, it's iPhone, what you thinking? For that price, it shows your friends girlfriend secrets, what he even haven't seen, if he uses some android.
Thanks for mentioning LG came up with "Dynamic Island" concept 7 years ago with the LG V10. LG took many gambles and had some really cool stuff on their high end phones. Sure some things were a miss but when they hit, they hit hard. They're already missed.
As an 11Pro user I considered upgrading but decided to hold off for now. One thing I liked about apples new update was that you can use your iPhone camera on your Mac for better quality and the whole top down view (still don’t get how it works but that’s super cool). That’s one thing I want to learn more about.
Interesting! I want to look into that too. I still have the iPhone 7plus, and I will likely upgrade next year. I wonder if Apple will sell app suites, a collection of apps with a subscription fee. & I wonder if Apple will create irl membership perks, based on the iPhones you own.
Don’t feel obligated to upgrade frequently. To apple’s credit, iPhones from the 6s on have had really long lifespans. I didn’t upgrade my 6s to a 12 until April
Many reviewers bash the always on display for being too bright and mistaken it for still being on. I switched from android to the iPhone 14 Pro space black and in combination with the Omber leather case and the standard background with the always on display, the phone looks really gorgeous on my desk. Give it a chance to get used to!
Whenever I hear about satellite modes from US-based reviewers it reminds me of how good their general coverage must be... I live in Australia and it would be epic here! So much of Australia has no coverage and I literally take expensive GPS beacons with me on big hikes just in case. I can't wait to get satellite coverage here.
Literally have to take my inreach mini 2 with me everywhere here in Aus. We do have alright satellite coverage here no where near the US due to a small market. But between a new iphone and the Starlink dish (RV use) that ive ordered, im gonna be pretty set for 4x4 travels.
The funny thing with the dynamic island is that it clearly started out as a way to camouflage the notch yet they ended up making a complete feature out of it that could've been developed and implemented in the absence of a notch.
Yea, Android hardware is already heading towards no notch/invisible camera hole. I'd still enjoy an interactive notification bar like this! Competition is good.
i'm just wondering how much the Dynamic island actually add to the experience. i had to buy a new one because the old one died, but with IOS16 the whole island thing is pretty much the same, only now when you are watching something that pill is always going to be there. very annoying and wished they just kept it at the top of the screen

Marques is hands down the best and most consistent reviewer on this platform. I’ve been watching for years and I’m just in awe of how he continues to push the bar.
MKBHD has the highest production quality but I like a lot of smaller channels better in terms of getting new information or interesting analysis. This channel is pretty graphics, a cool dude and easy watching.
I'm very curious if a rough rollercoaster would set off the crash detection. That is pretty much the only thing I think could trigger it without a real crash.
Theoretically a rollercoaster shouldn’t trigger it. Because the phone measures high g forces of a sudden stop. Which should be way higher than those of a rollercoaster or fast spinning. But thats just a guess. Im no expert.
Massive props to mkbhd & the editors... Their slight zoom ins to footage are just so nice. Apple like (and I'm an android person)! What a dream to watch.
Taking a film class in college; noticed those zoom-ins to make those questions he asked more intense and dramatic. Seeing the cinematography and editing techniques evolve over time is incredible. He has a great team.
Yep. That said, why does the iPhone deserve all this attention??? No fancy intros for the Z-Flip or ZenFone which are arguably better value or more interesting phones for most people.

I‘m sticking to my 11 Pro till the 15 series comes out, still very powerful and feels fresh after the iOS 16 update. Gonna wait for USB-C to finally come to iPhone.
Watch them remove the port and say portless is the new future and more environmentally friendly or something. Just like removing the sim tray which I’m disappointed about. Edit: changed sun to sim 😅
Its interesting, because Android seems to be focussing more on getting rid of the notch. I don’t know if it makes sense to copy apple or not, its a very apple thing, the ✨dynamic island✨
That's what I commented just now. ZTE is leading the way with under display cameras, and I wasn't very hopeful cause they're not famous, but then Samsung started doing it with the fold, so I think we're good!
To me personally the true limit of the new camera is that they did not implement a 5x optical zoom. This is only partially replaced by cropping a more detailed 48mp photo but it still lacks for all those that like me don’t usually take photo of people.
The reason they didn’t implement a 5x optical zoom is because that amount requires dedicated periscope lenses technology. Its coming with the iPhone 15 pro ultra next year according to rumors. Digital zoom does not equal optical zoom. 3x optically is all you can achieve without need special side stacked lenses hardware.
Can we just appreciate the attention to detail and editing through out the vid these TikTok dancers that do nothing and put Minmal effort in they get millions millions of views but mkhbd is working in an environment that noT that many people watch but he still manages to clock millions of views
Agree completely. I'm about ready to upgrade my 12, but USB-C and more zoom (5x would be fine) is a top request so hopefully the 15 next year is the thing.

'Already having' a feature doesn't mean that it's equally good as Apple has implement it, just like Marques and the vast majority of reviewers have mention before. And this time around the difference is not only software-wise, Apple has made a big upgrade to the accelerometer which lets it calculate massively more g-forces, making VASTLY more accurate and reliable for the detection of a crash.
It makes sense to have the multitasking features out of reach of the fingers. If the dynamic island was at the bottom of the phone, people would keep triggering it accidentally. That said, I think that the intention wasn’t to design a new multitasking feature, but to make use of the new design in the best possible way.
Obviously, because it isn't a true multitasking solution. It only works with some apps that take advantage of it while running in the back. A lot of apps will never show up there. It's just a happy coincidence. If they intended for it to be a multitasking feature they would have marketed the hell out of it.
no it doesn't. having it right at the top middle is extremely hard to reach with one hand, especially if you have the bigger version. it's awkward at best and completely unreachable at worst if you have small hands
@@kevinjohnanand Ultimately, all Tech companies are aiming for a proper implementation of Under-display selfie camera as the notch/cut-out are not the answer for a full screen display. Personally, checked the latest Fold and Samsung is almost there with the under-display camera. In one or two generations, Samsung will perfect it. Then Apple will release it naming it "Submarine Eye" or something like that
It’s cool what they did with the integration of hardware and software with the island…but honestly it seems more invasive than the notch. Wasn’t that the point of people wanting the notch removed? Granted I haven’t used it, but from everything I see it looks worse when watching a video/etc…I don’t think it will last long. I think it is just a stepping stone to completely removing it.
When the notch first appeared, I though it would be more annoying that it actually turned out to be. Most video when viewed wide, doesn't go to the edges anyway, so no problem there. The UI had mostly been designed around it anyway, so again no major issues there. Dynamic Island just seems to call attention to this mole. I don't care for it. Maybe a mis-step like Touch Bar on the Mac?
I personally think this is worse, you now have a black surface stretching further down into the screen. I’m happy it at least looks more aesthetic than before, but that’s all it really is, aesthetic- not productive. It’s a good job on the marketing team and that’s really it. I bet the design engineers argued the other way, but marketing was able to convince them otherwise.
I’m not happy about the esim only option. If my phone breaks I like the freedom of being able to just swap my sim into another phone and keep moving. This is a limitation that I find unnecessary.
@@thepebblesexplore83 They will either make you pay a fee to move your esim or something similar, and this will definitely make it more likely for people to get locked into the Apple ecosystem.
@@kreeves1459 eSIM doesn't care what kind of phone you have, it's up to your carrier to "program" the eSIM. If you swap out SIMs frequently this can become cumbersome, because sometimes it's "instant" & sometimes it takes awhile for eSIM to register. If you stick with one carrier & don't switch often, you won't care. I'm currently using an eSIM on my Pixel 6a.
@@kevvvvj Not outright but it allows them to save money by not building a SIM tray and reader in the phone. Their whole thing is having a little ports/openings as possible. Next to go will be the lightning port probably in the next two gens.
Ive seen Marques’ around, but I’m not really into tech channels. That being said, I’m upgrading my phone this month and with the 5-10 videos ive seen I’m genuinely impressed with the video quality. Also i just trust this dudes opinion
My only concern with the dynamic island is that people will definately have a dump of fingerprints on their front cam and gotta clean their camera everytime they wanna take a selfie..
Great review! I think I’ll stick with my iPhone 11 Pro Max for now. It’s still kicking on and this still doesn’t feel like enough of a change to upgrade. Really hoping the next version has a USB-C port now that the rules are changing in the UK.

It’s mind bending that Apple still doesn’t offer real split-screen multitasking at least in their bigger Plus/ Max versions. That would be a real good reason for people to buy a heavier more expensive model. It would’ve been also nice, if the Pro versions supported the use of the Apple Pencil.
True, I find that feature extremely useful but I think it's more practical on tablets. On phones it's still good but not a feature that you would use frequently (on a phone).
well it would be very well implemented because of devs optimising the apps for split screen on ios, but i dont think that many people would use this, only in a very few scenarios i actually find split screen useful on a phone
As a android user, I've been tempted by the battery life of the 13 pro's and now the 14 has actual solid improvements over the 13, but the one thing that just kills it all is the lightningport... Usb c is just so usefull to be able to charge your speaker, controller, headset, laptop and phone with 1 cable is amazing. Ashame that they think differently.
Switching from Android to iPhone isn't a challenging process, the lighting port is a major issue to overcome. If you've got top of the line android and more familiar with it, stick with it.
There is still some years for that honestly. Sure, it will be permitted by law to have USB-C soon, but i still have some older products that have micro-USB ports. (Even some newer products still ship with that shit). So for now, they can get away with it.. hopefully just for the 14, USB-C is needed on the 15. But in some years, it will be great to charge even your shaver or any eletrical device for that matter, with the same cable, not just the usual stuff.
Hopefully they remove the port all together. I haven’t used my port on my 12 Pro and 13 Pro. Won’t be used on my 14 Pro neither. Everything have wireless charging now. Better water resistance.
The iFixit guys are awesome! I remember looking up their guides to figure out how to replace the battery on my Pixel 3A and it saved me from having to buy a new phone or having to pay a repair store
@@vitalpandya7908 it means that it's a little bit easier to open up, but iPhones are notoriously anti right to repair. A perfect example is what they did to the camera module where they soldered a chip onto the camera module which makes it so that if you try to swap to identical camera modules on two identical iPhones, you'll end up experiencing glitchy behavior. You could technically desolder the chip off of the old camera module and solder it onto the new camera module to replace your broken one, but it's so difficult to do so that it's unviable for a repair shop to do that and charge a reasonable price. Apple likes to pose as if they are for people's rights or repair while they actually do everything they can to stop it so that you go and buy a new device since that is their main source of revenue.
@@amizan8653 so parts are matched up on the newer iPhones with serial numbers embedded into each component, it’s mostly to stop people using fake components for repairs and there are devices that you would plug the original and replacement screens/cameras etc and it will copy over the serial so that it functions properly
Best review I’ve watched. I have the iPhone 7 Plus 128gb. I was going to wait until next year to upgrade but after watching your review decided to to get the iPhone 14 Pro Max tomorrow since I want the bigger screen. You got a new subscriber.

Marques Brownlee has been consistently great at what he does over the years. He's very passionate when talking about the advancements of technology in today's society. The newest iPhone release seems cool. I feel as though it doesn't differ too much from all the other past iPhones. Maybe the top notch has been replaced with Dynamic Island at the top that allows users to be more flexible with the device they're handling or using.
You've become my favorite phone reviewer. Aside from this, I just upgraded from my 12 Pro Max to the 14 Max, and I love it. The Dynamic Island is fun! and definitely the camera feels even better.. I've been taking more pictures than I've ever had lol Thanks for a great review! :D
Great down to earth no BS review! As a current XS user who is ready to upgrade this battery challenged model, I am so looking forward to Friday’s delivery of the new 14 ProMax model.
I'm currently on an iPhone XS. This is my third one due to the back glass shattering, then the entire screen digitizer freaking out. I've had this phone for about 8 months. Before the second one failed, my USB-C to lightning cable broke so I was using a regular cable for the first 6 months of this iPhone. Two weeks into this phone I was at 92% maximum capacity. It slowed down and after 6 months I finally got another cable. By this point it was at 88%. I've had my new cable for two months ish and I'm still at 88%. That's like really backwards. Usually fast charging destroys phone batteries. Not the opposite. Anyway, since then my back camera glass AND main lens have shattered. Now that the new iPhone 14 Pro is out at the same price paid for this phone series in 2018, I'm REALLY tempted... No, I'm not tempted. I actually want it. Probably cause I'm tired of no back camera and 3-4 hours of battery life with on and off use. So yeah, I feel you as another iPhone XS user.
That's apple sheep for you. Two videos on iPhone but none even showing how bad it would looks like when watching video. Purposely avoiding the bad point don't they?
@@fantasytky28 oh come on, i absolutely hate iPhones, but dude seriously? this is so small and even the hole punch on my OnePlus 8T doesn't bother me at fucking all, it's not even worth mentioning for me and probably the vast majority of people

As an S22 plus user, I really only like the utility for the dynamic island for map directions, and though I'm sure more things will come later, I'll still prefer a non obstrusive hole punch.
A few years ago I made the decision of switching phones every 3-5 years (depends) and always going for the largest storage option available.. No regrets yet.
I’m still on the 8plus & there’s nothing that I’ve wished it had except a better battery life (bc mine is at 75% max capacity vs original capacity) & I recently cracked the screen after daily use since launch. So now I’m on the fence, upgrade to 14 pro, fix the screen/replace battery on my 8plus, or just get something like the 13 since it’s cheaper than the newest model. Don’t take/edit pics or vids & I legitimately only use social media apps, iMessage & what’s app.

The satellite connectivity is not just for emergency cases. I'm looking forward to testing it out. I do a lot of hiking and often times will be without cellular signal for days. I have a Garmin inReach mini that I have to pay a service fee for that lets me send texts via satellite and also send SOS in case of an actual emergency. Thankfully I have never had to send the SOS, but the ability to update my wife and family each night that I'm OK, or if we get off schedule, etc. and send a GPS location to show we are on track is priceless and provides peace of mind. Can't wait too see if this new iPhone feature can replace the need to bring an inReach along.
On paper, you're safe with just using the iPhone for your satellite purposes. That said, when it comes to a potential life or death situations, a little redundancy never hurt anyone lol
The insane aspect is really how this iPhone 14 makes my over 3year old S10 look so futuristic with its minor bezel and single hole punch camera. I just ordered a new otter box defender case and screen protectors because I have apparently bought peak tech with this phone, I could only loose ports and options upgrading today.

I loved the v10 with that double screen which led me survive an entire year in college without a laptop. The main screen was enormous, and as lg’s QSlide apps feature can draw applets over other apps like a window, it made the phone very dependable for serious work, especially things like calculator. It was my only device during my first year at college - all assignments, done all video editing, made reports, PPTs, designs with just that phone as I didn’t have a laptop. It was a bummer when they discontinued it after v20, I now have an iPhone 13 but it’s nowhere near how v10 used to be in fluid multitasking on a mobile device. The second screen used to intelligently show the most important apps/ functions I needed to switch, more like a companion, and if needed there was always QSlide apps to do some quick jotting or calculation without getting out of the current screen. It was like a live companion which was actually useful, I used to wonder why it disappeared when the phones became all screen. Also worth mentioning was the desktop class files app it had which was miles ahead of the crappy files app I have on my iPhone. All my assignments and books were sorted in that phone exactly how I needed it to be.
I can fully understand you. A lot of people aren't going to understand how eSIM works right off the bat. Hell, some times it's a pain just instructing people how to even take out and put in a SIM card.

Great review!! I’m interested to see how the dynamic island evolves over time. Apple implemented the “Reachability” feature to assist with accessing menu items at the top of the screen. The dynamic island feature goes against that entirely. So I’m definitely interested to see how it evolves and how users feel about it after the honeymoon phase is over.

I'm more interested in seeing it absolutely gone. There's nothing to evolve. People should stop romanticizing cutouts in screens, just because they added some fancy animation around them. Screens should be uninterrupted. This is a gimmick that has fundamentally bad UX and should not last more than one iteration of the iPhone.
@@CristianASas Under the screen cameras - Bad image quality, popup cameras - "What if the motors broke?", and most prevalent of them all: cut-outs. We've all got complains about that front facing camera, what if we just removed it altogether? LOL. Personally, I'd take a popup camera over both of these any day. For someone like me who rarely uses the front camera, having the entire screen for yourself is such a blessing.

So I’m upgrading from my dinosaur of a phone, the iPhone 6s. It’s finally giving out, but has served me well. I’ll be getting the iPhone 14, and I feel like I’m not going to know what to do with it because it’s so much more advanced, lol. Looking forward to enjoying better battery life, and the new camera. Thanks for the review, was very helpful!
The 14 will give you more mileage than your 6s, thats the funny part. Phones are like cars now, just choose what ya like. Whatever the hell is in that a16 is enough to go for longer than the 6s which came out in 2015.
I’d recommend the iPhone 13, just because of the same processor. I think the 14 has a slightly better camera with the new video feature and the crash protection. For me personally wouldn’t be enough, I’d rather pay the $100 less for the 13.
I have the 11 and will be getting the 15 pro max when it comes out… my 11 is giving up early bc I’m clumsy & it has taken 2 trips to the toilet 🤦🏾♀️ think it would have survived me waiting for the 16 if I could have keep it in my hands more

Just upgraded from an XR and it’s totally worth it. Could’ve got another 2 years out of the XR or even more, but my battery degraded to 80% of it’s original capacity and the phone started to feel a bit sluggish. The 14 pro is (obviously) so much better and a worthwhile upgrade.
@@brycemcmillian1519 ok but how about the fact that it's a copied outdated feature and now you suddenly want to stop a war? First of all how is a dynamic punchout better ergonomically? You'd always need to use both hands. Samsung has the best single-handed use experience and a minimal punchout. This war has a clear winner.
Dynamic island is definitely more functional than the notch, but in my opinion it's even more invasive than the notch. I don't think smartphone manufacturer's will copy this feature. The whole idea is to get as much screen real estate as possible, and the dynamic island is in the opposite direction of that goal. My 12 Pro Max works perfectly fine, I don't see this year as worth it for an upgrade, not until we at least get USB-C

I am SO excited to get this phone. I’ve got it ordered and it’s on the way, I got a gold 256GB Pro and it should be here in a few days and I’ve never been more genuinely excited for a phone. Upgrading from an 11 so it’s kind of a substantial upgrade you could say.
I just upgraded from my 12 Pro Max. The Dynamic Island sold it for me. Good on Apple for making the notch useful. I picked up the new purple. It looks a lot better in person and better than the lavender. I’m throwing a case on it anyways so it’s not a big deal what color I got. The Crash Detection was another thing that sold me on this phone. I hope I’ll never have to use it but I’m glad I have it since I don’t have OnStar.
All they did was move the notch down. Crash detection? Again not that impressive. This is the same sh*t as the 12 PM and 13 PM. You basically just got a slightly better 12 PM.
I also have the 12PM and was wondering if they fixed the overheating problem which causes the screen to drop its brightness, also I've heard they lowered the charging capability distance on the 12PM, is that better now? I like to put my phone on my motorcycle while riding and the screen even though turned up to max, it lowers the brightness to save on over-heating.
@@jamescash887That’s your opinion not mine. I normally wait several years before upgrading. To me, this was worth the upgrade. Besides, I had a great early upgrade deal from Verizon that I wasn’t going to pass up.
Correct me if i’m wrong, but i thought Cinematic mode was already 30fps when it was introduced with the iphone 13 pro? The new cinematic mode now supports 24fps! Which i’m happy about ;)

A lot of people keep saying this but the swipe from top to bottom for the notification screen or control center creates fingerprints already. We are using touch screen devices. And also since they are touch screens it would be nice to have the fingerprint scanner back if it can be put behind the screen. Im sick of needing to pick my phone up to unlock it and to enter any number digit code to unlock it is also inconvenient.
@@R0CB0TT0M you might as well be right. however, the swipes from top to bottom for notifications are usually done from the right side (if you are right-handed) and not from the center. therefore this leaves less dirt in the camera sensor area

I’m upgrading to the 14 pro max from an XS Max. It feels worth it to me, so aside from the newest stuff I’ll be getting double the storage, MagSafe, a new case design and so on. But I can totally see how if you’re on an 11-13 it might be less worth it. Great video as always!
this is what i’m doing and i’m so keen 😁 i think you’re right tho - upgrading from a 11-13 to a 14 would be much less dramatic than upgrading from an xs max
@@isabelleshakespeare4129 I’m upgrading from a base model 11, still feeling it will just about be worth it for the new camera and having all day battery life once more.
Not updating this year but i absolutely love how Apple went and made something out of the Pill/hole punch. So the notch was done, new displays have hole/pill punch but instead of leaving at that they built this cool feature. As if no one will copy it and every should copy it, such a simple idea, it's great!
I'll be honest; I hope Android phones don't receive the "Dynamic Island." It works for the iPhone because the notch is quite large compared to most Android phones; however, I feel it's not necessary for Androids, and it may even be a con.
Absolutely, we don't want Android to have that ugly ass notch thing going on again.....we have our pro Androids really a beast with some stunning edge to edge displays and awesome viewing experience..... Netflix is so terrible in iphone notch
Regarding touch sensitivity I would actually assume there is no difference between the dynamic island and the screen. Did you test that? It's much easier to just make everything a touch screen because it's not the pixels that detect the touch but a separate layer on top. Can't really think of any drawbacks of putting that layer across the whole screen.
It’s actually a layer under the glass, some refer to it as a digitizer but all it does is use the electric conductivity from your finger to detect touch
On old iPhones (4S specifically) you could actually see the digitizer layer if you tilted your phone. Maybe putting it across the cutout could interfere with the sensors or camera underneath.

The dynamic island is pretty slick, not ground breaking but just something to add more brand identity to the iPhone. I like it, “we’re not getting rid of the notch, we’re gonna make it do stuff!”
Yeah ok, but it's outdatedly huge and actions that high on your screen is unergonomic (watch the videos you'll always need to use two hands)... Please mark my words, they will make it smaller in next generation. Why not get a smaller cutout now, plus a UI that is way more friendly for single-handed use. This iPhone is overrated and outdated, already now.
@@danielimmortuos666, the reason they do it is because some people will buy anything and Apple will do all it can to delay the fact that the front facing camera module will get smaller in next generations to sell it as innovation. The question is why some people won't upgrade to that definite future now, with already existing timeless phones.
i went from the 5 to the 10 and i was gonna wait for the 15 but that space black really reminded my of my favourite design and colour (slate black 5) so i ended up buying the 14 pro. Definitely feels like a great update for me and again, really love the darkness of the black, especially on the stainless steel band.
5k geekbench score is in the gaming laptop performance territory. As a Samsung S21 ultra user, i'm pretty jealous of that and wish android could even get near. But i'm loving the gestures and swipe from edge to do multiple things on android, if someday iPhone has that, I'm definitely switching!

I was fully expecting Apple to push out their version of Google's "Real Tone" camera improvements. Kind of disappointing that they can't seem to be bothered to put significant effort into improving exposure for all skin tones.
The always on display being in color is an odd choice. I was really excited about it but I thought it would be like the pixel or moto X where it just had small, white/grey icons on a black background to sip battery. I’ll give it a shot when mine shows up but.. probably end up turning it off sadly. What I love about always on displays was that it means I can check my notifications at a glance rather than having to grab my phone and look and pull me away from work
You should do more research but f it, I'll tell you anyway. There are different filters you can use for the always on display and one of them is black and white. The 14 pros also have 1 to 120hz refresh rate displays now so the always on display sips battery unlike android phones before variable refresh rate displays. All in all, you're good to go when it comes to having an always on display on the new iPhone pro models.
Since you need to have all 3 subpixels on (red, green and blue) to generate white or grey, showing color should in theory use less battery. In reality it'll be negligible though.
A free hint to Apple, should they have just inserted a nice colourful diode as in Android that would blink on notifications, this would have been better than AOD and people would gladly talk about this as well.
Great video! I think folks with an iPhone 11 or older would benefit with the upgrade like Marques said but in no way do I feel like I need the upgrade from my 13 Pro. Honestly I think I'm not budging until they bring USB-C ports into the iPhone. The 48MP camera is a gimmick as it's still really a 12MP final pic for most users. "Dynamic Island" is a cool concept but it didn't really make it a game changer. iOS 16 is great and I'm very happy with the features on my current phone. Love the customizable lock screens and changes they made to the notifications. You don't need the 14 to see those updates. Here's hoping the iPhone 15 finally brings the USB-C port so it doesn't take forever to get a video off of the iPhone.
@Bob Wangson You think people don’t do that? Some like having the latest greatest (myself included). The fact even I don’t feel the need to upgrade is saying how minor this new phone is.
@@Battlecry45 Yeah for sure! It seems like as time goes by, these iPhone updates are more and more minor. Now you can wait 2-3 generations before upgrading. Maybe not bad but the final upgrade is USB-C.

I dont hate the Dynamic Island. However, I think Samsungs OneUI approach that tries to put as many controls as possible under your thumb makes more sense. I dont like having to use both hands or do an awkward gesture across the whole display just to switch something.
Exactly. I don't think that moving everything to the very top on progressively larger displays is a good move, unless they're trying to get you to use both hands all the time
As always, solid review! I’m also not a fan of the always on display. The iPhone struggles with battery power as it is with frequent use, so I’ll be turning it off. It seems Dynamic Island is the real selling point for this new generation and I expect it to be a mainstay from here on out. Looking forward to having fun with it. Hopefully they’ll add a feature to customize the Dynamic Island pill in the future.
Dude I know! For a half decade now, I’ve been expecting them to continue to gradually shrink the notch as they did from the 12th generation to the 13th, until it was all screen. Now seeing all the effort and whimsical functionality they’ve designed around this “island”, I’d be down for this to become a permanent mainstay on all future iPhones if it really performs as well as it looks!
@@medz3398 I game a lot with it. Maybe, that’s the culprit. I’m also upgrading from a 12 pro to the 14 Pro. Hopefully, I should notice significant improvement with battery life. That doesn’t change the fact that I, personally, am not a fan of always on display, which shouldn’t deter you from using it if you’re in favor of the feature.
Actually the big pro max has the best battery life out of flagship smartphones currently in daily use. Check out battery life comparison videos, it blows literally all other phones out of the water with an hour or two more of daily use than the others if I remember correctly.
Definitely upgrading. A lot of people still use older models of the iPhone including me so this is a good time to upgrade to the 13 pro max or 14 pro max. Only problem on the 14 is the esim

Yo it's you
Nice, now tell us how much you hate apple
those intros getting ridiculous
Pajeet
I honestly think the Dynamic Island is just another one of the small marketing schemes that apple does that works so well. Even though there is still a notch, this new feature made it look new for most people.
its crazy when apple makes something the other brands follow truly shows how they play the market so well
I mean, the main idea is the software-hardware integration, not the pill shaped camera
It is new though. Not only a physical redesign, but incorporated into the software as a usable space. Not saying it’s anything incredible, but for early adopters it’s an awesome addition that has some cool benefits over previous designs
It’s a much smarter use of that space than a simple hole
Read my name guys not a bot 😂
I just upgraded to the 14 Pro w/512 from an 8 Plus w/64. Yep - an 8 and it was still working with some inconvenience but worked fine. 14 is wicked fast …. From what I had.
Thinking about the same but with an 8(64), the battery is nearing its final days. Just don’t know how I’ll manage without the home button😂
It's amazing how some features like 'Car crash detection' seems so simple for people but I think this might have made the engineers and designers scratch their head to make it precise.

With Apple being late to it, I'm sure they were able to copy a lot of Google's R&D to get themselves pretty close starting points. Pixel's have had it since the Pixel 3 with no reports of false triggers

Nothing important to upgrade even from 12 pro max.. Wait for 15....
My pixel 4a has it lol.
I used to own an LG G4 as a middle schooler, and no matter how many impressive phones I see, I just can't get over how ahead of its time that phone was. Couple features that have since been introduced to iPhones are the back of the phone taps, front screen tap to wake up, always on display, default weather animations, and the "dynamic island." and absolutely AMAZING camera quality as well. Honestly as a South Korean myself, kinda bummed that my childhood smartphone is never coming back.
Interestingly, a lot of those features go even further back - the Nokia N9 from 2011 had an always on display, tap to wake and other crazy innovations! It’s super cool to see features like that evolve over time :)
The G3 was even more ahead of its time
Man, I *loved* my G4 until I got the bootloop issue, got it replaced and then within a year the battery life just went to absolute shit. LG innovated like crazy but they had so many issues that just made a lot of their phones unreliable and even when those issues got resolved they never managed to recover from it.
i still use an LG G7 for the stellar (relatively, for a phone) headphone amp, and its a decent phone still up to this day. LG phones are underrated and underappreciated
in marketing apple company leads i don't realy know what happend to LG company but they were ahead of their time
With the dynamic island - I'm wondering if the 'touch' will interfere with the physical sensors / cameras? The complete omission of updates to Siri continues to surprise me. Great review overall Markus - you make awesome content.
no it wont interfere with the physical sensors/ camera
What are you talking about Siri will answer any question by referring you to a web encyclopedia or pop culture reference
i like how they made IOS 16, more "one hand friendly" on the lock screen. Moving notifications to the bottom. But then make EVERYTHING go to the very top so its almost impossible to one hand it because of this "dynamic Island". However i like the implementation and idea.
Agreed. They confirmed that moving everything to the bottom is much better for reachability by releasing IOS 16, but then had to move interactions IN THE SAME MOMENT to the top for the iPhone 14 pro? It’s hilarious how people don’t realize how stupid it is. It may look kinda cool, but it’s by no means a “feature” that couldn’t have been done at the bottom 🤷🏽♂️ On top of that, the island is placed much lower than a normal notch. For me, that alone makes the pro version inferior.
@@maxkick7656 this has to be the worst take I’ve ever seen
YES. EXACTLY what I have been telling everyone who's having orgasms since the release smhhh.
I agree but it definitely took some getting used to.
form over function, exactly the kind of move apple would make
The smoothness of the animations is what makes the Dynamic Island so interesting. They did a fantastic job with iPhone 14 Pro's software!

Apple freaks are such delusional clowns.
Android did it first lol

Just upgraded from my iPhone SE 2nd gen. Battery life increase is a game changer. Pro motion is a game changer. Screen size is a game changer. Camera system is a game changer. Dynamic island is neat. IPhone SE feels like the first iPhone now
Use the iPhone 1 for a week lmao
This is cool, a very good and understandable upgrade. I never understand why people upgrade every new release though, especially since nowadays the differences between last and new gen iPhones are barely noticeable
I think it might be better if the dynamic island can display notifications as well, like the notification just pops out from the pill instead of a separate box like the one shown in the video
coming to iphone 18
You could change what it included and even rolling different features. Hey, it's iPhone, what you thinking? For that price, it shows your friends girlfriend secrets, what he even haven't seen, if he uses some android.
Do you mean something similar to Samsung's brief notification popup? If so, then yeah, it would be cool to see something like that pop outta the pill.

As an 11Pro user I considered upgrading but decided to hold off for now. One thing I liked about apples new update was that you can use your iPhone camera on your Mac for better quality and the whole top down view (still don’t get how it works but that’s super cool). That’s one thing I want to learn more about.
same, i'll wait for the 15pro
Interesting! I want to look into that too. I still have the iPhone 7plus, and I will likely upgrade next year. I wonder if Apple will sell app suites, a collection of apps with a subscription fee. & I wonder if Apple will create irl membership perks, based on the iPhones you own.
Next year will have Usbc too 😊
Dont upgarde till 17
Don’t feel obligated to upgrade frequently. To apple’s credit, iPhones from the 6s on have had really long lifespans. I didn’t upgrade my 6s to a 12 until April
Many reviewers bash the always on display for being too bright and mistaken it for still being on. I switched from android to the iPhone 14 Pro space black and in combination with the Omber leather case and the standard background with the always on display, the phone looks really gorgeous on my desk. Give it a chance to get used to!
Where’d you get the case?
What does the case, color and background have to do with that?
he probably means the always on display looks good when its on the phone jus sitting there on the desk sort of thing
@@thomas.nd2 that all together is a great looking combination. Without the always on background it’s just a phone with a time stamp or black screen.

The funny thing with the dynamic island is that it clearly started out as a way to camouflage the notch yet they ended up making a complete feature out of it that could've been developed and implemented in the absence of a notch.
Yea, Android hardware is already heading towards no notch/invisible camera hole. I'd still enjoy an interactive notification bar like this! Competition is good.
@@user-qd4ec8nj9n really good

but nothing got displayed in the middle part, it just appears it uses the space efficiently
Meanwhile samsung has transparent oled over the camera. Samsung is like 5 years ahead of apple
Yeah for how small of a feature it seems, I love the dynamic island and am excited to see what the future holds for it.
it will get removed eventually is most likely the outcome knowing apple
i'm just wondering how much the Dynamic island actually add to the experience. i had to buy a new one because the old one died, but with IOS16 the whole island thing is pretty much the same, only now when you are watching something that pill is always going to be there. very annoying and wished they just kept it at the top of the screen
@@NonsensicalSpudz That’s a good thing?

I'm very curious if a rough rollercoaster would set off the crash detection. That is pretty much the only thing I think could trigger it without a real crash.
Theoretically a rollercoaster shouldn’t trigger it. Because the phone measures high g forces of a sudden stop. Which should be way higher than those of a rollercoaster or fast spinning. But thats just a guess. Im no expert.

I‘m sticking to my 11 Pro till the 15 series comes out, still very powerful and feels fresh after the iOS 16 update. Gonna wait for USB-C to finally come to iPhone.
Yes!
Watch them remove the port and say portless is the new future and more environmentally friendly or something. Just like removing the sim tray which I’m disappointed about.
Edit: changed sun to sim 😅
So I'm not the only one to see the improvement on the 11 Pro with iOS 16 and maybe I am wrong but even the battery lasts a little longer.
Every year I hear rumors of a USB c iPhone 😒
Their gonna remove the port instead
Its interesting, because Android seems to be focussing more on getting rid of the notch. I don’t know if it makes sense to copy apple or not, its a very apple thing, the ✨dynamic island✨
yup... thats not something to copy.... its a non sense
@T S how so u would take a notch over no notch lmao
Who want a big ass pill taking up a huge portion of their display.
They copy Apple every time which is why then even have notches in the first place.
That's what I commented just now. ZTE is leading the way with under display cameras, and I wasn't very hopeful cause they're not famous, but then Samsung started doing it with the fold, so I think we're good!
To me personally the true limit of the new camera is that they did not implement a 5x optical zoom. This is only partially replaced by cropping a more detailed 48mp photo but it still lacks for all those that like me don’t usually take photo of people.
The reason they didn’t implement a 5x optical zoom is because that amount requires dedicated periscope lenses technology. Its coming with the iPhone 15 pro ultra next year according to rumors. Digital zoom does not equal optical zoom. 3x optically is all you can achieve without need special side stacked lenses hardware.
Can we just appreciate the attention to detail and editing through out the vid these TikTok dancers that do nothing and put Minmal effort in they get millions millions of views but mkhbd is working in an environment that noT that many people watch but he still manages to clock millions of views

@@dcny69 you mean 13 lol

'Already having' a feature doesn't mean that it's equally good as Apple has implement it, just like Marques and the vast majority of reviewers have mention before.
And this time around the difference is not only software-wise, Apple has made a big upgrade to the accelerometer which lets it calculate massively more g-forces, making VASTLY more accurate and reliable for the detection of a crash.
It makes sense to have the multitasking features out of reach of the fingers. If the dynamic island was at the bottom of the phone, people would keep triggering it accidentally.
That said, I think that the intention wasn’t to design a new multitasking feature, but to make use of the new design in the best possible way.
Obviously, because it isn't a true multitasking solution. It only works with some apps that take advantage of it while running in the back. A lot of apps will never show up there. It's just a happy coincidence. If they intended for it to be a multitasking feature they would have marketed the hell out of it.
No, the intention is to divert from their incapability of making an under display camera by some sugar coating of the last year's cut out design
no it doesn't. having it right at the top middle is extremely hard to reach with one hand, especially if you have the bigger version. it's awkward at best and completely unreachable at worst if you have small hands
@@vongoreviews4628 Under display cameras are dogshit though. Why would Apple do it?
@@kevinjohnanand Ultimately, all Tech companies are aiming for a proper implementation of Under-display selfie camera as the notch/cut-out are not the answer for a full screen display. Personally, checked the latest Fold and Samsung is almost there with the under-display camera. In one or two generations, Samsung will perfect it.
Then Apple will release it naming it "Submarine Eye" or something like that
It’s cool what they did with the integration of hardware and software with the island…but honestly it seems more invasive than the notch. Wasn’t that the point of people wanting the notch removed? Granted I haven’t used it, but from everything I see it looks worse when watching a video/etc…I don’t think it will last long. I think it is just a stepping stone to completely removing it.
It’s definitely a stepping stone to completely removing it
When the notch first appeared, I though it would be more annoying that it actually turned out to be. Most video when viewed wide, doesn't go to the edges anyway, so no problem there. The UI had mostly been designed around it anyway, so again no major issues there. Dynamic Island just seems to call attention to this mole. I don't care for it. Maybe a mis-step like Touch Bar on the Mac?
The hole punch is fine, but I hope Apple gives an option to turn this "dynamic island" on and off. Also when a video plays, it'll be off by default.
They literally put a huge hole in the screen and everyone just went with it because they made a very nice software integration for it. Its ridiculous!
I personally think this is worse, you now have a black surface stretching further down into the screen. I’m happy it at least looks more aesthetic than before, but that’s all it really is, aesthetic- not productive. It’s a good job on the marketing team and that’s really it. I bet the design engineers argued the other way, but marketing was able to convince them otherwise.
I’m not happy about the esim only option. If my phone breaks I like the freedom of being able to just swap my sim into another phone and keep moving. This is a limitation that I find unnecessary.
It's prob Apple's play to get more money.
@@kevvvvj how?

MKBHD it's already been an year and nobody has copied that gimmicky dynamic Island stuff 😅
What about this one... oppo phone I think? It's not available in the USA and europe but still
My only concern with the dynamic island is that people will definately have a dump of fingerprints on their front cam and gotta clean their camera everytime they wanna take a selfie..
I hope this happens.
this exactly
How greasy are your hands 🤢
I clean it every time anyway
As an adult, I am capable of training myself to not touch the camera lens which is just a small part of the dynamic island.
Great review! I think I’ll stick with my iPhone 11 Pro Max for now. It’s still kicking on and this still doesn’t feel like enough of a change to upgrade. Really hoping the next version has a USB-C port now that the rules are changing in the UK.

The screen refresh rate is worth it to at least go for the 13 Pro
It’s mind bending that Apple still doesn’t offer real split-screen multitasking at least in their bigger Plus/ Max versions. That would be a real good reason for people to buy a heavier more expensive model. It would’ve been also nice, if the Pro versions supported the use of the Apple Pencil.
True, I find that feature extremely useful but I think it's more practical on tablets. On phones it's still good but not a feature that you would use frequently (on a phone).
Have no desire on my phone. I have an iPad/Macbook for that.
well it would be very well implemented because of devs optimising the apps for split screen on ios, but i dont think that many people would use this, only in a very few scenarios i actually find split screen useful on a phone
as someone with adhd I agree
I have no want for this feature, tried to use it on even the biggest of android phones since nougat, and it’s never worked or looked good
As a android user, I've been tempted by the battery life of the 13 pro's and now the 14 has actual solid improvements over the 13, but the one thing that just kills it all is the lightningport... Usb c is just so usefull to be able to charge your speaker, controller, headset, laptop and phone with 1 cable is amazing. Ashame that they think differently.
Wait for the iPhone 15 and hope to God it doesn't have the big ugly cutout and eSIM standard
Switching from Android to iPhone isn't a challenging process, the lighting port is a major issue to overcome. If you've got top of the line android and more familiar with it, stick with it.
There is still some years for that honestly. Sure, it will be permitted by law to have USB-C soon, but i still have some older products that have micro-USB ports. (Even some newer products still ship with that shit). So for now, they can get away with it.. hopefully just for the 14, USB-C is needed on the 15.
But in some years, it will be great to charge even your shaver or any eletrical device for that matter, with the same cable, not just the usual stuff.
Same on all counts. I can't even consider an iPhone because I'm not adding an ancient connector to my slowly unifying set of cables.
Hopefully they remove the port all together. I haven’t used my port on my 12 Pro and 13 Pro. Won’t be used on my 14 Pro neither. Everything have wireless charging now. Better water resistance.
The iFixit guys are awesome! I remember looking up their guides to figure out how to replace the battery on my Pixel 3A and it saved me from having to buy a new phone or having to pay a repair store
The fact that they made the glass back separate should mean much easier repairs too

@@vitalpandya7908 it means that it's a little bit easier to open up, but iPhones are notoriously anti right to repair. A perfect example is what they did to the camera module where they soldered a chip onto the camera module which makes it so that if you try to swap to identical camera modules on two identical iPhones, you'll end up experiencing glitchy behavior. You could technically desolder the chip off of the old camera module and solder it onto the new camera module to replace your broken one, but it's so difficult to do so that it's unviable for a repair shop to do that and charge a reasonable price. Apple likes to pose as if they are for people's rights or repair while they actually do everything they can to stop it so that you go and buy a new device since that is their main source of revenue.
@@amizan8653 so parts are matched up on the newer iPhones with serial numbers embedded into each component, it’s mostly to stop people using fake components for repairs and there are devices that you would plug the original and replacement screens/cameras etc and it will copy over the serial so that it functions properly

Marques Brownlee has been consistently great at what he does over the years. He's very passionate when talking about the advancements of technology in today's society. The newest iPhone release seems cool. I feel as though it doesn't differ too much from all the other past iPhones. Maybe the top notch has been replaced with Dynamic Island at the top that allows users to be more flexible with the device they're handling or using.

Great down to earth no BS review! As a current XS user who is ready to upgrade this battery challenged model, I am so looking forward to Friday’s delivery of the new 14 ProMax model.
I'm currently on an iPhone XS. This is my third one due to the back glass shattering, then the entire screen digitizer freaking out. I've had this phone for about 8 months. Before the second one failed, my USB-C to lightning cable broke so I was using a regular cable for the first 6 months of this iPhone. Two weeks into this phone I was at 92% maximum capacity. It slowed down and after 6 months I finally got another cable. By this point it was at 88%. I've had my new cable for two months ish and I'm still at 88%. That's like really backwards. Usually fast charging destroys phone batteries. Not the opposite. Anyway, since then my back camera glass AND main lens have shattered. Now that the new iPhone 14 Pro is out at the same price paid for this phone series in 2018, I'm REALLY tempted... No, I'm not tempted. I actually want it. Probably cause I'm tired of no back camera and 3-4 hours of battery life with on and off use. So yeah, I feel you as another iPhone XS user.
That's apple sheep for you. Two videos on iPhone but none even showing how bad it would looks like when watching video.

As an S22 plus user, I really only like the utility for the dynamic island for map directions, and though I'm sure more things will come later, I'll still prefer a non obstrusive hole punch.
On androids you can have a minimized version of google maps while you're in other apps or home screen
tbh I prefer thin bezel for camera, sensors, and speaker like the Note 9. Not sure why phone today keep racing to get the 99% screen coverage

A few years ago I made the decision of switching phones every 3-5 years (depends) and always going for the largest storage option available.. No regrets yet.
I’m still on the 8plus & there’s nothing that I’ve wished it had except a better battery life (bc mine is at 75% max capacity vs original capacity) & I recently cracked the screen after daily use since launch. So now I’m on the fence, upgrade to 14 pro, fix the screen/replace battery on my 8plus, or just get something like the 13 since it’s cheaper than the newest model. Don’t take/edit pics or vids & I legitimately only use social media apps, iMessage & what’s app.

The satellite connectivity is not just for emergency cases. I'm looking forward to testing it out. I do a lot of hiking and often times will be without cellular signal for days. I have a Garmin inReach mini that I have to pay a service fee for that lets me send texts via satellite and also send SOS in case of an actual emergency. Thankfully I have never had to send the SOS, but the ability to update my wife and family each night that I'm OK, or if we get off schedule, etc. and send a GPS location to show we are on track is priceless and provides peace of mind. Can't wait too see if this new iPhone feature can replace the need to bring an inReach along.
On paper, you're safe with just using the iPhone for your satellite purposes. That said, when it comes to a potential life or death situations, a little redundancy never hurt anyone lol
The insane aspect is really how this iPhone 14 makes my over 3year old S10 look so futuristic with its minor bezel and single hole punch camera.

I loved the v10 with that double screen which led me survive an entire year in college without a laptop. The main screen was enormous, and as lg’s QSlide apps feature can draw applets over other apps like a window, it made the phone very dependable for serious work, especially things like calculator. It was my only device during my first year at college - all assignments, done all video editing, made reports, PPTs, designs with just that phone as I didn’t have a laptop. It was a bummer when they discontinued it after v20, I now have an iPhone 13 but it’s nowhere near how v10 used to be in fluid multitasking on a mobile device. The second screen used to intelligently show the most important apps/ functions I needed to switch, more like a companion, and if needed there was always QSlide apps to do some quick jotting or calculation without getting out of the current screen. It was like a live companion which was actually useful, I used to wonder why it disappeared when the phones became all screen.
Also worth mentioning was the desktop class files app it had which was miles ahead of the crappy files app I have on my iPhone. All my assignments and books were sorted in that phone exactly how I needed it to be.
As a salesman for Verizon, not looking forward to the eSIM only part. eSIM’s have been highly problematic in my experience.

Great review!! I’m interested to see how the dynamic island evolves over time. Apple implemented the “Reachability” feature to assist with accessing menu items at the top of the screen. The dynamic island feature goes against that entirely. So I’m definitely interested to see how it evolves and how users feel about it after the honeymoon phase is over.
Good point about reachability. I guess when using the pro max, you’ll only be interacting with the island when holding the phone with two hands.

I'm more interested in seeing it absolutely gone. There's nothing to evolve. People should stop romanticizing cutouts in screens, just because they added some fancy animation around them. Screens should be uninterrupted. This is a gimmick that has fundamentally bad UX and should not last more than one iteration of the iPhone.
@@CristianASas Under the screen cameras - Bad image quality, popup cameras - "What if the motors broke?", and most prevalent of them all: cut-outs. We've all got complains about that front facing camera, what if we just removed it altogether? LOL.

So I’m upgrading from my dinosaur of a phone, the iPhone 6s. It’s finally giving out, but has served me well. I’ll be getting the iPhone 14, and I feel like I’m not going to know what to do with it because it’s so much more advanced, lol. Looking forward to enjoying better battery life, and the new camera. Thanks for the review, was very helpful!
The 14 will give you more mileage than your 6s, thats the funny part. Phones are like cars now, just choose what ya like. Whatever the hell is in that a16 is enough to go for longer than the 6s which came out in 2015.
If you don't upgrade for another eight generations like you did with your 6, that means your next one will be the iPhone 22.
I’d recommend the iPhone 13, just because of the same processor. I think the 14 has a slightly better camera with the new video feature and the crash protection. For me personally wouldn’t be enough, I’d rather pay the $100 less for the 13.
I'm currently using an iPhone 7. I wanted to upgrade to the iPhone 14 Pro, bit will be waiting for the iPhone 15 because it will be getting USB-C
Currently on a 13 as of a few months ago (had a 7 before), the biggest/most notable improvement for me has definitely been the battery life.
I haven’t gotten a new phone since the 11. Waiting 3-4 years really makes all the small improvement add up and actually feel like a new phone.
literally, i had my iphone 11 for 3 years and i upgraded
I also still have iPhone 11. Might actually go for iPhone 14 pro.
I have the 11 and will be getting the 15 pro max when it comes out… my 11 is giving up early bc I’m clumsy & it has taken 2 trips to the toilet 🤦🏾♀️ think it would have survived me waiting for the 16 if I could have keep it in my hands more

Dynamic island is definitely more functional than the notch, but in my opinion it's even more invasive than the notch. I don't think smartphone manufacturer's will copy this feature. The whole idea is to get as much screen real estate as possible, and the dynamic island is in the opposite direction of that goal.

I am SO excited to get this phone. I’ve got it ordered and it’s on the way, I got a gold 256GB Pro and it should be here in a few days and I’ve never been more genuinely excited for a phone. Upgrading from an 11 so it’s kind of a substantial upgrade you could say.
I just upgraded from my 12 Pro Max. The Dynamic Island sold it for me. Good on Apple for making the notch useful. I picked up the new purple. It looks a lot better in person and better than the lavender. I’m throwing a case on it anyways so it’s not a big deal what color I got. The Crash Detection was another thing that sold me on this phone. I hope I’ll never have to use it but I’m glad I have it since I don’t have OnStar.
All they did was move the notch down. Crash detection? Again not that impressive. This is the same sh*t as the 12 PM and 13 PM. You basically just got a slightly better 12 PM.
I also have the 12PM and was wondering if they fixed the overheating problem which causes the screen to drop its brightness, also I've heard they lowered the charging capability distance on the 12PM, is that better now? I like to put my phone on my motorcycle while riding and the screen even though turned up to max, it lowers the brightness to save on over-heating.

I think a big cons of the dynamic Island is that it forces you to touch it continuously, thus dirtying the camera sensor below
ur joking right? 💀
A lot of people keep saying this but the swipe from top to bottom for the notification screen or control center creates fingerprints already. We are using touch screen devices. And also since they are touch screens it would be nice to have the fingerprint scanner back if it can be put behind the screen. Im sick of needing to pick my phone up to unlock it and to enter any number digit code to unlock it is also inconvenient.
@@R0CB0TT0M you might as well be right. however, the swipes from top to bottom for notifications are usually done from the right side (if you are right-handed) and not from the center. therefore this leaves less dirt in the camera sensor area

Regarding touch sensitivity I would actually assume there is no difference between the dynamic island and the screen. Did you test that? It's much easier to just make everything a touch screen because it's not the pixels that detect the touch but a separate layer on top. Can't really think of any drawbacks of putting that layer across the whole screen.
It’s actually a layer under the glass, some refer to it as a digitizer but all it does is use the electric conductivity from your finger to detect touch
@@joshcarrasquillo852 yes, it's between the screen and the glass. Thought that was clear
On old iPhones (4S specifically) you could actually see the digitizer layer if you tilted your phone. Maybe putting it across the cutout could interfere with the sensors or camera underneath.

The dynamic island is pretty slick, not ground breaking but just something to add more brand identity to the iPhone. I like it, “we’re not getting rid of the notch, we’re gonna make it do stuff!”
I like the dynamic island idea, however I think it's really bad for the user experience as you cant really use it one handed then
The only real reason Apple won’t get rid of the notch is because it makes the iPhone stand out imho
Yeah ok, but it's outdatedly huge and actions that high on your screen is unergonomic (watch the videos you'll always need to use two hands)... Please mark my words, they will make it smaller in next generation. Why not get a smaller cutout now, plus a UI that is way more friendly for single-handed use.
This iPhone is overrated and outdated, already now.
@@danielimmortuos666, the reason they do it is because some people will buy anything and Apple will do all it can to delay the fact that the front facing camera module will get smaller in next generations to sell it as innovation.

You should do more research but f it, I'll tell you anyway.
There are different filters you can use for the always on display and one of them is black and white.
The 14 pros also have 1 to 120hz refresh rate displays now so the always on display sips battery unlike android phones before variable refresh rate displays.
All in all, you're good to go when it comes to having an always on display on the new iPhone pro models.
@@thetechrealist huh?
Since you need to have all 3 subpixels on (red, green and blue) to generate white or grey, showing color should in theory use less battery. In reality it'll be negligible though.

A free hint to Apple, should they have just inserted a nice colourful diode as in Android that would blink on notifications, this would have been better than AOD and people would gladly talk about this as well.
Great video! I think folks with an iPhone 11 or older would benefit with the upgrade like Marques said but in no way do I feel like I need the upgrade from my 13 Pro. Honestly I think I'm not budging until they bring USB-C ports into the iPhone. The 48MP camera is a gimmick as it's still really a 12MP final pic for most users. "Dynamic Island" is a cool concept but it didn't really make it a game changer. iOS 16 is great and I'm very happy with the features on my current phone. Love the customizable lock screens and changes they made to the notifications. You don't need the 14 to see those updates. Here's hoping the iPhone 15 finally brings the USB-C port so it doesn't take forever to get a video off of the iPhone.
@Bob Wangson You think people don’t do that? Some like having the latest greatest (myself included). The fact even I don’t feel the need to upgrade is saying how minor this new phone is.
11 pro owner here, i can wait.
Gimme type c, a *real* new SoC and… i dont know… a smaller dynamic island maybe…
@@Battlecry45 Yeah for sure! It seems like as time goes by, these iPhone updates are more and more minor. Now you can wait 2-3 generations before upgrading. Maybe not bad but the final upgrade is USB-C.
@@marksaxon every phone is minor look at the 5 to the 7 all they did was make the screen bigger and flatten the phone and add another camera
@@silent6snipes135 Adding an additional camera is kind of a bigger deal rather than a slightly lower f stop but I get your point.
I used to own the V10 and when I saw the dynamic island, mentally I immediately thought of the V10.
Thank you for that inclusion. I miss that phone
LG did it first so it doesn't count. 🙄

I don't understand why they removed noise cancellation since iPhone 13.... It was such a cool feature. Every new phone instead of iPhones has that.
Noise cancellation for what exactly?
@@BridgeBoii It mutes ambient noises during the call. Since iPhone 13 everyone hears where you at or what you're doing. E.g. people I talk with always hear my silent keyboard, and they say I'm not focused on the conversation because I write...
@@jaworq ohhhh I didn’t even know that. So they probably aren’t going to bring it back right?
@@BridgeBoii they not going to bring back noise cancellation for 5G devices that’s what I’ve heard
It’s Apple. They have to remove something every time
I think the crash detection would not be accidentally triggered because it senses sudden changes in the g force, and that amount of g force is rarely reached in our everyday activities
Do you think that by chance if someone drops their phone a few stories it’ll trigger a call?
yea and afaik it triggers only when in driving mode? pretty sure it’s on the intro video
@@rogerthat9230 they must differentiate a vertical and horizontal movement

I dont hate the Dynamic Island. However, I think Samsungs OneUI approach that tries to put as many controls as possible under your thumb makes more sense. I dont like having to use both hands or do an awkward gesture across the whole display just to switch something.
Exactly. I don't think that moving everything to the very top on progressively larger displays is a good move, unless they're trying to get you to use both hands all the time

As always, solid review! I’m also not a fan of the always on display. The iPhone struggles with battery power as it is with frequent use, so I’ll be turning it off. It seems Dynamic Island is the real selling point for this new generation and I expect it to be a mainstay from here on out. Looking forward to having fun with it. Hopefully they’ll add a feature to customize the Dynamic Island pill in the future.
Dude I know! For a half decade now, I’ve been expecting them to continue to gradually shrink the notch as they did from the 12th generation to the 13th, until it was all screen. Now seeing all the effort and whimsical functionality they’ve designed around this “island”, I’d be down for this to become a permanent mainstay on all future iPhones if it really performs as well as it looks!
What? The iPhone 13 Pro Max has one of the best batteries out
I to don’t get the struggling with battery life thing myself. What are you doing, jumping cars with it or something.
@@medz3398 I game a lot with it. Maybe, that’s the culprit. I’m also upgrading from a 12 pro to the 14 Pro. Hopefully, I should notice significant improvement with battery life. That doesn’t change the fact that I, personally, am not a fan of always on display, which shouldn’t deter you from using it if you’re in favor of the feature.
Actually the big pro max has the best battery life out of flagship smartphones currently in daily use. Check out battery life comparison videos, it blows literally all other phones out of the water with an hour or two more of daily use than the others if I remember correctly.
Definitely upgrading. A lot of people still use older models of the iPhone including me so this is a good time to upgrade to the 13 pro max or 14 pro max. Only problem on the 14 is the esim
Come to Canada for your new 14. Canada model will have physical sim.
You can import from other countries though

I came from a galaxy s4 then a iPhone 6s + and now I upgraded to the 14 pro
Good review. Looks like I will be keeping my Iphone 11 for another year! I want something game changing not just slight upgrades to battery life, performance, and camera quality. I think/hope that the Iphone 15 will be something totally different!
Good choice to be honest if you see my comparison video there are minor 7 New features and 4 very minor improvements that it! lol
We’ve reached peak smartphone. All manufacturers a making small incremental updates year by year. Apple is no exception

Yes I think the 15 will be the next big jump.
