Apple CEO Tim Cook unveiled the new iPhone 14. It comes in two new versions, each in two sizes-the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus.
Both have 6.1-inch versions in addition to the larger 6.7-inch versions, which are marketed as "Plus."
Features of the basic iPhone 14 include:
OLED display .
Five colors, including blue, space black, silver, gold and dark purple.
Improved battery life.
Ceramic more durable screens
Better low-light performance on the front camera
A security service called Emergency SOS via satellite, which can connect to emergency services even if the user is out of cellular or Wi-Fi range.
The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus retain much of the iPhone 13 design, including a cutout for the phone's selfie camera and Face ID sensors. The iPhone 14 models for the U.S. will not have a physical SIM card tray; they will only use eSIM.
The 14 Plus model claims to offer the best battery life of any iPhone. Both models still offer last year's A15 Bionic chipset, a major change for Apple, which usually introduces a new processor every year to be used throughout the iPhone lineup.
The front-facing camera has a wide-angle and a new 12-megapixel main camera with an f / 1.5 aperture and sensor-based stabilization. Apple claims a 49% improvement in low-light image quality, and night mode will now be twice as fast. There's also a new 12-megapixel TrueDepth camera with full-area autofocus.
The iPhone 14 will cost $799 and the Plus will cost $899. Pre-orders will begin Sept. 9, with the smaller version going on sale Sept. 16. However, the Plus model will not appear in stores until October.
