This cycle can make it tough to pinpoint when you should upgrade. The iPhone 14 Pro falls prey to this trap, cementing itself as an outstanding phone, but a question mark in the upgrade department.<\/p>\n<p>To put it shortly: if you just picked up the iPhone 13 or 13 Pro, I\u2019d stick with it. The iPhone 14 Pro brings a few new elements to the table, like the dynamic island and an Always-On Display (AOD), but I think these features could use a year or two to establish a real base of use cases and create a \u201cmust-upgrade\u201d handset.<\/p>\n<div class=\"review-card-body-inline fullwidth\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like\"><\/span>Here&#8217;s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>120Hz, Always-On Display<\/li>\n<li>Fantastic camera set<\/li>\n<li>All-day battery life<\/li>\n<li>Workhorse of a processor<\/li>\n<li>Feels great in your hand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Costs an arm and a leg<\/li>\n<li>Can stick with the 13 Pro<\/li>\n<li>No USB-C port yet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reviews-blurb\">How-To Geek&#8217;s expert reviewers go hands-on with each product we review.

Compare the iPhone 6 to the iPhone XS, and you can see a clear trend in the direction Apple\u2019s handsets move. More screen real estate, fewer buttons, and a wider variety of color options (save for a few outliers like the budget <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/793753\/apple-iphone-se-2022-review-annoyingly-great\/\">iPhone SE).<\/p>\n<p>This extends to the iPhone 14 Pro, albeit in subtle ways. While the smartphone features the same 6.1-inch display as its predecessor, it does away with the infamous camera notch in favor of a new feature coined the \u201cDynamic Island\u201d (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#moka_anchor_dynamic\">more on this later<\/a>).<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-848820\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/iphone-14-pro-on-desk-edge-2.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"iPhone 14 Pro resting on edge of desk\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Marcus Mears III \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Other than the notch replacement and the addition of a Deep Purple color scheme (as seen in this review), the iPhone 14 Pro looks largely the same as the iPhone 13 Pro that came before it. You still have three rear-facing camera lenses for various shot types (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#moka_anchor_camera\">discussed in a later section<\/a>), one power and two volume buttons, and a silent mode switch. The bottom of the phone, much to many\u2019s dismay, still lacks the presence of a USB-C port in favor of Apple\u2019s Lightning connection, though this will reportedly be phased out by autumn 2024.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re an established iPhone user, you may notice something that\u2019s already been phased out (in the United States): the SIM card tray. Nowadays, all you need to do is set up eSIM and forget the little card that used to slot into the side of your smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>Onto the display: one of the first things I noticed when using the iPhone 14 Pro was how buttery smooth the 120Hz display is. I\u2019ve talked about refresh rates a number of times, but if you haven\u2019t used anything higher than 60Hz, you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re missing out on. Is this a make-or-break addition to the phone? No, but you\u2019ll certainly <em>feel<\/em> like you\u2019re using something new and improved, which is nothing to scoff at.<\/p>\n<p>Most media, including <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> videos, Hulu <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>, and the likes run at 60FPS or even lower\u2014meaning you won\u2019t make full use of the available refresh rate. However, pop into iMessage, navigate Safari, or play your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s, and you\u2019ll see the benefits immediately (as long as you have \u201cLimit Frame Rate\u201d disabled in the Accessibility settings).<\/p>\n<p>Refresh rate aside, the iPhone 14 Pro\u2019s Super Retina XDR display is just as beautiful as Apple\u2019s smartphones always are, and now you can see more of it. With the Always-On Display, your iPhone shows you your notifications, weather alerts, date\/time, and widgets at a glance. No need to wake your iPhone first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWon\u2019t this drain my battery?\u201d Yes and no. It <em>does\u00a0<\/em>use up some battery life, but the 14 Pro takes some precautions to make sure it doesn\u2019t chew through a full charge before you need to use your phone.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"admonishment_note\"><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> You can always turn off the iPhone 14 Pro\u2019s Always-On Display if you so choose.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First, the display\u2019s refresh rate will drop to 10Hz, rather than the 120Hz it\u2019s capable of. This is a huge performance and therefore battery saver. The screen\u2019s brightness will also fall to the lowest setting. Combined with sparingly little processing power used and few on-screen updates, the Always-On tech barely makes a dent in your battery. And, if you\u2019re still worried, I recommend investing in a wireless charger to keep your smartphone near 100% all day long.<\/p>\n<p>Since this phone costs well over $1,000, I\u2019d strongly consider protecting it from accidental drops and the elements with an iPhone 14 Pro case. There\u2019s no shortage of Apple- and third-party-brand options to choose from, and if you ask me, it\u2019s better to have one that you never need rather than wish you had one when it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dynamic_Island\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_dynamic\">Dynamic Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Dynamic Island, successor of the camera notch, is the most apparent change present in the iPhone 14 Pro from previous models. Frankly, it\u2019s <em>neat\u00a0<\/em>as it stands, but feels more like a gimmick than a core functionality. Sure, you can see what you\u2019re listening to or how long you have left on your timer at a glance (which is nice), but I found myself forgetting it was there for me to use.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few different ways to interact with the Island. Say you have a YouTube video running in the background; you can tap the Dynamic Island to bring the video to the forefront, or tap and hold the Island to expand media controls. If you have more than one Dynamic Island-enabled app running at a time (say, YouTube and a Clock timer), they\u2019ll display side by side for you to control either or.<\/p>\n<p>As more apps fuse with the Dynamic Island, I can see it becoming a useful tool for cutting down on notifications and exercising quick controls. Right now, I can take it or leave it (though it does look better than the stagnant camera notch.)<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance_The_A16_Bionic_Chip_Doesnt_Mess_Around\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">Performance: The A16 Bionic Chip Doesn\u2019t Mess Around<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-848818\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/iphone-14-pro-display-on-desk-2.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"iPhone 14 Pro resting on desk with display on\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Marcus Mears III \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<strong>A16 Bionic Chip:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6-core CPU, 2 performance &amp; 4 efficiency cores<\/li>\n<li>5-core GPU<\/li>\n<li>16-core Neural Engine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>When it comes to iPhones, if you\u2019re going Pro, you\u2019re expecting performance.

I downloaded Google Chrome and opened 31 tabs, all leading to different sites. I left them open in the background and swapped over to <em>PokerStars Play\u00a0<\/em>for some Texas Hold \u2019em. I played a few hands and left it open in the background. I checked the Weather app to see a mostly cloudy day with a high of 80 degrees. You can probably sense the pattern, I left it open and hopped to another app (YouTube, to catch up on the latest in tech).<\/p>\n<p>With all of my daily drivers open in the background at the same time and way more Chrome tabs than I\u2019d use at once, I could still hear the 14 Pro laughing as if to say \u201cis that all you got?\u201d It felt just as smooth as if I\u2019d had a single app open.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m confident the iPhone 14 Pro can handle almost anything you throw at it, whether it\u2019s photo and video editing software, resource-hungry games, or 50 tabs of documentation, research, and entertainment.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Storage_More_Than_Enough\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Storage: More Than Enough<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Available storage options:<\/strong> 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The iPhone 14 Pro features the same storage levels we\u2019ve seen since the 2021 Pro line, starting at 128GB and scaling to 1TB.

Take Cinematic Mode or the Wide lens\u2019 quad-pixel sensor and optical image stabilization for examples. Features like these feel unique to iPhone and give your photos a crisp, personalized look that will leave you asking \u201cdid these photos really come from a smartphone?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I was particularly impressed with the level of quality when using 2x or even 3x zoom\u2014iPhone photos of the past would quickly become grainy and washed out the further you zoomed in, but the iPhone 14 Pro holds up like a champ. This is perfect for being your family\u2019s number-one fan at sporting events, capturing nature shots, and just about anything else you want to get closer to.<\/p>\n<p>And if you want to get further away from the subject? Give the 0.5x zoom a try, a feature I\u2019ve had fun playing around with. This gives your shots a wider FOV, allowing you to capture an almost panoramic-like photo of your surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also have access to all the bells and whistles, of course. Take slo-mo shots of rain cascading off a tin roof, Cinematic Mode shots of movie-esque events, or flip to the front camera for a Portrait Mode shot, blurring the background behind you.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s becoming harder to justify purchasing a full-blown DSLR or mirrorless camera when a device that fits in your pocket can do just about everything you need for capturing life\u2019s memorable moments. Whether you want clear photos as soon as you press the shutter button or you\u2019re big into post-processing to achieve that perfect style, the iPhone 14 Pro\u2019s camera and host of lenses will get the job done and then some.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery_Life_All_Day_Long\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Battery Life: All Day Long<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Video playback:<\/strong> Up to 23 hours \/ <strong>Video playback (streamed):<\/strong> Up to 20 hours<\/li>\n<li><strong>Audio playback:<\/strong> Up to 75 hours<\/li>\n<li>Built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery<\/li>\n<li>Fast-charge capable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re after all-day battery life, this is one of the first iPhones that I can truly recommend. From the first time I charged the iPhone 14 Pro to a full 100%, it took about an hour of mixed-use, including the Always-On Display, to drop it to 99%. Seriously.<\/p>\n<p>I find I only need to charge the phone once a day (if that) to have battery all the way into the next morning, where I could stretch out the ~20% that still remains if I wanted. Using the lightning cable that came with the phone and a standard 5W Apple power adapter, it took about 1 hour and 45 minutes to recharge the phone from 1% to full battery.

But, if you\u2019re happy with the iPhone 13 Pro you recently purchased, I think you can stand to wait for a generation or two.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t because the iPhone 14 Pro is a poor smartphone (quite the contrary), but as previously mentioned, Apple is constantly striving for bigger and better. One of the few downsides of this generation iPhone, and those that come before it, is the lightning port in favor of USB-C. Since this is coming to iPhone by autumn 2024, you may want to hold off for faster charging, inevitably improved performance, new features, and ways to utilize the Dynamic island and Always-On Display.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you want stalwart battery life, ultra-clear photos, the ready benefits of the AOD, and an absolute powerhouse of a processor, the iPhone 14 Pro is hard to pass up.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_You_Buy_the_Apple_iPhone_14_Pro\"><\/span>Should You Buy the Apple iPhone 14 Pro?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/shop-links.co\/link\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fapple-iphone-14-pro-256gb-deep-purple-at-t%2F6487247.p%3FskuId%3D6487247&amp;publisher_slug=howtogeek&amp;exclusive=1&amp;u1=848765&amp;article_name=Apple+iPhone+14+Pro+Review%3A+The+Best%2C+but+Not+Better+Enough&amp;article_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.howtogeek.com%2F848765%2F846615-autosave-v1%2F\">Apple iPhone 14 Pro: one of the best smartphones on the market right now, but not quite different enough from the 13 Pro that I\u2019d recommend an upgrade from the previous generation. If you haven\u2019t picked up a new phone in a few years, I\u2019d consider the iPhone 14 Pro for its truly all-day battery life, outstanding set of camera lenses, and unphased A16 Bionic processor.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re content with your current iPhone, I\u2019d wait until Apple implements the USB-C charging port for its handsets come 2024. If you\u2019re itching to upgrade, it\u2019s tough not to recommend the 14 Pro. You\u2019ll have power and style in the palm of your hand, as long as you\u2019re willing to fork over $1,099 without the inclusion of a case, accessories, or a storage upgrade, which can quickly push the price near the $2,000 range.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t mind shelling out the dough, the 14 Pro is one of the best smartphones you can carry in your pocket.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\">\nRating: <strong><br \/>9\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Price: <strong><br \/><small class=\"price_starting_at\">Starting At<\/small> $1099.99<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>120Hz, Always-On Display<\/li>\n<li>Fantastic camera set<\/li>\n<li>All-day battery life<\/li>\n<li>Workhorse of a processor<\/li>\n<li>Feels great in your hand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Costs an arm and a leg<\/li>\n<li>Can stick with the 13 Pro<\/li>\n<li>No USB-C port yet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
