My thoughts on iPhone 14 Series
Now that we’ve rejoined ourselves, with the iPhone 14. I feel this Apple keynote will be remembered as a major leap, no one except it to come so soon; within 24 months.
This Apple keynote would’ve been a lot better; If Apple didn’t make it feel like other keynotes; we’re not so used to, If I may so put it that way…
Right at the let go, I felt sad, we were not in for an iPad 10; since I was looking forward to it…
I wouldn’t go too deep into, the Apple Watch, or the Airpods. The new Apple Watch Ultra is not for most of us, Though I do appreciate a longer battery, and the features it comes with. I’m most certain, we could’ve seen it on regular Apple watches. I’m quite happy with the AW SE price, also finally we don’t need a Nike Watch to have the Nike watch faces; since I quit liked them from the inception. Better than what Apple had to offer.
AirPods are the only Apple product, I’m not inclined to be in favour of.
Now coming to what we all have been waiting for, as every year goes by “The iPhone “.
I’m quite happy with this year’s iPhone lineup, then I’ve been last year. This time, things felt more like Apple, yet a bit of a letdown at the end. That is now the US iPhone models; starting with iPhone 14, they don’t have a sim tray; they all are moving toward E-Sim, for the most part, this is yet a disappointment, not just for me personally, but for all of us in one way, or the other. If you don’t swap phones too often as I do; you might be just fine.
I feel, as good, as iPhone 14 feels, with all that it offers. I feel most of the people who want to get an iPhone this year, might as well; get the older iPhone. More specifically the US consumer. I really wish, Apple gives us the option to go E-sim, or with the sim tray.
The moment I saw iPhone 14, I really fell in love with all the colours. Since Apple lately has not done well with its color choices, at least IMO.
Now that the iPhone mini has gone, it’s been replaced by the iPhone Plus. In general nothing, much has changed between iPhone 13 to 14, yet the new features are more welcoming than they’ve been in a while.
The iPhone 14 Plus, might not be for me, but I’m glad it here to stay. I’m more than happy, with the iPhone 14 regular, over the Plus.
Now coming to the iPhone 14 Pro, This definitely has made it feel like a pro, then it has been over 24 months, as for iPhone Pro models, none of them felt like a worthy upgrade to me in terms of features, and all the value it has to offer. Yet this time it definitely feels like one IMO.
Before I forget, Apple did mention, the satellite connection via iPhone.
The only downside is that this feature is available for 2 years in the US, and Canada, then pay a later fee for it. As this is yet in its early stages. Apple wants to give it some time for it to be used or have it available for free.
These are the features iPhone 14 pro models have to offer.
The dynamic Island; feels so Apple.
Here is what I’ve to say about the dynamic Island; It’s not at all gimmick, but it’s quite useful.
The only time, the dynamic island doesn’t feel right, is when watching videos, or maybe playing games. Rest works as it was intended to.
This year, the iPhone Pro model colour is not good, they don’t feel nice either holding or looking at it. As for the regular iPhone 14, those colours look way better IMO.
Since I’ve seen both the iPhone 14 model.
Here is what I feel about the iPhone 14 plus.
It feels light in my hand, Yet it’s too big for me. If next year Apple gives us the Apple Watch ultra sort of body. That would be amazing, just like how Samsung smartphones used to feel in hand; with a large display. Other than that, the iPhone 14 Plus feels wholesome.
As for the iPhone Pro models; they’re quite Hefty, and it’s quite notable. What, we didn’t see it this year, we might see it next year. Also, I’ve noted the camera on the iPhone 14 is not great, Which is a disappointment.
