Apple iPhone 14 series launch, price and availability in UAE
Apple’s event last week exposed many of the surprises expected from rumour mills. The major launches were the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Plus, and the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. There will be no Mini in the line-up, but the other four models are available for pre-order which started on September 9.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus features:
Apple’s iPhone 14 and 14 Plus both feature 6.1″ and 6.7″ screens, respectively. Besides the updated internal design, both models have an OLED display with Super Retina XDR technology, which supports 1200 nits of peak HDR brightness, a contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1, and Dolby Vision. Additional protection is provided by the Ceramic Shield on the displays.
In terms of processing power, the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus are powered by the same A15 Bionic chip as last year. It features a 5-core GPU, a 6-core GPU, a 16-core neural engine, as well as a new photonic engine. Additionally, both devices now have iOS 16, Crash Detection, and Emergency SOS via satellite.

For both the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, there are five colours to choose from: Purple, Blue, Midnight, Starlight, and Product Red.
iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max features:
The bodies of the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max don’t differ much from each other, aside from the smaller notch (now called the Dynamic Island).
There are four stunning colours available on the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, each with a display size of 6.1″ and 6.7″ respectively, surrounded by surgical-grade stainless steel and a textured matte glass design. With a peak brightness of 2000 nits, the iPhone 14 Pro duo features Super Retina XDR 120Hz displays.
Taking the Pro models to the next level, the cameras are truly ‘Pro’. There is a quad-pixel sensor on the main sensor, bumping the resolution to 48MP. Additionally, the camera comes with a 12MP telephoto lens and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. Lastly, there is an update to the flash hardware. In addition, you get an upgraded 12MP camera on the front.
The Pro Models include software updates like Action mode and better computational photography. Hardware upgrades are only available on Pro models when it comes to processing power. Both models are equipped with the A16 Bionic chipset. This performance boost comes from a newly-developed 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU.
