Yesterday Apple announced the iPhone 14 line. The lines include the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

I made some cutouts below to compare sizes to determine my purchase. Based on the iPhone 14 Pro Max form factor it closely aligns with my current iPhone 7 Plus so this will be the option I go with when the phones open for pre-ordering tomorrow at 5 am PT.

New iPhone 14 Pro Features

• Dynamic Island 🏝👦🏾
• Emergency SOS via satellite
• Crash Detection
• Always-On display
• 2000 nits peak brightness (outdoor)
• A16 Bionic chip
• Pro camera system (48MP Main, 12MP Ultra Wide, and 12MP Telephoto) – 4X the iPhone 7 Plus 🤯
• Photonic Engine – Much more detail. In much less light. The Photonic Engine allows Deep Fusion — which merges the best pixels from multiple exposures into one phenomenal photo — to happen earlier in the process on uncompressed images. This preserves much more data to deliver brighter, more lifelike colors and beautifully detailed textures in less light than ever.
• Action mode: for smooth handheld videos – no gimbal required.

Other gains I’ll be getting from this HUGE upgrade
