Four different phones are available in Apple’s new iPhone 14 series. The normal and Pro variants, both of which come in two distinct screen sizes. The iPhone 14 Plus model debuted shortly after the normal iPhone 14 and the Pro models, which were the first to hit the market at launch.
But now that all of the models have been officially unveiled for a few months, they are all easily accessible for purchase. The new iPhone lineup is a little confusing, mostly due to Apple’s choice of names for the new models and the wide range of features.
Also, just after 5 months of its release, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max have been discounted for the second time.
Here is an overview of the standard, Plus, Pro, and Max versions of the new iPhones in case you want to purchase one but aren’t sure which one to choose.
iPhone 14 Overview;
The iPhone 14’s display is the same as of the 13’s. The same 6.1-inch OLED screen with 460 ppi density is present. It’s display supports Dolby Vision and HDR10. The smartphone comes with the maximum brightness of 800 nits and a peak HDR brightness of 1200 nits.
Moreover, True Tone technology is used in the iPhone 14’s display to modify color temperature based on ambient illumination for a more realistic appearance.
The iPhone 14 comes with very powerful Apple A15 Bionic chip. Six CPU cores make up the A15 Bionic, including two performance cores and four power-saving cores. The A15 chip utilized in the iPhone 14 has five GPU cores, one more than the iPhone 13, which improves graphics performance.
The iPhone 14 is available with three distinct memory capacities: 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB.
The phone 14 is equipped with two cameras. Similar to iPhone 13, the 12MP ultrawide camera features a 120° field of view and an f/2.4 aperture. However there have been updates to both the front and back cameras.
The primary camera is still 12MP, but it has a wider f/1.5 aperture, a bigger 1/1.7′′ sensor, and bigger 1.9-m pixels. Phase detection autofocus (PDAF), which improves focusing, is available for the first time on the TrueDepth camera’s 12MP front camera, which also sports a faster f/1.9 aperture.
A 3279mAh battery powers the iPhone 14. According to Apple, the battery can support audio and video playback for up to 80 hours.

Although there have been speculations of a smoothness of 90Hz, it is now evident that Apple is sticking with its trusted 60Hz refresh rate.
On the front, you do receive flagship-level Ceramic Shield protection, which is combined with an oleophobic coating to prevent fingerprints.
The iPhone 14 Plus keeps the iPhone 13’s bathtub-shaped notch. The phoneis available in five various colors: Midnight, Purple, Starlight, (PRODUCT) RED, and Blue. It is built of aerospace-grade aluminum.

iPhone 14 Pro Overview;
Some of the biggest advancements to iPhones in previous years are included in the top-tier iPhone 14 Pro models. First of all, iPhones now feature a new front design. With the iPhone 13 Pro variants, Apple has swapped out the huge bathtub-shaped notch for a pill-shaped cutout. The most intriguing component is that a function called Dynamic Island allows notifications and alerts to utilize this notch.
Moving on to the screen, the 14 Pro Max sports a 6.7-inch screen compared to the normal Pro model’s 6.1-inch panel. Both versions have comparable display features, with the exception in size. It offers HDR, a P3 color gamut, Ceramic Shield protection, and ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate.
Furthermore, Apple’s brand-new A16 Bionic technology is included in this year’s iPhone 14 Pro versions. With two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, this new 6-core CPU consumes 20% less power than its rivals. As a result, the battery will last longer than in earlier models.
Apple claims that video playback can last up to 29 hours in the iPhone 14 Pro. iPhone 14 also supports MagSafe and Qi wireless charging. You may recharge their batteries with a Lightning cable that transfers 20W of electricity if you prefer a wired connection.
Apple has now boosted the primary lens’s resolution from 12MP to 48MP in terms of optics. Moreover, a quad-pixel sensor is now supported by its wide camera, which enhances low-light performance.
In order to collect as much light is possible, the sensor will often take 12-megapixel binned photographs. Moreover, it enables Apple to crop the sensor in various ways, enabling genuine 2x zoom at a 48mm focal length. Even Apple’s ProRAW format’s details are optimized by the new sensor, which can lead to a better photographic experience.
Moreover, the new ultrawide camera enhances macro photography and offers a 3x boost in low light situations. The flash on the iPhone 14 camera system has also been improved by Apple, becoming twice as bright and responsive to photo focal length.
You may now capture 4K videos for videography in both 30 and 24 frames per second, even in cinematic mode. On the other side, you may capture films in the new Action mode that are very smooth and steady without the use of gimbal stabilizers.
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max also feature Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless networking. For contactless payments, NFC is also supported.
The devices will have up to 1TB of storage and come in Space Black, Silver, Gold, and Deep Purple.
The updated price of the iPhone 14 Pro in Nepal for now is NPR 180,190 for it’s 128GB variant, NPR 198,890 for it’s 256GB variant and NPR 246,990 for it’s 512GB variant.
