Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and today we're unboxing and taking a first look at the new
iPhone 14 pro and 14 pro Max we've got the two new colors here including the space black which
is my personal favorite and the Deep Purple I've got these unboxed and then we'll take a look at
the colors design cameras and of course that new Dynamic Island I'll then show you some of
the new features along with the cases I've picked up now as I shoot all of the videos on my Channel
with an iPhone I'm really excited to see what the new camera has to offer and how it will help my
future videos well the first thing you'll notice is Apple have actually changed it up this year and
gone for white boxes for their Pro Models instead of the usual black and the image on the front is
off the front of the phone this time showing the notch at the top or the dynamic Island inside the
box we have the iPhone itself which we will set up in a minute then there's the usual paperwork
and stickers and under that we've got a USBC to lightning cable for charging it and as we're used
to now there's no power brick or earphones in the Box okay so I've gone for the new space black for
my Pro Max and it's kind of a matte black rather than gray or graphite that we've seen before but
on First Impressions this looks really stealthy it's a lot darker than I was expecting it to be
in fact I definitely prefer this over my graphite 13 Pro Max but here they are together to give you
an idea of just how dark it is compared to the graphite gray well the back of glass has that
same frosted look again and even the Apple logo in the middle is a lot darker and it does a good job
of hiding the camera bump as well because that again is quite dark looking around at the sides
there's the same still band that matches nicely to that dark theme but it still mirror-like so it's
going to pick up those fingerprints the buttons appear to be unchanged you've got the silent and
the volume buttons on one side and then we've got the power button on the other now you might have
noticed I do have a SIM card tray on mine but that's because I'm in the UK now if you're in
the US this has actually been removed and replaced with an e-sim instead and on the bottom we still
have a lightning Port so no USBC on the Pro Models again looking at the camera bump we've got three
lenses again including the new and improved 48 megapixel main a 12 megapixel Ultra wide
and a 12 megapixel telephoto lens but I will talk more about the cameras in a couple of minutes and
here's what the iPhone 14 pro looks like in Deep Purple now this one is actually for my wife so I
will not be using it at all but I'm actually pleased that she chose this color as it means
I can check it out today so it was a lot darker than I was expecting so it's more of a gray purple
rather than a bright purple and it could actually pass as being a dark blue or even a graphite in
certain light but when the light hits it from certain angles you can clearly see that purple
coming through now this deep purple does look nice and it will likely be the popular choice this year
but on First Impressions I think I prefer the space black so I am happy with the choice that
I made but what do you think out of these two choices right now would you go for the space
black or the Deep Purple let's take a look at the screen on this so the pro Max comes with a 6.7
inch screen while the pro model comes with a 6.1 inch but they both have the same OLED super Retina
xcr Display and the same resolution they both also have the pro motion 120 hertz refresh rate HDR and
haptic touch now there are three big changes that we've seen added to the iPhone 14 pro screen and
that's the new notch or the dynamic Island the always-on display and the increased brightness
now the always-on display basically means the screen will go into a kind of a reduced brightness
low power mode but it will still let you view the time and see your notifications whether this will
impact the battery life I guess only time will tell as for the brightness level well this has
actually been increased to 1600 nits in HDR of outdoor use this has actually been increased to 2
000 Nets Peak brightness so that should make a huge difference while you're viewing it outside
now having seen all the demos out there for dynamic Island I'm genuinely excited to see
how this works I've only had this for a few hours today but it actually works really well Apple have
taken a pretty boring Hardware feature their pale at the top and made something of it so depending
on what you're doing whether you're listening to music or setting a timer or even an incoming
call you can see the notch dynamically changing and adapting to it at the moment not all apps
are actually optimized for this but I guess just like with the iOS 16 widgets more and more will
add Support over the coming weeks but as this is so close to the camera I can imagine you're going
to pick up fingerprints or smudges over time so you'll probably need to wipe that front-facing
camera quite frequently on First Impressions the notch does look smaller than the 13 Pro in terms
of its width but as it's further away from the edge of the phone it definitely protrudes into
the screen space more using it for watching movies or even gaming could be an issue especially if
you didn't like the notch before well as for the cameras we've actually had a nice bump in quality
this year which we should see an improvement in both photos and videos in fact this is the
thing I'm most excited about so we've still got three lenses on the back including the brand new
48 megapixel main lens this is a 24 millimeter F 1.78 lens and the focal length on this is perfect
as I take all the photos on my Instagram with an iPhone I can only hope the 48 megapixels is going
to make a massive difference then there's the 12 megapixel Ultra wide which is a 13 millimeter F
2.2 lens this is great for getting those nice wide shots and it's supposed to be two times better in
lower light and finally the 12 megapixel telephoto lens now this year they've actually given us two
focal lengths with this lens there's a two times a 48 millimeter F 1.78 and a three times 77
millimeter F 2.8 it now means in the camera app we can actually swap between 0.5 1 2 and 3 to get the
shot that we need of course with number two being the new one I won't have any time today to go over
them all but there's obviously the normal mode you would expect to see in the camera app and that
includes the portrait panoramic and macro as well all of these look great but I will leave that for
my full review now the video capability on this has also been improved which is awesome to see
so we still have 4K video at either 24 25 30 or 60 frames per second and we also have 1080P and 720p
now I've only used this for an hour today but from what I can see so so far the video quality looks
really good it's hard to say if this is loads better than the 13 Pro Max but I will definitely
need to do some more testing the Cinematic mode has been improved from 1080p to 4K 30. so there's
now even more of a reason to shoot with that mode then we have all of the normal modes like
HDR prores slow-mo and time lapse but another big one for me is the new action mode and this
essentially is an improved stabilization mode for sport or action shots now this is actually capped
at 2.8 K and 60 frames per second so you're not going to get that full 4K quality although it is
still pretty good now this could potentially replace the need to use a gimbal although it
definitely crops the shot quite tight so something to bear in mind and a few other specs I wanted to
mention about the iPhone 14 pro well it's now got an a16 chip up from last year's a15 a front-facing
12 megapixel camera with autofocus and one extra hour of battery so that's now 29 hours versus last
year's 28 and here are a few cases I've picked up for the iPhone 14 Pros I've got two official Apple
leather cases here so I've got the mid midnight for the Promax and the ink collar for the 14 pro
and then I've got a bunch of other cases that Spigen very kindly sent out so I've got a slim
one here which is a really low profile then there are some armored cases for that extra protection
and even this transparent one so loads of cases here to choose from and finally which is something
I always add is a screen protector now I know these screens are supposed to withhold scratches
and drops but I'm not taking any chances so I'm using this Spigen all screen protector you just
remove the film line it up and slide your finger from top to bottom leave it on for a minute and
that's it it's done okay so as for the prices well there are four color choices four storage options
and two screen sizes to choose from I've gone for the one terabyte Pro Max which is an eye watering
1749 pounds or 1599 now this really does seem overkill for a phone but as I said I do use this
for everything that I create then the pro model I have here when I got that in 256 gigabytes and it
comes in at 1209 pounds or 1099 dollars like for like the larger Pro Max is 100 pounds or 100 over
the normal Pro but here are all of the prices for both options and sizes to give you an idea
so my first impressions of the iPhone 14 pro Max well I like it I think it's a worthy upgrade the
slightly longer battery the awesome Dynamic Island the always-on display and of course those improved
cameras that for me is the number one reason but over the coming weeks I will do a comparison of
the 14 pro against a 13 Pro and whether it's really worth upgrading I will then do a full
review of the iPhone 14 pro Max after I've used it for a few more weeks but any questions you
have about either of these phones please let me know now drop a 14 pro in the comments and I'll
give you a thumbs up for staying right till the end and if you did enjoy today's video check out
