hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and this is the all-new iPhone 14. this is Apple's least
exciting upgrade this year as it's not a big jump from the iPhone 13 but I thought we'd
unbox it and then take a look at what's new now it has the same price at 7.99 and goes
up to 1099 however if you're at 1099 I'd probably jump to the pro model it comes in 128 256 and 512
gigabyte models just like last year and comes in some new colors this is the new blue color
we also have a new purple and then the product red color is slightly different now this whole
video is being filmed with an iPhone 14 pro and 14 pro Max from the rear-facing cameras so let
me know what you think of that and it's in HDR so if you're using maybe a browser other than
Chrome or Safari make sure you check it out there or use the YouTube app on a compatible monitor to
see it in HDR otherwise you'll just see it in normal resolution now let's go ahead and unbox
this now this is the least exciting phone this year so we'll go ahead and pull the tab off here
and we'll do one more and then we can open up the box so we'll go ahead and open this up
and there's the new blue color and so as you can see here's the new blue
and let's take a look at what's in the box so of course we have our normal paperwork and this
year it's an e-sim so it's going to give you an information about having an e-sim that says you
no longer need a physical Sim you have of course got your normal information and then you have an
apple sticker now of course you have your USBC to lightning cable and that's what we'll have
probably until iPhone 15. now let's go ahead and put the cable back in the box and if you need a
charger that's where the official Channel partner of this channel anchor comes in who's actually
sponsored this video If you're looking for an AC adapter for your iPhone the Anker Nano 3 is 70
smaller than Apple's 30 watt charger it features gallium nitride technology and a foldable plug to
reduce the size and increase its efficiency but it can still output 30 Watts so you can charge more
devices including your iPhone iPad Apple watch and MacBook Air all with one charger there's five
fresh finishes to match your style Aurora white Phantom black Misty blue lilac purple and natural
green anchor also has a new 541 USBC to lightning and 543 USBC to USBC cable that are the first to
use bio-based materials in a cable anchor is the first company to use renewable materials including
sugar cane and corn to construct the exterior of the cables and the cables have been proven in a
lab to withstand up to 20 000 bends making it more durable than your typical tpe based cables I'll
leave a link to both of them in the description so you can check them out now as you can see here's
the blue color it looks really good this year it's sort of a slate blue and then on the right
hand side of course it's aluminum on the regular model we have our power sleep wake button and then
of course our millimeter wave antenna if you have that where you live around the bottom side of the
phone of course we have our lightning Port along with our microphone and speaker and then on the
other side we don't have a SIM card tray this year but we do have our volume buttons and our silent
switch nothing on the top and then on the back it doesn't really look any different but we do
have updated cameras to compare with the other model the iPhone 13 from last year they're very
very similar they're a little bit different when it comes to weight so the iPhone 14 is lighter
at 6.07 ounces or 172 grams you don't really feel it though as the iPhone 13 is 6.14 ounces or 174
grams so it's very very slight on the side here they're pretty much identical in every way in
fact I showed in the case video the cases would fit so the cases fit from the 14 to the 13 so
you wouldn't have to buy a new one necessarily now you'll see the front is the same in fact the
display is exactly the same this year now inside we have emergency SOS via satellite and we also
have crash detection we also have the photonic engine which we'll talk more about later and
then the battery is updated to 3279 milliamp hours this time around so it's good for about
an extra hour of video playback so 32 27 last year in the iPhone 13. not a big difference
there now let's turn it on and see what it looks like outside and I'll get it set up wait for it
to boot up and like I said it's the same display as last year so that means it goes up to 1200 nits
in HDR video or regular about a thousand or eight hundred it's 25 32 by 1170 at 460 pixels per inch
now I'll go ahead and get this set up and we'll take a look at what's new I did a separate setup
video fully with the iPhone 14 pro Max moving over the e-sim and more so if you're in the United
States it's esim only like I mentioned so let me get this set up and then we'll continue now before
we unlock the phone this year apple is actually not included Wi-Fi 6E yet but we do have a bump
up to Bluetooth 5.3 we also have 5G but not CDMA and so this gets the same a15 bionic but with an
extra GPU core this year so really very similar to last year's Pro Models is basically what we
have now with the front camera we actually have an upgraded 12 megapixel camera so that's a nice
thing it's actually the same as basically what you get in the pros 12 megapixel F 1.9 with 4K
60 and the photonic engine on the back we of course have dual camera setups and again these
are upgraded the main camera is an F 1.5 up from 1.6 and the ultra wide is an F 2.4 and we'll check
out some of those new modes in a moment but let's unlock the phone and right away I actually have a
software update so that's something you'll see if we go into General and then about now you can see
we have the same build number we had before with 20a357 and so immediately this has a software
update that fixes a few things again I showed this in the iPhone 13 pro video but if we go to General
and then software update you'll see we have an update where it fixes iMessage and FaceTime where
it may not complete activation photos may appear soft when zooming in landscape orientation on a
14 pro Max and Enterprise single sign-on apps may fail to authenticate now let's go back and
take a look at some of the wallpapers since we have some new ones here we'll add a custom or a
new wallpaper scroll down and then go over in collections and you'll see here these are the
new wallpapers this is for midnight then we have Starlight red blue and then purple so here's the
new blue one we'll just add that quick we'll set it up hit done and now we have the new wallpaper
and I'll link that in the description now the display this year goes up to a thousand nits or
1200 nits in HDR video the same as last year and that means it's half the brightness Outdoors of
the new pro model so if you're in a very bright situation you'll see it looks fine now but you
may want to consider the Pro Models just for that additional brightness of course we have pwm still
so it's the same display if flickering of the display bothers your eyes that's something to
keep in mind but this year they've been great the past couple years where they don't seem to
bother many people's eyes but that flickering of the display to control brightness is something
that's bothered in my eyes in the past and it hasn't especially with the 13 and 14 series now
additionally we have some new camera modes in the settings you're not going to find much of a
difference here basically all the same things HDR up to 4K 60. however in the camera itself we have
some new modes so you'll see here there's a new action mode button this will use 4K resolution
and scale that down to stabilize the video so let's take a look at that so as I'm running in
my backyard just across the yard you can see the difference between unstabilized footage on
the left and stabilized footage on the right so I think it looks pretty good it's definitely useful
if you really have a shaky situation you need to hand hold your phone now also we have new
cinematic modes that go up to 4K so we now have 4K 24 and 30 for an option where before we didn't
have 4K at all so let's take a look at that so here's the iPhone 14's forward-facing camera in
4k30 cinematic mode so you should see it sort of blur the background around my hair and some of the
edges are a little bit fuzzy I think it could use a little bit more Improvement there but overall
it's very impressive it's great that it's 4K this year and as I look over there it should focus away
and then Focus back on my face so we'll have to see what it's like after I actually watch this
video but overall I think it's a nice Improvement and it's great that this gets the same quality as
the pro cameras as well so that's the iPhone 14 not a huge upgrade this year but it is a nice
bump if maybe you're upgrading from an older phone maybe an iPhone 10r or older otherwise for 10.99 I
would probably opt for the pro model if you have an iPhone 13 I don't know that I'd upgrade but
I'll have to test it a little bit further let me know what you think of the iPhone 14 I'm recording
with its front-facing camera in 4k HDR now and if you have any other questions I'd love to hear
