The always-on display is a low-power version of your lock screen that can show essential information when your phone is locked.
But there's one lock screen feature reserved for the 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max: an always-on display. The iPhone 14 Pro runs on iOS 16, which adds a bunch of welcome features including new ways to customize your lock screen. Such a fun and approachable feature is bound to be a big hit with people who don't use Pro versions of the iPhone.Īside from new colors, it's hard to tell what's new about the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max from just their backs. It's a shame you can only use it on the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 Pro and the Dynamic Island are an excellent example of Apple packaging a powerful tool into an enjoyable interface. If you have more than one background activity in progress, like maybe you're listening to music and have a timer on, the Dynamic Island splits into two parts like a sideways lower-case letter i. In my time using it, I didn't notice any smudges accumulating over the selfie camera and Face ID didn't seem to be affected. You can tap directly on the TrueDepth cameras or off to the sides. If you're on a FaceTime call, you can tap and hold on the interface to bring up controls. When you tap either side, Spotify brings up the song that's currently playing. For example, if music is playing, a miniature waveform and tiny thumbnail of the album artwork appears on either side of the cutout. During a FaceTime call, there's a green camera icon on the left side. The Dynamic Island shows different tiny icons and animations. It works in numerous situations and is an easy way to see what's going on without pulling your attention completely away from what you're doing. The more time I spent with the 14 Pro, the more delightful I found it.
And, like the iPhone 14, US models lack a SIM card tray and instead use an eSIM.īut it's that strangely named Dynamic Island that defines the phone. There's the aforementioned display cutout. There are few external ways that the iPhone 14 Pro is different from previous models.
