I honestly think the Dynamic Island is just another one of the small marketing schemes that apple does that works so well. Even though there is still a notch, this new feature made it look new for most people.
It is new though. Not only a physical redesign, but incorporated into the software as a usable space. Not saying it’s anything incredible, but for early adopters it’s an awesome addition that has some cool benefits over previous designs
A few years ago I made the decision of switching phones every 3-5 years (depends) and always going for the largest storage option available.. No regrets yet.
I’m still on the 8plus & there’s nothing that I’ve wished it had except a better battery life (bc mine is at 75% max capacity vs original capacity) & I recently cracked the screen after daily use since launch. So now I’m on the fence, upgrade to 14 pro, fix the screen/replace battery on my 8plus, or just get something like the 13 since it’s cheaper than the newest model. Don’t take/edit pics or vids & I legitimately only use social media apps, iMessage & what’s app.
I am SO excited to get this phone. I’ve got it ordered and it’s on the way, I got a gold 256GB Pro and it should be here in a few days and I’ve never been more genuinely excited for a phone. Upgrading from an 11 so it’s kind of a substantial upgrade you could say.
I'll be honest; I hope Android phones don't receive the "Dynamic Island." It works for the iPhone because the notch is quite large compared to most Android phones; however, I feel it's not necessary for Androids, and it may even be a con.
Absolutely, we don't want Android to have that ugly ass notch thing going on again.....we have our pro Androids really a beast with some stunning edge to edge displays and awesome viewing experience..... Netflix is so terrible in iphone notch
The always on display being in color is an odd choice. I was really excited about it but I thought it would be like the pixel or moto X where it just had small, white/grey icons on a black background to sip battery. I’ll give it a shot when mine shows up but.. probably end up turning it off sadly. What I love about always on displays was that it means I can check my notifications at a glance rather than having to grab my phone and look and pull me away from work
You should do more research but f it, I'll tell you anyway. There are different filters you can use for the always on display and one of them is black and white. The 14 pros also have 1 to 120hz refresh rate displays now so the always on display sips battery unlike android phones before variable refresh rate displays. All in all, you're good to go when it comes to having an always on display on the new iPhone pro models.
Since you need to have all 3 subpixels on (red, green and blue) to generate white or grey, showing color should in theory use less battery. In reality it'll be negligible though.
A free hint to Apple, should they have just inserted a nice colourful diode as in Android that would blink on notifications, this would have been better than AOD and people would gladly talk about this as well.
Great video! I think folks with an iPhone 11 or older would benefit with the upgrade like Marques said but in no way do I feel like I need the upgrade from my 13 Pro. Honestly I think I'm not budging until they bring USB-C ports into the iPhone. The 48MP camera is a gimmick as it's still really a 12MP final pic for most users. "Dynamic Island" is a cool concept but it didn't really make it a game changer. iOS 16 is great and I'm very happy with the features on my current phone. Love the customizable lock screens and changes they made to the notifications. You don't need the 14 to see those updates. Here's hoping the iPhone 15 finally brings the USB-C port so it doesn't take forever to get a video off of the iPhone.
@Bob Wangson You think people don’t do that? Some like having the latest greatest (myself included). The fact even I don’t feel the need to upgrade is saying how minor this new phone is.
@@Battlecry45 Yeah for sure! It seems like as time goes by, these iPhone updates are more and more minor. Now you can wait 2-3 generations before upgrading. Maybe not bad but the final upgrade is USB-C.
Almost guaranteed usb c next year, increasing pressure from the community and EU as well as the fact that they basically promised they would use lightning for the next 10 years.
The initial announcement of the aod lock screen, I loved. Now it shows too much, is too bright, and uses too much battery - has been ruined for me personally. The dynamic island is way over hyped for me personally as well. Long holding it for the widget is backwards. Gesturing for quick navigation at the bottom of the phone is quicker than taping small icons at the top. So for me personally, it's a pass.

Excellent review, as always. I'm not sure I would agree the eSIM only architecture is limiting for international travel. I recently had to do some research for a non-technical friend who was planning international travel and I found a broad array of companies that offered eSIMs for most markets. You buy before leaving and get a QR code. Then when connected to the Internet (via WiFi) at your destination country, you scan the code and it programs the eSIM and you're up and running fairly quickly.
Marques only see issues I guess. Apple is working with major companies around the world to make that possible and never use a physical SIM card again. As you said, it’ll be easy as to scan a QR code to get internet access in other countries. I bet other phone companies will do the same thing.
In the Philippines, the only way you can get e-sim working is if you go for a postpaid plan. (Plus lock-in contract) I know airalo offers international e-sim but the prices aren’t cheap especially if you plan to stay for a month or so but not long-term enough that you can justify paying postpaid plan. But here’s me hoping Apple pushes e-sim adoption globally.😂

LG has made significant contributions to the things we've normalized today like a dedicated wide-angle camera, double tap to wake or sleep and now the shortcuts bar. Kinda miss having LG as a flagship competitor.
I don't miss Lg at all I have had the G3, G5, G6 love my pixel 5 looking forward to the pixel 7...........LG updates are lacking compared to Google pixel
I was gonna wait for the 16 to upgrade because I want usb c but the 15 is limited to 2.0 speed and I know for a fact that apples gonna be all “we have completely innovated the charging port and made it 100x faster”(upgrading to the actual usb c standard) when they announce the 16 But my 12pro is shattered on the front and the back and the charging port barely works and it’s not gonna last until the release of the 16 So I’m getting a 14 pro because it comes in purple
@@kill3rbyysight more than luck, the popularity also plays part and most people still remember that iPhone was first smartphone so they are popular that doesn't mean I am taking it away from LG. Its just WHEN you got popular . I ma an android user.
@@kill3rbyysight Your comment proves that ignorance is bliss, and nostalgia is a great memory blocker. Apple focused on the right things from the start. They made sure the user experience was solid, and avoided big hardware issues. Hard work and creativity only get you so far. LG phones were garbage. If LG was successful with their phones, they’d still be selling em.
It's amazing how some features like 'Car crash detection' seems so simple for people but I think this might have made the engineers and designers scratch their head to make it precise.

With Apple being late to it, I'm sure they were able to copy a lot of Google's R&D to get themselves pretty close starting points. Pixel's have had it since the Pixel 3 with no reports of false triggers
I’ve had my deep purple 14 pro for about 6 months now. I upgraded from an 11 that I dropped in the river. I’m very impressed with it and love the dynamic island. I’m finding myself surfing through apps on the go and it’s very convenient. I almost always have AirPods In and love the connection as well
I think it might be better if the dynamic island can display notifications as well, like the notification just pops out from the pill instead of a separate box like the one shown in the video
You could change what it included and even rolling different features. Hey, it's iPhone, what you thinking? For that price, it shows your friends girlfriend secrets, what he even haven't seen, if he uses some android.
LG was an extremely innovative company when it came to phones, trying new things all the time and having other phones adopt what it has done proves that, sad that they no longer make phones
@@henrylam92 oh yeah they were, e.g. the Wing. totally not a concept that should have been a released phone, it was a scenario no one wanted his phone to cover.
Love the LG mention. It’s a shame that they were so slow with updates, because their hardware was always great and innovative. Thinking that they might not release a new phone ever again… I’m actually planning to buy some of them just for “collector” purposes
Yeah, me too actually.. think I'm gonna get the G7, the V50 S.Korean maxed out version, if I can find it somewhere (from what I understand, it's supposed to have the best DAC of them all, according to "Juan Bagnell" ("Some gadget guy"). Then the V60 with the extra screen case and the "LG Wing", just because it's so bizzar and too fun to play with, lol..😁 Also getting all the old Pixel phones. I.e. the old ones.. So all the way up to the Pixel 5a (except for the Pixel 5 and the small sized Pixel 1 and 2). Well that's my two cents! Best of luck with your "hunt"!!👍👍🦶
@@Superknullisch I have every Pixel. I highly recommend them all, but really I'd just start with the 3plus and go up from there stop at five then get the 7.
i like how they made IOS 16, more "one hand friendly" on the lock screen. Moving notifications to the bottom. But then make EVERYTHING go to the very top so its almost impossible to one hand it because of this "dynamic Island". However i like the implementation and idea.
Agreed. They confirmed that moving everything to the bottom is much better for reachability by releasing IOS 16, but then had to move interactions IN THE SAME MOMENT to the top for the iPhone 14 pro? It’s hilarious how people don’t realize how stupid it is. It may look kinda cool, but it’s by no means a “feature” that couldn’t have been done at the bottom 🤷🏽♂️ On top of that, the island is placed much lower than a normal notch. For me, that alone makes the pro version inferior.
As an avid mountaineer the satellite communication is groundbreaking. Maybe for some that feature seems like something you would never use, but I spend almost every weekend out of cell service. The ability to keep family updated with my location quickly and easily and have the ability to call for rescue is an absolute insane feature for me 😄
i know exactly what you mean, its huge honestly like i didnt think apple would be the one to fix this issue like its almost in my daily life where i dont have service bc where i live so i dealt w this and now apple is the problem solver
Regardless if you can text family or not but the fact that you don’t feel like your going to die in the middle of nowhere is a great relief. I don’t even do outdoor things but from watching all those horror films 😂 about getting lost and having to cut your arm or getting lost in nature! 😢 or even getting stranded in the middle of the ocean! Imagine titanic passengers having iphones that couldve sent sos to responders!
I'm very curious if a rough rollercoaster would set off the crash detection. That is pretty much the only thing I think could trigger it without a real crash.
Theoretically a rollercoaster shouldn’t trigger it. Because the phone measures high g forces of a sudden stop. Which should be way higher than those of a rollercoaster or fast spinning. But thats just a guess. Im no expert.
Thanks for mentioning LG came up with "Dynamic Island" concept 7 years ago with the LG V10. LG took many gambles and had some really cool stuff on their high end phones. Sure some things were a miss but when they hit, they hit hard. They're already missed.
I'm not an apple user most of the time, but the dynamic island thing is genuinely so cool to me. One of the rare times apple has actually added a feature instead of removing them in recent years.
That and Magsafe, their next move is to remove all ports, and I feel like Magsafe is going to also implement data transfer. I'm just waiting for improvement to Bluetooth quality since they removed the headphone jack. It's been the same for years.
I do miss the second screen from LG V20. That was easily one of the best implementation of widget on any phone. It served as Always on Display and widget at the same time
Reminds me of TopGear - that show was about cars but oh my, those visuals 🤤. Same here, the effort that goes into making a seemingly simple phone review 🥹
Its interesting, because Android seems to be focussing more on getting rid of the notch. I don’t know if it makes sense to copy apple or not, its a very apple thing, the ✨dynamic island✨
That's what I commented just now. ZTE is leading the way with under display cameras, and I wasn't very hopeful cause they're not famous, but then Samsung started doing it with the fold, so I think we're good!
I really hope the dynamic island isn't copied! We've spent the last few years making selfie camera close to invisible with small holepunch cameras, and I'd hate to have a massive chunk of my screen taken up by a floating widget just because Apple did it.
Yes, the Dynamic Island is complete trash. It's more intrusive than the prior Notch and is just Apple making lemonade out of lemons. How much is Apple paying Influencers to promote that design flaw. Steve Jobs is rolling around in his grave.
I feel like a lot of people like the 12 and 13's design. However, I feel like some of those people also don't like how it's so flat that it feels sharp.
@@camsta_ It's a not as popular design but if they do make one it is gonna be more comfortable to hold. Personally I don't have a bone to pick with the flat design.
@@mcmangaming2929 same here. i have a 12 and i don't mind the flat edges but it'll be a good compromise for people who prefer the 11 and below and people who prefer the 12 and up
Whenever I hear about satellite modes from US-based reviewers it reminds me of how good their general coverage must be... I live in Australia and it would be epic here! So much of Australia has no coverage and I literally take expensive GPS beacons with me on big hikes just in case. I can't wait to get satellite coverage here.
Literally have to take my inreach mini 2 with me everywhere here in Aus. We do have alright satellite coverage here no where near the US due to a small market. But between a new iphone and the Starlink dish (RV use) that ive ordered, im gonna be pretty set for 4x4 travels.
I‘m sticking to my 11 Pro till the 15 series comes out, still very powerful and feels fresh after the iOS 16 update. Gonna wait for USB-C to finally come to iPhone.
Watch them remove the port and say portless is the new future and more environmentally friendly or something. Just like removing the sim tray which I’m disappointed about. Edit: changed sun to sim 😅

I was an early adopter of the LG v10. The second screen, removable battery, stitching the front and back camera images made it highly appealing for me. The design was great as well. The battery life though was not. Glad for the shout out to this under-rated device!
I used to own an LG G4 as a middle schooler, and no matter how many impressive phones I see, I just can't get over how ahead of its time that phone was. Couple features that have since been introduced to iPhones are the back of the phone taps, front screen tap to wake up, always on display, default weather animations, and the "dynamic island." and absolutely AMAZING camera quality as well. Honestly as a South Korean myself, kinda bummed that my childhood smartphone is never coming back.
Interestingly, a lot of those features go even further back - the Nokia N9 from 2011 had an always on display, tap to wake and other crazy innovations! It’s super cool to see features like that evolve over time :)
Man, I *loved* my G4 until I got the bootloop issue, got it replaced and then within a year the battery life just went to absolute shit. LG innovated like crazy but they had so many issues that just made a lot of their phones unreliable and even when those issues got resolved they never managed to recover from it.
i still use an LG G7 for the stellar (relatively, for a phone) headphone amp, and its a decent phone still up to this day. LG phones are underrated and underappreciated
The best channel on UA-cam is one that just mostly repeats whatever is written on the Apple webpage with some extra adjectives? Yeah right lol. It’s ok to compliment their video skills but “best channel” 😂
@@blackmail1807 he literally gives his opinion about the product. I definitely have more knowledge about the product after watching this video, than I had, when i read the spec sheet.
As much as I find these small improvements over the 13 wicked cool...I think I'll hang on to my 13 pro until a USB C iPhone comes out. Not sure if I'm alone in this, but I am genuinely surprised the 14 wasn't the phone to finally ditch lightening.
I believe the next iteration of iPhones - the 15 - will have an increase in storage to allow for 8k video (and make full use of the new 48mp camera) and USB-C to increase export speeds.
They will go portless before they go USB C. I too have been waiting for a few years for USB C to come to the iPhone but at this point I'm convinced it just won't happen.
LG was so underrated but novel in many of their designs. The LG V10 was a great phone. It was an absolute missed opportunity that they couldn't build off the platform. Curve displays, multiple cameras, notebook-like phone....LG was so creative.
LG produced some amazing phones, still use my lg g6 from time to time. Shame they left the smartphone game, same with HTC. HTC one m8 was a god tier phone for its time.
With the dynamic island - I'm wondering if the 'touch' will interfere with the physical sensors / cameras? The complete omission of updates to Siri continues to surprise me. Great review overall Markus - you make awesome content.
in an extremely consumerist environment, where influencers are a walking advertisement at this point and we are all pushed to always have the latest and greatest new gadget, your candidness and honesty is greatly appreciated. you are one of the biggest tech youtubers and you’re constantly getting deals from the big brands and stuff, it would be easy for you to just push ppl to buy this new device but you still take the time to be frank & direct and state the honest truth; no matter how hard brands try to push us to buy their latest product; the *average* iphone 11 or later user wouldn't really notice a big difference between their current phone and upgrading to the 14 pro, no matter how cool that new shiny phone is. thanks for your honesty and great review as always
Great comment too. Marques isn't the most unbiased reviewer out there when it comes to iPhones, but he's definitely much more neutral compared to the various other tech channels that have an Apple bias.
I will be keeping my red cracked iPhone se 2 and saving $1100. Still does everything this new phone can do. And I can take a nice vacation with that money.
I’ll be honest, the Dynamic Island felt like the only new feature from my 13 PM and even that is very minor. I don’t think you need to change phones these days for at least 2-3 years and with a battery change, even longer.
Upgrading from the 8 Plus to the 14 Pro and I'm very excited for it. I probably waited longer than most.. I would've upgraded to the 13 Pro but got lazy, but the difference is big for someone like me. I've never had a phone with Face ID. I'm even amazed by that lol.
The UA-cam algorithm needs to stop simping to you and the rest of the 6’6 male tech reviewers. Your tunnel vision commentary is the reason we have phones that are made for giants. YOU are the reason Apple just put 65% more action items in the absolute hardest to reach place of the phone. Unsubscribed.
'Already having' a feature doesn't mean that it's equally good as Apple has implement it, just like Marques and the vast majority of reviewers have mention before. And this time around the difference is not only software-wise, Apple has made a big upgrade to the accelerometer which lets it calculate massively more g-forces, making VASTLY more accurate and reliable for the detection of a crash.
Marques is hands down the best and most consistent reviewer on this platform. I’ve been watching for years and I’m just in awe of how he continues to push the bar.
MKBHD has the highest production quality but I like a lot of smaller channels better in terms of getting new information or interesting analysis. This channel is pretty graphics, a cool dude and easy watching.
I just upgraded to the 14 Pro w/512 from an 8 Plus w/64. Yep - an 8 and it was still working with some inconvenience but worked fine. 14 is wicked fast …. From what I had.

I assumed the A16 comparisons to the A13 were Apple's way of tailoring its keynotes to driving real-world user sales/upgrades instead of catering solely to the tech-inclined. Most people don't care about yearly processor changes because they're not upgrading their phone yearly - but Apple wants to speak to those on a roughly 3-year upgrade cycle, hence the 2019 chip comparison.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. God is three in one; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.
Only company which copied the dynamic island it was apple itself, nobody else did 😂 Android has so many advance features. IOS doesnt even have multi-window option. I am literally using another app and top of it watching a youtube video and typing this comment.
Apple is very smart with their product. I haven't seen a single person who said how not removing the notch is basically stalling for other iphones that'll remove the notch in the future. Imagine if they removed the notch then apple would've missed out on 2 possible I phones .

The LG V10 and V20 had a smaller secondary screen that provided quick access to specific apps, music controls, notifications, etc. It did what the iPhone dynamic island does. I loved that feature. The LG V10 and V20 are my all time favorite android phones based on functionality and aesthetics. Too bad they had flaws related to hardware and now LG doesn't make phones anymore.
I'm actually still using my v20, the loss of features never really made getting a new phone worth it to me, Especially since I want to keep the removable battery
I really love the dynamic island, wish they did a sort of dynamic notch for the regular 14 because the dynamic part is purely software, but this is outstanding and i love it!
As an 11Pro user I considered upgrading but decided to hold off for now. One thing I liked about apples new update was that you can use your iPhone camera on your Mac for better quality and the whole top down view (still don’t get how it works but that’s super cool). That’s one thing I want to learn more about.
Interesting! I want to look into that too. I still have the iPhone 7plus, and I will likely upgrade next year. I wonder if Apple will sell app suites, a collection of apps with a subscription fee. & I wonder if Apple will create irl membership perks, based on the iPhones you own.
Don’t feel obligated to upgrade frequently. To apple’s credit, iPhones from the 6s on have had really long lifespans. I didn’t upgrade my 6s to a 12 until April
Apple users and fans seem to be embracing it so far as I have read/ seen. However, as an iPhone user (11 pro max) I think my next upgrade is going to be Samsung. The screens cannot be beat and no obnoxious notch.
My only concern with the dynamic island is that people will definately have a dump of fingerprints on their front cam and gotta clean their camera everytime they wanna take a selfie..
Watching the close ups and seeing the fingerprints on the front facing camera while using dynamic island seems like it would be super annoying needing to clean that for pictures all the time. Or people who don't care will just have fuzzy/foggy pictures regularly.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fingerprint show up on a photo. Ever Unless your hands are absolutely disgusting, in which case having a dirty front camera will be the least of your problems, it literally won’t be a problem
The only thing that bothers me a lot with iOS 16 is the battery icon is always filled in regardless of the battery percentage, I feel like now that youve gotten used to having to reading the battery percentage of how much it’s filled in it will take a while to get used to that
Kinda stupid because you literally see the percentage number which is THE POINT of it! When you don't want that you can just turn it off and see the normal battery icon. It's just the best way to do it because if they mixed both it would be pretty much impossible to read and make both useless.
i'm just wondering how much the Dynamic island actually add to the experience. i had to buy a new one because the old one died, but with IOS16 the whole island thing is pretty much the same, only now when you are watching something that pill is always going to be there. very annoying and wished they just kept it at the top of the screen

Great review! I think I’ll stick with my iPhone 11 Pro Max for now. It’s still kicking on and this still doesn’t feel like enough of a change to upgrade. Really hoping the next version has a USB-C port now that the rules are changing in the UK.

To me personally the true limit of the new camera is that they did not implement a 5x optical zoom. This is only partially replaced by cropping a more detailed 48mp photo but it still lacks for all those that like me don’t usually take photo of people.
The reason they didn’t implement a 5x optical zoom is because that amount requires dedicated periscope lenses technology. Its coming with the iPhone 15 pro ultra next year according to rumors. Digital zoom does not equal optical zoom. 3x optically is all you can achieve without need special side stacked lenses hardware.
Can we just appreciate the attention to detail and editing through out the vid these TikTok dancers that do nothing and put Minmal effort in they get millions millions of views but mkhbd is working in an environment that noT that many people watch but he still manages to clock millions of views
Agree completely. I'm about ready to upgrade my 12, but USB-C and more zoom (5x would be fine) is a top request so hopefully the 15 next year is the thing.
It's true. The iPhone 14 (non pro) is almost identical to the 13 with 2 extra GB of ram and the 13 was practically the same as the 12 with minor performance enhancements...
It’s cool what they did with the integration of hardware and software with the island…but honestly it seems more invasive than the notch. Wasn’t that the point of people wanting the notch removed? Granted I haven’t used it, but from everything I see it looks worse when watching a video/etc…I don’t think it will last long. I think it is just a stepping stone to completely removing it.
When the notch first appeared, I though it would be more annoying that it actually turned out to be. Most video when viewed wide, doesn't go to the edges anyway, so no problem there. The UI had mostly been designed around it anyway, so again no major issues there. Dynamic Island just seems to call attention to this mole. I don't care for it. Maybe a mis-step like Touch Bar on the Mac?
I personally think this is worse, you now have a black surface stretching further down into the screen. I’m happy it at least looks more aesthetic than before, but that’s all it really is, aesthetic- not productive. It’s a good job on the marketing team and that’s really it. I bet the design engineers argued the other way, but marketing was able to convince them otherwise.
I’m not happy about the esim only option. If my phone breaks I like the freedom of being able to just swap my sim into another phone and keep moving. This is a limitation that I find unnecessary.
@@thepebblesexplore83 They will either make you pay a fee to move your esim or something similar, and this will definitely make it more likely for people to get locked into the Apple ecosystem.
@@kreeves1459 eSIM doesn't care what kind of phone you have, it's up to your carrier to "program" the eSIM. If you swap out SIMs frequently this can become cumbersome, because sometimes it's "instant" & sometimes it takes awhile for eSIM to register. If you stick with one carrier & don't switch often, you won't care. I'm currently using an eSIM on my Pixel 6a.
@@kevvvvj Not outright but it allows them to save money by not building a SIM tray and reader in the phone. Their whole thing is having a little ports/openings as possible. Next to go will be the lightning port probably in the next two gens.
The funny thing with the dynamic island is that it clearly started out as a way to camouflage the notch yet they ended up making a complete feature out of it that could've been developed and implemented in the absence of a notch.
Yea, Android hardware is already heading towards no notch/invisible camera hole. I'd still enjoy an interactive notification bar like this! Competition is good.
iPhone 14 pro max software problem without any reason display screen become fully green….better buy android phone…low cost if any damages no regrets ……. I hate it apple products…😡😡😡😡😡
It makes sense to have the multitasking features out of reach of the fingers. If the dynamic island was at the bottom of the phone, people would keep triggering it accidentally. That said, I think that the intention wasn’t to design a new multitasking feature, but to make use of the new design in the best possible way.
Obviously, because it isn't a true multitasking solution. It only works with some apps that take advantage of it while running in the back. A lot of apps will never show up there. It's just a happy coincidence. If they intended for it to be a multitasking feature they would have marketed the hell out of it.
no it doesn't. having it right at the top middle is extremely hard to reach with one hand, especially if you have the bigger version. it's awkward at best and completely unreachable at worst if you have small hands
@@kevinjohnanand Ultimately, all Tech companies are aiming for a proper implementation of Under-display selfie camera as the notch/cut-out are not the answer for a full screen display. Personally, checked the latest Fold and Samsung is almost there with the under-display camera. In one or two generations, Samsung will perfect it. Then Apple will release it naming it "Submarine Eye" or something like that
This is because the feature is a workaround as they could not hide the notch completely. Personally I think, that just making a true i-shaped notch with pixels between the camera hole and remaining sensors would have been also fresh-looking and with no necessity to customise software and usage patterns, add hardware to service this area.

Just upgraded from an XR and it’s totally worth it. Could’ve got another 2 years out of the XR or even more, but my battery degraded to 80% of it’s original capacity and the phone started to feel a bit sluggish. The 14 pro is (obviously) so much better and a worthwhile upgrade.
Great review as usual! One note though. 24p in Cinematic video mode was the new frame rate introduced with the iPhone 14pro, not 30p. The iPhone 13pro always had 30fps in Cinematic video mode. In fact, it would only shoot in 30p which was always kind of strange since it is called "cinematic" mode which would imply a 24p standard. Now they've finally added 24p and 4k to Cinematic videos which should make all of us filmmakers and wanna-be filmmakers happy.
It’s mind bending that Apple still doesn’t offer real split-screen multitasking at least in their bigger Plus/ Max versions. That would be a real good reason for people to buy a heavier more expensive model. It would’ve been also nice, if the Pro versions supported the use of the Apple Pencil.
True, I find that feature extremely useful but I think it's more practical on tablets. On phones it's still good but not a feature that you would use frequently (on a phone).
well it would be very well implemented because of devs optimising the apps for split screen on ios, but i dont think that many people would use this, only in a very few scenarios i actually find split screen useful on a phone
7:54 I will likely do the same. When I got my Apple Watch 6 with the AOD, it was cool for a bit then got annoying and the hit to the battery life was more than I wanted to deal with, so it's been disabled on my Watch for quite some time. It also seemed rather useless on the watch because I almost always raise my arm to look at my watch, so the normal mechanic of the display coming on when I do that works fine for me.

MKBHD rarely makes a mistake but here it is: It wasn’t clear when you said cinematic mode added for 30fps. They added support now for 4k@30 now. Earlier it was just 1080@30fps on 13 pro. Additionally, they added support for the actual cinematic frame rate i.e 24fps as well which I found would be much more useful. 😄
Actually, he's taking a dig at the fact that up until now, the definition of Cinematic according to Apple, and others, was shooting at 24fps. So, his quip was an in-joke for purists, saying that now that Cinematic mode supports 30fps, it's official, thanks to Apple that Cinematic can in fact be 30fps.
@@KrisHyman Except cinematic mode used to ONLY shoot at 30fps. That was the standard. The new addition is the 24fps support (and 4K recording at both frame rates).
"Dynamic island" reminds me of the "second screen" on my LG Q8, we can set shortcuts, time, media players and is even used as a zoom dial and shooting option in the camera app but this feature is not used by any other apps beside the OS. I think that there is some inspiration taken from LG but no one ever thinks about it, LG has lots of good idea and it's just sad to see that brand died
No one will give LG credit for basically doing it first. They all say it's much "different" and there for doesn't count or matter, especially since LG discontinued it. Picture-in-picture also mimics some of it, but again no one brings it up. A lot of Apps like Instagram can't utilize picture-in-picture though, but Instagram and many more seem to be on board for this "new" Dynamic Island. I will agree with MKBHD that I am getting tired of saying it. 😂 I prefer my screen uninterrupted so I won't buy a phone that has it. I'll just continue to use my old and ancient split-screen and picture-in-picture functions. 🤣
It's because it's not a good idea. Literally put all those controls anywhere on the screen that you want. They're just dressing it up and calling it steak
@@GJBedrin the point is.. you have to put those things somewhere. Whatever you do, they occupy the screen in some way, or don’t, but then you want them anyway. It’s smart design because it morphs an existing constant across the screen to provide a consistent background to any of those functions. Sometimes when you dress up steak, you get to call it steak.
I honestly think the Dynamic Island is just another one of the small marketing schemes that apple does that works so well. Even though there is still a notch, this new feature made it look new for most people.
its crazy when apple makes something the other brands follow truly shows how they play the market so well
I mean, the main idea is the software-hardware integration, not the pill shaped camera
It is new though. Not only a physical redesign, but incorporated into the software as a usable space. Not saying it’s anything incredible, but for early adopters it’s an awesome addition that has some cool benefits over previous designs
It’s a much smarter use of that space than a simple hole
Read my name guys not a bot 😂
A few years ago I made the decision of switching phones every 3-5 years (depends) and always going for the largest storage option available.. No regrets yet.
I’m still on the 8plus & there’s nothing that I’ve wished it had except a better battery life (bc mine is at 75% max capacity vs original capacity) & I recently cracked the screen after daily use since launch. So now I’m on the fence, upgrade to 14 pro, fix the screen/replace battery on my 8plus, or just get something like the 13 since it’s cheaper than the newest model. Don’t take/edit pics or vids & I legitimately only use social media apps, iMessage & what’s app.
@@donniedarko86 13 will do
Why so many storage if you are going to change it that often?
I am SO excited to get this phone. I’ve got it ordered and it’s on the way, I got a gold 256GB Pro and it should be here in a few days and I’ve never been more genuinely excited for a phone. Upgrading from an 11 so it’s kind of a substantial upgrade you could say.

Mrmobile Michael Fischer does it better
@@vincentwong3156 while true... its cause android has a larger market globally... iPhone mainly has a choke hold in the American market
I'll be honest; I hope Android phones don't receive the "Dynamic Island." It works for the iPhone because the notch is quite large compared to most Android phones; however, I feel it's not necessary for Androids, and it may even be a con.
Absolutely, we don't want Android to have that ugly ass notch thing going on again.....we have our pro Androids really a beast with some stunning edge to edge displays and awesome viewing experience.....
Netflix is so terrible in iphone notch
Android will always copy shit
The always on display being in color is an odd choice. I was really excited about it but I thought it would be like the pixel or moto X where it just had small, white/grey icons on a black background to sip battery. I’ll give it a shot when mine shows up but.. probably end up turning it off sadly. What I love about always on displays was that it means I can check my notifications at a glance rather than having to grab my phone and look and pull me away from work
You should do more research but f it, I'll tell you anyway.
There are different filters you can use for the always on display and one of them is black and white.
The 14 pros also have 1 to 120hz refresh rate displays now so the always on display sips battery unlike android phones before variable refresh rate displays.
All in all, you're good to go when it comes to having an always on display on the new iPhone pro models.
@@thetechrealist huh?
Since you need to have all 3 subpixels on (red, green and blue) to generate white or grey, showing color should in theory use less battery. In reality it'll be negligible though.
@@jamesm6830 Amoled black :)
A free hint to Apple, should they have just inserted a nice colourful diode as in Android that would blink on notifications, this would have been better than AOD and people would gladly talk about this as well.
Great video! I think folks with an iPhone 11 or older would benefit with the upgrade like Marques said but in no way do I feel like I need the upgrade from my 13 Pro. Honestly I think I'm not budging until they bring USB-C ports into the iPhone. The 48MP camera is a gimmick as it's still really a 12MP final pic for most users. "Dynamic Island" is a cool concept but it didn't really make it a game changer. iOS 16 is great and I'm very happy with the features on my current phone. Love the customizable lock screens and changes they made to the notifications. You don't need the 14 to see those updates. Here's hoping the iPhone 15 finally brings the USB-C port so it doesn't take forever to get a video off of the iPhone.
@Bob Wangson You think people don’t do that? Some like having the latest greatest (myself included). The fact even I don’t feel the need to upgrade is saying how minor this new phone is.
11 pro owner here, i can wait.
Gimme type c, a *real* new SoC and… i dont know… a smaller dynamic island maybe…
@@Battlecry45 Yeah for sure! It seems like as time goes by, these iPhone updates are more and more minor. Now you can wait 2-3 generations before upgrading. Maybe not bad but the final upgrade is USB-C.

The camera upgrade looks very promising. Would have upgraded if it came with USB C instead of lightning. Fingers crossed for next year.
Here's a high rez video, now onnect this stupid cord that transfers slowly
@@gonzostwin1 still better than magsafe though, if they went full wireless im sure they would lose more customers then they gain.
Almost guaranteed usb c next year, increasing pressure from the community and EU as well as the fact that they basically promised they would use lightning for the next 10 years.
Same, tired of lightning
doubt USB C will come to US. As shown by their new no sim card in US only phones. They can just make a EU phone and US phone
The initial announcement of the aod lock screen, I loved. Now it shows too much, is too bright, and uses too much battery - has been ruined for me personally. The dynamic island is way over hyped for me personally as well. Long holding it for the widget is backwards. Gesturing for quick navigation at the bottom of the phone is quicker than taping small icons at the top. So for me personally, it's a pass.
Just turn off AOD. Lol
Long holding is necessary since you don’t want to accidentally press and open the widget

Excellent review, as always. I'm not sure I would agree the eSIM only architecture is limiting for international travel. I recently had to do some research for a non-technical friend who was planning international travel and I found a broad array of companies that offered eSIMs for most markets. You buy before leaving and get a QR code. Then when connected to the Internet (via WiFi) at your destination country, you scan the code and it programs the eSIM and you're up and running fairly quickly.
Marques only see issues I guess. Apple is working with major companies around the world to make that possible and never use a physical SIM card again. As you said, it’ll be easy as to scan a QR code to get internet access in other countries. I bet other phone companies will do the same thing.
In the Philippines, the only way you can get e-sim working is if you go for a postpaid plan. (Plus lock-in contract)
I know airalo offers international e-sim but the prices aren’t cheap especially if you plan to stay for a month or so but not long-term enough that you can justify paying postpaid plan.
But here’s me hoping Apple pushes e-sim adoption globally.😂

i like how they made IOS 16, more "one hand friendly" on the lock screen. Moving notifications to the bottom. But then make EVERYTHING go to the very top so its almost impossible to one hand it because of this "dynamic Island". However i like the implementation and idea.
Agreed. They confirmed that moving everything to the bottom is much better for reachability by releasing IOS 16, but then had to move interactions IN THE SAME MOMENT to the top for the iPhone 14 pro? It’s hilarious how people don’t realize how stupid it is. It may look kinda cool, but it’s by no means a “feature” that couldn’t have been done at the bottom 🤷🏽♂️ On top of that, the island is placed much lower than a normal notch.

that was decent but feel this is quite different in a lot of ways.
I'm still using my v20 and the moment I heard about I just kinda went "wait a minute"
Next the LG Voyager!
The LG phones were very cool. Too bad people looked at them and went "Wow, that's awesome. But I'm just gonna buy the latest Samsung Galaxy".
I used to own an LG G4 as a middle schooler, and no matter how many impressive phones I see, I just can't get over how ahead of its time that phone was. Couple features that have since been introduced to iPhones are the back of the phone taps, front screen tap to wake up, always on display, default weather animations, and the "dynamic island." and absolutely AMAZING camera quality as well. Honestly as a South Korean myself, kinda bummed that my childhood smartphone is never coming back.
Interestingly, a lot of those features go even further back - the Nokia N9 from 2011 had an always on display, tap to wake and other crazy innovations! It’s super cool to see features like that evolve over time :)
The G3 was even more ahead of its time
Man, I *loved* my G4 until I got the bootloop issue, got it replaced and then within a year the battery life just went to absolute shit. LG innovated like crazy but they had so many issues that just made a lot of their phones unreliable and even when those issues got resolved they never managed to recover from it.
i still use an LG G7 for the stellar (relatively, for a phone) headphone amp, and its a decent phone still up to this day. LG phones are underrated and underappreciated
in marketing apple company leads i don't realy know what happend to LG company but they were ahead of their time

I definitely have more knowledge about the product after watching this video, than I had, when i read the spec sheet.
As much as I find these small improvements over the 13 wicked cool...I think I'll hang on to my 13 pro until a USB C iPhone comes out. Not sure if I'm alone in this, but I am genuinely surprised the 14 wasn't the phone to finally ditch lightening.
I believe the next iteration of iPhones - the 15 - will have an increase in storage to allow for 8k video (and make full use of the new 48mp camera) and USB-C to increase export speeds.
I am with you on waiting till usb-c
Believe it or not, i have been waiting for a usb c in the iphone since 2018 .. now i give up, i will just buy the iphone 14 with grieve and sorrow
They will go portless before they go USB C. I too have been waiting for a few years for USB C to come to the iPhone but at this point I'm convinced it just won't happen.
Oh, I would 100% be waiting if I were you. I'm only upgrading 'cause I'm still on an XS. lol
LG was so underrated but novel in many of their designs. The LG V10 was a great phone. It was an absolute missed opportunity that they couldn't build off the platform. Curve displays, multiple cameras, notebook-like phone....LG was so creative.
The color that phone put out was amazing too
They bailed and made their fortune in tvs and monitors. I’m glad they put their skills to a market people appreciated them in.
LG produced some amazing phones, still use my lg g6 from time to time. Shame they left the smartphone game, same with HTC. HTC one m8 was a god tier phone for its time.
Watching this on my G7 Thinq. Had the htc m7 and m8 before. All underdogs
That phone sounds great but the design look like it belong to old peoples.
With the dynamic island - I'm wondering if the 'touch' will interfere with the physical sensors / cameras? The complete omission of updates to Siri continues to surprise me. Great review overall Markus - you make awesome content.
no it wont interfere with the physical sensors/ camera

in an extremely consumerist environment, where influencers are a walking advertisement at this point and we are all pushed to always have the latest and greatest new gadget, your candidness and honesty is greatly appreciated. you are one of the biggest tech youtubers and you’re constantly getting deals from the big brands and stuff, it would be easy for you to just push ppl to buy this new device but you still take the time to be frank & direct and state the honest truth; no matter how hard brands try to push us to buy their latest product; the *average* iphone 11 or later user wouldn't really notice a big difference between their current phone and upgrading to the 14 pro, no matter how cool that new shiny phone is. thanks for your honesty and great review as always
Great comment too. Marques isn't the most unbiased reviewer out there when it comes to iPhones, but he's definitely much more neutral compared to the various other tech channels that have an Apple bias.

@@mohitbendale8229 a thousand bucks actually
I will be keeping my red cracked iPhone se 2 and saving $1100. Still does everything this new phone can do. And I can take a nice vacation with that money.
I’ll be honest, the Dynamic Island felt like the only new feature from my 13 PM and even that is very minor. I don’t think you need to change phones these days for at least 2-3 years and with a battery change, even longer.
That dynamic island feature reminds me of LG V20 🤷♂️
Upgrading from the 8 Plus to the 14 Pro and I'm very excited for it. I probably waited longer than most.. I would've upgraded to the 13 Pro but got lazy, but the difference is big for someone like me. I've never had a phone with Face ID. I'm even amazed by that lol.
Very nice! You deserve it for waiting
Been using the 8 plus since its released and still amazing with iOS16 i hope i can upgrade too haha
I’m on 7 plus and waiting for the 15 or maybe even 16 but I know when I upgrade it’s gonna be mind blowing lol
It’s going to be a big change! I switched my iPhone 8 Plus to iPhone 13 pro last year and omg but I still love the 8 plus
Do next year. iPhone 15 will be having USB C port.

The UA-cam algorithm needs to stop simping to you and the rest of the 6’6 male tech reviewers. Your tunnel vision commentary is the reason we have phones that are made for giants.

'Already having' a feature doesn't mean that it's equally good as Apple has implement it, just like Marques and the vast majority of reviewers have mention before.
And this time around the difference is not only software-wise, Apple has made a big upgrade to the accelerometer which lets it calculate massively more g-forces, making VASTLY more accurate and reliable for the detection of a crash.
Marques is hands down the best and most consistent reviewer on this platform. I’ve been watching for years and I’m just in awe of how he continues to push the bar.

I assumed the A16 comparisons to the A13 were Apple's way of tailoring its keynotes to driving real-world user sales/upgrades instead of catering solely to the tech-inclined. Most people don't care about yearly processor changes because they're not upgrading their phone yearly - but Apple wants to speak to those on a roughly 3-year upgrade cycle, hence the 2019 chip comparison.
And you know those people can still buy a phone with A15 Bionic chip. A15 is more than enough.
Who knows which bionic chip is in their iPhone? Instead of doing that, they should show the phone generation instead iPhone 14 compared to iPhone 11.
Jesus Christ died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who has faith in him. True faith in Jesus will have you bear good fruit and *drastically* change for the better! Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness.

As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him.
Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE!
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals!
The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil.
I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God.

The LG V10 and V20 had a smaller secondary screen that provided quick access to specific apps, music controls, notifications, etc. It did what the iPhone dynamic island does. I loved that feature. The LG V10 and V20 are my all time favorite android phones based on functionality and aesthetics. Too bad they had flaws related to hardware and now LG doesn't make phones anymore.
I'm actually still using my v20, the loss of features never really made getting a new phone worth it to me, Especially since I want to keep the removable battery
I had a V20 for a little while, one of the best phones I ever had at the time.
If he way reviewing an LG he will call it a gimmick
True, so ahead of it time
Love my v20. Power bank also
I really love the dynamic island, wish they did a sort of dynamic notch for the regular 14 because the dynamic part is purely software, but this is outstanding and i love it!
As an 11Pro user I considered upgrading but decided to hold off for now. One thing I liked about apples new update was that you can use your iPhone camera on your Mac for better quality and the whole top down view (still don’t get how it works but that’s super cool). That’s one thing I want to learn more about.
same, i'll wait for the 15pro
Interesting! I want to look into that too. I still have the iPhone 7plus, and I will likely upgrade next year. I wonder if Apple will sell app suites, a collection of apps with a subscription fee. & I wonder if Apple will create irl membership perks, based on the iPhones you own.
Next year will have Usbc too 😊
Dont upgarde till 17
Don’t feel obligated to upgrade frequently. To apple’s credit, iPhones from the 6s on have had really long lifespans. I didn’t upgrade my 6s to a 12 until April
i think reachebility will be huge factor for dynamic continent. because its not island. and people wont use this feature very often
🎯
Finally a comment which makes sense
Agree!
Apple users and fans seem to be embracing it so far as I have read/ seen. However, as an iPhone user (11 pro max) I think my next upgrade is going to be Samsung. The screens cannot be beat and no obnoxious notch.
@@hdca18 that's cause they haven't tried it, it's literally impossible to use one handed and unless apple fixes this it won't be used by majority
My only concern with the dynamic island is that people will definately have a dump of fingerprints on their front cam and gotta clean their camera everytime they wanna take a selfie..
I hope this happens.
this exactly
How greasy are your hands 🤢
I clean it every time anyway
As an adult, I am capable of training myself to not touch the camera lens which is just a small part of the dynamic island.
I bet listening to the song “Gandi- Criminal “ in that phone , will be dope 🔥🔥🔥
love the sound of sea birds that refers to the iphone island 0:12 sound design 👏 😍
I have 15 but i really don't like dynamic island, sometimes its annoying. Apple should make phones like Sony Experia without notch on screen.
Watching the close ups and seeing the fingerprints on the front facing camera while using dynamic island seems like it would be super annoying needing to clean that for pictures all the time. Or people who don't care will just have fuzzy/foggy pictures regularly.
THIS ↑ ! I was thinking same from the first moment I've seen DI. So many reviews of DI and none of the reviewers mentioned this.
I’m going to avoid touching the camera as best I can😭
Fingerprints rarely show up on photos. You’ll be fine.
@@Poopdeck1015 I believe you but I think
I’m just such a clean freak that I couldn’t have it looking smudgy in general
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fingerprint show up on a photo. Ever
Unless your hands are absolutely disgusting, in which case having a dirty front camera will be the least of your problems, it literally won’t be a problem
The only thing that bothers me a lot with iOS 16 is the battery icon is always filled in regardless of the battery percentage, I feel like now that youve gotten used to having to reading the battery percentage of how much it’s filled in it will take a while to get used to that
only if its in RED battery
Yep im very bothered by that
You can change it in settings
we can turn off the battery percentage if we want to ignore that FILL
Kinda stupid because you literally see the percentage number which is THE POINT of it! When you don't want that you can just turn it off and see the normal battery icon.
It's just the best way to do it because if they mixed both it would be pretty much impossible to read and make both useless.
Yeah for how small of a feature it seems, I love the dynamic island and am excited to see what the future holds for it.
it will get removed eventually is most likely the outcome knowing apple
i'm just wondering how much the Dynamic island actually add to the experience. i had to buy a new one because the old one died, but with IOS16 the whole island thing is pretty much the same, only now when you are watching something that pill is always going to be there. very annoying and wished they just kept it at the top of the screen

The only reason I need to upgrade my 11 Pro Max is also the USB-C connectivity. I just want to use one wire for all my things. Puhlease.

The screen refresh rate is worth it to at least go for the 13 Pro
POV: you’re watching this on the iPhone 14 pro
Nope
Samsung m21
To me personally the true limit of the new camera is that they did not implement a 5x optical zoom. This is only partially replaced by cropping a more detailed 48mp photo but it still lacks for all those that like me don’t usually take photo of people.
The reason they didn’t implement a 5x optical zoom is because that amount requires dedicated periscope lenses technology. Its coming with the iPhone 15 pro ultra next year according to rumors. Digital zoom does not equal optical zoom. 3x optically is all you can achieve without need special side stacked lenses hardware.
Can we just appreciate the attention to detail and editing through out the vid these TikTok dancers that do nothing and put Minmal effort in they get millions millions of views but mkhbd is working in an environment that noT that many people watch but he still manages to clock millions of views
Agree completely. I'm about ready to upgrade my 12, but USB-C and more zoom (5x would be fine) is a top request so hopefully the 15 next year is the thing.

I’m a dynamic island boy
It's true. The iPhone 14 (non pro) is almost identical to the 13 with 2 extra GB of ram and the 13 was practically the same as the 12 with minor performance enhancements...
It’s cool what they did with the integration of hardware and software with the island…but honestly it seems more invasive than the notch. Wasn’t that the point of people wanting the notch removed? Granted I haven’t used it, but from everything I see it looks worse when watching a video/etc…I don’t think it will last long. I think it is just a stepping stone to completely removing it.
It’s definitely a stepping stone to completely removing it
When the notch first appeared, I though it would be more annoying that it actually turned out to be. Most video when viewed wide, doesn't go to the edges anyway, so no problem there. The UI had mostly been designed around it anyway, so again no major issues there. Dynamic Island just seems to call attention to this mole. I don't care for it. Maybe a mis-step like Touch Bar on the Mac?
The hole punch is fine, but I hope Apple gives an option to turn this "dynamic island" on and off. Also when a video plays, it'll be off by default.
They literally put a huge hole in the screen and everyone just went with it because they made a very nice software integration for it. Its ridiculous!
I personally think this is worse, you now have a black surface stretching further down into the screen. I’m happy it at least looks more aesthetic than before, but that’s all it really is, aesthetic- not productive. It’s a good job on the marketing team and that’s really it. I bet the design engineers argued the other way, but marketing was able to convince them otherwise.
I’m not happy about the esim only option. If my phone breaks I like the freedom of being able to just swap my sim into another phone and keep moving. This is a limitation that I find unnecessary.
It's prob Apple's play to get more money.
@@kevvvvj how?
@@thepebblesexplore83 They will either make you pay a fee to move your esim or something similar, and this will definitely make it more likely for people to get locked into the Apple ecosystem.
@@kreeves1459 eSIM doesn't care what kind of phone you have, it's up to your carrier to "program" the eSIM. If you swap out SIMs frequently this can become cumbersome, because sometimes it's "instant" & sometimes it takes awhile for eSIM to register. If you stick with one carrier & don't switch often, you won't care. I'm currently using an eSIM on my Pixel 6a.
@@kevvvvj Not outright but it allows them to save money by not building a SIM tray and reader in the phone. Their whole thing is having a little ports/openings as possible. Next to go will be the lightning port probably in the next two gens.
The funny thing with the dynamic island is that it clearly started out as a way to camouflage the notch yet they ended up making a complete feature out of it that could've been developed and implemented in the absence of a notch.
Yea, Android hardware is already heading towards no notch/invisible camera hole. I'd still enjoy an interactive notification bar like this! Competition is good.

Just u lol mines working completely fine
I hate it too
It makes sense to have the multitasking features out of reach of the fingers. If the dynamic island was at the bottom of the phone, people would keep triggering it accidentally.
That said, I think that the intention wasn’t to design a new multitasking feature, but to make use of the new design in the best possible way.
Obviously, because it isn't a true multitasking solution. It only works with some apps that take advantage of it while running in the back. A lot of apps will never show up there. It's just a happy coincidence. If they intended for it to be a multitasking feature they would have marketed the hell out of it.
No, the intention is to divert from their incapability of making an under display camera by some sugar coating of the last year's cut out design
no it doesn't. having it right at the top middle is extremely hard to reach with one hand, especially if you have the bigger version. it's awkward at best and completely unreachable at worst if you have small hands
@@vongoreviews4628 Under display cameras are dogshit though. Why would Apple do it?
@@kevinjohnanand Ultimately, all Tech companies are aiming for a proper implementation of Under-display selfie camera as the notch/cut-out are not the answer for a full screen display. Personally, checked the latest Fold and Samsung is almost there with the under-display camera. In one or two generations, Samsung will perfect it.
Then Apple will release it naming it "Submarine Eye" or something like that
One bad thing I can see about the dynamic island is you’d have to constantly wipe the selfie camera from fingerprints
It's not like you didn't need to do this before. Phone gets touched all over the place.
Just wipe your cameras before you use them. Takes 1s.
1.5 second task
You're right. It kinda sucks..
This is because the feature is a workaround as they could not hide the notch completely. Personally I think, that just making a true i-shaped notch with pixels between the camera hole and remaining sensors would have been also fresh-looking and with no necessity to customise software and usage patterns, add hardware to service this area.
i’m touching the notch already constantly when i want the page to go up and haven’t had any issues taking pictures

Lol me too I just ordered mine
Just upgraded from an XR and it’s totally worth it. Could’ve got another 2 years out of the XR or even more, but my battery degraded to 80% of it’s original capacity and the phone started to feel a bit sluggish. The 14 pro is (obviously) so much better and a worthwhile upgrade.
Just an update, I have upgraded to the 14 pro and I LOVE IT
Lol mine is cracked to and I have a 12 pro max, I’m only upgrading because they are offering $800 damaged.
Great review as usual! One note though. 24p in Cinematic video mode was the new frame rate introduced with the iPhone 14pro, not 30p. The iPhone 13pro always had 30fps in Cinematic video mode. In fact, it would only shoot in 30p which was always kind of strange since it is called "cinematic" mode which would imply a 24p standard. Now they've finally added 24p and 4k to Cinematic videos which should make all of us filmmakers and wanna-be filmmakers happy.
Came here to say this. I was surprised to hear him say that. I’m happy Cinematic mode has 24p now.
there are better and detailed review...
Why would you want a lower frame rate?
@@mrotter3029 I wonder the same - I want to further research this, but can a cinematographer shed some light for us please? 😃
@mrotter @slipp lower frame rates is the industry standard for movies. Your favorite movie was most likely filmed in 24p.
It’s mind bending that Apple still doesn’t offer real split-screen multitasking at least in their bigger Plus/ Max versions. That would be a real good reason for people to buy a heavier more expensive model. It would’ve been also nice, if the Pro versions supported the use of the Apple Pencil.
True, I find that feature extremely useful but I think it's more practical on tablets. On phones it's still good but not a feature that you would use frequently (on a phone).
Have no desire on my phone. I have an iPad/Macbook for that.
well it would be very well implemented because of devs optimising the apps for split screen on ios, but i dont think that many people would use this, only in a very few scenarios i actually find split screen useful on a phone
as someone with adhd I agree
I have no want for this feature, tried to use it on even the biggest of android phones since nougat, and it’s never worked or looked good

When I got my Apple Watch 6 with the AOD, it was cool for a bit then got annoying and the hit to the battery life was more than I wanted to deal with, so it's been disabled on my Watch for quite some time. It also seemed rather useless on the watch because I almost always raise my arm to look at my watch, so the normal mechanic of the display coming on when I do that works fine for me.

It wasn’t clear when you said cinematic mode added for 30fps. They added support now for 4k@30 now. Earlier it was just 1080@30fps on 13 pro. Additionally, they added support for the actual cinematic frame rate i.e 24fps as well which I found would be much more useful. 😄
He also said “connecting AirPods” twice! 😱
Actually, he's taking a dig at the fact that up until now, the definition of Cinematic according to Apple, and others, was shooting at 24fps. So, his quip was an in-joke for purists, saying that now that Cinematic mode supports 30fps, it's official, thanks to Apple that Cinematic can in fact be 30fps.
It is wild to call it cinematic at 30fps. They’ve had 24fps since the iPhone 8, but couldn’t figure it out on the 13, but they did it at 30fps?
@@KrisHyman you cracked the code. You're not living under a rock.
@@KrisHyman Except cinematic mode used to ONLY shoot at 30fps. That was the standard. The new addition is the 24fps support (and 4K recording at both frame rates).
Feels awesome to watch this video on my “14 Pro Max”🤪😂😂
"Dynamic island" reminds me of the "second screen" on my LG Q8, we can set shortcuts, time, media players and is even used as a zoom dial and shooting option in the camera app but this feature is not used by any other apps beside the OS. I think that there is some inspiration taken from LG but no one ever thinks about it, LG has lots of good idea and it's just sad to see that brand died
No one will give LG credit for basically doing it first. They all say it's much "different" and there for doesn't count or matter, especially since LG discontinued it. Picture-in-picture also mimics some of it, but again no one brings it up. A lot of Apps like Instagram can't utilize picture-in-picture though, but Instagram and many more seem to be on board for this "new" Dynamic Island. I will agree with MKBHD that I am getting tired of saying it. 😂 I prefer my screen uninterrupted so I won't buy a phone that has it. I'll just continue to use my old and ancient split-screen and picture-in-picture functions. 🤣
LG v10
nobody cares. They copy iphone making a cellular phone to begin with. There is only a need for one brand. You are all used for money.
It's because it's not a good idea. Literally put all those controls anywhere on the screen that you want. They're just dressing it up and calling it steak
@@GJBedrin the point is.. you have to put those things somewhere. Whatever you do, they occupy the screen in some way, or don’t, but then you want them anyway. It’s smart design because it morphs an existing constant across the screen to provide a consistent background to any of those functions. Sometimes when you dress up steak, you get to call it steak.
Android has always displayed notifications and useful info. At the top of the screen so there is really no need to do what Apple is doing now
@CJJK so let's make the notch bigger?
@@soberanisfam1323 if you think the island is bigger than the notch you may need glasses
@@ILoveGrilledCheese dynamic iLand makes the notch bigger. You may need the glasses
