I want to share with you my long term experience using the iPhone 14 Pro. In my original review I said for first time Pro model iPhone offers better value (phone per $) than the non-pro model. The question is have past 6 months using 14 Pro changed that and is still a good phone to buy today? This video cover everything you need to know!

What's your favourite feature of the iPhone 14 Pro?
The Dynamic island
The dynamic island and 120 refresh rate!
My fvourite iphone 14 pro feature is the camera video stabilizing its really good
@itspaulgervoso26
The cameras
A gold 14 Pro became my first Pro iPhone in December as I’ve always purchased the less expensive versions, probably the best feature of this phone for me is the battery life. I know there is better battery life to be had, but I came from a 12 Mini so to me this is the best battery life I’ve ever seen in a phone. I also appreciate having a 3X zoom camera
Try 13 pro max , u ll be amazed 😂
ill be upgrading from an iPhone 8 lmao!!
The camera is honestly my favorite part about the 14 pro😂🙌
Upgraded from a regular 12 to the 14 Pro Max. For me it’s 3 things that really stand out: The display, the camera and the battery life.
Just upgraded yesterday and love the iPhone 14 pro max!
From my experience and others’ opinions, the new iPhone has better camera and good stabilization. Not only that, the Dynamic island pretty much gave a kick and elegance to it.
Agreed!
It did and I hope other apps will use it soon!
Another finely crafted long term review video, Dion! I have the iPhone 14 Pro Max but my huge hands make my case proportionally the same as most people having a 14 Pro. There’s absolutely nothing I do not adore about my still mint condition iPhone 14 Pro Max in Deep Purple.
Hi Steven, good to hear from you. thanks for the compliment. Deep Purple, exciting color!
Your videos are so informative and you actually go through the things that we as consumers actually care about in GREAT detail! And for that you have my appreciation, sir! Keep it up!
Thanks Lincoln, appreciated
Getting my 14 pro in a couple of days after having Android for the last 6 years. This review is literally the best there is out there and explains everything that i wanted to know!
Thanks and enjoy the transfer to another system!
so how is it going with your iPhone pro? I´m thinking of getting this too instead of the 15 but I´ve heard the battery isn´t good on the 14
@@catha86 so far and amazing experience! The camera is insane and every picture that comes out is jaw dropping and never ceases to surprise me. Everything else is also exceptional. As for the battery, it’s holding up well (a full day on a full charge and my screen on time is around 7-8 hours) I’ve also heard the issues about the battery after like 8-9 months where the battery life is degrading. But I’m following charging practices that apple suggests(charge when battery is around 20% and charge till 80%) so need to see how it is after a few months. I suggest you go for the 15 pro if there is no price drop for the 14 pro cause it’s priced the same as launch day but if there is a price drop for the 14 pro, I’d recommend totally go for it!
@@krishnatejaskuntar5688 There will be a drop for sure since the 15 will come out the same price but it won´t drop too much I think. I am not in a hurry to get a new phone but I think 14 pro sounds really good.
Hey Dion I love your reviews. You’re the perfect reviewer with your smooth talking style and would make an excellent pitch man for any product you review.
Hi, thanks, great compliment, appreciated!
This phone is so stunning especially the Jet black colour 🖤
Excellent review mate ❤️
The better cameras,dynamic island and the overall brightness of the phone
Just a small correction: saying that the S23 charges at 45W is wrong.
It is the S23 Ultra that charges at 45W, as the smaller S23 (but also the S23+) stops at 25W.
My wife drop her pouch (iphone 14 pro inside) from motorcycle to the roadway at medium speed, and trigger crash detection. After checking for any scratch or bend, she did not found any single scratch or any bend. Glad to have 14 pro
Thanks for sharing!
I like that it has a faster chip, and promotion vs my current iPhone 12.
pau1x
Form factor is solid and that display is just the best for me.
The 14 phone pro max is the best one out there
I just got my new iPhone 14 pro max today I’m loving it ❤
I picked the 14 Plus instead of the 14 Pro just because it has a bigger display and battery life is awesome. I definitely would like to try a Pro model for the camera system, but I’ll wait until the iPhone 16 lineup 👊🏼
Ah, the 16, you are already planning ahead! In the meantime enjoy the 14 Plus
Love my 14 pro it’s been the best upgrade since I went from the 5 to the X
how is the battery?
@chistir23
Easiest answer for me is the dynamic island, followed by its beastly battery. I upgraded from 12mini so i'm loving the "no need to bring battery pack" 😅 just to last for a day. The high refresh rate can't be dismissed, and lastly the cameras.
Also from the videos I have been watching on the iphone 14 pro,i think my favourite feature would be the dynamic island
how is the battery?
Coming to the 14PM from the Note20U, I always felt the PM was on the compact side--which might make some iPhone users laugh. My Note was large(r)! I loved it, so moving to the PM made a lot of sense to me, even if it was an adjustment. I understand, however, that some prefer the smaller form factor. To me, bigger is just better: bigger battery, bigger display, etc. Different strokes, for different folks!
You choose captivity over freedom. I went just opposite went from 13 pro max to s23 plus and never missd iphone a single day.
@@prashantmankarmacharya lol enjoy
@@prashantmankarmacharya As much as i love my iphones, i can say androids are so much better especially if you are a techy or like free stuff
@@zureai true
H except for longevity, iPhones don't have anything with coveting.
How is the battery on a cellular heavy day in which for example you are travelling all day? I found the battery on my iphone 12 is worse on cellular and doesnt last me a full day wheras when i use wifi its fine.
just a question if i get the 13 pro is it worth it or should i just get the 14 pro
The camera and screen tht samsung makes for iPhone is my favorite
Thanks for another interesting review video
My pleasure!
The phone is great, but I have some issues about dynamic island. For example, when I'm switching between the apps that do require Face ID, DI freezes and Face ID doesn't work anymore. It's not even possible to unlock the phone with it. There are few more bugs with the sound, for example, turning off an IG story and the sounds keeps going in the background.
@The real guy 227
I love how apple still kept MagSafe for the 14s and not discontinuing it like we have seen other companies do😅
Hi! Nice review, watchin from my 14 pro! :) just wondering, what’s the wallpaper you’re using on your phone?? I really like it!
Thanks, that is a photo I took
@thechloeboy
The 48-megapixel camera system on the iPhone 14 Pro allowed you to take the "greatest images and video, which is why I liked it.

I actually transitioned from the 14 Plus to the 14 Pro. I thought in the first place that the dynamic island would be the most annoying thing after the e change, but after 6 months of use, sometimes, I don’t even notice that it’s there. Plus, it’s actually very handy in some times.
He said the same for me but apparently he doesnt want to reach you for further information. So thats a scam..
Yes, this is a scam. Unfortunately there are many criminals out there who try to use the identity of UA-camrs. I announced the winner of the giveaway today, via Instagram and the Community Tab of my channel. Remember: I will never ask for money, and I pay everything for the winner, transport, customs, taxes. Best, Dion

I had the S23 Ultra and now the 14 Pro Max. What I dont like are the pictures if the sky is light. I shot a selfie of me and the sky was just blowing out. The 23 Ultra handled that very good and after 1-2 seconds the sky was blue. How can I fix that?
I’ve had for 6 months can’t complain love it
Great to hear!
Did you notice any problem with light reflection when pointing the camera to light sources (even small) like birthday candles? I always get big, disturbing reflection that I never noticed in my previous iPhones' camera.
Great phone & I have it. However, I'd not have upgraded to it from the 12 Pro looking back. I feel it gets rather boring after so long using, I've had from 3G however I did try others from Samsung, HTC, LG etc.
The 120hz I coukd find no difference than to my 12 Pro. Certainly I never noticed, iPhone was so smooth anyway.
One thing is the watch, you simply can't have it if no iPhone, so I think the eco system is reason I've not had a swap.
Got first iPhone 14pro max it’s amazing thinking about Apple Watch and MacBook Pro trying to learn the system but it’s smooth and looking forward to updates
HI, enjoy that great phone!
@landeravelino
the 14 pro is just IT. I think this will stay as a beast for years to come. Just the USB-c in my opinion as the factor to watch.
@mmooossss
been using the 14 pro since november last year. my phone got this tiny scratches on the frame due to the dust that gets in the case. other than that it is a nice phone. worth the upgrade from my note 10 plus.
i bought the regular 14 pro back in Sept 2023. I absolutely love the size and design of the device. its perfect since I am not a very heavy user and the battery lasts almost an entire day. it fits in my pocket very easily. Phones are just getting bigger and bulkier and the 14 Pro brings a balance in the lineup.
Great to hear!
@izzatfr_
I still can't stand that Dynamic Island is positioned way below the screen top. Very distracting while watching videos in landscape compared to notch (which is easily ignored because it is connected to the bezel). It's a great phone nonetheless.
The pro has been working great
@@Schuddeboom1 Malik lance
Natasha, please do not write to that fake account; it is of a scammer. Best, Dion
@mikecroscope thank you for this review! I love the pro models!
the dynamic island
@robertoformigli
I have an iPhone 11 Pro and I'm thinking of moving to the 14 Pro, but the truth is that the phone is aging very well and the additional features, perhaps not justify the change at all, I mean, the 11 Pro will probably receive updates until 2025 or more, so I want to get the most out of it.
Excellent videos as always Dion, maybe a comparison between old Pro versions vs newer ones would be good.
Thanks Roberto, also thanks for the suggestion. Something for the future!
@bramfolbert
Lovely video as always. I think that the high refresh rate on the Pro would be the biggest benefit as opposed to the non-Pro model
Thanks Bram
** 11:38 S23 supports 25W only plus and ultra support 45W **
@nahalvesz
I really enjoed your react, because you showed a long-time use, and normally the other videos just show the first impression, Im trying to save money to buy the 14 pro, and this kind of overview helps a lot during my choice !
Sometimes, youtube blacks out but keeps playing the sound. I’ve been updating regularly but it still happens.
its camera and definitely its design
@Dion_Schuddeboom. whattttt are you kidding me rn?
@Dion_Schuddeboom. plz tell me it’s not a joke or I’m gonna start screamin
Off topic, but I’m a bookbinding nerd, and I’m swooning over the book you’re using as a prop. It looks like it was handmade.
thanks, you have a good eye!
14 pro max,the way to go!!
I have the pro and love it
@laaaably
I've never had an iPhone ever but I always watch reviews like this or comparison videos to see which phone is more suitable for me when I already have a chance to buy one and what I've noticed from all of the reviews I've seen, iPhone camera stabilization is really top tier. I really love this certain feature to the point that I'm considering buying one if I have enough money already hehe. I also enjoy doing short reels or short videos that's why I appreciate camera stabilization so much. By the way, thank you for doing this kind of reviews because it's really helpful for people who want to spend their money on smartphones that can last them longer.
How does the iPhone 14 pro doesn’t last all day?
Are people on the phone all day without working?
While I’m working on my laptop, I’m not on my phone. Besides maybe music with AirPods on. Besides that I’m not using it while working.
So how is it that people are working and using the phone so much ?
im currently thinking about getting the iPhone 14 Pro Max or waiting for the iPhone 15 Pro… would you guys say its worth to wait for it?
Hi Emre, I have no idea, but if you are not in a hurry I would wait a few more months
Can someone help with telling me what model of the samsung that comparing next to the 14 pro at 13:28
Can a college student can have 14 pro can the battery life server a day
Hopefully we see the day where we can have the pro max battery life in the pro phone. I hate big phones
I gotta say my favorite feature of all is definitely the new always on display. it is so nice to be able to glance down and see the time without having to pick up my phone. Another super great one is the safety check! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve totally forgot or discard how many apps have my information, and I think the emergency reset is a great feature to be able to utilize. Definitely reassured me about who I need to remove from accessing my data, and who I can continue to let access it. It definitely is something I show to my clients when they come into my job asking about how to keep scammers away!
Hi Moka, thanks for sharing your thoughts
@@DionMedia Thank you for reading!
I always read, but do not always have the time to react
it's called a watch. It's a new invention you might have heard of.
I'm glad you finally got a android feature
@kvncher
ProMotion + Camera = Best Phone Ever lol
I bought it for the high brightness display
Cause performance are great in all iphone from the 12
@pixelpratik clean and straight to the point video 🔥
Thanks!
After recent usage of 13 Pro Max, S22 Ultra, Xperia 1 IV, S23 Ultra i decided to come back to smaller phone and chosen 14 pro. After came back i realised how good this phone is as overall package. With my usage battery lasting minimum 3 days, face id is simply great, video quality on highest level and this lovely manual mute switch 😊. From area of improvement i would say that photo processing could be better while making photos on sunny day, but indoor iphone is killing s23 series not to mention shutter itself which is the best in class.
Hi, thanks for sharing your insight!
Can we turn-off the 120hz refresh rate in 14pro? Maybe to save battery health..
Yes, you can turn it down, if necessary to 1HZ
@firerains
I feel like upgrading from the 13 iphone to the 14 pro is a good upgrade
❤❤💜 ur videos.
I've small question, my current phone is iPhone 14 Plus and it is worth upgrading to 15 Plus cuz rumors say it has 48mp and pill design.
Hi Mirza, I would honestly not know. The 14 plus is a phone to be of service for many years, but let us see what the 15 will bring
@@DionMedia Thx for reply and looking forward to ur future comparison between 14 Plus and 15 Plus so I can make decision. As always ur videos are amazing and informative.
Thanks! That video will come, for sure
@jay4thyy
I actually really like the dynamic island and the 120hz refresh rate. Once you go to 120hz you can never go back. Great video!
I had it for years on android glad you finally get 120 refresh rate and twenty years from now you will enjoy the fold
I have been a long term android user and i am looking to switch to IOS..At the moment i am debating if i should wait for the 15 Pro or buy the 14 Pro now.I am in no hurry for a new phone,but the leaked 200$ increase for the 15 Pro is really throwing me off.
What do you suggest?
It is July now, so if you are not in a hurry I would wait a few more months. What we hear now are only rumors, but later we will know for sure. And probably the price of the 14 Pro will drop
Premium feel in hand 👌
The edges are to sharp
Willing to get ever that IPhone 14 pro model whenever I catch up the tech reviews on youtube platform. But, I will choose the standard IPhone 14 because of its value and make me completely capable to take it while the price is cheaper than 14 Pro. Really impressed to Dynamic Island where it's existing on 14 Pro. So, do you think my favor one the standard 14 is the right choice?
HI, there is no good or bad. What works for you works for you and I will be the last one to say that the 14 is not an excellent phone
@@DionMedia Thanks bro for your optimistic thought and advice me. I would change my mind and prepare to take 14 Pro. But, I will make some savings a while.
Yes, it is more expensive. Good saving and then enjoy the 14 pro
@jayseb75
Another great video. I’m still on the 13 Pro Max, this being the first time I haven’t upgrade yearly in ages. However the 14 Pro does look great here. BTW, the Spigen Tr screen protector is a great call!
Thanks, also good to hear about the Spigen.
Very good❤
Thanks 😄
iPhone 14 pro is good but its just not built like older model iphones. The titaninium 15 must be an incredible change.
I'll wait for 15 pro.
Type c😂 i badly need this😂
I love my rose gold iPhone 14 Pro. But if the rumors are true about a black/red Iphone 15. Then I might just have to upgrade come September.
September will be exciting!
Love from India 🇮🇳 ❤

Hi Liron, no idea as the specs of the 15 are not know yet, but if you are not in a hurry, why don’t you wait?
@@DionMedia happy thank you :)
I’m not in hurry, it just gets really annoying to see 60% of betray at 12:00 and I change it all night and an hour while getting to work. :/
Thanks again :))
good review - but after a few days with a new iphone 14 pro (coming from pixel 6 pro) I can confidently say the cameras are NOT the best system on a smartphone. They may have potential to be, but Apples deep fusion is deeply inaccurate in many scenarios. It doesn't cope well in scenarios with lots of edges (e.g. in a wood with lots of leaves or grass). The image I want is only there for a second until apple's computational photography messes it up. Done in prores improves but I don't want to have to toggle all the time just to get the photo I want because of the over sharpening and bad HDR.
It copes much better with items that are nearer (up to 10 metres) and/or solid objects. I'm hoping they sort this in a update because it's purely software. If they don't I'll be going back to my trusty pixel.
And, tbh - after testing some side by side RAW images from pixel and iphone (12 v 48 megs) the 12 meg resolutions are brilliant from the pixel. There is slightly more detail, but I mean you have to crop in loads to notice it on the prores shots.
Video is excellent on the iphone.
And, don't get me started on having to look at the word 'clock' underneath the clock widget .. what's that about?
Overall camera system. Which includes video. It doesn’t necessarily mean best photos.
@mohlatter
i want a comparison video between the iphone 14 Po and the xiaomi 13 (regular) like the only videos i found are not in english i would appreciate a video to compare those two devices
HI, good idea, although I have a full agenda, but thanks for the suggestion!
@stanhudepohl
i think the iphone 14 pro with the dynamic island is finally a worthy upgrade in the iphone pro series
My fav phone before 15 Pro 😅
@amateurapple
Honestly I feel like the 14 Pro isn't that big of an upgrade, and that includes the camera. The 13 Pro is about the same price new on remaining stock as the regular 14, and I would personally recommend that over anything. The camera sharpening is quite annoying, and the Dynamic island, although it has since grown on me, is still gimmicky until Apple adds some actual real functionality to it, which they probably will with iOS 17. The only major upgrade I see with the 14 series in general is the Super Steady mode, quite useful for my use case. The fact 4 year old Samsung A series devices had that feature is astounding, but Apple's implementation is far superior in every way, from stability, to sharpness and quality, not to mention the audio.
Also has anyone noticed that the RAM management on the 14 series is better than on the 13 Pro and 12 Pros? All of them are said to have 6GB but in my experience feel like they have a couple gigs more.
Is it worth waiting for iPhone 15 to come out or just buy iPhone 14 Pro?
Hi, I really do not know, but if you are not in a hurry, why don’t you wait?
@wizp0p
It's actually nice that the iPhone 14 pro is getting positive reviews but the my only problem about 14 pro is the amount of screen space the dynamic island takes. Who else agrees?
@joshjeebles
Not a fan of the pill at the top of the screen. I've seen pictures of what it looks like with content wider than 16:9. Thankfully it looks like they plan on going to a single hike punch with the iPhone 16pro.
😅i lost my iPhone 14pro couldn’t afford it anymore so i went for iPhone 14 and I’m still loving it but pro is just better
Buy it or wait for the 15/15 pro?
Hi Michele, no idea, but if you are not in a hurry, why not wait?
@@DionMedia You are right, thanks.
SE 2020 to 14 pro 😂🎉
@frankmarbs
im on the regular 11, hoping to get an upgrade! the 14 would be nice since i do video editing on my phone, and with the more powerful chip, exporting would be waaay better
Andymkpae...never used an iphone before. I'm a die hard Samsung user but your reviews will definitely make me change my mind about the iphone. Nice job Dion....keep it up.👍
alfonsoayeras / @alfonsoayeras / alfonsayerasiii
im not sure 💀
I really like the iPhone 14 pro/promax models, because the dynamic island, the 48mp cameras, action mode, a16 bionic chip and everything else!
@tonyfas99 I love the camera the most but wish the phone were lighter. I find it a bit too heavy.
Here's the real question. S23 Ultra or 14 pro Max? Which camera and video is better?

@actually_pablo
I'm still deciding on the normal 14 or 14 pro
Or should i just wait for the 15?
good question :)
@roget83
I would have to say that my favorite feature is the video. Some other phones camera's preform well but no one comes close to the iPhone when it comes to video.
@mgont_stuff
Always great to see real life experience and thoughts. Thanks for getting back to these devices after a while!
Guess the best Pro series feature is camera/photo capabilities.
@urbanwrench
Loved the video as always! This perspective is something that is lost with big time UA-camrs, whereas your content seems fresh!
Hi, good to hear
