The CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, has just introduced the high-end versions for this year, the iPhone 14 pro.

New “Dynamic Island” replaces the Fringe
These devices have a revised front design with a smaller cutout for the front-facing camera, resulting in a larger display. Apple refers to the cutout as a “dynamic island,” and it can display notifications and other system data, such as baseball scores.
Upgraded Camera with new Flash System
New Variation of Colours:
Apple launched the new iPhone with 5 different colors, adding Deep Purple to the new series of iPhone.
New Satellite Emergency Feature
Wednesday at its event, Apple confirmed a long-rumored capability to connect the iPhone 14 series to satellites for emergency services via a partnership with Globalstar.
The capability is designed to connect the antennas of an iPhone 14 directly to a satellite in order to deliver a message in locations without cell tower coverage.
Ashley Williams, Apple’s manager of satellite modelling and simulation, stated that a phone’s algorithm compresses text messages to a size that “takes less than 15 seconds to transfer” to a satellite, before relaying it to a ground station and an emergency service provider.
The emergency satellite service begins in November and is offered for two years free of charge with the purchase of an iPhone 14.
Globalstar stated in a filing that it will “allocate 85 percent of its current and future network capacity” to support the iPhone 14 emergency satellite service.
Satellite communications, which already have many networks that allow specialised, purpose-built phones, is entering a new phase of investment. Companies such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX and AST SpaceMobile have already announced agreements with mobile service providers with the aim of bringing satellite services straight to conventional consumer handsets.

Our Thoughts..
The iPhone 14 doesn’t have too much of a difference compared to an iPhone 13. It is a great new phone but there aren’t too many distinctions between the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 14 series besides the Display Island and the emergency SOS feature. If I were to upgrade my iPhone, I will go for the iPhone 13 since it is much cheaper when the iPhone 14 is released.
If my phone still lasts for another 1 year until the iPhone 15 launches, I will definitely go with it since it comes with a Type-C charger which is more convenient. I can charge my Macbook and iPhone together under the same charger! Bingo!
