Review: Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro hits the shelves - BBC News

The iPhone 14 Pro has been released and, while it looks broadly similar to its predecessors, it boasts a raft of new features, according to BBC technology show Click.

This includes an always-on display screen, which Apple claims is not a major drain on battery, and a new feature called the Dynamic Island.

Replacing the black notch that previous phones have, it now acts as a “screen for notifications.”

Additionally, the phone has a number of new safety features, though most mobile users will hope that they will never need to use them.

This isn't a review. It's a short list of new features, some of which she couldn't test. She clearly says that she's only had it a few days and didn't express any opinions.

That ‘aluminium rim’ is stainless steel

[tolypolonty]

Why is the BBC doing advertising for Apple?

[oakesy]

It’s stainless steel not aluminium? Lol

"The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitudes." ~ Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)

WTF why is a public network advertising products???

[brbhavepp]

How much money did Apple Pay for this promotion?

Mate. Wait 2 years and get the super duper one. Y'know, the phone that will drive you home when your drunk, make toast and 2 minute noodles and change a diabolical messy nappy.

Imagine release the same phone every year 🤦🏻‍♂️

I got the iPhone 13 pro max with like 500 gigabytes. I’ll keep this phone for 5 years or longer.

BBC is so free they've to document this rather thsn serious news. 👏👏

I live in northern Alberta Canada. I don’t think the emergency satellite feature will come up a lot. I can still see a use for it here. We have people every year get stuck some where with little to no cell signal.

One of the biggest advantages in the new iPhone is its expensive price!

[kitgumayegang]

This could be the worst phone review ever done cmon BBC

[Ianmundo]

we’re used to iPhones being similar to the last version but the standard iPhone 14 is not at all interesting to people who already own a 12 or 13

[omkhuluBasss]

no thank you, you wont catch me owning a apple product

[grannystuna]

I wonder how much sterling did the BBC receive for this paid review.

[notjustforhackers]

Perfect for your digital ID in surveillance states. Also this is basically an advert, a violation of the BBC's mandate. I can tell you this much a product review sure ain't "News".

End the forced funding of the BBC.

Always on display being touted as a new feature lol.

[gregmoore]

The crash detection, at least in the UK, is useless as who in their right mind thinks emergency services will turn up soon!
