Apple iPhone 14 Pro review: specs, battery & used prices
Hands-on-style overview of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro with Apple A16 Bionic: screen, cameras, battery, performance and what it costs used.
Summary
The Apple iPhone 14 Pro is the compact 2022 flagship: the A16 Bionic, an always-on 120 Hz OLED, the Dynamic Island's debut, and the first 48 MP Pro camera system, in a 206 g IP68 body. Everyday 82/100, camera 39/100, screen 63/100. New 6/128 units list at $999; used 6/128 units run around $387 — Pro hardware at mainstream money, two major OS versions from retirement.
Display and design
The 6.1-inch 120 Hz OLED at 2,000 nits peak introduced the always-on display and the Dynamic Island — the hardware-defining redesign of its year (screen 63/100). Stainless-look steel rails, Ceramic Shield and IP68 in 206 g: compact flagship density, compactness 77/100.
Performance
The A16 Bionic on its first 4 nm outing: gaming 45/100, everyday 82/100 — the fastest compact phone of its year, with two major iOS versions remaining.
Camera
The 48 MP stabilized main with sensor-shift OIS, 12 MP telephoto and 12 MP ultrawide, 4K60 with Action Mode stabilization: camera 39/100, the top compact system of 2022. The step to the 14 Pro Max is battery, not imaging.
Battery and charging
The 3,200 mAh cell is the compact-body invoice: battery 4/100 — a day of moderate use, less under load. 23 W wired and 15 W MagSafe (5/100) do their deliberate best.
Verdict
At roughly $387 used, the 14 Pro is the price-floor entry to Apple's Pro tier: 120 Hz, the Island, the full camera system with years of runway left. Buyers wanting endurance pick the 14 Plus; buyers wanting everything pick the Pro Max.
