Apple has brought in a host of new features in iPhone 14 series. Here’s everything about all new features in iPhones introduced by Apple this year.
Apple’s Wednesday Far Out event saw many Apple devices launch, from Apple Watches and AirPods Pro 2nd Gen to the new iPhone 14 series. With these new iPhones, Apple brought eight new features for its users, which will surely come in handy – as and when needed. While – like the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 series – the iPhone 14 series retails four iPhone models, this year, Apple ‘goes big’ and ditches the mini variant for a Plus model. However, the iPhone 14 series’ Pro models steal the show with their new features and pill cutout called the Dynamic Island. Here’re all the new features iPhone 14 series that it brings to the table.
Emergency SOS via Satellite is a new feature to the iPhone 14 series’ arsenal that could help you get rescued from a place with a low-to-no cellular connection. It utilises Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite services to request the emergency: If someone is injured, needs rescue, or any other urgent assistance. The user will have to point the iPhone at the satellite using on-screen navigation, and then it will notify emergency services for assistance.
Initially, this feature will launch across the United States and Canada in November 2022 and will be free for iPhone 14 series phone users for two years.
Since the launch of the iPhone X, Apple hasn’t changed its iPhone’s notch display much, apart from shrinking it a bit. That, however, changes with the new iPhone 14 Pro models. The new pill cutout on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max display – called Dynamic Island – houses a new and smaller Face ID sensor. This small cutout extends to capture a wider display area showing more information and allows you to interact with any new alerts or notifications.
