Apple Removes Sim Tray For All US iPhone 14 Models Apple has announced that instead of the SIM card tray, all US iPhone 14 models will use Electronic SIM technology, also known as eSIM. It is a digital SIM card that can be used to activate a carrier's cellular plan without the use of a typical nano-SIM card. According to Kaiann Drance, vice president of iPhone Product Marketing, Apple is making "significant improvements to cellular technologies making it even easier to connect." She added further "An eSIM is a digital SIM that eliminates the need for a physical SIM card," she said. "With an eSIM, you can quickly transfer an existing cellular plan or get a new cellular plan all digitally." "You can even store multiple eSIMs on the same device, meeting multiple cellular plans and phone numbers," And it's more secure," that "Someone can't remove the physical SIM card if your iPhone is lost or stolen." It has the advantage of allowing you to quickly set up an iPhone with a carrier without having to wait for a physical card to arrive or be provided. According to Apple, this will be possible even if the user does not have a Wi-Fi connection. Apple is confident that eSIMs will be established with adequate carrier support in the United States. However, the technology is still gaining traction in other parts of the world. As a result, switching to eSIM would give Apple more space within the iPhone, but it will not be available everywhere. Apple Introduces iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 Plus With Satellite Connectivity Instead of a standard and mini model, Apple has replaced the smallest smartphone with a much larger alternative. The iPhone 14 Plus, a revival of the suffix and a smartphone with a 6.7-inch display, joins the 6.1-inch iPhone 14. The Super Retina XDR display is OLED, with a wide colour gamut, a 2 million:1 contrast ratio, and a peak HDR brightness of 1,200 nits. HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision are all supported. According to rumours, Apple is reusing the A15 in the iPhone 14 rather than developing a new chip, albeit with "Pro-level" enhancements. This is a notable shift for Apple, which typically upgrades the chip with each iPhone generation. A five-core GPU, a six-core GPU with two performance cores and four efficiency cores, a 16-core Neural Engine, and an Image Signal Processor are all part of the chip. The primary camera is a 12-megapixel shooter with a larger sensor, an f/1.5 aperture, 1.9-micron pixels, and Sensor-Shift OIS. According to Apple, this results in a 49% improvement in low-light photography over the previous generation. The Ultra Wide camera has 12 megapixels, an aperture of f/2.4, and a 120-degree field of view. The TrueDepth Camera on the front has been updated, and the 12-megapixel shooter now has an f/1.9 aperture. TrueDepth also has autofocus for the first time. Apple's computational photography has been updated by moving Deep Fusion processing earlier in the shooting process. This is now known as the "Photonic Engine," and it appears to improve low-light performance and colour rendering. Action Mode, a stabilisation system that uses the entire camera sensor for a less shaky shot, also improves video. You can still watch 4K 60FPS video with HDR Dolby Vision, Cinematic Mode at 30fps, and Action Mode at up to 2.8K at 60fps. An unexpected change involves SIM, as Apple embraces eSIM even more. The iPhone 14 will be sold without a SIM tray in the United States, prompting the use of eSIMs. However, SIM trays will continue to be included outside of the United States. To maintain connectivity between people, Apple has introduced Emergency SOS via Satellite. If any of the users are in a low-signal area, they can send an emergency text message using satellites. The system can send text messages in less than 15 seconds by using a compression system to reduce the size of text messages by one-third. Apple has created a transmission centre that will route messages to emergency responders who only handle phone calls. The satellite feature, which will be available in the United States and Canada in November, will be free for two years after purchasing an iPhone 14. Another emergency feature is Crash Detection, which detects when a serious collision has occurred. If the iPhone 14 is unable to communicate with the owner and does not receive a response, it can automatically dial 911. The iPhone 14's battery life has been improved, with up to 20 hours of media streaming for the standard version and up to 26 hours for the Plus. MagSafe charging is also making a comeback. Camera features Both iPhone and iPhone 14 plus come with a Dual camera system. Main camera Dual - 12 MP, f/1.5, 26mm (wide), 1.9µm, dual pixel PDAF, sensor-shift OIS 12 MP, f/2.4, 13mm, 120˚ (ultrawide) Features - LED flash, HDR (photo/panorama) Video quality - 4K at 60fps, HDR, Dolby Vision HDR (up to 60fps), Cinematic mode (4K at 30fps), stereo sound rec.

It was as expected that the pro models gained Apple's A16 processors.The pro models will be running on a new chip for the first time and the vanilla variants are still on the old chips. The new display is the same as the Pro Display XDR which has HDR brightness of 1600 nits. The brightness can peak out to 2,000 nits during the daytime. The Always-On Display make sure that the lights are dim when you are not using your phone. The feature enables the device to show content when the phone is left inactive. Content like dynamic wallpapers, clocks, and widgets will be dim but accessible to read. The New face ID sensor in which the notifications fit behind Dynamic Island. The sensor is used as a base for the animations and transitions that adapts to show the app events. The A16 Bionic processor is more powerful than ever and more efficient. The chipset makes use of a 5-core GPU for intensive graphical tasks on the device. As far as cameras are concerned, the smartphone houses a triple rear camera sensor placed at the top-left corner. The main camera uses a 48-megapixel sensor which can capture photos in sharp 12-megapixel image sizes. As per the company, Four pixels are combined into one large photo pixel to get more light capture capability. Without sacrificing the quality of the photo, the photo can be enabled in 2x zoom at full size with the help of large sensors. All credit to the cropping feature of the 48 MP sensor. While using the Pro Raw feature the user can pose for the photos and get full-size 48 MP photos. The ultra-wide camera has 3x more light capture capability but is limited to 12 MP. This feature allows one much better macro photography. The new image signal processor allows capturing of videos in a cinematic mode in full 4k quality at 30 fps.
