The iPhone 14 ships today for most of the models in the series and Apple seems to have gotten the early orders out the door. For those who were notified, the new handset should begin arriving today.
All iPhone 14 models went up for preorder last Friday, though there were some issues with Apple’s online store. The iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will see launch tomorrow. The iPhone 14 Plus will see availability Oct. 7.
At present, Apple only notifies customers concerning a shipment around a day ahead of the release date. Some customers earlier in the week were able to indirectly track the status of their parcel through services like UPS My Choice.
A number of lucky customers were able to get their paws on their new iPhone 14s thanks to accidental early deliveries. Review embargoes have also dropped, meaning early reviews are also available as to the newest iPhone model.
The new iPhone 14 gains upgraded camera sensors, Action mode for video stabilization, a selfie cam that can auto focus, car crash detection, and an improved A15 chip compared to the baseline iPhone 13 from last year.
Other substantial changes are arriving in the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models. Both models include a major upgrade to the camera system, which new features a 48-megapixel camera. The new camera is capable of producing images with more detail and less noise, especially in low-light environments. Additionally, the center twelve megapixels of the sensor now enable a new ‘optical’ 2x zoom mode. The ultra-wide camera also sees significant improvements thanks to a new larger sensor.
The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models have now received an always-on display. Even when your phone goes to sleep, it will remain dimly-lit. Similar to the Apple Watch, the display shows the date and time, incoming notifications and more.
Finally, the iPhone 14 Pro series features the Dynamic Island, which replaces the old notch cutout toward the top of the handset with a floating pill ship, which augments the physical cutouts in software to make for a new multitasking activity and status tray zone. The iPhone 14s will also receive an iOS 16 update, which should save some setup time for the customer.
