In addition, all phones will have an emergency crash detection feature. In case of major accidents, the device dials emergency services if its user is unresponsive after a 10-second countdown.
On top of that, the smartphones also come with improved camera functions. The iPhone 14’s 12-megapixel front camera now has a built-in auto-focus function, while the Pro models will have the new, 48-megapixel wide camera.
Users will also be able to enjoy more video playback, with 26 hours for the iPhone 14 and 29 for the Pro models.
The Pro and Pro Max will also have an A16 bionic chip — the most powerful one yet, according to TechCrunch.
