iPhone 14

Be aware that this A2881 iPhone 14 supports 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n14, n20, n25, n26, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n53, n66, n70, n71, n77, n78, and n79. It does not support 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261. This device was designed for carriers in Canada, Mexico, Japan, and Saudi Arabia, as well as the US territories of Guam, Puerto Rico, and the USVI, but is technically functional with carriers globally.

Every iPhone 14 model is equipped with a 6.1-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch "Super Retina XDR" display (2532x1170, 460 ppi) that covers nearly the entire front. It has three cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, located in the "notch," supports Face ID, has an f/1.9 aperture, captures 12-megapixel photos, and records 4K video. The rear features a dual-camera system with 12-megapixel, 4K-capable Main (f/1.5 aperture) and Ultra Wide (f/2.4 aperture, 120-degree field of view) cameras. Apple touts these cameras as having a new "Photonic Engine" for better low-light performance. The rear cameras also introduce a new "Action mode" for enhanced motion correction and an improved "Cinematic mode" with simulated depth effect, now supporting 4K (30 fps, 24 fps).

The iPhone 14 features an aluminum case with flat sides and a glass front and back. The front is protected by a durable "Ceramic Shield" cover, and the back has an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging connection. It is IP68-rated for splash, water, and dust resistance (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes). Originally available in five colors—(pale) Blue, (pale) Purple, "Midnight" (black), "Starlight" (warm gray), and (PRODUCT) RED—a sixth color, Yellow, was introduced on March 7, 2023.

Internally, the iPhone 14 is powered by a 3.2 GHz "Apple A15 Bionic" processor with a six-core CPU (two performance, four efficiency), a 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. It has 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB, 256 GB, or 512 GB of storage. It also supports 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, Ultra Wideband for "spatial awareness," NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve," Crash Detection, Emergency SOS, and both dual eSIMs and a single hardware nano-SIM.

Apple estimates the battery life of the iPhone 14 provides "up to" 80 hours of audio playback, 20 hours of video playback, and 16 hours of streamed video.

Initial pricing varied by country, but in Canada, this iPhone 14 was originally priced at C$1099, C$1249, and C$1519 for 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB of storage. It was also available on a two-year contract for C$45.79, C$52.04, and C$63.29 per month.

On September 12, 2023, Apple reduced the price to C$999, C$1149, and C$1449 if paid in full, or to C$45.17, C$51.96, and C$65.52 per month on a two-year contract.

The iPhone 14 A2881 achieved remarkable success across diverse international markets, earning widespread acclaim from technology reviewers for its strategic multi-regional optimization and comprehensive feature set that redefined mainstream smartphone excellence. Professional evaluations from Canadian tech publications like MobileSyrup and Japanese media outlets consistently praised the device's carefully tuned 5G band selection that excluded mmWave in favor of broader sub-6GHz compatibility, ensuring optimal performance across Canada's vast landscapes, Japan's dense urban environments, Mexico's varied topology, and Saudi Arabia's expanding infrastructure. The introduction of Crash Detection and Emergency SOS features proved particularly valuable in these geographically diverse markets, while the Photonic Engine significantly improved photography performance in challenging lighting conditions.
