Overview

Be aware that this A2892 iPhone 14 Pro is compatible with 5G NR bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n26, n28, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n66, n70, n77, n78, and n79. It does not support 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261. This device is intended for carriers in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau, but it is technically functional with carriers worldwide. Unlike other iPhone 14 Pro models, it completely lacks eSIM capability and instead supports dual hardware nano-SIMs.


Every iPhone 14 Pro model has a 6.1-inch (diagonal) haptic-touch enabled "Super Retina XDR display" with ProMotion (2556x1179, 460 ppi, 120Hz refresh rates) that covers nearly the entire front. It has four cameras. The front-facing "TrueDepth" camera, housed in the "Dynamic Island," supports Face ID, captures 12-megapixel photos, and records 4K video. The rear features a "Pro camera system" with a 48-megapixel "Main" camera, a 12-megapixel "Ultra Wide" camera, and a 12-megapixel "Telephoto" camera.


In contrast to its predecessors, the iPhone 14 Pro's rear camera system boasts a quad-pixel sensor for better low-light capture, a new "Photonic Engine" for improved computational photography, an "Action mode" for better stability, and an enhanced "Cinematic mode" with a simulated depth effect in 4K (30 fps, 24 fps). It also supports the "ProRes" codec (1080p for the 128 GB model, and 4K for larger capacities).


The iPhone 14 Pro is built with a stainless steel case and flat sides, with a glass front and back. The front is protected by a "Ceramic Shield" cover for durability, 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). It is available in four colors: dark "Deep Purple," Silver, Gold, and "Space Black."


Internally, the iPhone 14 Pro is powered by a 3.5 GHz "Apple A16 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, 512 GB, or 1 TB 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, and dual nano-SIMs (eSIM is not supported at all).


Apple's battery life estimates for the iPhone 14 Pro are "up to" 75 hours of audio playback, 23 hours of video playback, and 20 hours of streamed video.


In mainland China, this iPhone 14 Pro was initially priced at RMB 7999, 8899, 10,699, and 12,499 for the 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, and 1 TB models, respectively. It was also available on a two-year contract for RMB 333, 371, 446, and 521 per month.

Evaluation

The iPhone 14 Pro A2892 established itself as the definitive professional smartphone for Chinese markets, receiving exceptional recognition from Chinese technology media for its masterful localization strategy and groundbreaking Pro camera innovations tailored specifically for Chinese consumer preferences. Influential Chinese technology publications including Zhongguancun Online, IT168, and PCOnline consistently celebrated the device's unique dual physical nano-SIM implementation that completely eliminated eSIM dependency, perfectly aligning with Chinese regulatory requirements and user expectations. The revolutionary 48-megapixel camera system with Dynamic Island interface proved exceptionally popular among Chinese content creators and social media influencers, while the powerful A16 Bionic processor with 4K ProRes video recording capabilities satisfied the demanding requirements of China's thriving mobile video production industry.
