Overview

It is important to know that this A2650 iPhone 14 Pro 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, along with 5G NR mmWave bands n258, n260, and n261, which are exclusive to this model. Although intended for carriers within the United States, it is functionally compatible with global carriers, provided they support eSIM, as it does not accommodate a hardware nano-SIM.


All versions of the iPhone 14 Pro feature a haptic-touch enabled 6.1-inch (diagonal) "Super Retina XDR display" with ProMotion technology (2556x1179 resolution, 460 ppi, 120Hz refresh rate), which covers nearly the entire front of the device. It has a total of four cameras. Located on the front, within a black pill-shaped cutout called the "Dynamic Island," is a "TrueDepth" camera that not only facilitates Face ID but also captures 12-megapixel photos and records 4K video. The rear houses a "Pro camera system" consisting of a 48-megapixel "Main" camera, a 12-megapixel "Ultra Wide" camera, and a 12-megapixel "Telephoto" camera.


When compared with previous iPhone models, the rear camera setup in the iPhone 14 Pro introduces a quad-pixel sensor for superior low-light photography and detail. It also features a new "Photonic Engine" to enhance computational photography, an "Action mode" for better video stability, and an upgraded "Cinematic mode" that simulates depth of field at 4K resolution (30 fps, 24 fps). Additionally, it supports the "ProRes" codec, limited to 1080p on the 128 GB model but available in 4K on higher-capacity versions.


The iPhone 14 Pro is built with a stainless steel case that has flat sides, complemented by a glass front and back. The front is protected by a durable "Ceramic Shield" cover, while the back features an integrated "MagSafe" magnetic charging system. It holds an IP68 rating for splash, water, and dust resistance, allowing it to be submerged in up to 6 meters of water for 30 minutes. It comes in four color choices: a dark "Deep Purple," Silver, Gold, and "Space Black."


Internally, a 3.5 GHz "Apple A16 Bionic" processor powers the iPhone 14 Pro, featuring six cores (two for performance, four for efficiency), a 5-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine. The device is equipped with 6 GB of RAM and is available in 128 GB, 256 GB, 512 GB, or 1 TB storage capacities. It also includes support for 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 with 2x2 MIMO, 5G wireless connectivity, Bluetooth 5.3, Ultra Wideband for "spatial awareness," NFC for Apple Pay, "Express Cards with power reserve" for select transit systems, Crash Detection, Emergency SOS via satellite, and dual eSIM functionality (it has no support for physical SIM cards).


Apple projects that the iPhone 14 Pro can deliver up to 75 hours of audio playback, 23 hours of video playback, and 20 hours of streamed video playback.


At its launch in the US, this iPhone 14 Pro model had starting prices of US$999 for 128 GB, US$1099 for 256 GB, US$1299 for 512 GB, and US$1499 for 1 TB. It could also be financed through a two-year contract, with monthly payments starting from US$41.62, US$45.79, US$54.12, and US$62.45, respectively.

Evaluation

The iPhone 14 Pro A2650 established itself as the definitive US professional smartphone standard, earning exceptional recognition from American technology publications for its pioneering eSIM-only implementation and comprehensive mmWave 5G capabilities that redefined mobile professional workflows. Technology reviewers from The Verge, TechCrunch, and Ars Technica consistently celebrated the device's revolutionary Dynamic Island interface combined with the groundbreaking 48-megapixel Pro camera system that delivered unprecedented computational photography performance for US content creators. The powerful A16 Bionic processor with 4K ProRes recording capabilities proved ideal for American mobile journalists and content professionals, while the complete elimination of physical SIM card slots demonstrated Apple's confidence in eSIM technology adoption and established a new paradigm for professional mobile connectivity in the competitive US smartphone market.
