Im confused, it looks like some of the images of the iPhone 14 looks better then the iPhone 14 pro

I do think many photos look better on the normal iPhone 14 than the pro.

I'm not upgrading this year, but I always look forward to your reviews because you show that phone cameras are very capable devices in the right hands. Excited to put my iPhone 13 Pro cameras to the test more next year. Thanks Tyler! 💜

Very nice tip on the new option for preserving the F-stop for cinematic mode. I remember last year you mentioned how much better it was to change away from the default to get usable shots, and I've been doing it since, but it's always a PITA to do especially if moving fast/quickly. Sometimes it's the little things!

The main lens looks nearly identical across the 14 and 14 Pro. But wow, is there a dramatic improvement with the ultra-wide lens on the Pro. I use that lens all the time too, so I'd consider that a worthwhile upgrade.

I have the 14 Pro and one thing that surprised me is how much I notice the move from a 26mm equivalent to a 24mm equivalent on the main camera. It now feels a bit too wide-angle-ish for a main lens to me. Then again, the gradation between the different focal length does make sense. But it is definitely something to keep in mind and something I have to get used to / gather some more experience. Thanks for the super interesting analysis!

the raw photo also looks so good! would love to change from base version to pro version next yearish!

We can see the difference in sharpness in all examples! Thank you

Great review! Very informative comparison of each lens on iPhone 14 Pro, got more insight on which lens/mode to choose for different scenarios. Also glad to see Calgary skyline and some of my own frequent spots featured in the review!

Tyler is the only reviewer pointing out the horrible lens flare these phones produce at night compared to a regular camera.

Wow, it's remarkable how great the 14 Pro's 48MP RAW images are. All the annoying over-sharpening and noise-reduction artifacts of the typical iPhone image mostly appears to be gone, and it does start looking a lot like professional camera imaging. Also the new ultra-wide is a clear win all around. Color me (haha) impressed!

The raw is “worse” because it’s giving you more editing capabilities. You could fix the wall and the sky in post. That’s the point of raw… tuning up your image.

I’m looking forward to the dynamic Island, always on display in the new camera improvements with the iPhone 14 pro

Finally a camera review I've been waiting for

The one video I was really expectimg. Here we go!

Your action mode comparison was the best I’ve seen on KZfaq

Been waiting for this I’m going to love it

Great review, man! (I had another comment which I deleted, once I realized you covered it - about the 48mpx raw file). Appreciate you going in depth, and showing side by side. Still going to keep my Samsung, but I need a video like this to show me options :)

You are way better than some so called" top 5" youtuber ! love it. Hopefully this winter is not too bad for calgary

YES I have been waiting for this video for so long!

I'm using the iPhone 12, and I'm due for a recontract with my provider. I'm gonna take a chance at the 14 pro, because I'm intrigued with the 48mp, the pro-RAW, macro photography, etc. I use a Sony mirrorless camera and edit my photo as well, but I wanna see how well the iPhone 14 pro camera handles.

5:44 Yeah, definitely adds to realism of this looking like true depth of field.

I know im not alone but i really like how the ProRaw images looking softer & more organic than the bumped up digital sharpness & contrast the jpeg/heic images. I wish i can shoot with that mode all the time. But my concern is, can we use ProRaw mode in lowlight?

Thanks for the deep dive. This is the first time that I've felt the need to upgrade to the Pro.

This is a great review! Thanks for the content ❤

I think that for consistency, Apple should go all in next year and use 48mpx on all the lenses. And a improved zoom lenses is required too... it would be great to have a zoom lens between 5x and 10x

Great video! Thank you so much for this helpful comparison! Still using my iphone7 and totally need a update

I would love to see a "best travel camera" video I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks!

Nice studio set up and very good stage presence on camera, calm and intuitive. Keep up the good work nice review

I just found your channel and I REALLY like this video! Thanks for sharing 😊

Tyler does some of the best review's out there 🙌🏽 a true KZfaq treasure

Absolutely stunning reviews, thank you ❤️

THANK YOU!!! you are the first one who realizes that the camera on the 14 is improved :) I have a 13 as company phone - and now a 14 for myself - it doesn’t look this artifacty anymore when zooming in especially with white objects - also I see it’s more sharper and clearer - I am very happy with the 14 (even though I come from an 12pro max which got stolen last month - was supposed to last one more year for the 15… it doesn’t feel at all like a downgrade… (was using an X as replacement till the 14s arrived)… I am really really happy with my 14 and I think some tech KZfaqrs only compare previous gen with new gen and forget that people are not upgrading every year ;)

Action mode seems the most useful new feature. It’s quite crazy how it opens up new opportunities for filming.

Hey Tyler, great video. Just found your channel and you did exactly what I wanted. Pointing out the nuances in the changes is SUPER helpful. ❤keep it up.

Tyler, we’ve been waiting along time for this one.🤙

Excellent work Tyler! 👏🏽

Love this. Thank you for this great video

Thanks for the great review. So is it really 48 megs, or just a play on words by Apple with each pixel now using 4 pixels thus getting to the 48 number? The image examples here clearly show there's no discernible difference in IQ between them. Will say the stabilization is really impressive. Still debating on whether to upgrade or not.

Megapixel counts only matter to a point. If you are doing a large amount of cropping in with your photos of course you'll get better detail. However for the purpose most people use their phone for, there's a reason why Apple stayed with the same count for years.

Fantastic video comparison. For people who use the iPhone to occasionally scan documents, how does the change in focus distance affect that?

Very informative. Good job! I always upgrade to a new phone every year, and have tried the 'pro' lines, but normally end up settling with the 'non-pro'. The average person just taking photos to share doesn't need the pro; yet we all buy them. Certainly the pro's offer a helluva lot of camera- if you need/want it. I always think I want the zoo- but the macro photography features are the coolest actually.

this is the real review. thanks for this in depth look.

Excellent comparison. Thank you.

Great comparison thanks 😊

As usual, great video!

Probably the best one i have found on KZfaq..very nicely put in everything in one video..good job. i think 14 is still good in most cases.

I think it's fair to say that us iP14 users isn't missing that much in the camera department. But I still want to get an iP14 Pro in Silver color but it's so damn expensive.

I’ve been waiting for this video 😬

Yes I can see the sharpness difference in low light on YT. Great review!

interesting, I had the opposite preference on the raw/not raw comparisons. I didn't really like the way raw looked with the more faded colors. Excited to try macro mode, as with my 11 pro, if I ever want to take a picture of a small spider I have to download a separate app to do manual focus. Honestly I wish they would just add a manual focus setting built in without the need for extra apps.

Tyler Stalman: The best, honest camera review, like overall. Dave2D: Review summary of the phone. MKBHD: Video animation and transitions.

As an owner of a OnePlus 6 (2018), I'm long overdue for a new phone. Was waiting for reviews about the iPhone 14 Pro and I must say, I'm impressed by what I've seen so far. I'm looking forward to this phone this year! Can't wait to upgrade! ✌️

Great review - tbh quite on the same performance level except for some minor use cases & raw photos

Really usefull, thanks 🙌 are you going to do 13 pro vs 14 pro?

Great review Tyler Just wondering are they Christmas Lights @ 14:05 if so they are way too early

I just went from an 11 to 14, and I'm chuffed (only picked it up yesterday afternoon). I'm keen to do a comparison of the cameras, especially the lowlight and night shots.

I’m a sucker for quality. Thank you!

Man, THANK YOU! For what I need, so pics for instagram, some videos of me playing bass and guitar and stuff like that, seems like the 14 is good enough.

If you'd have to chose between Iphone 14 and Iphone 13 pro in comparison to camera functionality, which would you advise to be better? Thanks!

Great video. Thanks for the info

I shoot raw, and always have since the Pro Raw feature became available. I don’t carry a camera when traveling anymore. Also, it’s fun to edit the photos in my style when I can. When shooting raw, you really focus more on composition and your shot.

Good job! Thanks x sharing

As a current Samsung Note 10 user wanting to jump into the iPhone, will the iPhone 14 still be a good buy? Or would you recommend the Pro?

Just wanted to note that I was really charmed by how the ice cream scoops matched her outfit! Of course the entire video was helpful as well, but I wanted to highlight that one little thing.

thank you so much for sharing this method with !

Picked up the 14 Pro Max yesterday , love it cheers 👌🏻😊🇬🇧

Great review!

the 2x zoom is not a crop because when you shoot 1x in normal mode, it isn't reading out 48mp, the pixel binning happens on the sensor, it still comes out as a 12mp image. But when you shoot 2x, it reads out individual pixels in the center area, which is 12mp, there's no scaling happening and hence it is a true optical zoom. Another way you could think of it, is if you had another camera the same as the main, but with the sensor cropped in, is that camera a true 2x? Well it has to be isn't it? The existence of inactive sensor area doesn't make any difference does it?

Around the 9:35 to 9:40 in one of the comparison of two similar shots on this video, I notice the clouds and sky on the iPhone 14 Pro (48MP RAW) looking much more washed out than on the iPhone 14 HEIC rendering of the clouds and sky. Is that something that can be rectified quite easily in LR after the fact, while processing the RAW image, or is the 48MP sensor simply not as good at capturing clouds and sky? Here's why I'm asking. I've been shooting 16:9 (at .5) of clouds and sky with my iPhone 11 Pro Max for years and I really love the results I get; so much so that when the iPhone 13 Pro Max came out I purchased one, only to return it the same day after spending an hour or so shooting C&S HEIC images with it, side by side with my 11 Pro Max. The eleven's rendering of clouds and sky consistently looked a lot better than the thirteen's. Any thoughts?

to see the difference of the iphone 14 pro video and photo difference turn on the high efficiency option instead of most compatible to get the most of the new iphone

Iphone 14 Pro wide angle lens needs some setting that can prevent (or correct) that lens distortion.

I've always loved your reviews when it comes to the photography and video aspects of an iPhone but I would like to ask if why is it that you don't review other major players? I would love to see a Galaxy S review on how their photography works as well as the Pixel line-up. I would esp like to see your take on how the choice of color is between the 3 major phones when comes to skins. I ask this because I consider you the best when it comes to phone photography reviews. Thank you.

the thing is now 10x is almost like a normal optical zoom now! And did you use pro raw?

Should do a comparison with mirrorless camera with a ultra wide 12 or 14mm lens vs iPhone 14 ultra wide lens.

Solid video, way to go 👍🏻

Wasn’t expecting a crop on the action mode but I guess it makes sense.

it is not an "optical zoom", it is a crop. So the center of the image is cropped, then reframed to take the entire size of the screen. But the two photos (48 or 12) are taken with the same optic. So it is optical.

The proRAW file has minimal sharpening and using Lightroom it has a much better interpretation of proper dynamic range. Where as if you shoot normally it's always over sharpened and with insanely unrealistic dynamic range. I compared the ProRAW to all kinds of different cameras I have and I'd say its performance is close to an APS-C senso. It's just that again, the default camera app shooting HEIC ruins the potential with sharpening and HDR.

even in the first comparison shots it’s clear that the 14 got a lot more sharpening applied. There are visible halos on contrast edges which show this quite clearly. An interesting try would then have been how the 14 pro 48mp image reacts to well done sharpening applied… enough to bring the details out without resorting into halo land. In regard to the 2x lens being no „optical“ zoom but just a crop: Technically, yes it is just a crop of the sensor of the 14 pro… but since the sensor is also bigger at the same time, it’s sensor pixels are nearly the same size as the one in the 12 MP sensor of the 14. So - in relation to the 14 it actually is similar to a 2x „optical“ zoom in any way to think of it. So from the standpoint of just getting 12 MP photos it behaves like having a real additional 2x module. You could do the same by cropping from the 48MP RAW of course. So the „2x“ zoom definitely makes sense as a camera feature for common use but of course isn’t magic. It’s a matter of perspective.

thank you great comparison! did you notice any aberration on both? if to take pictures of books, cards, etc it can be quite annoying ( I have Samsung S8 which I love but that thing and jerkiness of panning is not helpful).

When we talk about optical zoom on iPhones do we talk about telephoto lens or the main camera zooming in without digital zoom? The question is more about base iPhone (12,13,14 etc.) models who doesn't have telephoto lens. Do they have any optical zoom that doesn't sacrifice quality?

How can you take raw pictures on iPhone 14 Pro? Thanks for the review also :)

What a great video! You actually convinced me to buy the 14 Pro. Although I’m not sure if I should get the Max or the non-max one.

were the photos taken in 48mpx or 12mpx quad pixel mode?

I would like to see a comparison between the cameras of the 12 Pro (Max) and 14 Pro (Max). Curious to know whether it is worth upgrading or better skip a year.

Getting the 14 tomorrow, thanks!

Geniune review 👍🏻

13:50 Can tell a huge difference in the two low light shots. Easiest parts that stuck out to me are the suture lines near the elbows and above the breast pockets.

You can take flower closeups on iPhone 14 with the 2x zoom. It's really sharp and crisp

I mean I could see using 48 megapixel Pro Raw images for landscapes during travel photography, I think it could benefit from the resolution and cropping ability, but aside from that I just don't see the use yet vs. the tradeoffs.

Loved your review and your accent. OMG I am Greek but still understand almost everything without subtitles, you can call that progress. A Uk guy told me that I am even better than many of his friends!!

Have you made a comparison video of 13 pro and 14 pro??

This is one of the best camera reviews on the new iPhones

omg, you shot this in Calgary?!

Played with the 14 Pro at Best Buy today and decided to keep my 13 Pro, the dynamic island was really not that interesting and my cameras on the 13 Pro are great as they are. Losing almost half the value of my 13 Pro for minimal upgrades makes no sense, not to mention adding in buying another $60 case. Glad I did not pre-order. iOS 16 also made my phone feel like a new phone.

How does the iphone 14 plus - compare to the iphone 14 pro?? Is the larger screen problematic? Can it do macro shots??

Great comparison

Everyone forgot instagram made a hyperlapse app way back in 2015 and if you set it to 1x it’s basically a super stabilized video.

Great job! And, hey, the model is gorgeous by the way…🌺
