iPhone 14 Pro: Everything you need to know

Apple’s new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have a new screen design that does away with the familiar notch in favour of a pill-shaped and circular cut-out in the screen that houses the sensor array for Face ID and cameras, with the proximity sensor now behind the display.
The phones fill in the gap between the two with black pixels. Apple calls this created long pill shape the Dynamic Island, which will appear to expand and retract depending on what you’re doing on the phone, from music playback, to using Face ID, to making payments. It can also display things like sports scores when you’re in other apps.
The iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max also have slightly slimmer bezels but are still 6.1in and 6.7in in size and are the first iPhones to support always-on display features that we’ve seen on Android phones for the past few years, allowing information like time, date, and notifications to be glanced at even when the screen isn’t fully on.
Controversially, the iPhone 14 Pro will not have a SIM card tray in the US, meaning everyone who gets one will have to set up an eSIM.
When will the iPhone 14 Pro be released?
The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are available to pre-order now in many regions including the US, UK, France, and Spain, and will ship and go on sale on 16 September.
In some other regions it will be available from 23 September.
