Personalize your iPhone like never before
Your photo. Your font. Your widgets. Your iPhone. iOS 16 lets you customize the Lock Screen in fresh, expressive ways — layer a photo to make it stand out, add widgets for at‑a‑glance info, track your Activity rings, and view live updates from the apps you use most.
Stay connected off the grid
Peace of mind when you’re off the grid. When cellular or Wi‑Fi service isn’t available, iPhone can send emergency messages over satellite so you can reach help from remote locations.
How satellite emergency messaging works
Satellites are moving targets with limited bandwidth, so messages can take a few minutes to transmit. To speed things up, iPhone asks a few quick questions about your situation — tap to respond — then guides you where to point the handset to establish a satellite connection. Once connected, iPhone automatically sends your responses, location, Medical ID (if configured), and battery level to emergency services.
Share your location when you’re remote
Let friends know how remote you go. If you’re on an adventure without cell service, Find My can now share your location via satellite so loved ones can see where you are and feel reassured.
Automatic crash detection when you can’t call
Crash Detection calls for help when you can’t. iPhone 14 can detect a severe car crash and automatically call emergency services and notify your emergency contacts so help can be dispatched quickly.
Bigger display for more immersive viewing
21% more screen. Now that’s big. The iPhone 14 Plus offers a supersized Super Retina XDR display that gives you a more immersive canvas for videos, games, and browsing.
Advanced cameras for richer photos
More detailed details. More colorful colors. More epic pics. A redesigned Main camera and improved image processing deliver more vivid, detailed shots in all lighting — especially low light. The new Main camera has a larger sensor and wider aperture that capture up to 49% more light. The Photonic Engine optimizes pixels from multiple exposures earlier in the pipeline, preserving image data for brighter, truer colors and finer textures.
Choose the Ultra Wide camera to capture wider perspectives and more of the scene, while Night mode brightens very dark shots. Smart HDR 4 intelligently adjusts contrast, lighting, and skin tones for up to four people, and Portrait mode artfully blurs the background and foreground to emphasize your subject. For even higher resolution photography, iPhone 14 Pro offers a 48MP Main camera and a Telephoto lens for detailed close‑ups from a distance.
Smooth video on the move
Go steady. Use Action mode to capture smooth, stabilized handheld video when you’re hiking, running, or chasing the moment — even on rough terrain.
Cinematic-quality video made simple
Home movies that look like Hollywood movies. Cinematic mode automatically shifts focus to the most important subject in a scene — just like filmmakers — and you can now record in 4K at 24 fps for that classic cinematic look.
Sharper, brighter selfies
Selfies you’ll flip over. The updated TrueDepth front camera adds autofocus and a larger aperture for sharper close‑ups and group shots. It can focus on multiple subjects automatically and gathers up to 38% more light for improved detail and lower noise in photos and videos.
Proven performance with A15 Bionic
A15 Bionic. Fast that lasts. iPhone 14 is powered by the same high‑performance chip used in iPhone 13 Pro. With a 5‑core GPU, it drives advanced features, delivers ultra‑fluid graphics for demanding games and AR apps, and benefits from improved thermal design for longer sustained performance.
Simpler, more secure connectivity with eSIM
So long, SIM tray. eSIM makes setup and carrier switching easy — activate your iPhone or add plans digitally and start calling and texting quickly. And because an eSIM can’t be physically removed, it adds a layer of security if your iPhone is lost or stolen.
