Apple unveiled the Pro line of its iPhone 14 series, featuring the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, at its "Far Out" event on September 7. The most notable change is the move away from the infamous notch to what Apple is calling the "Dynamic Island." This still obstructs your screen to a certain degree, but it looks completely different and changes depending on what you are doing on your iPhone. As always, the iPhone camera got an upgrade, but this time it includes a massive jump from 12 megapixels to 48! Finally, with the switch to the Always-On display, Apple promises all-day battery life on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max.

With the Always-On Display, Dynamic Island can provide valuable at-a-glance snippets of information, sometimes even without needing to unlock your phone!
