iPhone 14 Pro Additional iPhone 14 tidbits that I haven’t seen mentioned/discussed

Just wanted to share some interesting things I have found about the iPhone 14 Pro that have not really been mentioned. If you found any more please add to this thread!

• You don’t have to tap to wake before unlocking you can just swipe up on the always on display.
• Action mode isn’t limited to the ultra wide camera. Once you turn it on you can swap back to the other lenses using the zoom option.
• Camera settings have two additional new options:

1. Enhanced Stabilization: Video and Cinematic mode will stabilize videos by zooming in slightly.
2. Action Mode Lower Light: Action mode will decrease the stabilization to optimize for less bright scenes.

• There’s an additional ambient light sensor that measure light on the back of the phone. Should make auto brightness more accurate.
• The 5G antenna on the side of the phone is bigger (assume it helps with reception but haven’t seen any tests yet).
• Shortcuts now use the dynamic island. Makes opening apps via custom icons less obtrusive .

Unconfirmed stuff (could be placebo) but I have personally noticed and seen others report on twitter:

• Screen seems cooler (not bad) and more vibrant? Could also vary due to screen lottery.
• Speakers seem “punchier” and sound a bit louder.
• Overall system animations look smother (even compared to 13P) possibly due to display engine .

I’ve noticed CarPlay volume is louder and higher quality. I used to have mine on my car’s Volume 40 when I was really feeling a song; now 32 is more than enough. Also heard Dolby Atmos is louder on AirPods Pro but haven’t confirmed it myself just yet.
