News & Reviews:   iPhone 14 Pro pre-order

As if the chip shortage wasn't bad enough, the iPhone 14 Pro series production scale seems to be slowed down even more in China. According to Bloomberg, there is a "production shortfall" as factory workers protest due to COVID restrictions.

Yup, the global logistics issue continues and instead of laptops being limited during the pandemic, it's now Apple's turn this time. In fact, the company released a press statement about the situation.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has revealed that the company is currently facing challenges to keep up with the demand for its iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. In fact, the new iPhone 14 Pro models are so popular that the company is constrained from the day they were launched, prompting Apple to chase supply by ramping up production.

Many times, whenever a brand claims that a device just went through extreme durability or drop test, most reviewers won't dare to try it out (you know...just in case). One YouTube tech channel decided to go YOLO, though, to have a real car crash to test how responsive the iPhone 14 Pro's crash detection is.

Yesterday, we reported that many users have experienced a weird camera bug on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max when using a third-party app. This includes popular social apps such as TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat, whereby the cameras would shake, grind or make buzzing noises.

We knew it was only a matter of time before third-party developers would do something with the new Dynamic Island feature, but we didn't expect them to be cute and cool. If you get your hands on the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, you would be able to install the new Pixel Pals from the Apollo and Hit the Island app for fun.

Today, Apple didn't hold back from unveiling the next-gen iPhone 14 series. In this news article, we will be focusing on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with some new innovative features. We will get to the price later (because it's not pretty), so let's start with the features.

While it's not the first time that we heard about the iPhone 14 Pro variants having an always-on display, the latest news came from Mark Gurman from Bloomberg once again in his Power On newsletter. His claims that the feature will complement the new lock screen widgets from iOS 16 are consistent with the rumours.

You read that right, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max may be the only devices that are getting the A16 Bionic chipset. This report was announced by TrendForce, a Taiwanese research firm. Honestly, we can't say we would be surprised if this turns out to be true because of the current chip shortage globally.

Reliable tipster regarding everything Apple, Ross Young has recently revealed the display suppliers for the upcoming iPhone 14 series. Shared via Twitter, Young claimed that the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Max and iPhone 14 Pro Max will get a mix of suppliers, while the iPhone 14 Pro will exclusively get its screens from Samsung.
