The iPhone 14 Pro models are able to shoot at the full 48MP with ProRAW, enabling the new iPhones to take impressive professional photos. Second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization reduces shake and blur, and a new 12 megapixel Ultra Wide camera has larger pixels for sharper images with more details and a better macro mode.

The TrueDepth front-facing camera has an improved f/1.9 aperture for better low-light selfies and videos, and it supports autofocus for the first time. The Adaptive True Tone flash has been redesigned with an array of nine LEDs that change pattern based on the lens focal length. Features like Night mode, Smart HDR 4, Portrait Mode, and Photographic Styles continue to be available.

Apple's A16 chip powers a Photonic Engine that improves low-light performance across all of the lenses in the iPhone 14 Pro models. The Telephoto, Wide, and front-facing TrueDepth cameras offer 2x better low-light performance with the Photonic Engine, while the Ultra Wide lens supports 3x better low-light performance. The Photonic Engine expands on Deep Fusion and provides impressive detail while preserving subtle textures and providing improved color.

For video, there's an Action Mode that provides smooth-looking video with better image stabilization than ever before. Action Mode is able to adjust to significant shakes, motion, and vibrations, even when video is captured in the middle of action. Cinematic Mode has been improved and is available in 4K at 30 fps and 4K at 24 fps.

The iPhone 14 Pro models include a dual-core accelerometer that can measure up to 256Gs, and the accelerometer and a high dynamic range gyroscope power a Crash Detection feature that can contact emergency services if you're in a serious accident and can't reach your iPhone. Apple also uses other sensors to power this feature, so the barometer detects changes in cabin pressure, the GPS watches for speed changes, and the microphone can listen for car crash noises.

Apple also added Emergency SOS via satellite, an option that allows the iPhone 14 to connect directly to satellites for communication purposes in emergency situations when WiFi and cellular are not available. Emergency SOS via satellite works in open areas with few trees, and it allows users to send texts to emergency personnel. It is free for two years, and works in the U.S. and Canada. Satellite connectivity can also be used to share your location with friends and family in Find My when you're out hiking or camping in remote areas.
