More than a day later than Huawei's Mate 50 series launch, the iPhone 14 series is also available to you.

Apple Inc's press conference, jokingly known as the annual "Science and Technology Spring Festival Gala", was held at 1: 00 a.m. on September 8. Not much different from previous years, Cook appeared on time at the beginning, with all the products such as Apple Watch Series 8, AirPods Pro II and iPhone 14 series unveiled.

As previously rumored, this time Apple Inc launched four main iPhone series of new machines, the mini version for two consecutive years did not meet Apple Inc's expectations, this autumn conference, Apple Inc cut this product. The 6. 7-inch iPhone 14 Plus is introduced.

The biggest change in appearance from the iPhone 1310 iPhone 14 series is that the Pro version abandons the much-criticized bang screen design, uses a pill-shaped hole-digging screen similar to the exclamation point design, and gives the new design Dynamic Island the ability to present more mobile phone prompts.

Apple Inc's press conference and its products are inevitably compared with the former because it is only a day away from Huawei's press conference.

Compared with Huawei Mate 50 series, which will "support Beidou satellite news", "use Huawei Kunlun Glass with stronger resistance to falling", "innovate low power emergency mode", and "first launch hyperspace storage compression technology" and other cool techs, the new features of the iPhone14 series such as car accident detection, satellite SOS emergency contact function, and the American version of eSIM card are also eye-catching.

In terms of price, iPhone 14 China starts at 5999 yuan, iPhone 14 Plus China starts at 6999 yuan, iPhone 14 Pro China starts at 7999 yuan, and iPhone 14 Pro Max China starts at 8999 yuan. The price of iPhone 14 Pro Max in China is the highest in the history of iPhone: 13499 yuan.

Compared with iPhone 13, the price of the new generation of Apple Inc's mobile phone is only the same as the 128g version. The 256g version is 100 yuan more expensive than last year, the 512g version is 300 yuan more expensive, and the 1TB version is 500 yuan more expensive.

Compared with the Mate 50 released the previous day, the price difference of the basic version is 1000 yuan.

IPhone 14 series and Mate 50 series, who do you pick?

Appearance: neck and neck

The Mate 50, which was released one day earlier, has made a lot of innovations in hardware.

For example, in view of the expensive after-sale screen repair, the Mate 50 series uses Huawei's self-developed Kunlun glass for its initial launch, which increases its anti-fall ability to 10 times, which can effectively reduce the damage caused by accidental drop of the phone. It launches a "low-power emergency mode", which intelligently starts the concentrated energy pump at 1% of the electricity, realizing standby for 3 hours, or talking for 12 minutes.

For Apple Inc, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max use super-ceramic panels that are much stronger than glass panels, which are durable, water-resistant and dustproof, and can withstand common accidental splashes. Both models feature a new ultra-retinal XDR display that supports ProMotion technology, which also brings the same HDR peak brightness as the Pro Display XDR display, which is by far the highest outdoor peak brightness of the iPhone: up to 2000 nits.

Past generations of iPhone products have often been criticized by users for their poor battery life. However, the iPhone 14 series still has a small improvement in battery life. At the press conference, Apple Inc used "the iPhone with the strongest battery life in history" to describe the battery life of the iPhone 14 Plus.

In the other two models, the video playback time of the iPhone 14 Pro is 23 hours, while that of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is 29 hours, a slight increase from the 22 hours and 28 hours of video playback time of the previous generation.

In terms of design, Huawei Mate 50 series inherits the design language of axisymmetry and star rings, with the integration of "Paris nail" design and circular image layout on the back. Bring the colors of Frost Silver, Yao Gold Black and streamer Purple. The plain leather version applies the natural environment color to the fuselage design, including Kunlun Breaking Dawn and Kunlun Xiaguang.

The two new models of iPhone 14 haven't changed much in appearance. The standard edition is available in five colors: midnight, starlight, blue, purple and red. However, the screen designs of iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max abandoned bangs and replaced them with pill-shaped openings to become the iPhone with the highest screen share in five years.

Apple Inc named the new screen bangs Dynamic Island "Smart Island", which not only reduced the area occupied by the original bangs by 30%, but also designed a special set of interactions based on brand-new hardware.

On iOS 16, many notifications are designed to be presented as bubbles. In addition to displaying real-time information, this component also supports deeper interactions. For example, when a device such as a mobile phone camera or microphone is called, when the phone has an incoming call or message, and when face ID verification is carried out, the smart island will quickly change from a "pill" to a different shape and size.

Processor: A16 takes the lead

From the perspective of its own products, the performance improvement of the basic version of iPhone 14 is relatively small, with a full blood version of the A15 bionic chip. compared with the residual blood version of the previous generation, GPU has been upgraded from four cores to five cores.

However, the iPhone 14 Pro series comes with an A16 biomimetic processor from the new 4nm nanofabrication process. According to Apple Inc, this is the fastest smartphone chip in history and can handle high-load tasks.

How strong is the A16 bionic chip? Officially, the chip integrates 16 billion transistors, a 40 per cent increase over the A15 CPU.

At the same time, it uses an accelerated 5-core image processor with a 50% increase in memory bandwidth, making it ideal for running graphics-intensive games and app. The new 16-core neural network engine has a processing capacity of up to 17 trillion operations per second.

As the basis of the Pro-level camera system, the A16 bionic chip drives the function of computational photography. The CPU, image processor, neural network engine and image signal processor work together seamlessly to support camera hardware for up to 4 trillion operations per photo.

In addition, iPhone supports users to download and upload, play online and connect in real time using 5G technology.

According to the data disclosed by Apple Inc, the number of countries and regions that support iPhone 5G has increased to more than 70 worldwide and more than 250 operator partners.

The Huawei Mate 50 and Mate 50 Pro are equipped with Qualcomm Inc Snapdragon 8+Gen1 4G processors. However, there are media reports that Huawei Mate 50 series phones can be equipped with a 5G phone case to become a "5G phone". The principle is to upgrade the mobile network from 4G to 5G through the embedded eSIM chip and 5G modem in the case.

Image: four-in-one VS superluminous variable main photo

In the image, the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus did not improve much, with a 12 million-pixel main camera and a 12 million-pixel ultra-wide-angle lens with a maximum F1.5 aperture, which tripled the shooting speed in dark light. The front camera is 12 million pixels and supports autofocus.

The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max upgrade the main shot to a 48 million-pixel four-in-one camera with a 24mm focal length, an aperture of 1.78mm, and a 7p lens.

According to reports, the four-in-one pixel sensor can be adjusted according to the photos and has the anti-shake function of the second-generation sensor displacement optical image. For most photos, the four-in-one pixel sensor combines every four pixels into one large pixel, allowing you to take a high-quality image in low light conditions and keep the photo size at a practical 12 million pixels. The four-in-one pixel sensor also supports a 2x telephoto option without the need for digital zoom, which is very useful for functions such as portrait mode.

In addition, the two phones also add a 12 million-pixel ultra-wide-angle lens and a 12 million-pixel telephoto lens, which support 6x optical zoom and 15x digital zoom. The movie effect mode has also been upgraded from 1080p 30fps to 4K HDR 24fps.

As the first mobile phone manufacturer to put forward free-form lens technology, Huawei's investment in image technology runs through the development history of Huawei mobile phones. After breaking up with Leica, Huawei launched a new mobile video brand "XMAGE".

The first launch of the Mate50 series released the day before yesterday carries the brand new Huawei Image XMAGE. According to Huawei Managing Director, Terminal BG CEO and Intelligent vehicle solution BU CEO Yu Chengdong, Huawei Mate50 series has been comprehensively upgraded in four imaging aspects: optical design, mechanical structure, photoelectric conversion and image algorithm.

The Mate50 series is equipped with 50 million pixel superlight variable camera, F1.4 aperture and RYYB sensor, and its photosensitivity is 24% higher than that of Huawei Mate 40. The main camera of this series of mobile phones draws lessons from the adjustable design of the lens aperture on the traditional camera, and the ten-speed variable aperture lens can control the amount of light input by adjusting the opening and closing of six aperture blades.

The Mate 50 RS Porsche is designed with a super-light variable imaging system and the industry's first ultra-macro telephoto camera, the first dual-mirror group long-stroke sliding shaft technology, 35x super macro.

New function: the same "poking through the sky" technology

At the launch of Huawei's Mate 50 on Sept. 6, Huawei unveiled a "sky-breaking" technology-its Mate 50 series supports Beidou satellite messaging hardware capabilities.

According to Yu Chengdong, when mobile phone users are in an environment without ground network signals, such as no man's land, going out to sea, and earthquake rescue, with the blessing of satellite communication capability, they can also send text and location information to the outside world through the smooth connection of APP, keep in touch with the outside world, and support multiple locations to generate trajectory maps.

However, it is understood that Huawei Mate 50 series provides mobile terminal hardware for Beidou satellite messages, which only supports transmission and does not support reception, and needs to be used in open and unsheltered areas. Before using it for the first time, it needs to be activated through the smooth connection App in the environment with terrestrial network. At the same time, this function is limited to Chinese mainland areas.

In the early morning of the 8th, Apple Inc also released a similar "poking through the sky" technology, the first batch of which only supports the United States and Canada and will be used free of charge within two years.

Apple Inc said that iPhone 14 Pro supports the emergency help function of satellite communications. Based on custom components and specific software developed over two years of research, the iPhone 14 Pro can connect to specific satellite frequencies, send messages, and then communicate to emergency services through base stations, relay centers (if necessary).

According to Apple Inc's official statement, under ideal conditions, users with iPhone 14 Pro can send a message within 15 seconds. The information transmission capacity of this function is limited, and it can take several minutes if the user is sheltered by leaves in the woods.

The official introduction video shows that after the help message is sent, you can also receive a reply from the emergency assistance agency and confirm the location and other key data.

In addition, Apple Inc said that the US version of iPhone 14 will use electronic SIM, which is easier to activate and use iPhone, and is no longer a physical SIM card clip. In this way, if the phone is stolen, users are not afraid of losing their SIM card.

All models of the iPhone 14 series offer an unprecedented safety feature-the car accident detection function.

This function is realized by Apple Inc on the basis of 1 million hours of real driving and accident data. Equipped with dual-core acceleration sensors that can detect 256g-force and gyroscopes with high dynamic range, the iPhone 14 series can detect severe car crashes and automatically make emergency calls when users lose consciousness or cannot reach the iPhone.

So, would you choose the iPhone 14 series or the Mate 50 series? Welcome to discuss in the message area.
