Here Are The Best 5 Hidden Features on The iPhone 14 Pro
By SHIKHAR MEHROTRA
StandBy Mode
The StandBy Mode is essentially a nightstand mode that turns the device into a smart display if it’s charging and attached to a MagSafe-compatible accessory.
The feature will be available for iPhones compatible with the iOS 17 update, but only iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max can have the nightstand mode always active.
48MP Pictures
The 14 Pro and Pro Max have a new 48MP (f/1.8) sensor for better pictures. However, this feature must be activated in the Settings app by selecting Camera.
From the Camera menu, open Formats to turn on “Apple ProRAW,” then tap ProRAW Resolution and select 48MP. Enter the camera app, choose Photo mode, and tap the RAW button.
Always-On Display
Apple’s always-on display improved with iOS 16.2, allowing you to remove the battery-draining wallpaper from your iPhone’s AOD.
To activate, go to the Settings app, tap Display & Brightness, then select Always On Display. You should see the “Show Wallpaper” and “Show Notifications” toggles on the screen.
Screen Brightness
The Pro models can reach 1,600 nits peak brightness while viewing HDR content. However, it and the Pro Max support 2,000 nits peak brightness.
It only happens when the Auto-Brightness feature is on and used in direct bright sunlight. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size. The toggle will be near the bottom.
Dynamic Island
Dynamic Island is a prominent feature of the new iPhone lineup. It acts like a mini apps tray that allows you to view two background activities at once.
Swipe up on a supported app, like the Clock app, to send it to Dynamic Island. Open another app like Maps or Music and minimize it to send it to Dynamic Island.
