The Emergency SOS via satellite functionality feature allows users to communicate outside the cellular range. The feature will be launched in November and will be free to use for all iPhone 14 users for two years.

Videos have been improved significantly with the brand new Advanced Stabilization mode and the Action mode.

iPhone 14 Design & Display
When it comes to the design and appearance of the new iPhone 14, Apple hasn’t introduced anything new into the field. In fact, it looks quite similar to the previous iPhone 13 with no major distinctions in terms of design. The front notch is the same as was introduced last year and the rear camera module is once again, in a diagonal layout. While there are no apparent structural enhancements, Apple claims to have made significant improvements under the hood to improve its thermal performance. In theory, this would allow the iPhone 14 to withstand much greater temperatures than previous iPhone models.
Apple has also gotten rid of the physical SIM tray, which implies that the new iPhone 14 supports eSIMs exclusively. The Emergency SOS feature is a new addition to the iPhone 14, which enables some extent of satellite connectivity, allowing users to get emergency help without the need for a standard cell signal. Although the feature is paid, all iPhone 14 users will gain two years to free access to it.
The new Crash Detection is another safety feature that is able to automatically detect when you’re in a car crash and will immediately contact emergency services if you seem to be irresponsive at the time of the crash. A major part of the iPhone 14 design is its variety of exquisite color options. Color options include Midnight, Starlight, Blue, Purple, and Product (Red).
As for the display, the new iPhone 14 comes in two screen sizes, similar to the iPhone 13. However, the new screen size for iPhone 14 Plus is 6.7 inches, which is larger than last year. Also, the iPhone 14 features Apple’s Super Retina XDR OLED display with a peak HDR brightness of 1200 nits. All variants come with a Ceramic Shield on the front glass for greater durability.

Now: The Best Time to Sell Your Old iPhone
At this time every year, some of the iPhone owners have a typical pattern: the new iPhone is released, consumers buy the new model, transfer their data from old to new, and they resell their old iPhone model. It is suggested that you should avoid selling your old iPhone after the new iPhone is launched because the resale value will fall drastically after the launch. Instead, sell it before the launch.
If Apple sells the later version at a reduced price alongside with the launch of the newest iPhone, the resale value of your iPhone will not be as much as the resale value before the launch. Therefore, it is suggested that you should sell your phone now without dragging. 8th Ave Mobile will pay you on the spot right after you agree with the resale value that we offered.
