It's easy to get carried away and lose sight of just how far we've come in the smartphone world. Apple's iPhone 14 is 7.8 millimeters thick but can communicate directly with satellites, boasts photographic talents that eclipse dedicated cameras and action cams, and does so starting at just $799.

Improved low-light camera performance, Clever safety features (you hope you won't need)

Improvements feel evolutionary, eSIM may prove a headache, iPhone 13 offers much the same for $100 less

The iPhone 14 is very similar to the iPhone 13, which itself was very similar to the iPhone 12. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad phone — it’s just less of an upgrade for anyone using a phone that’s only two years old.

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

You really only need the 128gb as it has so much storage, phone runs smoothly and has a lot of handy shortcuts to make using it easier. Best phone Ive owned

Quicker and more compatible this aiphone wont disappoint

Easy purchase, peace of mind, very competitive price… I will be back

I chose this phone because I wanted the larger size, and am not disappointed. I can now read the screen easily without glasses! I also like that I can now unlock the phone from a face scan even though I am wearing a face covering. All that you expect from an iPhone; would recommend.

“The big screen and two-day battery life make the excellent iPhone 14 Plus tempting, but it's not compelling enough to withstand the challenge from the superior iPhone 14 Pro, or the bargain nature of the iPhone 14.”

Large, vibrant, detailed screen, Two-day battery life, Easy to use software, Great everyday camera

It's a big phone, 60Hz refresh rate
