Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

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 better than its predecessor, but it's also more expensive and doesn't have many significant upgrades.

Even faster, with a better camera and more features.

Charger is optional. Lacks telephoto lens. Price has been increased.

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

This is the first – and so far only – ultra-wide lens available for Canon’s EOS-R system and, as such, should be popular with landscape and architectural photographers. Its fast, constant f/2.8 maximum aperture will make it ideal for shooting in low-light interior conditions and for capturing...

It might have a hefty price tag but the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM performs remarkably well, keeping barrel and pincushion distortion under impressive control, delivering bright corners and not suffering from chromatic aberration.

Excellent optical quality with minimal distortion, Attractive focal length range, 5-stop image stabilisation

High price, Big and heavy, No 'de-click' switch for the control ring

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

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

The Canon RF 15-35mm f2.8L is the first ultra-wide lens in the native EOS R mount and a key model for the system. Like other high-end RF lenses, it performs very well whether you’re shooting near or far, taking photos or filming video.

Canon wants to set high standards with its RF lenses, and the RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM largely meets our expectations. It combines fast focusing, adequate sharpness across the frame and no visible distortion when looking at real world images.

5-stop Image Stabilizer; Smaller than EF equivalent; No apparent distortion

Eye-watering price tag; Edge definition average; This is a big lens
