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 Apple iPhone 14 isn’t a huge upgrade on the iPhone 13, yet it still is a great phone with a top camera, good battery life and all the iOS benefits.

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

The Insta360 Ace Pro is an absolute monster and is the first action camera to hit the magic 8K video output. It offers this only at 24 frames per second but is a true marker in the ground for GoPro and DJI to take note of.

8K video resolution, Great stabilization, Handles low light and highlights well, Lots of mounting options

Expensive compared to alternatives, On the heavy side

Going for GoPro’s guts

Impressive low light video, Intuitive UI and companion app, Versatile tilting touchscreen

No 10-bit video, Mounting clip requires some care

Having tested the Ace Pro in a variety of scenarios, from off road biking and driving, to nighttime townscapes, its performance is very impressive. The footage is gorgeous, it’s very ease of use, and the features like AI Highlights and other modes stood out as a great differentiator.

Incredible video quality, AI-features are great, Easy to use, Strong construction

Unit can get a little hot when recording all day

Co-engineered with Leica, this AI-packed Action Cam is the one to beat.

It's almost impossible not to like the Insta360 Ace Pro. It has all the ingredients of the best action cameras: premium optics, a large sensor, a variety of shooting modes, easy operation, and a game-changing display.

Perfect for vlogging, thanks to the large, pivoting display, Large sensor for better low-light performance, A variety of shooting modes, up to 8K and 120 fps (in 4K), Lens co-engineered with optics-giant Leica, Magnetic quick-release attachment is pretty cool

No vertical video option in camera, AI highlights need some refinement, Hinged display probably isn't too durable in the long run

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.

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
