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

It took Nikon a while to get into gear regarding their fast primes, but at least in case of the AF-S 35/1.4 G the result is impressive and was worth the wait. The image center is very sharp right from the largest aperture, the borders and corners follow only slightly behind and offer very good...

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G ($1,799.95) is a wide-aperture lens aimed at photographers who adore the classic wide-angle field of view that a 35mm prime lens captures. It's a fine lens that's quite sharp through most of the frame, showing just a bit of softness at the edges when paired with a...

Excellent center sharpness; Wide aperture gathers a lot of light; Solid build quality; Good close focus capability

Some edge softness at wider apertures; Mild barrel distortion; Expensive

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G ($1,799.95) is a wide-aperture lens aimed at photographers who adore the classic wide-angle field of view that a 35mm prime lens captures. It's a fine lens that's quite sharp through most of the frame, showing just a bit of softness at the edges when paired with a full-frame camera, but it's also one that's quite expensive and heavy. If you don't mind sacrificing half a stop of light gathering capability, don't count out the light, budget-friendly Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G ($529.95 at Amazon) as an alternative. If you absolutely need the shallow depth of field provided by an f/1.4 optic, and want a lens that's sharp from edge to edge, our Editors' Choice Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM ($683.00 at Amazon) is better than the Nikkor version in many regards, and it's a lot less expensive. The Nikkor 35mm ($1,546.95 at Amazon)  isn't that big of a lens, but it's heavy. It measures 3.5 by 3.3 inches (HD) and supports 67mm front filters, but it weighs in a...

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

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

Best Uses : Street, Event, Low light I have read people complain in forums that this lens is inferior to the 24mm AF/S. The perspective between the 24 & 35 are vastly different. It's not a matter of which is sharper, more important is which perspective is needed/preferred.

Sharp; Contrast; Build

Price

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
