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

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.

Creators using the Sony mirrorless camera system have a wealth of 50mm prime lenses from which to pick. The FE 50mm F1.4 GM ($1,299.99) joins the family as the most affordable in the lux G Master series. Its optics are sublime and you get snappy linear focus, all-weather construction, and robust on-barrel controls. But while the FE 50mm F1.4 GM offers exceptional performance and picture quality, it competes with a value option that’s nearly as good and significantly less costly. Discerning photographers may find reason to spend more on the Sony model, but most will be perfectly satisfied with the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG DN Art for just $849.A Host of Standard Primes The FE 50mm F1.4 GM joins a lens library that's already rife with bright standard primes, but does some things to stand out from the pack. Form factor is one: The 50mm F1.4 GM is sized very much in line with Sony's 24mm and 35mm F1.4, something videographers who employ gimbal stabilization will appreciate. Our Exp...

The Sony FE 50mm F1.4 GM lens brings the standard prime into the modern era with fast focus and sharp results across the frame.

Excellent resolution at maximum aperture; Fast, linear autofocus; Sturdy build with dust, splash, and fluorine protection; Robust on-barrel controls; Supports 30fps drive with select cameras

Focus breathing correction only available with newer cameras; Limited macro capability

You'll need some deep pockets, but if you've been holding out for Sony to launch a high-quality wide-angle prime, you won't be disappointed with the FE 24mm f/1.4 GM.

Excellent image quality, Beautiful bokeh, Lightweight design, Fast AF

Pricey
