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.

Sony is paying attention to a neglected focal length with its slim FE 40mm F2.5 G ($599.99). It's an especially small prime, built for travel and packing light, with an angle of view that's just a bit narrower than a 35mm lens. An aluminum barrel, weather protection, and tactile controls add to its appeal, as do optics that are sharp and focus close. It faces strong competition from the similar Sigma 45mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary, available for about $50 less, but it's hard to argue with the results that either delivers. Like the Sigma lens, we're giving the FE 40mm F2.5 G an Editors' Choice award, and recommend it especially to photographers who have never warmed to a 35mm prime.Compact G Concept The FE 40mm is one of three new lenses from Sony, all with the same basic outward appearance. It sits in between the FE 24mm F2.8 G and FE 50mm F2.5 G in focal length, but all are housed in metal barrels, with (barely) enough room for hands-on controls. Overall fit and finish is excellen...

The Sony FE 40mm F2.5 G is a moderately wide prime that nets great photos without cutting corners in construction, placing it among our favorite small lenses for the Sony system.

Slim, light build; Dust and splash protection; Full-frame coverage; Declickable aperture ring; On-lens function button; Speedy, quiet autofocus

Visible focus breathing; Missing anti-smudge protection; Cramped controls

The third lens of the set proves itself beyond doubt to be up amongst the best. As a set, they are remarkably consistent and at a very high level as well. Ergonomics are excellent and the technical performance leaves nothing to be desired.

The Sony FE 50mm f2.5 G is a compact standard prime lens that aims for portability but also delivers on quality, even mounted on modern high-res bodies with the aperture wide-open.

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.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

“The iPhone 14 isn't a huge upgrade compared to its predecessor. But with a great design, screen, performance, and cameras, that's far from a bad thing at all.”

Comfortable, high-end build, OLED screen looks fantastic, A15 chip performs great, Good camera upgrades, Dependable battery life, Helpful safety features

60Hz display, No telephoto camera, eSIM might be a pain for some
