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 much better than you'd expect for the price, and complete with weather protection. There are some drawbacks, including an autofocus system that's not as quiet as we'd expect, but it's a very good prime lens, especially when you take its very wide angle of view and low price into account. Short and Squat The 20mm f/2.8 is a short, squat prime lens. It measures 2.5 by 2.9 inches (HD), weighs 7.8 ounces, and supports 67mm front filters. Tamron includes a reversible, petal-style lens hood, as well as front and rear caps. It's only sold for Sony mirrorless cameras, and is compatible with both APS-C and full-frame sensor models. The barrel is made from polycarbonate. It's a sturdy composite, not the cheaper-feeling plastic used by Rokinon in its competing 18mm F2.8 AF ($399), also available for Sony systems. It also includes du...

The Tamron 20mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 lens is well made, affordable, and plenty sharp, but it doesn't offer lightning-fast autofocus.

Light and compact; Inexpensive; Excellent resolution; 1:2 magnification; Dust, splash, and fluorine protection

Uncorrected images show barrel distortion and vignette; Audible autofocus operation; Exhibits breathing during focus adjustment

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.

Design too familiar, Some average features
