The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

The iPhone 14 isn't much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it's still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

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.

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

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.

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

The Zeiss Batis 2/40 CF ($1,299) is part of the company's line of full-frame lenses for the Sony mirrorless camera system. It captures an angle of view that's just a little wider than a standard, and focuses close enough for nearly macro results. It delivers the premium quality you expect from Zeiss, and is priced accordingly. It's a lens that will make anyone in love with the focal length and close focus capability happy, but there are a number of alternatives to consider if you're shopping for a moderately wide prime model. Design The Batis 2/40 matches the look and feel of others in the series. It's finished in matte black, with a metal barrel, a smooth rubber focus ring, and an OLED information panel. This 40mm f/2 measures 3.7 by 3.6 inches (HD), weighs 12.7 ounces, and supports 67mm front filters. The 40mm focal length isn't common. Not every camera maker offers a lens in between a 35mm and 50mm, and those that do have gained almost cult-like followings. There is one oth...

The Zeiss Batis 2/40 CF is a moderate wide-angle lens with near macro focus and crisp optics, but loses light when working close.

Sharp results, even at f/2; 1:3.3 macro focus; AF limiter switch; Dust and splash protection

Loses light at close focus; Not stabilized; Pricey

Quality, lack of compromise and elegance of design. These are the things that characterise the new lens, one which I have found very exciting to use. It also does not fall into the trap of being clinically sharp without having that indefinable character.

Excellent sharpness, Insignificant CA levels, No flare, Virtually no distortion, Modest vignetting, Relaxed, pleasant bokeh, Fast, silent AF, Character, Versatile focal length
