iPhone 14

While the Pro flies high, this one feels like it's stuck in a holding pattern

With the iPhone 14 Pro getting the lion's share of cool new features, the iPhone 14 feels lackluster.

Available in five colors Midnight, Purple, Starlight, (Product) Red and Blue - it sports the same 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR (2532x1170 pixel) display as the iPhone 13, although fans of larger phones can opt for the 6.7inch iPhone 14 Plus instead. Inside, the iPhone 14 now has the A15 Bionic from last year's iPhone 13 Pro, albeit with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3.

Storage capacities are the same as last year, with the $799 iPhone 14 coming with 128GB of storage; the $899 model with 256GB and the $1,099 model with 512GB. There's no 1TB option again here.

Luckily, the iPhone 14 makes up for it with a better camera system, featuring a new 12MP Main camera with a bigger sensor and larger pixels, as well as a new TrueDepth front camera. Apple's Photonic Engine also delivers improved mid- to low-light performance - up to 2.5x on the Main camera and 2x elsewhere. Like the iPhone 14 Pro, the iPhone 14 also includes an Action mode to help smooth movement and reduce camera shake when shooting video.

Like other 2022 iPhones, the iPhone 14 also includes Crash Detection, which automatically alerts the emergency services in the event of a severe car crash, plus Emergency SOS via Satellite which, again, enables you to summon help when out of reach of a mobile phone signal.
