The iPhone 14 remains a good buy if you’re looking for a formidable flagship with a pocket-friendly design. It features an improved camera system that delivers better low-light performance and a faster and brighter TrueDepth camera with autofocus. On the video front, there’s a new Action mode for super steady footage.
Add in some handy safety features like crash detection and Emergency SOS via satellite, and you have a strong contender. But should you buy the iPhone 14 or wait for the bigger iPhone 14 Plus? Or you should splurge for the more advanced iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max?
The iPhone is certainly among the best iPhones and belongs on our best phone list. My iPhone 14 review breaks down all the pros and cons so you can decide if this is the right handset for your needs.
