![]() ![]() The iPhone 14 is a great upgrade if you're using an 11 or older iPhone as it provides longer battery life, faster performance, a much better screen, increased durability and cameras as well as safety features like Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via Satellite. So, should you upgrade? If you like the iPhone 12 and 13, you'll be right at home on the iPhone 14, but there's no compelling reason to upgrade from either of those phones. On the left is the iPhone 14 and on the right is the iPhone 13 Pro. Gaming is fun and the iPhone 14 handled everything I threw at it, from Call of Duty Mobile and Asphalt 8: Airbourne Plus to Warped Kart Racers and Lego Brawls. In terms of performance, the iPhone 14 is speedy. The 14 has the one with the extra GPU core. Last year, there were two versions of this chip: One for the iPhone 13 and 13 Mini, and another with an extra GPU core for the iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 has Apple's A15 Bionic chip, which is the other reason it seems like a repackaged 13 Pro. Check out my iPhone 14 review video to see a bunch of clips I shot using the phone. Video quality is excellent overall in bright light, but under dimmer lighting the details look muddy. If you're shooting 4K video on the iPhone and use Action mode, the resolution drops to 2.8K. The Galaxy S22 has a similar feature called Super Steady. Basically, it applies GoPro-like levels of image stabilization when you're recording a video. There's also a new tool for video image stability called Action mode. Patrick Holland/CNETĬinematic mode got an upgrade and it can now record 4K video at 24 fps. The TrueDepth camera got a new faster f1.9 lens and now has autofocus which helps with group selfies. If you're hoping for more significant improvements, there's the more expensive iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max, both of which are brimming with updates. The iPhone 14 starts at $799 (including a $30 connectivity discount if you activate it with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile or Verizon), the same price as the iPhone 12 and 13 when they first went on sale. The result is lovely and the iPhone 14 is a good upgrade for most people. On the inside, Apple essentially repackaged the iPhone 13 Pro, sans the telephoto camera and high-refresh-rate screen. On the outside, the 14 inherits the iPhone 13's tried and true flat-sided aluminum design. The iPhone 14 is both an improvement on last year's iPhone 13 and one of the most minimal year-over-year upgrades in Apple's history.
