So, which iPhone 14 model should you get?
In comparison to previous models, we’d say now is a great time to buy a Pro-tier iPhone and a great year to skip the standard iPhone. The standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, with a modified version of last year’s chips. And only a couple of notable hardware features, don’t necessarily warrant an upgrade unless you really need a new phone. Meanwhile, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max introduce a slew of new features, both big and small. Including an always-on display, Dynamic Island, and an improved set of cameras.
