The Apple iPhone 14 isn’t a huge upgrade on the iPhone 13, yet it still is a great phone with a top camera, good battery life and all the iOS benefits.

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"

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

The Apple Watch Series 7 is an excellent smartwatch. It’s not the massive upgrade some were hoping for — but it doesn’t necessarily need to be. The larger display is nice, and I appreciate the efforts Apple is making to improve on charging.

Nobody can deny that the Apple Watch won the smartwatch wars, and the latest Apple Watch Series 7 only extends that lead. A collection of endearing enhancements rather than the all-out reinvention that some expected, 2021’s version blends a bigger display with the improvements of watchOS 8 , for a...

Bigger display, Faster charging, On-screen keyboard massively improves text-entry, Improved fitness tracking

Still just 1 day of battery life, Dedicated fitness wearables offer more tracking features

If you have a Series 6 then you basically already have a Series 7. So if you have an Apple Watch older than a Series 6, and you haven’t been compelled yet to switch, you’ll do just as well to continue waiting.

Faster charging, finally, While largely imperceptible in most conditions, more screen and less bezels are always good, Still the best smartwatch experience by a longshot, QWERTY keyboard text input beats all other modes, New colors! This includes a lighter (better) blue, Supposedly stronger screen

Same one-day battery life, Fitness and health data are too broad and decontextualized to inspire much engagement, It’s essentially a Series 6, The Series 7’s QWERTY keyboard exclusivity is totally unnecessary

Fast charging as the star feature. The Apple Watch 7 is mainly distinguished by a larger display without much of an increase in the watch size. The Californians have also equipped it with a fast charge function, but this is as far as the improvements for the newest Apple smartwatch go.

bright LTPO OLED, large amount of available apps, extensive heath features, accurate sensors, fast charging

not many improvements compared to the predecessor, fairly short battery life

There wasn’t a lot wrong with last year’s Series 6 , so a bigger, better screen and faster charging add to an already winning experience. It is still expensive, even if it is £10 cheaper than last year, and the lack of third-party watch faces means you’re stuck using only those that are built in.

Pros: excellent haptic vibrations, larger and better always-on screen, ECG, top health tracking, great activity tracking, 50m water resistance, solid battery, long software support, recycled aluminium.

Cons: expensive, only works with an iPhone, sleep tracking still not great, blood oxygen data not that useful, no third-party watch faces, not a giant upgrade.

This new iterative smartwatch focuses on biking, and the battery life still stinks.

Bigger, beautiful display. New QWERTY keyboard to ditch texting on your phone. Faster charging. Updated algorithms, especially for biking. The usual full suite of health features. Seamless incorporation with Apple software and hardware.

Battery still barely lasts a full day. Not enough newness to convince me to upgrade.

This is a Series 6 with a slightly larger display. That makes it better, technically, but it’s a disappointingly small improvement that has us thinking Apple should have skipped a year.

Bigger display with thinner bezels, Faster charging

Barely an upgrade from Series 6, Colors are arguably worse
