Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

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 iPhone 14 isn't much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it's still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

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"

Samsung has done enough to update the looks and components to produce a palm-friendly Android winner but the standard S23 isn't a must-have upgrade device.

A better, cleaner style, Custom Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, Better selfie camera, May be the perfect size

Not different enough, Should have a 108MP sensor

Great device from an operational perspective, however much less aesthetically pleasing and less comfortable in the hand than my previous S10.

Pocketable, minimalistic design; All-day battery life; True flagship performance;

Near-identical to Galaxy S22; Slow charge speeds; Display only drops to 48Hz;

Easy to use so far. Still get frustrated that no matter what screen protector you have, the biosecurity doesn't work. Also thought i was getting some store credit, but nothing...? Camera is
