iPhone 14 delivery date: worth the wait?
We like all three iPhone 14 models we’ve reviewed so far, albeit in slightly different ways. The iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max models are must-buys if you can afford them, as they feature all of Apple’s latest innovations like an always-on display, Dynamic Island notch, and a 48MP primary camera.
The iPhone 14 looks more like an upgraded iPhone 13 than a brand new phone, but if your current phone is a few years old, it’s worth the upgrade.
