Should you buy the iPhone 14?

Buy it if

  • Emergency SOS via satellite and crash detection are features you value
  • You want 6GB RAM at a lower price point than the Pro models
  • You're buying secondhand and want a solid, still-supported Apple phone

Skip it if

  • You want Dynamic Island or Always-On display — those are iPhone 14 Pro exclusive
  • You want ProMotion 120Hz — the 60Hz display is the main obvious compromise
  • You'd rather pay a bit more for the iPhone 15, which adds Dynamic Island and USB-C
